And that is something that really strikes at the heart of some promises that the president made about the way detainees would be treated. theyve always kind of left themselves that wiggle room that military commissions would be part of the options in the way these detainees would be tried. but as we all know, department of justice said having looked at it they thought the best way to bring khalid shaikh mohammed to justice was to do it in federal court in new york city. its very clear that cant ...

Innovation, some of the investments, also known as spending in some of these areas like education, infrastructure, that kind of thing. as you know, one of the initiatives the president has been talking a lot about is expanding wireless access to 98% of americans. so i imagine all those kinds of topics will come up. >> savannah guthrie, guess what, spring is breaking out there on the lawn. >> reporter: i know, i know. it feels great. got to mind, dont mind sitting here waiting to come on. i got a...

Reason for them to vote against. so obviously, this doesnt happen in a vacuum. the president and his policies are very much at issue in these races. >> but interestingly, the vice president is more popular, probably in some of these rallies with the democratic base than the president. >> yeah, you know. this is something that goes back to campaign t2008. there were places and settings where they thought vice president biden was a great candidate. he has that kind of folksy delivery. hes got the ...

Troops. on the other hand, you have people like vice president joe biden, secretary gates saying, its not going to be a huge number, and it will be conditions-based. so the report you just mentioned highlights this tension that exists, and of course the military saying, we need more time. general petraeus just starting within the last month, in the middle would argue, weve only really been doing things right for a short time. youve got to give us an opportunity to succeed. politically at home, m...

Surprised if it doesnt come up in some way, shape or form, obviously. bill burton, the deputy press secretary, got a lot of questions, making for some walkward moments for him since hes talking about his boss. at one point, some reporter asked, do you think robert gibbs job is safe, which is kind of surreal for somebody subordinate to robert gibbs. but that being aside, gibbs comes back today and i think it would be pretty likely that some people will ask what he meant by those comments and whet...

National security advisers. secretary of state, general ray odierno joining from iraq. this was one of the primary issues on the table today, this formation of the government as well as how things are going with this drawdown of force. >> meanwhile, just posted to the web, in a "new york times" article on the efforts by the u.s. military to try to prolong or minimize the withdrawal, the july 2011 date of withdrawal from afghanistan, savannah, the argument being that theyre just beginning to make...

Burris, who isnt running for re-election. but thats kind of the backstory on this seat. for it to be so tightly contested, as we understand it is. hes running against mark kirk. this is one of the seats theyre watching closely. >> were still waiting on that jury thats been deliberating in the blagojevich case. thank you so much, savannah. and of course, join savannah and chuck todd weekday mornings at 9:00 eastern every day on nbc. the daily rundown. and democratic senator, jim webb, a member ...

The next vote will be very interesting. the house puts in add-ones in there regarding education and border defense. theres a possibility he could lose a significant amount of democrats on the next war funding bill. remember secretary gates says they need this legislation passed before august or else the military will have to start taking financials out of its day-to-day operations and put it toward the war effort. at the end of the day, i will say if you talk to democrats privately, the patience...
