megyn: fox news alert. breaking news on what is becoming the biggest media controversy to date in the 2012 presidential race. welcome to "america live," everyone, i'm megyn kelly. it started early yesterday, just hours after president obama announced his support for same-sex marriage, his personal support. "the washington post" publishes a lengthy story about mitt romney allegedly bullying a high school classmate back in 1965. and some say that classmate was presumed to be gay. governor romney immediately apologized for any wrongdoing or pranks and said he could not remember that specific incident. late yesterday the primary source for the story admitted he was never there, and did not remember the incident. the alleged victim passed away years ago. this is a picture of him. but his family is now speaking out. according to abc news the sister of this alleged victim of romney's bullying says she has no knowledge of this story, and says that if he were alive today he would be furious about this reporting. ano

megyn: right. here's my question, brit hume said this is going to wind up being a net negative for the president because even though the wide polls sort of asking a majority of americans, even though they have shown a significant shift toward favors gay marriage versus eight years ago or four years ago, he believes that people may be telling the pollsters something different than what they actually believe if you look at the numbers of states that have banned gay marriage, thus the risk to pram -- president obama in american voters, not to mention these top democrats coming out when push comes to shove on the opposite side of where he is. >> it is not surprising for me to say brit hume was quite right. [laughter] and the fact of the matter is this, not only is there a suppressed effect to antis and polls, because people don't want to say, yeah, and don't let 'em get married either, there's that factor. then there's also the fact if pollsters asked this question: how would you like this topic to jus
