tony perkins got on the phone to say, don't worry, romney made a gaffe, this is not a change of position at all. perkins confirmed the campaign called and assured him romney wasn't changing his support for pro-life issues. romney himself tried to dig himself out of a hole. >> i'm a pro-life candidate and i'll be a pro-life president. the actions i'll take immediately are to remove funding for planned parenthood. >> it's hard to understand how mitt romney can tell iowa reporters there's no legislation on abortion in his agenda. romney admits he'll sign a bill to defund planned parenthood. he also wants to defund nonprofits, providing abortions in foreign countries. romney says he'll sign legislation reversing roe v. wade. he wants to appoint supreme court justices who will overturn roe v. wade. my friends, this is the most extreme pro-life agenda a presidential candidate could ever have. romney's statements to the iowa paper would be the most radical 180 on abortion rights if it wasn't for the complete 180 he's already made on something else. >> i will preserve and protect a woman's right

and tony perkins is here now. >> good morning to you three. and good morning, effect. know whats time for. it is time for ask tony and tucker. -- you know what it is time for. here is today appear question. it is a question that i think all of us have been hearing for last day or so. people are wondering what could make this storm, sandy, and the storm we're talking about, a super storm. so here we go. it is a combination of things, right? >> it is a combination of things. i i think the most important thing that would make it different from your traditional storm is that you will have a combination of a tropical storm and a mid latitude storm. so it will become what we call a hybrid. all bets are on when a hi branch davidian forms because we don't understand them very well. they are fairly well. last one sort of significant one, many people are familiar with the george clooney movie, the perfect storm. that was hurricane grace and that combined with a hid- latitude storm much like the one we are looking at. we are looking back at 1991 at the perfect storm. you can see i

i'm tony perkins. >> i'm allison seymour. happy you are with us this hour. >> let's get straight to the latest on hurricane sandy. the category 2 storm hit cuba overnight. now tropical storm warnings are in effect for the florida coast possibly toward the united states. yesterday sandy slammed jamaica killing at least two people. and it's still too soon to tell what impact sandy will have, federal forecasters are bracing for the worst. could collide with an early winter storm creating a super storm. that could mean the potential for heavy rain, even snow, winds and flooding. >>> this all sounds alarming, we don't want to alarm you. people are concerned about this. tucker is here with the details. >> it's all just a possibility. we're not sure where it's going to track. some of the computer models want to take it out to sea. worst case scenario were to happen, everything we just mentioned including the possibility of winter weather out to the west. not here in washington. i'll have more on this but here's your latest informati

i'm tony perkins. >> i'm alison seymour. this wednesday morning. >> we're also happy tucker barnes is with us to tell us about what's going on. man, yesterday evening, i saw the fog. i was looking out my window, it got thicker and lower and it was quite fascinating. >> interesting. the visibilities at this hour still 0.25-mile. >> i wish i had that kind of time on my hands. >> looking out the window? >> sitting on my porch, it was wonderful. >> love to kick back and watch the weather. >> i would, too. >> we're doing fine now. no rain. fog and mist with the fog in spots there. that's what you're seeing on our radar. not expecting measurable rain today. the trend will be to burn off the fog and the cloud cover, too. and that will lead to a partly sunny afternoon. here's the better news, if you want the summertime temperatures, we'll be in for highs in the mid-80s later today. much warmer air on the way. dense fog advisory, probably until 10:00 a.m. now places like winchester and hagerstown where the fog has been tough this mor

now, i saw in some press reports today that the first call they made, when that ended, was to tony perkins. and i'm sure that tony perkins reined them right back in and they quickly clarified it, and romney doubled down on his positions, his pro-life positions and he promised to defund planned parenthood, sign legislation to overturn roe v. wade and another editorial board today. so i think what it shows is that there is a very tight hold on mitt romney by some of the most conservative extreme elements of that party. >> stephanie cutter, deputy campaign manager for the obama re-election campaign, thank you very much for joining us. we are all very much looking forward to tomorrow night. >> thanks, rachel. >> appreciate it. >>> all right, elizabeth warren and scott brown debated in massachusetts tonight in front of a kind of rowdy crowd. i live in western mass, i know what that's like. hold on, that's ahead. overmany discounts to thine customers! safe driver, multi-car, paid in full -- a most fulsome bounty indeed, lord jamie. thou cometh and we thy saveth! what are you doing? we doth offer

they called tony perkins and said don't worry, don't worry -- >> who is the president, andrea saul ory. >> or tony perkins. >> in that campaign romney can say something on "60 minutes" he can say it on national television and sometime around 11:00 some fellow named eric fernstrum shows up and says he didn't mean that or andrea saul but 99% of the people heard the cosmetic pandering can the governor engaged in. i like that guy. and only in the midnight of the darkness when the etch-a-sketch goes on, they say he didn't really mean that. he doesn't believe in covering people with pre-existing conditions. you can't do this. >> in the end he doesn't get away it because on november 6th people are going to vote their gut. when you get right down to it, they're going to vote who do they trust the most? and they like obama, they may not agree with all of his policies, but they trust him that he's out there trying to fight for them. they don't -- >> we'll see, we'll see, we'll see. i'm still confused boo i this state. they got a guy like you and they have mitch mcconnell? thank you. kentucky go
