it shows rick perry is the national front-runner. a couple of caveats, the nomination isn't decided on a national poll, it's decided on who wins the contests in iowa and new hampshire, so that's important to take into consideration. of course, rudy giuliani, remember, was the national front-runner -- >> you read my mind. >> -- around this point. >> and hillary clinton, by the way, was the national front-runner far later into the fall in 2007 and we know how that turned out. >> maybe if i'm mitt romney i'm feeling pretty good that you aren't the national front-runner just right now, but what it does do it forces mitt romney to almost abandon the nominee-in-waiting strategy he's had where he's campaigning more against barack obama than he has been about all the other republican presidentials who are in the field right now. >> he really has to your point, mitt romney, people have tried to engage him, republicans, he's avoided it. we've talked about how long he can keep avoiding it. someone asked him yesterday, at a bunch of town halls i

paul and national front-runner mitt romney did not hold events today. bachmann and perry will both speak at the same republican dinner tonight. bachmann told david gregory, she welcomes the competition. >> he'll run his campaign. we'll run ours. but we really look forward to that and what i'm really looking forward to more than anything is taking on barack obama as a republican nominee. >> reporter: all the other campaigns are now anxious to get tim pawlenty's donors, supporters, volunteers and even staff. there'll be a must-do tradition tomorrow right here at the iowa state fair, lester, when governor rick perry gets his first stais of this place as a candidate. >> kelly, thank you. president barack obama will also roll through iowa. he's about to begin a three-day tour by bus of three midwestern states, iowa, illinois and minnesota. this trip comes as his approval rating dropped below 40% today in a gallup tracking poll. >> reporter: the president gearing up for a three-day campaignlike bus tour through key swing states in the midwest. the focus, jobs

not national front-runner mitt romney, who is not really competing here. and who last night focused on president obama. >> i'm not going to eat barack obama's dog food. >> reporter: for some others, , the hawk eye state is do or die. needing a strong showing here tomorrow, congresswoman michele bachmann and coverager governor tim pawlenty. those two showed last night there is no love lost between them. >> an undisputable fact that in congress, her record of accomplishment and results is nonexistent. >> governor, when you were governor in minnesota, you said the era of small government is over. that sounds more like barack obama, if you ask me. >> reporter: how do you make the decision about when to be aggressive and when not? it's a risk. >> people want to see direct answers and clear answers. i suppose there's a risk. the poinin i made last night were basic fact. >> reporter: the straw poll is a fund-raiser for the republican party here. 14,000 voted four years ago. about the same number are expected this time. candidates buy $30 tickets for supporters to

system the law could see the formation of political groups opposed to the ruling baath party's national front protesters demand an end to brutal crackdowns before they'll enter a dialogue now assad's gesture came after the u.n. security council condemned his regime's violence against the opposition and called for internal political dialogue to end the bloodshed local reports say the military is attacking the protesters stronghold of hamas activists say dozens have died there in the last twenty four hours adding to over one hundred killed since the attack and france announced it may seek further action from the security council if the killing continues however such threats are counterproductive to any real change according to. president of the arab lawyers association. directly it is just not the legislation itself it's how it's going to be implemented and the restrictions included in that there are quite a lot of restrictions which makes it probably very difficult to implement i think the pressure of international pressure on syria is producing some result what is lacking is the action on the

nots are the ones who rose up and from benghazi moved west it is they who have been ruling this national front this national transitional council they just and this is now the things have been well reported they had a purge about a week ago because they had too many people from the tribes in the east so there's really no cohesiveness within the m.t.c. at this point so this is the worst possible to not have a coherent team ready to take charge we do not have a government in waiting and that's why the situation i believe is more you know potentially violent now than it was you know look we said we're really surprised about parent right i mean that's the entire and that's what how it is when you get yourself involved in a civil conflict where there are a lot of you know tribal differences here it's obviously not going to be black and white you can't possibly expect to start supporting or recognizing one you know rebel group called the trans national or excuse me the transitional national council and expect it to represent all of it i was on the air with ambassador all utilities good defected to b

. >> well, he is, and it is more evident that he is the national republican front-runner, as you and i have discussed in the front that being the national front-runner the summer before the early nominating contests is not the best place to be, but there is a shake-up in the race, and as we get ready for the debate that nbc news and msnbc will be having next week, rick perry will be the front-runner and in the spotlight there, tamron. >> but looking at the numbers, michele bachmann at 9%, and is she being iced out? i have been heard that michele bachmann is boring, and that is what the writer categorized it and she is being upstaged by rick perry at this point. >> well, she has been upstaged and it is ironic, because the day after she won the ames straw poll in iowa the conversation shifted to rick perry and to some degree to mitt romney where it became a two-person race even after she had won that contest that she got a lot of praise for winning and actually winning it when there were high stakes for her. she is still a player her. you could make the argument she is still at least t

you think that it was positive that some of these conversations started to come out onto the national front in terms of how much we're actually spending how much how deeply we are actually in debt. or do you think it was you know a lot of people are calling this political theater whether just. well i said it was political theater i see it is an assault of the social safety net. by the republicans who believe that. social safety net is the source of the moral degeneration as well as economic degeneration and they want to get it under control. but on the whole i don't think the united states any good to. go right down to the why are threatening default when the dollar is the reserve currency and. central bank reserves are in balance is just not a sensible thing to do it's my wondering you know a lot of people are keeping their eyes really closely on wall street during this whole process the last few weeks of the back and forth and the threats and wall street didn't seem to react very dramatically have seen kind of like investors knew all along that everything was going to be fine do you think

national front runner mitt romney felt the heat before he got on the debate stage.adgered by a democrat group. iowa citizens for improvement on entitlement. >> hold on a second. hold on a second. heckling and then romney forceful >> are you ready for my answer. i am not going to raise taxes. that's my answer . if you want member who can raise tax accident, vote for barack obama. >> michelle bachmann is expected to face tough criticism but all smiles before hand. >> we are excited about the debate. it is a great night and we are glad to be here. >> tonight is john huntsman debut and he's not competed at all in iowa. >> you have an audience and more outside of iowa including three important primary states. >> and tim pawlenty stalled in the national polls and he has his opponents right where he wants them. >> is it frustrating that they say you are not charismatic. >> i like being the underdog in the races. >> herman cain's performance has fallen far back and hopes he will be lifted to the forefront. >> we have gone from a campaign to run . skipped over walk and we ar

and as soon as the national islamic front came to power it began an intensive military campaign to arabize and muslimize the national african people of the blue nile, the nuba mountain region of southern kordofan state and more recently in darfur. during the 1990's up until the peace agreement was signed in navasha in 2005, more than 2,000 sudanese people, most of whom were christian or others were slaughtered. but in the nuba mountains in the 1980's and the 1990's roughly half the population, an estimated more than 500,000 people were slaughtered in a similar genocide. and all of us i think are aware of the genocide that took place in darfur beginning in 2003 that claimed an estimated 400,000 lives. the primary resistance of the national islamic front during the last war came from the sudanese people liberation movement that was led by dr.. dr. john was a christian from south sudan but he desired freedom and self-determination for all of the sudanese people. and his vision was called the new sudan. after more than 20 years of fighting, the splm fought the national islamic front to a stand

three percent is a small number for somebody who is a national front runner. >> karen pawlenty said he moved up to third, but the bottom line for all of the organization and time he put here, this is disappointing. >> the bord collapse is not too strong to apply to where he stands out. it opens a huge opportunity for rick perry and a larger lesson to take away from this. this year in this state, passion trumps organization. >> chris? look bachmann won and winning is better and that's the most important thing. i will say this my substraction skills remain. bachmann beat paul by 152 votes. she's been on tv and all over the place since we got here and i am sure she got less for the money than ron paul did. i suspected he spent less per voters. she won and a viable candidate and a player and paul is an enormous grass root candidate. pawlenty is mortally wounded and i disagree about this. i don't think mitt rom no is not scared of this. he will worry about bachmann and perry. but romney was not rt by today. >> obviously the story of congresswoman bachmann and kay henderson talked to folks w

>> there is, and there is an argument to be made he is the new national front-runner, but it is important that it is a national poll, and a lot of the battle will be fought in iowa and new hampshire and south carolina for that nomination, and in august, sometimes being the front-runner does not work out well, ask hillary clinton, and romney, and giuliani and even joe lieberman. but the significant thing it does is to knock mitt romney's strategy of acting like he is the nominee in waiting and focusing all of the attention on the economy and president obama eventually, he has to duke it out with rick perry, and this is going to force a campaign strategy change at least right now for mitt romney campaign. >> and it seems that mitt romney's campaign has been asked that question if they change their strategy, and he joked and said if i change my jacket, people say i'm changing my strategy. and we talked about that and the polls have shown that republicans were not quite satisfied with the people in front of them, and this left an opening for someone in this person who happens to be the govern

. >> for his part, national front runner mitt romney tried to stay above the fray focussing his attacks on president obama. >> look, i'm not going to eat barack obama's dog food. what he served up is not what i would have done had i been president of the united states. >> romney's biggest challenge could be texas governor rick perry. his advisors confirmed just hours before the debate that perry will officially enter the presidential race tomorrow. while republicans squared off in iowa president obama tried to tap into voter frustration over the debt downgrade by taking a big swing at congress. >> there's some in congress right now who would rather see their opponents lose than see america win. >> and wall street roaring back. strong retail sales today drives stocks higher. giving hope to investors still suffering whiplash from this week's record setting gains and losses. >>> good day, i'm andrea mitchell live in des moines, iowa, back at java joes. tim pawlenty kicked off at a political breakfast and continued to raise questions about michele bachmann's qualifications to be president.

but for the sake of others, 1989 through a coup d'État of the national islamic front came to power insudan and its leadership consisted of islamic extremists. many of them are were founding members of al qaeda and they were earth by the muslim brotherhood. they were identified by our government as terrorists or supporters of international terrorism and as soon as the national islamic front came to power it again and intensive military campaign to arab eyes and islamize indigenous african populations in southern sudan, the nile and the nuba mountain region of the southern kordofan state and more recently in darfur. during the 1990s up until the peace agreement was signed in 2005, more than 2 million southern sudanese people, most of them were christian or animist were slaughtered but in the nuba mountains in the 80's, and the '90s roughly half the population and estimated more than 500,000 people were slaughtered in a similar genocide. all of us i think are aware of the genocide that took place and are for beginning in 2003 that claimed an estimated 400,000 lives. the primary resistanc

this weekend does look like a rocket ship and takes off immediately and he looks like he's a national frontr fairly quickly and chief challenger to mitt romney, i wouldn't be surprised if you saw her continue to say nice things. i think that's what she's laying back for. if perry doesn't catch fire and if this thing is fred thompson where the best day is the first day and suddenly everything starts to fall apart, then she only has a couple more weeks frankly to think about this. then i think that's what she's laying back for. >> okay. chuck todd, i'm glad we have you more this morning before you buckle down and get your own show ready. we'll see you in a bit. thank you. >>> speaking of that special, we invite to you watch a special edition of "the daily rundown" live from ames tonight as part of msnbc's all-day coverage of the ames straw poll. chuck will host the coverage from 6:00 to 8:00 eastern here on msnbc and tomorrow morning michele bachmann will be on "meet the press." check your local listings for that which gop candidate or candidates will call it quits after the iowa straw poll?

governor romney trying to protect his national front run are status. just governor huntsman essentially trying to get into the top tier of the pact. eric, to you first on that one. he said, i'm for civil unions, that's my opinion, and others can disagree with me. but he also was pretty firm ohey, i cut taxes, you created jobs as utah governor, how did he do it in his first introduction? >> you know it wasn't as bad as i thought he might have done. although, i think the long run headline tonight for jon huntsman is they asked him, where's your economic plan? it's not on your website. the first things out of his mouth is, it's coming. all other candidates have an economic plan. jon huntsman's been it in for a while. i think the sound bite that comes back and haunts him. >> alex, governor huntsman do anything to shake it up? he's been in a the race now for a few months and a long way to go but he's sort of been stagnant. >> he's -- i think he restrained his charisma a little bit tonight but you know, tonight we saw the field mature a little bit. we looked

the governor rom neerk the former governor of massachusetts is perceived as the national front-runner rights now. everybody knows that the economy is issue number one and as the candidates press their case and press their case against the incumbent, president obama, governor romney said this -- >> i understand how the economy works. herman cain and i are on the stage here who have worked in the real economy. someone who spent their entire career in government, they can chose a lot of folks. but if they want to choose somebody who understands houtprivate sector works, they're going to have to choose one of us because we've been in it during our career. >> governor romney understand the private sector and the economy better than governor huntsman? >> well, all you have to do is look at the record, jon. in massachusetts you had a lot of people leave that state because of the economic circumstances and state that was 47th in terms of job creation. our state was number one. you had a state that basically visit onned a mandated escalate and quality drop. in our state, we basically relied on

but this time there's the new factor, rick perry and national republican front-runner mitt romney who four years ago won this contest figuring this time they are better off not contesting the iowa straw poll. from ames, iowa, steve handelsman, nbc bay area news. diane, back to you. >>> and just for a little bit of perspective since its founding, the winner of the ames straw poll has gone on to win the republican presidential nomination two of the five times. >>> police in pakistan are searching for a 60-year-old american man who was kidnapped out of his home in eastern pakistan early this morning. and nbc's jay gray has the latest on that. >> reporter: the state department now confirms the kidnapped american is warren weinstein. reports indicate he's been working for several years in pakistan as the country director for development contractor j.e. austin associates. according to the company's website, he holds a ph.d. in economics, is fluent in six languages and worked in the field of international development for 25 years. pakistani police say the attack was carried out by as many as

given the fact he is the national front runner, he ought to do decently. >> we're talking to jonathan martin of politico. let me ask you about debbie wasserman schultz, chair of the democratic national committee. she spoke yesterday and had a meeting this morning with reporters. there is a story on your website. what are the democrats doing to try to offset the message from the gop today? >> they are having some fun. debbie wasserman schultz and david axelrod have been here. they're pushing their message. some of theting out vulnerabilities of the various gop candidates. they are having a really fun time with romney's comment that corporations are people too. the democrats are obviously being opportunistic here and try to get in on some of the action, but as they know, it is very difficult. they could get a sidebar story, but the main event is obviously the gop race and the straw poll. >> tamara -- tomorrow, michele bachmann is making an appearance on all five sunday morning programs. the last person to do that was ginsburg during the monica lewinsky scandal in 1998. >> if she does no

we have the national front -- you know, nasty -- we've got a particularly nasty group called combat 18, who are neo-nazis, based on aryan nations. but not so much. i think that the -- that the pressure cooker in great britain is slightly less ready to blow than it -- than it seemed to me to be in the united states, for some reason. c-span: of all the things you saw in the writing of this book, what was the -- what was the funniest, the lightest? >> guest: it's kind of -- a lot of it's funny, but not much of it's light. i mean, i did love the moment when alex jones was practicing how to be preppy, so he could infiltrate the secret place where henry kissinger was rumored to, you know, attend a berobed owl-burning ceremony. that -- that's when he was -- back in "the perfect storm," you know, where all the way -- all the weather combines to make this big wave. that was, like, the perfect, absurd moment to me. i also loved my time with the klan because -- i -- you know, i was jewish in the middle of the ozark mountains. i kind of figured i was the only jew within hundreds of miles. but i ce

on the national security front it wouldn't have been that different.nk he she would have made the call to kill osama bin laden. but what this exposes something that a lot of the media and left likes to describe as a true rift between establishment republicans and the new tea party folks, there is also one in the democratic party in terms was establishment. the clinon, and establishment and biggest complaint about the left is not that he can't move to the right or center. he wasn't liberal enough . do i think she would have been more liberal than president obama, no. >> monica was it a trial balloon? >> i am so glad asked that question. june of 2009, i wrote a colume for the washington times saying that hillary clinton may challenge barack obama in a democratic primary. it seeps perposterous and she doesn't want to alienate the black vote and create a civil war. when you see these kines of stories, what are they seeking to accomplish and who benefits. it seems to me it could and far fetched and probably is. it could be a trial balloon in the black commu

he's nationally, the front runner.ber of different states. he was the best candidates in a number of different states. kind of wanted to remind folks that he has a business sense, a business background, and jobs, which is the marquee issue. a lot of different takes on last night's debate, but a heck of a lot of fireworks. back to you in new york. >> steve: no kidding. steve brown, we just had frank luntz on and he said mitt and newt both were the winners last night. peter johnson, jr. is going to be joining us in about 90 seconds to tell us what his view is of the big fight last night right here live from the curvy couch. >> gretchen: markets in europe reacting to yesterday's 420 point surge on wall street. markets are up. london up 1.3%. frankfort up 2.1%. paris up 1.7%. in asia, stocks not fairing as well, though. japan's nikkei fell 2%. hong kong down. south korea down. stock futures are point to go a slow start when the opening bell rings on wall street. >>> british police will be out in force hoping weekend drinki

as soon as the national islamic front came to power, it began an intensive -- in southern sudan, the blue nile and the nuba mountains region of southern kordofan state and more recently in darfur. during the 1980's up until the -- 1990's, up until the peace agreement was inside in 2005, people, most of whom were christian, were slaughtered. but in the nuba mountain the 1980's and 1990's, roughly half the population, an estimated 500,000 people were slaughtered in a similar genocide and all of us, i think, are aware of the genocide that took place in darfur in 2003 that claimed an estimated 400,000 lyes. the primary resistance came from the splm led by its charismatic leader. dr. john was a christian from south sudan but he desired freedom for all the sudanese people and his vision was called the new sudan. after more than 20 years of fight, they fought the national islamic front to a standstill and with the help of international pressure, much of it led by the united states, they were forced to negotiators. and all of that was consummated in january of 2005 with the comprehensive pea
