the republican primary voters are enamored with michele bachman and then with rick perry. and i think the same thing will happen with herman cain. he is the most likable candidate and people have laid off him because he is likable. but anyone looking at this nine nine plan looks at it as gimmicky. >> but the voters are not all serious economists and a straight forward explanation beats a -- >> that's going to -- >> they want a serious candidate. >> we have to leave it there now. i'm sure this is not the last time we will talk about the nine nine plan here. >>> the jobs bill. the president is chris crossing the country may be trying to sell what is dead. the senate voted not to continue debate on the 447 billion dollars job package. the question now is what is next? kelly o'donnell is joining us. good afternoon to you. first is the jobs bill as it is now constructed is it officially dead in. >> even the white house will acknowledge it is going nowhere that the death nail was put in it last night when the senate had most democrats but all and couldn't get tot the next phase.

and the question a lot of us had early on, pawlenty was up, down-and-out, michele bachman had a surge, perry had a surge. you seem to be maintaining it. what's the reason that you think you are able to maintain this surge? >> i think that the florida straw poll that took place about three weeks ago really sent the message, number one, the voice of the people is more powerful than the voice of the media, with all due respect. the second thing that came out of that, sean, is that message is more powerful than money. right from the beginning, and you've seen it in the dough -- the debates, i have talked about solution to problems, developed the solutions and shared them with the public and they are connecting with the public. you know that my economic growth and jobs plan has become very popular with the public. 9-9-9 plan but i have also put other ideas on the table. so i believe what's happening, base on what people are telling me, is that the fact that i have a direct, clear message about how i would address these crises we face is resonating with the american people and i think that

michele bachman was surging, now she's fallen off. rick perry surging, now fallen off. mitt romney seems to be the contestant frontrunner, leader, and he doesn't seem to lose is that status. newt gingrich is on the coming up. and herman cain is on the rise. >> it feels like speed dating. >> yeah, i speed dated my whole life. usually it was like do you want to go out on a at date and they would say no and that would be speed dating in my world. >> well, republicans want someone of principle. they want to know that's a person who say what they mean and mean what they say, number two, they want someone who is intelligent to have the ability to make the changes. and three someone that can beat barack obama. all the candidates have two out of three but to a typical primary voter there is always someone missing when i is why they examine a candidate and fall back, examine a new candidate. >> i'm undecided. i'm the quintessential undecided voter. president obama policies have failed, the country can do better, and i don't want to see 46.2 americans in poverty because i know we

michelle bachman is the one who sort of expressed the underlying sentiment, why you get the rises andhe falls of these candidates who make a temporary and quick run, then they fall back. she said, this time we don't want to settle, meaning we don't want somebody like romney who is a moderate and who is not a true believer. the problem -- that's a pretty big constituency because if he's got a quarter of the electorate, that means 75% is looking for somebody else. the problem is that other somebody else hasn't materialized. bachman is a member of the house. we have an elected member of the house in the presidency in about 150 years. cain isn't even in politics. the last time we elected someone who was outside the system was eisenhower. and all he did was win world war ii. with all due respect to herman cain and his achievements, which are considerable, being supreme ally to commander at nor man dee is not in the same league as being head of a company. i'm not sure there is anybody who has the stature to quickly take away the vote that romney doesn't have and i think that if you had to b

cain coming long as kind of the new flavor of the week after rick perry crashed and burns and michelle bachmanshed and burned. it warms my heart to see this republican field. it certainly makes me feel a little bit better about the president's reelection prospects. >> rick: brad, i don't know, i think that sort of the angle that a lot of the main stream media takes is the one that we just heard, that this is a fractured party that republican party. what do you think about that and what do you think about the fact that a lot of people say that the battle for this nomination is very much a battle for the future of the gop? >> i think it's wishful thinking on the part of my counterpart. it's nonsense that we're fractured. look at going back to the last presidential election with hillary clinton and obama. was her party fractured when they had so many candidates initially running? it's called running to be selected before you're elected. it's perfectly ordinary, where you have a lot of candidates running and for the field to be whittled down once people go to the polls throughout the country to se

. >> in fairness, michele bachman and newt gingrich and herman cain and everybody else said it's off the table and shouldn't be an issue and i think that's smart. do you think it hurts governor perry and what about the ad is the perry campaign has used to go after romney? clearly they are viewing romney as the top candidate. >> well, i think the mormon cult think steps on the publicity they are hoping to get with the advertisement. eats a legitimate question to ask him about obama care. he's been asked that a number of times in the debates and he said very clearly as governor of massachusetts i supported it, but as president of the united states i would oppose it. and i think he's been very clear about that. but it doesn't hurt to keep his feet to the fire and to keep his focus on that issue. i think that if it weren't for that, romney would be running away with this race at this point. and i think people have doubts and they need to hear romney dissuade those doubts and i think it's a legitimate for perry to raise that. >> let me go to herman cain. he will be joining us later tonigh

when michele bachman said god sent hurricane irene to warn us against all this spending, i wrote a poem that said why be so hard on vermont? if god doesn't like the spending why do you pick on vermont? they don't spend any more than anybody else, in fact they are thought of us thrifty new england. so they would trump out and christi out all the hair jokes and fat jokes. i think what in a way which people in this trade it's not good for the country we say the same thing dentists say about 2-cd de que it is a pity but where would business be without it they are obvious as the target. i think that dan quayle was one of those. the full title of full palm the title came from was of little oblivious league with marks not quite as good as quayle. i think that perry had worse marks. that is a to line poem which i like to write because i get paid $100 a poem. at that time the highest paying magazine was the new yorker which made $10 a line don't understand why there's not a huge crowd at the poetry both at the career of a fair. but i get $10 a line and i mean $100 a poem no matter what, so when

this morning despite fading badly in the polls in recent weeks, the minnesota congresswoman michelle bachmanrings her presidential campaign to the bay area there are some visits--there is some video tour visit to the north bay last month. it has been a tough stretch for some referred keep paying--key campaign track --some of our keyn staff have quit. today she would talk about the revival of american competitiveness. >>mark: we will be right back as the kron4 morning news continues now let us first check out the james lick freeway is open for business this morning. ]s >>justine: good morning more breaking news we are now getting reports that moammar gadhafi is dead. they say yes died of wounds to it as reported captured. this is coming from voiters which also reported that he was shot in the leg and captured and eventually died of the wounds. this comes as the government says they have see is moammar gadhafi hometown the u.s. state department has not confirm these reports. we're hearing new information coming into our newsroom the latest information is that moammar gadhafi is now dead. >>dar

there are only two on the list that i know of, sarah palin has not yet declared, and michele bachman who is doing very poorly right now in early returns, or early poll results in the republican party on debates. and in the polling numbers for her. i don't see either of them being the ultimate candidate for the republican party. on the democratic side all things being equal, the current president would be the party candidate. so that will foreclose any opportunity for a woman in the party to come forward. so i see no presents for women as presidential candidates in 2012. let me do say that some polling data, the most recent iciness only been from 2008 coming in very early on 2008 presidential primaries. about 87% of americans are willing to say that they would vote for a qualified woman, regardless of sex that they would be as went to vote for a woman as to vote for a man. americans are more likely, more willing to vote for someone who is african-american or someone jewish or president than they are for a woman. and i think that number is slightly lower than had been the previous resu

>>catherine: michelle bachman said it was not the president's idea they simply were not welcome any longer> the president had his head handed to him, we spend over $845 billion to secure democracy in that country as well as a loss of lives. essentially they said to the president of the united states get out of our country in two months. if 45,000 troops out in two months. the administration said we have everything we wanted. we got nothing out of this deal. now we have expended a lives and treasure and iran is waiting in the wings to come in and dominate that area and have the influence in iraq what was this for? >>catherine: newt gingrich was at a chicken fillet restaurant and he said the bickering among the candidates with a turnoff. another issue he says that he understands the frustration behind the occupy wall street movement but he does not approve of the tactics used by some protesters. [music] >>vern: we will take outside to the north bay will we have this beautiful shot of the sunset. the sun is going down but we have a nice day in the bay area today. temperatures looking pretty g

michele bachman joked about the numbers. >> one thing i would say is that when you take that nine andplan and turn it upside down, the devil is in the details. >> jon huntsman thought that it was the price of a, fathers pizza. godfather's... pizza. >> the san bruno their case will be removin-the san bruno area will be promotinif removing bars that was the result of the san bruno explosion from last year. at 38 homes destroyed. several deaths. it was a tragedy. the month the san francisco voters by mail received a faulty information. the cost will be paid by the printer. based in portal. voters are still not sure of their voting pole election? can contact local office. >> randy ripple is going to step down. he became a city attorney in 20 09. he helped with a debate over casino possibility construction. he was also a liaison between chevron and the city of san francisco. >> dr. conrad murray is winding down the case is winding down. three additional experts are going to be called to the stand. the remaining witnesses include experts in cardiology, and the aesthetic propofol that is wha
