You have to have an excuse, right? thats mine. im sticking to it. >> if that doesnt work, he can give it a go michele bachman style. remember how she confronted it a couple weeks ago? >> i havent had a gaffe or something i have done to cause me to fall in the polls. >> there it is. the poll numbers speak for themselves, neither stranlg gi is working. vacation veto. president obama went with bill clinton for energy products. dont think he didnt nudge congress to pass parts of the jobs bill. >> we...

Reporters in suspense. this was intended as the campaign headquarters here in his hometown. however, its not clear if this will be the announcement of a national headquarters or the end of his campaign. sources say that he will probably end the campaign because of the fallout. im handed one of these t-shirts. we asked if they would be selling these t-shirts as a clearance sale. no real good indication and shortly after 1:00 today in a campaign and what the impact is. >> reporter: obviously, the

Been paper thin. as you know, his entire iowa staff quit in june. a couple of them have been brought back on board and theres a four-month gap where people are not organizing in iowa for him. for him to be successful on january 3rd, there has to be more organized caucus-goers rather than relying on some one -- a campaign to cart them there. >> how about bob fan derplats. hes quoted saying evangelicals will give newt gingrich a second look. i think they believe that hes changed their life. on the...

And something that really is going to help them. and in the end will come to their rescue is that gingrich has very skeletal staff. these early states take real staff, real organizing. saying there are only 24 gingrich staffers total in the early states. hes got six in iowa, eight in new hampshire, ten in south carolina if that adds up to 24, i think it does. and they say theyre adding staff, but they admit theyre not going to be able to get what they need. theyre not going to have county by cou...

13-year affair with him. are these deal breakers for with you either of these candidates? >> interesting to see how people are responding to herman cain. i think his numbers have been dropping. but what sealed it with people was the way his attorney responded to this latest allegation saying this is private consensual behavior and should not be considered by people. that doesnt work. voters dont look at it that way. i think they both at both the personal and professional life. in the poll you ju...

Benefits? does that sort of discourage people from actually looking for work? and after that exchange yesterday, i had some people on twitter attacking me and suggesting i was suggesting people should not be getting unemployment benefits. i was not doing that at all. by was citing a study the presidents advisor put out a few months ago. one of the challenges he will face is people holding up the study his own economicked a advisor wrote just a few months ago. megyn: if you pay attention to the n...

Say is a double standard. they had to pay $8,000 to occupy the work and the pock pie protesters paid nada. the city said the tea party may owe taxes on tickets and food sales. back now to our top story. the u.s. appears to be taking the lead in a drastic effort to reduce the threat of a global financial meltdown. but we are hearing billions much dollars in new credit is only going to buy the world two weeks of wiggle room and critics are asking if we are giving hah by stiewl overspenders -- if w...
