jon: rick folbaum, thanks.na: back to new york city now, the future of the "occupy wall street" protests uncertain at this hour at least in the way we've seen it over last several weeks. a much smaller crowd is spending the night at zuccotti park in downtown manhattan. this after police cleared their camp yesterday, tearing down tents and arresting hundreds of people who said they simply would not leave. julie banderas is live in zuccotti park? new york city with more. julie, a difference compared to yesterday or are we seeing more of the same? >> reporter: oh, yeah, what a difference a day makes and a huge difference if you look around. i'm able to walk through here and not stumbling over tents because basically the court ordered sided with the city that the demonstrators had to adhere to park rules and no tents and sleeping bags allowed. umbrellas are allowed because it is raining today. people are not allowed to sleep on the floor. if they want to sleep they have to nod off sitting up. that is the rule. no s

rick folbaum has more on the political twitter frenzy. rick? >> reporter: everybody is doing it, jon. we have the polls. we have the money that each candidate is able to raise and maybe twitter is another way to gauge a candidate's power and popularity as they try to reach out and get in touch with voters all over the place. as you said, herman cain is actually leading the way, not necessarily in the number of followers that he has on twitter but in another way. he is above all other gop candidates in the field, more people are retweeting herman cain's tweets than anybody else. that means that people think enough of the messages that he is posting on twitter to spread it around, to help him spread it around. he has about, tweeted about 144 of his 600 tweets have been retweeted. the next most active twitter is former speaker newt gingrich taking advantage of a free platform to reach voters. gingrich tweeted 470 times to 1.3 million followers. no one in the field come close to the matching followers or output of president obama. the tweeter in ch

rick folbaum has more on this today. rick?er: jenna she certainly spends more time in front of judges than she does in front of movie cameras lately. she probably will be sent back to jail. she will know by next week. it will be standard protocol for the l.a. county jail if that happens. she is in trouble this time for violating her parole by not doing a community service stint at a women's shelter. in case you forgot how she got on probation in the first case, i'm not talking to you jon scott because i know you follow this story closely. she is on probation from theft and drunk driving. she is doing community service at l.a. county morgue. her probation officer said lohan didn't like the work she was required to do for the shelter. she failed to show up nine times. it was enough for the shelter to stop coming all together. she is facing 5th arrest since her first's in '07. she is chip off the old block. her father michael is in jail in tampa, florida, facing trial for handful of charges. lindsey's hearing is coming up soon, h
