newt gingrich before. i'm going to predict a newt gingrich boomlet. i think newt gingrich will be a beneficiary of herman cain's scandal. >> you don't really see the president of harvard lobbying in washington, pounding the pavement. she was here the other day with other university presidents who are extremely worried about teaching hospitals and that there's no super committee deal, healthcare research and especially the post graduate training of doctors in university hospitals is going to be absolutely decimated. university hospitals around the country are frightened about how to survive. chris: when we return, our big question this week. 75% of americans in their 20's think this country is not the greatest country. is that pessimism? chris: a pugh research poll asked americans if this is still the world's greatest country. 75% of our kids, college aged ones and those under 30, do not think so. they say this is one of several great countries which brings us to our big question this week. is that passimism or realism? >> china has money. that's what p

it's not going to be newt gingrich, though the gingrich campaign is psyched for the gingrich boomlet stories they're seeding throughout the beltway media these days. the problem is even though they turning out to be good at spinning stuff, they haven't been able to figure out how to capitalize on their own spin. newt gingrich after the newt boomlet stories all weekend, his big campaign event today was in norway, where he gave a video address. obviously not going for a lot of votes in norway, but he's still probably trying to raise money there. actually i don't know. today the other thing we got from newt gingrich's campaign was a notice that people who did want to donate to the campaign, they should be patient because the gingrich campaign has been unable to accept visa cards. even when they are trying, they are not connecting. that, of course, though, leaves herman cain. apparently, no, it's not going to be herman cain either. although mr. cain has had high and relatively sustained poll numbers. the suspicion that his candidacy would wilt under the spotlight brought on by front-runn

i'm expecting a boomlet for newt gingrich next and possibly santorum as well.day. >> and in new hampshire, is jon huntsman at all viable as a real challenger to mitt romney? >> well, you know, it's just hard to see any evidence yet that he is making a really strong play in new hampshire. he is trying to make a strong play. he's putting all his marbles there. you see him creeping up in some of the polls. but it's really hard especially against someone like mitt romney who has invested so much time and money and effort in that state. people up there joke he could be the third senator from new hampshire. he's well known. he's well liked. he's put a ton of time and money in there. so i think, really, at this point, given what we're seeing for jon huntsman it would have to be a gamble that he makes and a gamble that he wins. >> nick, thank you very much for joining us with your reporting on the romney campaign. >>> up next, is iran on the verge of a nuclear breakout? y? the atlantic's jeffrey goldberg next.

does that go to newt gingrich who had a boomlet there? does it go to rick perry? waiting game thus far. >> on everything. >> wait to see if they see that statement from his own client. >> it is moving in a direction. i think we will get something. >> i know you will get it, gloria boernlg. thank you so much for popping become on the show once again today. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. >>> meantime, we had some pretty incredible pictures i want to pass to you, across the country, seen the illinois imagines from the occupy wall street protests. one of the driving forces behind the protest, the lack of jobs in this country. >> it's so hard to find a job. >> a job that actually pays, not even possible. >> i think people just don't have much of a future to look forward to. >> oh, boy. well, guess what, it is even worse if you're young in this country. we are going to dig a little deeper into what what poppy harlow is calling the unemployable generation. that's next. sun life financialrating should be famous.d bad, we're working on it. so you're seriously proposin

newt gingrich gaining popularity, big time. we are seeing potentially some of his weaknesses. >> right. republicans started dating newt gingrich a little bit. he is a having a bit after boomletcan debates. so we ask people whether newt gingrich has the personal qualities a president should have. republicans say 74%. all-americans, 45%. the 45% number is the number that's troubling wolf because it speaks to the question of whether newt gingrich would be a good general election candidate and that would pose a potential problem. also, when you get in that top tier, as you know, wolf, people start going back into your background. his own personal values. how we behave during the clinton impeachment. hundreds of thol thousands of dollars worth of charges of tiffanys. now that he is in the top tier he will get an awful lot more scrutiny. >> gloria, hold on. i will get back to you shortly. we are getting new information on herman cain right now as well. stand by for a few moments. we will get that ready for viewers. in the meantime we will go to the supreme court where president obama has sweeping legislation in jeopardy. the court determined whether or not the law is constitutiona

boomlet's and fall by the wayside. he may have a problem with newt gingrich who is rock solid conservative and may give him a run for the in terms of nomination at this point. he will have a real issue if he doesn't at some point reach out to the right. he is a technocrat. doesn't seem like a people person. doesn't give you warm fuzzies. don't reach out over the transome and grab you like some candidates which is why he hasn't resonated so much. martha: interesting to look at the tea party and their influence in all this, gentlemen? you wonder some ways where they have gone. "occupy wall street" going on. where are the protests from the tea party? where are they saying in strength after the debates or a after super-committee hearings, we want to cut in the debt in the country? you wonder some of the candidates they backed seem to be exploding all over the place for lack of a better term,, tucker. >> the explanation is broader. leadless movements don't he endure they can't. this is basically lead eless movement. the biggest effect the tea party destroyed the republican establishment. all people republicans and conserve i
