72 ts for most of miami dade county - an area of over 2,000 square miles. there's rarely a need for them around the famous south beach. most of srt's work is focused on the run-down districts to the north of the city. in miami gardens, one of america's most violent areas srt are being briefed for the arrest of another member of the 170 boyz gang. ray sync: pictures of the structure. definitely, definitely orange. we're going to go westbound 167th street to 22 avenue, at 22 avenue prior to the traffic light we're going to stop, get out of the truck, forward onto the bearcat. we're going to go northbound on 25 avenue, our structure, corner structure at 170 and 25. joe, once again, once you stop if we need additional help up front, we may have kids. i'll put you out in front as a babysitter so we can dump them off. alright, guys, let's go, let's beat the rain. narr: as there are children at the property, srt need to walk a fine line. they must hit the house aggressively to minimise their own exposure to danger, but also shield the children from harm. to make m

of his margin victory won by over 200,000 votes, half of it basically came in five counties, the state of miami here, dadem beach, plus tampa bay, st. pete and tampa, pinellas and hillsborough, something like 49% of his margin simply came out of these five counties. it really was a stunning number. he won miami-dade by 38,000 votes. won it by almost 50%. just a huge number on that. let's look at what was another unbelievable number when you really think about it. 40% of republicans came out and viewed newt gingrich unfavorably. this is republicans. if you had a 40% unfavorable rating in a general election, that would be okay. it's not great, it's not something you want. it's about where president obama is in his personal rating with all of the elector raitt. newt gingrich 40% unfavorable with florida republicans. you think negative ads don't work? they work. the next thing that was probably the second most important number out of this and why newt gingrich and santorum want to go on. look at this number, 41% not conservative enough. among those folks who said mitt romney wasn't conservative enough, newt g

beat him 36-21 and so many votes came right down here in miami, dade county. 370,000 registered republicansn this county alone and three-quarters are hispanic or cuban american. we'll look tonight to see if romney can pick up some of the votes that mccain took from him four years ago. early indications in jacksonville will tell us how romney is doing and gingrich is cutting into his votes. romney an easy winner by some points four years ago. in the southwest part of the state. down around naples, a lot of retirees, romney owned this territory four years ago, 49-22%. 36% of the population lives along the i-404 corridor the center part of the state. election after election, these are swing voters and 13 different counties that could determine the winner tonight. four years ago, in 2008, a bit of swing state. obama a 3-point winner over john mccain back in 2008. back in 2004 it was close but bush winner over kerry even more closely four years prior. we'll say, polls close in 45 minutes. >> shep: bill hemmer, thank you very much. a powerful lawmaker is threatening to hold the attorney general e

second of all, the green in southern florida, miami-dade county in particular, we talked about this. mitt romney lost by 52 votes to john mccain. remember, rudy giuliani ran for president. >> rudy giuliani remembers. >> yeah, absolutely. he won the race this time around. it shows you in in kwas he's the mccabe figure. they may not like the comparison but he is the mccain figure. the centrist, campaign candidate, and he's doing enough among conservatives. i would point out he won self-identified republicans. he's doing enough, i think, to really restart his momentum. >> but when you look at the conservative vote as the numbers for people who identify themselves as being very conservative, he still has a problem there. he hasn't made the deal. >> and if that number stood out to me as well as strongly supportive of the tea party. he lost them to newt gingrich as well. the question is how big is it. there's a clear segment on the ideological right of who is still not comfortable with mitt romney. but i would point out those people were not comfortable with john mccain either in 2008. at

one-fourth of romney's vote of last night came from palm beach, broward and miami-dade counties. viewer understand a republican in a general election is not going to win those three counties over barack obama. if i'm newt gingrich, i want to take on mitt romney in places like the northern panhandle in florida which is states like louisiana, texas, mississippi, alabama, georgia,et al. >> he needs to hire you as his coach. thank you very much. good to see you. >>> a possible extension of the federal pay freeze tops our looks at stories around the news nation today. the house is expected to vote on the measure today that would freeze the salaries of federal employees, including members of congress and their staff for a third year. president obama wants to be end the pay freeze next year and raise federal salaries a half percent. bail increased for the former los angeles school teacher accused of taking sexually explicit photos of children. mark berndt was on court today on allegations he committed lewd acts involving nearly two dozen children. bail has been raised from $2 million to

in florida, you know, particularly if you look at hispanic voters, romney's doing better in miami-dade county where there's a lot of cuban-american, and did well in the jacksonville area, a strong base of support for him, and the fact he's essentially running the table south of orlando, you know, makes it very difficult for anybody to beat him. newt gingrich relied on that southern conservative vote next to his home state of georgia, and it's not enough to win a state like florida, and that's why mitt romney is looking to be the winner tonight. >> last question for you because i know you have to get back to the news room. busy night of reporting for you. is it too early to say what the lessons of the florida g.o.p. primary are? >> well, you know, we seem to have whiplash right now. it looked after new hampshire, you know, mitt romney had one two state, and then after south carolina, he was down to winning only one state because newt gingrich won south carolina and iowa changed its result to go for rick santorum. i think what this result does for romney is it sets him back on the path of being

elected, so i am very happy to say also i serve as the chairman of black history for the '95 miami-dade public county schools. i have a whole segment of the community that is interested in making sure that everyone learns african-american history as they come to the public schools so that we meet quarterly to my give suggestions to the african-american history test course and make sure that goal is met. so, today we continue that legacy, and i want to think all of the in turns, in my office for all that they have done, especially in pulling this together, thanking c-span for coming up to cover as today. as we move along we expect more people to come that have just called votes. i'm going to vote. i only have two votes. i will be back to enjoy this one the fourth session. our great out areas to this morning. let's give him a hand. this is seen as a door we're so pleased, this is just a great day in washington. >> thank you very much. now please welcome matt wasniewski. >> thank you for arranging the seven senators to discuss black history month in a particular the history of african americans in congr

maybe one to three inches of rainfall here, broward county, miami-dade here, homestead, you'll get theest of rainfall but we may even get good rainfall into several parts of florida. that's good news. all of florida is in some type of drought condition. much of south florida could use a good eight to ten inches of rainfall to make up for the deficit. we've had a lot of fires burning across parts of florida so any kind of rain is much needed. you're saying to yourself is this unprecedented, have we ever had any kind of prop cal system before in the month of february? well, yes we have and it happened on ground hog day back in 1952. it was a tropical storm, maximum winds around 50 miles per hour. take a look at the track that it took. very similar to what we're expecting this one to do. we'll keep our eye on it. don, back to you. >>> residents of joplin, missouri, still trying to recover from the massive tornado that hit last year and part of that recovery comes in the form of a new hospital. we'll take you there next. are you still sleeping? just wanted to check and make sure that we we

there is a powerful organized machine to turn out the cuban-american vote in miami dade county. once it and imagine cuban-american legislators saying it is not going to affect us necessarily because that is not where cuban voters necessarily are going to be voting. that said i think there's a perception that cuban-americans are powerful. the social issue is not conservative. they vote for republicans -- they are democrats. they form policy. kind of a little different from what people think but you are getting a diversification so they're no longer the majority population and they are not necessarily -- on all issues. they may not have had the power of it happening in the broader sense. >> i have a question for dan. i will take off my commissioner had. i used to work in your office as an attorney in the 90s. you emphasize the state level based -- redistricting. the most attention in california and nationally but given the small size of the population in many parts of california, local they redistricting efforts, board of education where there are districts, might seem an area whe

these are critical in the general election, miami, dade, palm beach counties, the largest counties in miami-dade, getting 63% of the vote of republicans. broward county, 10% of the population, 52%. to palm beach county, 55%. that's the point i was going to make. this is why that speech is so important. look at these areas of strength. remember this area in a competitive election of florida, i-4 tampa to orlando, independent voters, swing voters, these are very important parts of the state. i want to make that point come back to 28008 and the presidential race. barack obama won florida but it was a close race and the unemployment race has gone up. look down here, general election, democratic territory, performing very well. split area, mccain doing well and obama some others. when governor romney speaks tonight he is speaking to the people of florida but wants to project a sign of strength to move on. >> this is a close state. only republicans can vote. that does not necessarily bode well in november, if assuming mitt romney gets the nomination for president obama. he needs florida. he

. >> you have to be concerned he did so well in miami-dade and broward and palm beach county, the largest population centers in the state. those are economies that the president of the united states will desperately need to have a shot at florida. >> president obama, i'm quite confident, is going to win overwhelmingly in south florida. like most presidential candidates do on the democratic side, the republicans really need to be kirned tonight because if there was so much fervor on their side to beat president obama, they would have had a bigger turnout in the primary in 2012 than 2008, and it was lower. that's reflective of the fact they're not very enthusiastic about their field. that's going to cause them problems down the road. florida is the biggest battleground state and it's going to be key to the candidate that wins, which i think will be barack obama. >> is he the strongest candidate, the one you fear the most as a democrat? >> you know, fear is certainly not the term i would use. it doesn't much matter which one of the republican candidates ultimately is there nominee. they're a

miami than it is up in gadsden county. you can't make the same speech there as you make in dade county.uggesting that politicians have to speak out of both sides of their mouths? >> i'm suggesting they're going to need more than two sides of their mouth if to win florida. talking like charlie mccarthy on acid. >> does it concern you that florida is playing this out-sized role in determining who the republican nominee is and in the fall, determining who the president is when so much of the economic hardships started here in florida? >> it's ironic and terrifying at the same time. we have ghost towns of subdivisions in this state now that were built for people who maybe six, seven, eight years before those are occupied. the state of exploitation, of resources from the very beginning. not democratic, not republican. >> hiaasen still loves florida and has no plans to move anywhere else. for a writer would likes to lampoon everybody from politicians to developers, he says there's too much good material to leave. >>> for "cbs this morning," chip reid, hair he will beach, florida. >> another g

miami-dade. so many votes down here, many of them democratic, but still so many republican. romney 61-26 over newt gingrich in the southeast. pop up to hillsborough county. this is tampa. a lot of votes here as well. 48 28. in the hillsborough county area and west of there in pinellas. jacksonville, this is the area, duval county, northeastern part of the state where romney was very strong four years ago. this year just barely ened gingrich by a point. we'll get to that throughout the morning. we'll explain the significance. if you go back to four years ago in 2008 where mccain and romney went head-to-head. here is mccain and romney in florida orange. this is where mccain dominated. picked up so many votes in the southeast. also on the western edge of the i-4 corridor. this year if you change the map to 2012 you see romney picked up so much momentum last night in florida. i want to bring in stephen hayes, writer for "the weekly standard" and fox news contributor. >> good morning, bill. bill: what do you think last night means today? >> this is, i think this is a really decisive victory for mitt romney, 46%. nearly half of the votes. if you look at the v

65 counties that fit the bill of terror hath spots the bigger the red dot the bigger the terror hot spot. one-third of all terrorist attacks happened in five areas. manhattan, los angeles, miami-dadey found that terrorism has also changed over the years. in the 70s it was all about extreme left-wing groups. in the 1980s the terror was about religiously motivated groups. in the 1990s it was extreme right-wing groups. you know it's interesting as well because in texas they have only experienced right-wing terrorism, and in the bronx, new york, only left-wing terrorism. look at this. we focus a lot now on terrorism and homeland security, but it's actually at historic lows. the attacks in the united states have actually dropped over the years. look at this from 70 down to 2008, that is an indication maybe because we are foiling more of these terrorist attacks or actually alert towed more o alert towed more of them the reason these things are going down. megyn: that's good. that map is down right terrifying for those of us -- put it back up. those of us working here, this lit area behind me, that is smack-dab underneath that huge, receipt circle. this is like new year's eve when they a
