we are with presidential hopeful mit romney. >> what do you think of his class warfare rhetoric?are. now the numbers don't lie. 47% of americans don't pay a penny in federal income taxes. he keeps saying over and over again, the rich don't pay their fair share. what is your response to that? that you would be representing -- you would be the representative for the party of the rich. >> look, we have as a nation an extraordinary opportunity ahead of us. we have a new century. this can be a of and must be an american century. only way that happens is if we pull together as a people. i know there are people who want to divide america and think that will somehow help their campaign prospects. you can't divide america. we have to come together and all the streets are connected in america. we've got to encourage main street and wall street and the suburban streets and the urban streets. we've got to come together as a people. when president obama was candidate obama he campaigned with a message of unity and change. he just hasn't delivered. he's done the exact opposite of what he promi

but there's mit romney. how did he do tonight? >> mit romney did fine. mit romney always seems to do fine. he knows a lot about issues. he's studied up on areas he has limited experience and he had a lot to say about everything. i thought he held up fairly well. he got into a little exchange there with at one point with his fellow mormon, jon huntsman. seems like he came out of that fairly well. i think mit romney did fine but i'm not sure this is a night you say this is the night when mit romney moved off his 25% in the polls and began to shoot upwards among the republican faithful. i don't think that moment is coming, although like i said he did fine. >> you watch the players come and go and emerge and submerge to some extent. how do you see the landscape over the next several weeks as we head to iowa in until people start voting, this is what we've got to go on, these debates and enter changes. >> and these polls. of course, the thing that the polls can't measure, martha, is intensity of feeling and intensity of feeling begins to come in play when peo

and i had heard of something called the mit blackjack team, but i thought it was like a class at mit where you kind of learned to play blackjack or something, but this had been going on for about 25 years. and each group of students after they were finished would train the next group of students. so this had been going on for, you know, two case at mit, since the early '70s. and i was blown away. and so that, you know, for me that was it, you know? i'd been writing all this, you know, pop fiction, and this was a true story that was better than the stuff i'd been coming up with on my own. >> host: well, ben mezrich, what was illegal about this? because -- >> guest: it's not illegal. there's nothing illegal about card counting, but casinos frown upon it. when you're playing blackjack, it's different than, say, roulette or any of the other games because blackjack has a memory. and what that means is that every card that comes out of the blackjack deck is no longer in the deck. so the odds change as you play. roulette is different. you know, you could spin red 25 times in a row, it doesn

he is running another business with other mit guys. one of the other kids went to write for tv and wrote for the show chuck on tv. he was a technical guy. someone else ended up on wall street. the girl kicked balls worth played as a big-time lawyer in boston. these are smart people. they weren't bad or doing anything illegal. they reusing mass to win and for them it was like a math problem out of the classroom. they have done well. >> host: the book bringing down the house. this one from new york magazine is bringing down the house fraud? will charges of inaccuracy bring down bringing down the house from the new york times? >> no. and have been a controversial water ever since mine first nonfiction book lot of journalists don't like the way i write nonfiction. i write nonfiction as if it is a thriller. i go inside the story. i am a message writer. i become a part of it as much as i can and i write it like it is a thriller, not a documentary or something out of the encyclopedia. what happens is book comes out and there are some old worl

now that is a double-digit lead over mit romney, who comes in second, 19%. comes in with 13%. in new hampshire, a new poll shows gingrich and romney in what they are saying a statistical dead heat now. they were asked if the vote was held today who would they vote for? joining me now with reaction to the of-changing fop field, former san francisco mayor, one and only, willy brown is back. and republican strategist, columnnist, nicole. >> you support barack obama, right? >> i do. >> that's fine. if there's one republican you fear the most, who would it be? >> i think newt gingrich represents the biggest threat from a democratic standpoint simply because he has more experience, more knowledge and ultimately can debate the issues for succinctly than anyone else. >> noel, what do you think of the current rise of the former speaker? >> well, i mean, you have to admit newt gingrich is the brainiak of the republican party. i attribute his bump in the polls due to his knowledge on history, on policy, on foreign affairs. you can't stump him to save your life. a lot o

now newt gingrich and mit romney are vying for the nomination. i think we will probably see it play out in poll with more and more voters will decide to put their votes elsewhere. >> and the run up to the primary back in 19892, former president clinton, who was then governor clinton, he had some illiquations against him and tapes. he survived. what's the difference? >> i this i the handling of it, for one. bill clinton handled it masterfully. he had a family that went out there and pushed back. and offers made a judgment that they knew what was out there and didn't care. herman cain has to hope for a similar dynamic and other miss steps along the way to chart a path back. >> and he also 4 the advantage of having ross perot join and be a third party candidate and president bush. >> splitting the race. >> a tough night for the cain family. >> never good when you have to go out there before the fact is say i know someone is about to say something terrible about me and it's not true. >> and the lawyers made a lawyer-like statement but not a political

you've got mit romney at 22, herman cain at 15.h is amazing, gingrich 32, romney 19, cain 13. that's pretty amazing leap for newt gingrich. your thoughts? >> national polls i tend to see as having more, you know, at the national poll i tend to accept more. i think newt has been showing slow and steady progress. and then as the air has gone out of cain's campaign, you know, his campaign, we are in newtmania right now. the iowa one is an outlier. this one shows a huge drop -- excuse me, a huge jump for newt. and i have talked to people in iowa that says it just doesn't feel right. we give every poll scientific precision but sometimes there are what we call out liars and i think they might have overstated the changes in iowa because it's so different from policy that are literally days old. >> but there are policy that also show him close to 20%. >> right. >> so let's say somewhere in the middle it's still a great showing. here's what it seems to be coming down to because we are getting close. iowa caucuses are january 23rd we aren't

i think mit romney has got a 59-point program that at least i don't understand and i don't think too many voters understand. bottom line, the best asset that the democrats and president obama have, and brad is exactly right, the president is in a position where he's almost unelectable, but the best asset is the republicans, discord, lack of a message. >> brad, how do they do a better job of communicating what their plans are, what their vision is? >> we are in a primary season. we have 8 republicans running. we have frontrunners that come and go and then we have the steadies like mit romney who has yet to break out of the 25%. i think you will see a honing down after iowa and new hampshire. it will get nitty-gritty and the polls will be defined and there will be a stark contrast between the republican nominee and this president. i guarantee, and i promise you that the differences between the republican candidate and the president will be like night and day. >> doug, on the economy, who do you think on the gop side is the strongest contender? >> mit romney has a record as a businessma

cain, 20%, newt gingrich 19%, mit romney -- i'm sorry, ron paul 19%, gingrich 17%.a pretty tight run. whoever wins or does well in iowa comes out with a lot of momentum. >> iowa is all about confirming or defying expectations. if romney comes out on top or second place he's probably fine. but he has gingrich, who has a huge bump. but you have to be careful because you can think back to 2008, my former boss came in fourth in iowa and ended up capturing the nomination. >> i think it goes to the diversity of the republican electorate. it's a thoughtful electorate at that point. we say do we want to be over here with paul or here with gingrich? these are varying view points in terms of these candidates and shows the diversity of thought. >> and you have romney, too. >> right. >> the one constant has been romney. many people have come up and down, and now newt gingrich, probably the timing couldn't be any better for him as he now has dramatically increased in the policy. do you think he is the biggest challenge to romney? >> this is the time to do it. if he doesn't do it
