check out this video of the moment the quake hit, also in mexico city, so remarkable about this footage is remember how far away this was from the quake s center. chad myers is tracking the very latest of this down in atlanta. chad, how many people felt this hit? some sobering numbers now, john, coming in really here. we ll talk about strong shaking, 600,000 people in mexico felt strong shaking with moderate damage. 2.3 million people felt moderate shaking but i think the number here that may really surprise us tomorrow is the u.s. geological survey has the new computer model that will tell them how many fatalities are estimated. there s a 42% chance that somewhere between 10e and 100 people died in this earthquake. there s a 30% chance of up to 1,000 people dying in this earthquake, and now we know this is just the very latest, igualapa, cnn just confirmed this town is reporting 800 structures have collapsed, mainly homes, but this is very close to the epicenter of the 7.4
news on retail sales. tell us. that s right. shep. that s what kicked off this big day on wall street. it s a big night for politics, too. we want to let you know we will keep rolling our exit poll information at the bottom of the screen throughout the show. according to this report on my ipad, shep, stocks began soaring after retail sales? february, rang up their biggest game in five monthsing you suggesting that consumers are feeling more confident about the economy and will spend more on things like ipads. that s one reason the nasdaq hit a new 11-year high today. it s heavy with tech companies like apple and unlike in the.com bubble, technology companies today have real and massive profits, shepard. shepard: we got breaking news this afternoon, peter, the fed announced that four major banks failed so-called stress tests. what does that mean for all of us who use those banks. yeah, the fed looked at 19 large banks and 15 of them passed its latest round of stress tests.
none of them have uniformly with any broad swath of republican voters. but remember, al, that only affects turnout. if people turn out in mississippi and alabama, it doesn t matter who of these three is the republican nominee, they are going to carry mississippi and alabama and that s been mitt romney s basic argument, on the weakest in the south, any republican, including me, will beat president obama. where is going to matters is the lack of enthusiasm ex-symmss in pennsylvania, wisconsin, ohio, it dampens republican turnout in the fall, then it is real serious problems because i think the democrats, they won t be quite as wild-identify, enthusiastic about president obama as they were in 08, but i think there will be a strong level of enthusiasm which will manifest itself in a very good turnout. now, chip, we just got some exit poll information in. help me with this. when we look at the exit polls, the gingrich voters in alabama,
are counting down and it is game time. it is the political game going on tonight. the republican candidate goesing for the deep south and we have big prizes up for grabs, mi mississippi and alabama, and the total delegates at stake tonight in those two states is 84. if you are keeping track, more than 8 million votes nationwide have been cast in 26 primaries and caucuses so far. the horse race over the past several days has been truly tightening for the states up for grabs the night, and sit down to the wire. we are less than an hour away from the polls closing and will it be sudden death for one of the four candidates to give this country a little clarity of who is in and who might be out of what is a roller coaster race? can newt gingrich rise again as we call canned we called it the triple lazarus. and a bad night for newt gingrich could mean he is out of the race. with rick and me together, we arelying him down and with some help from ron paul, and the country is sort o
for romney for that and a third of the voters went to rick santorum and that sort of has been his strategy to go after maybe the more blue collar voters and independents and maybe democrats who would actually align with him kind of like the reagan democrats. what s going on in the war room with mitt romney? he s still got to win over working class people, he hasn t done it. evangelical christians are running to rick santorum and he also has a little bit of a problem with those who say they re very conservative republicans. let s look at some of the exit poll information for tennessee. santorum won 37% of the vote. this is the vote total ultimately. mitt romney at 28%. that s got to be a disappointment for romney a little bit. it s interesting. we have rich gaelin on yesterday, real smart guy, he thought it was a possibility that mitt romney could pull it out because the race had tightened so much in last 48 hours as was the case in ohio. 13 delegates.
