it was right after the killing of usama bin laden.om was that barack obama was unbeatable, the guy was a shoo-in for re-election. now as you point out the republicans understand that this guy is beatable, that people in iowa and other swing states do not think that he has the leadership qualities necessary to get the country out of this pickle, and be they do -- whether it's blood in the water or optimism or whatever -- they sense now that the door is swinging wider. and for people like mitt romney, tim pawlenty, texas governor rick perry who's about to get in the race, they now see this as they have a chance to really win. megyn: all right. so if that's what they're believing out there, what does that mean for front runner mitt romney, chris? he's a little bit more moderate according to most, not so much to the right as rick perry, for example, so does that place him in a better position or worse position if people are really down on president obama? >> reporter: that's a good question because the truth about mitt romney is the harde

do you remember when president bush said about usama bin laden dead or alive.criticism for it. it was too blunt talk. but rick perry talked about, when it comes to treason, if you breaker it it's punishable by death. he didn't mean that. he speaks plainly. he speaks in a way people can understand and he's not going to apologize for it. however, i would bet as you get into the primary time frame a little bit closer to say february, when things start narrowing down, he will probably dial back that rhetoric just a little bit. megyn: it will make for far less interesting segments. dana perino, see you at 5:00. all the best. tracking hurricane irene as it grows strong and strong. the east coast is on alert as hundreds of thousands are fleeing the north carolina coast. plus, this guy won the lottery. and then lost just about everything else. why he is now just days away from deportation and in the middle of a big lawsuit in "kelly's court." >> he said that i didn't know what i wish for. and i said what you wish? he had a dice in his hand and he rolled it. and he didn

usama bin laden's dead, gadhafi's on his way out, that's different from jimmy carter.is point in jimmy carter's presidency, he not only had a big economic problem, he had big international embarrassments as well, so if you're looking for a silver lining as a democrat, that's probably one. jenna: we'll take any we can get. jerry, thank you so much for coming in. rick, back to you. rick: well, it has already destroyed hundreds of homes in the bahamas, and right now what looks like what could be a nightmare scenario in this country, hurricane irene setting its sights on the east coast. 65 million americans are on the storm's path, and we've got reporters up and down the coast. we'll talk with someone who says he's not evacuating coming up. rick: welcome back. former vice president dick cheney about to release his highly-anticipated memoir detailing his many years in washington and also in the bush white house, of course. but already we're learning a few details. wendall goler's live in washington with more. >> reporter: hey, rick. the former vice president says his book w

you know, when usama bin laden was captured and killed, the president's approval rating shot way up, many people for the weeks after that considered him unbeatable in connection with his re-election bid. this is, i mean, you tell me, but this is another victory for the president in terms of a plan that was much maligned and criticized by his opponents and yet seems to have worked out in the way the president wanted. >> reporter: yeah. two caveats. one is it's not over yet. they don't have gadhafi, and it's not fully established that -- but it seems like it's heading that way. and they've said his days are numbered, and now they are likely single digits. two is that there's still criticism about how it's developed, and there are questions about the post-gadhafi regime and how that will work out. so if you, if supporters give the president full props, if you will, for how this has turned out, the question is whether the administration will then own the post-gadhafi regime and how that turns out. there clearly, this is a good development no matter how you look at it, what your ideologic

many of the dead were navy seals, part of that same unit that hunted down and killed usama bin laden. this afternoon's service will be held at arlington national cemetery. the names of those being memorialized and buried not yet, released for safety reasons, of course. an update on hawkeye, the dog who laid by his master's casket for the duration of the funeral. you can see this. hawkeye belonged to navy seal john hummelson, one of those troops killed in afghanistan and there is word this morning hawkeye now has a new home. one of petty officer's tummelson's friends is taking him in. you probably saw that video before our show if you were watching bill o'reilly. >> we had that yesterday morning. that was quite a story. >> let's talk politics now. the place, new hampshire. it happened actually on wednesday. the topic, cut, cap and balance. >> yeah, and there were all sorts of -- tempers were flaring, let's say, where a woman in the audience was trying to ask mitt romney a question about the government spending money, stuff like that. a little yelling from him. a little from her. listen

>> in the book, you write the book and a lot of things happen including usama bin laden thing and nowas been tarnished in this way. a great candidate, a charismatic candidate. he knows how to fire up a crowd. being a chief executive, getting things done, getting your hands dirty, getting in there. he doesn't seem to enjoy it. he doesn't seem to be good at it. he delegates that to other people. in the health care situation, i think he thought let me just keep giving a speech and people will understand. same thing here and i'm not a big fan of the class warfare going on. listen, millionaires, billionaires, hedge funds, i get that part but that's not a way to negotiate and get it done. no matter what happens here and i'm glad, by the way, this is going to happen so that we avoid a massive problem with the government and more importantly people getting access to money, 401k's getting whacked, the whole bit but obama's brand will take a massive hit. as is -- >> sure. congress which is over your shoulder right there, they have had a stinky approval rating for a very, very long time. but wha

suppose for example, in the recent dump of afpac documents there was tracking information where usama bin laden had been hanging out and this had been gestated over some time that could have been leaked? as opposed there were dealings underway now to ease moammar gadhafi out of libya. i would argue those are bad all around if those were publicized. real world circumstance i know about, u.s. embassy in bay jeepg is in frequent touch with dissidents in china. they would be at tremendous risk if that was publicized in domestic circumstances disaster preparedness, other things you can think of ways which all would be worse off if the nihlist view prevailed. what strikes me about the journalism here that at the end of a decade or two in which everything about the mainstream media has seemed under assault in its finances, in its own presentation of itself, increasingly in sort of circus-like ways, in all the other forces we know that mainstream news organizations jeopardized compared to their position in the cronkite era, nothing i think has reinforced the centrality of institutions like "the new yor

you know, this could turn out to be one of those saddam hussein things where he disappears or usama bin laden, we might not find him for years. however, the united states government is pretty positive he is still in tripoli. the white house says we're pretty sure he's still in libya. there are all sorts of rumors. he's hiding with the animals at the zoo. he's in those tunnels underneath the hotel. everybody seems to have a theory but nobody has seen him. >> want to hear a good one? the deputy intelligence chief who decided to all of a sudden defect, that took courage, late in the fourth quarter, i'll go to the other team. he says i believe -- i believe that he will dress like a woman. try to get across the border into algeria and then one day, resume power. he is drunk with power. and all of a sudden, this guy has stopped drinking the kool-aid. >> one other thing, it sounds as if the rebels are willing to cut a deal with him if he simply comes out and he says ok, i'm never going to come back. you can have my crown, my hat and everything else. they'll let him know. >> i don't know if you saw t
