it's like senatorial plus religious, and that's not where reagan lived. >> stephen: let's talk about guy who two weeks, three weeks ago looked like the guy who had this thing sown up, newt gingrich. >> yeah. >> stephen: okay. he really seems like his number-one goal is to stick a sharpened screwdriver into mitt romney's lung. >> yeah. the teddy bear is angry. and there is... >> stephen: the claws are out. >> there is nothing in politics more frightening than a vindictive teddy bear. >> stephen: i don't know if it's true, but some people said he was running to basically get his brand out there again, get his speaking fees back up, get another book out there again, and he's got that. he doesn't have to do anything more, right? so now he can just focus himself and he can just turn himself into a human weapon. he can just march up to the romney campaign in new hampshire and go,... he does not care what happens to him. >> a weird thing happens. a lot go into it think i'll go on a book tour, herman cain was like this, too. i'll sell some books and get a talk show on fox. they become a fron

so impressive that a democratic president named bill clinton accepted the recommendations of the senatorial representatives from california and marino became a district judge of the district court in california, approved unanimously by the u.s. senate on an appointment from bill clinton. just think about that, republican, wilson republican, clinton a democrat. it didn't take gray davis long to recognize that he, too, wanted to get in on appointing marino to something. and he appointed marino as an associate justice of our court. i think maybe the third in the history of the state of california and hispanic in that category. he has since completed his task in that regard, but in the process, he has made friends everywhere, friends under every circumstances. so tonight, admission high school in the mission, part of the city that traditionally carries the hispanic label, he is about to administer the oath of office as a hispanic jurist to a cuban likewise with the hispanic flavor to it, all part of what goes.

november president obama and whoever the republican rival is and you know of course also a slew of senatorial and congressional candidates now a lot of people feel that inequality is a huge problem but talk to me i mean about realistic goals for now for this year. well i mean they occupy movement was an aura not a real ism it was born out of necessity and i went to the people that want to see real effort to change. who i mean it realistic change is what obama gave you for three years. i think that the idea of elections and it's a false choice between republican and democrat just like it's a false choice between what what the right and left have come to mean in our country and this is not you know this is not to say that there are not choices to be made but it's also shedding light on what this movement is this moment in a way in a broad sense it's about justice economic and social justice the way it works is that we're in solidarity with a lot of the existing movements that includes organized labor that includes the undocumented that it workers that includes those workers who are not organize

stronger without this constant assault from newt gringrich, and let's not forget there are senate senatorial races and they are saying we do not want the internal bickering between now and august. we got to consolidate a base where it would determine who will control the united states senate. >> newt gringrich radiates out that is disastrous for the republican party. that's why us democrats are saying give him another $10 million. from the republican establishment, karl rove, rush limbaugh thee guys are saying enough is enough. this is an act of self indulgence enormous, and an act of complete self-centered mancal behavior by newt gringrich. >> you're going to be here tomorrow night with me and we'll enjoy the "countdown" from the florida primary when we look ahead, when you look at february there are six races. nevada, colorado minnesota maine, arizona and michigan. mitt romney won five out of six of those in 2008. so it looks like-- >> well, look, i presume so, and let's face it, newt gringrich if he had an appeal maybe past tense given all the back and forth, it was going to be south caro

to get anybody from the senatorial committee? -- do we have anybody from the senatorial committee? >> and they were invited. >> you know, this is a discussion that the institutions of the republican party that they need to be involved with. how many people do we have from the strategic table for the presidential campaign? i am at the strategic table for one of them, but i think we need a tim scott or an allen -- you do not have to be in the same camp that i am in. but somebody who looks like us needs to be at the strategic table to say, i know what you are trying to say, but i would not say it like that. [applause] again, perception is reality. i do not care if it is with christians, with jews, if it is in church, your organization, my business. if my clients and my customers feel like i do not care about your needs, they will go somewhere else to buy a tractor. we cannot ignore this issue surrounding perception. what tim scott and allen west -- i had to defend them in saying, look. you do not know these guys. give them 15 minutes with you and give the other side 15 minutes with yo

at point, eric, to tell people who i believe they should vote for, it has been easy for me with senatorial candidates and house of representatives candidates and gubernatorial candidates but this go around, this is tough. still, with the strengths of all of them, and, obviously, because man is infallible, everyone has their weakness with the strength of each candidate, wouldn't you love to be able to combine them and find that one perfect person, and go out there boldly and tell people you need to vote for this person and that is how america will recover? i'm not there yet in mining that perfect person. >>eric: a lot of people say maybe this is someone who can combine the best parts and i might be talking to her right now. governor, let's talk 48 hours from now after the iowa caucuses the results come in one, two, three, will we see a few drop out, maybe if they are not leaders right now? anyone else, if they don't end up in the top three or four will they drop and >>guest: well, why think rick perry is going do drop out because he still has money. and money, of course, buys attention. and

layoffs at ampda helped senator ted kennedy squash mitt romney's 1994 senatorial campaign.ere's a 1994 anti-romney ad featuring workers who lost their job after romney's firm bought their company. >> he's cut our wages to put money back into his pocket. >> you're not creating jobs. you're taking them away from us to put money in your pocket. >> he just wants to take money out of your pocket and put it in his. >> right. >> i'd like to say to the people of massachusetts, if you think it can't happen to you, think again. >> joining me now is randy johnson who lost his job at ampad plant in indiana after bain capital bought the company. he was flown into iowa this week by the democratic national committee. thanks for joining me tonight, randy. >> glad to be here. >> i remember that 1994 senate campaign in massachusetts that romney was doing very well until ted kennedy started concentrating on what he had actually done as an investment banker and the way people lost their jobs, not just the number of jobs, but the actual style of it. could you tell your story about how you lost

. >>> the republican senatorial field just got a little more crowded in virginia.rince william county state delegate bob marshall announced he is running for the seat being vacate by retiring senator jim webb. marshall will compete against at least four other republicans that include former governor and former senator george allen. marshall narrowly lost the nomination in 2008. >>> president barack obama and the first lady, michelle obama, attended the let freedom ring concert at the kennedy center on martin luther king, jr. day, yesterday. free show featured bobby mcferrin and the let freedom ring celebration choir. >>> others paid tribute to the civil rights icon by attending the martin luther king, jr. day parade in the district. this was the first one held in eight years actually relative of the original organizers helped bring it back. karen gray houston has the highlights from it. >> reporter: it was a parade of high-stepping local bands. they strutted down martin luther king avenue in southeast to south capital street to leckey elementary in southwest. there

and the questioner asks what would be the implications of a ppp victory in the senatorial election? and i think the real question that we ought to be answering as well is what do these senate elections mane? mean? so would any of my colleague on the panel like to tackle that one? go ahead, lisa. >> yeah. i think the implication is that the if ppp does very well in the senate elections, then that will help them in the general elections that are scheduled for next year, a year from now. um, but, you know, i think, again, it comes up to the timing. i think somebody had asked about the timing, and my first thought was the timing of the memodate issue, we have to ask jaz. he's the one who wrote the article in the financial times that brought up the case. but, you know, we're talking about timing, and i think chris raised this as well. you know, why two years after the fact all of a sudden the supreme court now is saying, it's threatening to disqualify the prime minister for not following through with the supreme court order to, um, banish the nro and move forward with corruption charges

. >> the senatorial committee, republican senator committee. >> which is the second biggest battle afters control of the u.s. senate. >> that's right. >> let's go to this campaign. shockingly, it's ugly. the guy losing is complaining. i want to show how romney, though, maggie, is not letting up, not taking his foot off gingrich's neck. here's what he said yesterday on freddie mac. >> i think the real reason he hasn't done so well connecting with the people of florida is that people actually saw him in those debates and listened to his background, his experience, and they learned, for instance, that he was paid $1.6 million to be a lobbyist for freddie mac and they said that's not what we want in the white house. >> you know, maggie, on one hand, they learned their lesson from iowa, they can't stop with gingrich, because if you let up just a second, he might find oxygen. on the other hand, at some point, he's got to be the guy that starts bringing the party together. that's a fine line he's got to walk. >> absolutely, and i think they see no percentage in stopping before florida. i do thi

brian walsh at the national senatorial committee put out a fwraet video highlighting that. why the man who really ran to remove all types of just hate towards politics has actually caused even more hypocrisy in politics. it's why people are as cynical as they are. he can stop that. gabby giffords, tonight, is a great example of how he can change that. but i doubt that we'll really see much from the president substantive substantively. >> doug heye, maria cardona, that is all. that is fair game today. thank you both. >>> at last year's state of the union address, this woman was singled out for going back to school. she was even caught on camera saying, that's me. well, now it is one year later. did she stay in school and what does she think of our president now? she joins us live to explain, next. . ♪ you and me and the big old tree ♪ ♪ side by side, one, two, three ♪ ♪ count the birds in the big old tree ♪ ♪ la la la [ male announcer ] the inspiring story of how a shipping giant can befriend a forest may seem like the stuff of fairy tales. ♪ ♪ you and me and the big old tre

who studies -- she was talking about the corruption in montana at the turn of the century around senatorial of cash. it was a well-known thing. this was how it functioned. a long history to that. >> and a conservative one in the sense that teddy roosevelt was one of the fathers of banning contributions. >> i was in center county yesterday in pennsylvania. the senator of the keystone state who delivers the messages for washington, of two million jobs that have been created in the last 12 months. almost all of them were created by small business. what i noticed the other day is that the small business administration was raised to a cabinet level by the president to propose. i also noticed as we talked here shall the government accounting office did a study that said the vast -- the majority of all of the set asides for small businesses are pass throughs through fake small businesses that go to corporations. i go back that the star running back for this economy is small businesses. i was vice chairman as i mentioned of small business community. i could do that as a freshman because there's no

demographics in the room are different than a lot of other campaign headquarters of a lot of other senatorial or gubernatorial campaigns across the state. this is a young crowd. we have been seeing that. that's backed up by the entrance polls we have been deciphering. of those under the age of 30, upper teens and 20s, who showed up at the campaign caucus sites tonight, almost half of them, 48%, actually caucused for ron paul. a very strong youth organization in the ron paul movement. another evidence of that? those people who had never caucused before, of those people who have never been to a caucus before, 35% of them cast their votes tonight for ron paul. those are big sites. no other campaign had anything close to that as far as numbers are concerned. so, tonight we expect to see a lot of young people here, and those people are showing up. they're getting ready to see the candidate come out in a little bit. we understand the campaign folks who are working on this campaign are meeting in another part of the hotel, getting their game plan together for when to come out and things like that. w

national election and the questioner asks what will be the implications of a ppp victory in the senatorialection and i think the question we ought to be answering as well is duties mean? would any of my colleagues on the panel like to tackle that one? >> i think the implication is that the ppp does very well in the elections and that will help them in the general elections that are scheduled for next year, a year from now. but i think again it comes up to the timing. someone asked about the timing and my first thought was the timing of the issue we have to ask he is the one before the article in "the new york times" that brought up the case. but we are talking about timing and why two years after the fact of a sudden the supreme court now is threatening to disqualify the prime minister for not following through with what the supreme court ordered to banish and move forward with corruption charges against presidents ra, sallai sees suspicious timing of the way around here and so again raises the question of why is this happening now? we only have a year to go until the election. it's just m

do we have anyone here from the senatorial committee? >> and they were invited? uh-oh. >> this is a discussion that the institutions of the republican party, that they need to be involved with. how many people do we have at the strategic papatable in any f the presidential campaigns? i am at the strategic table for one of them, but i think we need a tim scott or -- you do not have to be in the same camp that i am in, but somebody that looks like us need to be at the strategic table to say, i know where you are trying to say, but i would not say that like that. [applause] again, perception is reality, and i don't care if it is with christians or with jews, in the church, which organization, my business. if my customers, my clients feel like i do not care about their means, they will go somewhere else. -- care about their needs, they will go somewhere else. this issue surrounding this perception -- i have had to defend them and say, look, you do not know these guys. give them 15 minutes with you and give the other side 15 minutes with you. i will wait for the resul
