mr. herman's name to it. a lot of people do not know that even though he really spent most of his lifetime trying to bring cargo ships to san francisco bay area and throughout the west coast, the last years of his life he actually focused on cruise ships. because he understood the transition and the changes that were occurring at this port. and that, although containerships would not necessarily come here because of the impediment of the railroad, that indeed, we could be a cruise niche, and he spent a lot of time even advocating for changes to the passenger services act, federal legislation that to this day impedes this port from maximizing on cruise opportunities. so i am certainly thankful for this moment and this opportunity, and as a final comment, i would add that we certainly hope that this cruise terminal truly reflect jimmy herman's spirit and his passion, which was to make sure that the maritime facilities provided jobs for his dear union, the ilwu, and that we do not take shortcuts are cut costs or

mr. herman cain is back in the picture? >> reporter: that's right. the herman cain train has arrived here in florida and he's here for newt gingrich. in florida a big vote of confidence for newt gingrich. >> i hereby officially and enthusiastically endorse newt gingrich for president of the united states. >> what's up, buddy? >> reporter: just last week herman cain was in south carolina with stephen colbert with an entire different endorsement. >> i endorse the people. >> reporter: now he's all-in for newt gingrich. >> i'm here for the people we're going to elect speaker newt gingrich as the next president of the united states. >> reporter: even before the cain endorsement, gingrich said his campaign will continue no matter what happened in south carolina. >> reporter: the painting in panama city, mitt romney escalated his attacks on newt gingrich. >> he was fined for ethics violations. he had to resign in disgrace. >> reporter: in an one of a kind ad, the romney campaign attacked gingrich using nothing but an nbc news report. >> they found him guilt

mr. herman, i know you often feel i don't give you enough time.oy want to begin with you tonight, sir. and ask you. this country is in trouble. we've got to slash spending, go to deficits. we've got to grow the economy. why isn't the president -- why isn't the whole congress -- republicans aren't clean on this, doing more, talking more, coming up with more plans on the main issue of our time, near-bankruptcy of the u.s.? >> well, i think the congress, the people of this country are dedicated to trying to create jobs in the economy, boost the economy. the problem is there is no general agreement as to what should be done. you're talking about the deficit, and yet you're not talking about revenue. we need revenue along with dealing with entitlements and spending. i think the president gave an excellent state of the union address, and he may not have mentioned the word deficit until the 25th minute, but he was talking about the economy for virtually the entire speech. >> well, senator coburn, i don't think much of the economy either. i don't think th

mr. herman cain. all right. we all laugh. >> hello. >> hello.oth going to try not to get into trouble here, but we're going to have a very good conversation. colbert, he makes his living off of making fun of people, all right? >> yes. >> are you worried that he's using you as a punch line? hey, are you using him for his audience? you know he's got it. >> it's a mutual use because he reaches the youth vote, which i happen to believe is going to be very critical to winning the election in november. so one of the things that i'm focusing on is helping to keep the youth vote inspired. you have to go where they are. they are watching colbert. they are watching john stewart. i'm going to go to college campuses. that's going to be one of the things that i'm going to do. i want to keep the youth vote. i want to keep some of the disgruntled democrats. i want to keep some of the republicans and conservatives that might be losing interest because of all of the negativity. we've got to keep them inspired. colbert represents an outreach to the youth vote, an

mr. romney. >> reporter: herman cain endorses gingrich.ut told nbc this morning, he could switch. >> yes, i could be very comfortable with mitt romney. i'm committed. whoever gets the nomination. >> reporter: 50 gdelegates at stake and millions deciding who should get them. early vote total is in, it's 20% over what we saw here in florida's primary four years ago. but when you add that with the people who are coming out to vote today, there are some predictions here that the total could be a bit less. >> i know you alluded to this in your story, if gingrich loses, does this mean it's over for him? >> reporter: not necessarily. i mean in terms of delegates, it would put mitt romney far ahead and push him closer to super tuesday, much closer to the nom nation, gingrich is hoping to competitive in the caucus states. some states are going to be tough for him, michigan, nevada. he's going to try to remain competitive in those states though gingrich camp admits they are not tops on his agenda. >> tracie potts live for us in tampa, thank you. >>>

but let's go to herman cain joining us on the phone. mr. cain, you are endorsing newt gingrich. tell us why you made that choice. >> i'm endorsing newt gingrich tonight for several reasons, but the two biggest reasons is, number one, he and i talked about him being open to 9-9-9, which you know i happen to believe is a critical solution that we need to embrace. and as a result of that, he has asked me to co-chair his economic growth and jobs advisory council. the second reason i'm endorsing him is when you look at replacing the tax code, energy independence, regulatory reform, sound money, all of the things that i've talked about, he and i are 100% in lock step in terms of what we need to do. so when you find a candidate that basically is running on the ideas and the ideologies that i was running on, along with him embracing 9-9-9, then it was a no-brainer and i thought that the timing was right. >> listen, i have to ask you this, i red the polls just before we got to you and newt gingrich is behind, is trailing romney now by some eight points and in some polls even further. it
