. >> nicky haley recently said women care about jobs and families.ne of the things that allows them to better care for their families is the ability to have dignity and autonomy over their lives, so i think they care about both. >> let's not jump yet to the november race because there are still these pesky primary candidates challenging mitt romney. is there anything he can do to get them out. he is saying please you are making my life crazy, i can't be an etch-a-sketch candidate if you are there? >> he can beat santorum in pennsylvania by a large margin. i don't think anything can get newt gingrich out. the question is does he see the writing on the wall does he look at those polls and say i really don't want thaem bare raszment. >> rick santorum has drawn his line in the sand at pennsylvania even when he was losing the three states earlier this week. he was saying i can lose this state, but i'm going to win pennsylvania. if i win pennsylvania somehow that legitmized me. >> voters like to be with the winner. and they see the writing on the wall. the

. >> south carolina's governor nicky haley appeared on the o'reilly factor and gave her take on this.this is a president that is trying to create distractions. there is no war on women. women are doing well. but women are thoughtful. what we in the republican party and across the country republican, independent and democrat women say we are more thoughtful than a label we tear about jobs and the economy healthcare and education. we care about a lot of things. they call us victims. >> this all could be helping the president. new polls show he is doing much better among women than mitt romney. >> if romney clinches the nomination how will this play in the election? brit hume has thoughts. >> polls pluck wa fluctuate. i would like to see more polling over time about this. the other thing that happens are there really is etch a sketch or not kind of a reset that occurs at the end of the primary season and this one is certainly winding down now. people give candidates a fresh look. >> change at the drop of a hat. all of this talk about romney it is almost like he already is the nominee. we

i'll ask south carolina's governor nicky haley what romney has to do to fix that. also, new video surfacing of a government worker joking around about how much of your taxpayer money his agency is lavishly spending. we're talking about hundreds of taxpayer dollars wasted. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> the obama administration replies to a rare order from a federal appeals court. the latest round of a sharp dispute over the nation's health care reform law. we begin with president obama warning the supreme court against overturning his cherished legislation. judges hearing a separate case took offense at what the president of the united states said and they demanded a three-page written explanation. let's go straight to our congressional correspondent kate bolduan. she's working the story for us. today the attorney general of the united states complied with that demand. >> complied with that demand. i guess to use the sports metaphor the ball may still be in play on this one. i wouldn't call this a bombshe

. >> let's talk some girl power here and talk about nicki haley.man may not be a bad choice. >> she may not be a bad choice, but she was a candidate in south carolina, and she does not have a very trusting relationship. she's had some issue with saying that contraception doesn't matter to women. those kind of statements will come back to haunt her. if republicans aren't doing well with women voters today, how could you then go and choose a woman as your running mate who has those kinds of statements to say about contraception? >> i want to thank you for your candor last night. we did something different last week, we had a wonderful conversation, a wonderful no holds barred chill. if you missed the 10:00 news last night, you really missed a good one. >> it really sparked some interesting and deep conversations over the social networks today, and i hope it's a conversation that will continue. >> absolutely. thank you, goldie taylor. see you next week. >>> at first glance, you might think it's a movie poster, but look again. it's actually a threat to

. >> chris christy he said no, paul ryan said no, nicky haley said no, i am curious if there is a namet we haven't heard. >> marco rubio said no, rob fortman senator from ohio i don't think he said no. the folks saying no, if the nominee of the party, mitt romney comes to them a week before the convention and says i need you to put barack obama out of office all those noes will turn to yes. >> interesting court ship going on thanks for your time this morning. >> you bet thank you melanie. >> catch fox news sunday, 9:00 a.m. after our show. >>> now we want to go to tucker barnes, who is going to talk more about this crazy weather i feel like i am going to have to go find raincoats, rain boots and winter jackets now i thought i had safely put them away. >> we have been talking for months and months what happened to winter storms we typically have in early spring we finally got one, the timing is not great but we need the rain. it will be a cold and dreary day lots of rain expected particularly this afternoon a live look at your radar rain showers redeveloping we got some yesterday aftern

south carolina governor nicky haley tells us what he needs to do about that. and a plane crushes through the roof of a busy grocery store. somehow everybody survives. welcome to our viewers around the united states and around the world. wolf blitzer is off. you're in "the situation room." >>> the obama administration gives in and replies to a rare order from a federal judge. the latest round there a legal and political fight over the health care reform law. things escalated this week when president obama warned the supreme court against overturning himself cherished legislation. some appeals court judges took offense and demanded a written explanation. they got one. let's begin with cnn congressional correspondent kate baldwin. kate, the administration has answered this request. so where do things stand now? >> to use a sport metaphor, i'd say the ball may still be in play, joe. i wouldn't call this letter a bombshell but it's definitely another strange twist in this political battle that has no end in sight. three pages single spaced. that was the unusual ord

you had nicky haley making a similar complaint. people think that issues of contraception and controlling your reproductive health are not economic issues. the health care reform act absolutely seeks to make it more affordable for women to plan their families which allows them to participate in the work force. this is what mitt romney is planning and hoping. frankly, every time they've tried to reach out to women specifically it has been a huge disaster. so they're really hoping if they can make a pitch the economy in general is going to be the dispositive element, that will be what women will vote on. that is really the only way he can win. and he may be right. >> thank you for joining us. we'll see you soon. thank you. >> technology used in the war on terror could be flying over skies near you. the faa has been granting dozens of agencies permission to use unmanned drones and thanks to freedom of information act requests, we're learning which agencies can actually fly them. they include law enforcement, local governments and even

>> he needs to score with women so pick someone like nicky haley. >> chris christie.lot of people. >> judge jeanine: are you afraid that he is going to pick a woman, chris? >> picking your vice president is like picking your closer in fantasy baseball. sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't. i made many mistakes on both of nose my lifetime. >> judge jeanine: thanks for being with us. finally tonight. good news. a happy ending. a story we brought you just a few weeks guy. sergeant rex the military dog trained to find ie ds has been reunited with former marine corporal megan levi who had to leave the service after an explodion that almost took both of their lives. >> we got through it together, you know and recovered together after. so just glad that we are both here right now and this is able to happen. congratulatio ns to both. and thanks to all of you who wrote to the military to show your support. we did it. see what we can do together. that is it for us tonight. thanks for joining us. e-mail us your comments, >>> yes, we can. yes,ca

going out with nicki haley and hang out with susanna martinez, rob portman doesn't seem that exciting glasses without frames. but, yeah, i think you'll see this tango happen until he actually has to decide on a pick. >> you know, i want to go back to your book, nancy, because what's interesting is that we focus on the vice presidential selection so much for about a three-month period and it's so clear from reading your book, that vice presidents matter so little once you actually get to governing. >> except for the fact that a lot of them end up becoming presidents after becoming nominees, so in that sense the choice matters. but cheney reminds us the last few weeks how different the rules are, the same week that he's calling obama's presidency an unmitigated disaster, the president he served is very explicitly saying it undermines our country to be criticizing the president and i don't intend to. so, vice presidents play a very different role. >> yeah, but -- yes, she's absolutely right. it can be a road to the white house but actually only 14 former vps actually went on to become pr

. >> there are very strong women out there, you know, you've got governor martinez, you've got nicky haleye's got some choices of great women that he could pick but i think he's got a lot of great choices on the vp end. >> talking about suzanna martinez. let's look at the bold list. chris christies, bobby jindal, kelly ayotte herself. a lot of diversity on the list. what are the chances that mitt romney, who has run a conservative campaign, laid it out, flowed that route, he migh go bold. >> the next step, vetting stage, figuring out what they've done in the past. in they can fine someone who won't have the sarah palin problems, if they can find someone who can do well in debates, is pretty smart, also -- romney's got a gap among women voters, young voters. martinez can add to the gender gap to help him close that, that would be a great pick for romney. >> look at safe picks. again, names we've heard a lot. that would be tim pawlenty, senator rob portman, senator john thune, governor box mcdonald. who could help romney the most? >> mcdonald, you know, the governor of virginia, that's a swi

>>> greta garbo and nicki haley? we will get to the top of the bp short list. world peace, how long will he be suspended? the guy who wanted desperately to change his image. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. >>> new milestone in the trayvon martin case. this morning the man charged with his murder george zimmerman is out of jail. zimmerman's family posted bail and he walked out of bail after midnight. martin savidge is with us in sanford, florida. >> the statement that comes out from them reads like. the family is heavy hearted to watch the killer of their child released from child. they would rather he stay in jail until the criminal proceedings were concluded. however, it is the hope that his freedom is only temporary because the pain that he caused to their family is permanent. it's interesting, of course, that you have two families here and for one the zimmerman family, they are pleased to see their son and brother that is now out of jail but, of course, for trayvon martin's family, just as their statement xe exemplifies of pain they feel because they believ

. >> birth control gave us the opportunity to go for the things that nicki haley talks about. >> yeahrld. >> and become governor of a state for instance. >> exactly. on the way back interest planned parenthood last week we ran into a dozen of buses from the koch brother's freedom -- any way they all had their red shirts on, and it was the first time in my life i saw a lot of men in a demonstration since the vietnam war. and there -- these buses were full of men -- >> has anyone pointed out to men, that you know contraception allows you to have more sex. >> but that doesn't matter to men. because they have never been responsible for children. >> you cannot use the bible for saying that contraception is a sin. >> oh, you are going to tell the seed-spilling story again. >> no i'll spare you. but thousand shall not wear the -- >> have you told your new son jack about the speed spilling story again. >> a jimmy hat? i don't think i have ever used that term before. >> a jimmy hat for your john thomas. >> hi, barbara in los angeles. >> hey, stephanie. long time listener, first time caller. >>

nicky haley said no thanks last week, bobby jindual has left the door open but new mexico's governor and nevada's brian sednival have brushed off the idea. having said that if the commander in chief asks any of these people, it's understood, everything changes whether they say they're on the list or not. bill: you can call it you take it. tampa, the convention, end of august. when does he have to make a decision, or strategically there a -- is there a better time than others to make it? >> just before the convention, you want to get the biggest bang for the buck. there's a sequence to the way the campaign unfold sos we've got 4 1/2 months toerdz augustings then the final 2 1/2 months and what the opposing candidate wants to do is time it for maximum impact to set up for the debates, so lots of momentum after the convention and the new running mate. bill: thanks a lot, we'll have a lot going on between now and then. alisyn: by the way we asked governor huckabee about that this weekend on "fox & friends" and he didn't say no, he de mured. bill so he would fit along the line of if you s

who have to be considered, mitch daniels of indiana, says he's not interested in national office, nicky haleyf south carolina, doesn't want the job, said last week, bobby jindual has left the door open and susan martinez, of mexico, and brian sandoval have said no. but the truth is if the nominee says i'd like you, everything changes for all these people. jon: that often happens in politics, a lot of people who say no, end up getting the job. >> the great mentioner, and for the principal cry cry tear for any nominee is who can do the job and romney is just beginning that process but he's got to hustle because 20 weeks is a short time, it has to be unveiled before the convention. it is the most con very -- consequential decision of any candidate. >> you've got to be careful with choosing who's going to run the prosocial security because as you know, dick cheney ran the process for george bush, then became the vp nominee. jon: i remember that well. you know, it's, again, 20 weeks, carl, as you point out. doesn't sound like a whole lot of time to put this kind of a thing together. >> vetting can

governor nicky haley saying women are fine, there's not a problem.as his lead chair in maryland saying once we get to the general election, the real romney will come out. that goes back to that trust issue. women can see through that b.s. >> the republicans don't have a policy problem. they have a pr problem. for some reason, they fail to take their message to female voters. barack obama will hold seminars and speak directly to women and women are less feeling like they -- he did it last week. let mitt romney go out and talk to these women. women are pocketbook issue voters, they care about gas prices, they're the ones who get in their cars, drive kids all over the place, basketball practice, they know what the costs are. those are the ones unemployed. mitt romney, what he said, under obama the number of unemployed women has increased 558,000. talk to women, explain the polices. explain omabacare. martha: you say they should talk more to women's groups. in some ways i'm offended at women's conferences and things like that because i don't think that w
