Hello, everyone. >> happening now, it is coming down. a bill to remove the confederate flag from south carolinas capitol grounds is now on its way to the governors desk, and governor nikki haley is expected to sign this bill into law during a ceremony at 4:00 p.m. today. this historic move comes three weeks after nine people were killed in an african-american church in charleston. >> the final vote happened last late lig -- late last night. one of the standout spee speech comes from jenny horne....

Honestly just too new and i was too shocked and too close and i hadnt had time to process it and figure out what it meant. i think everybody at "the post" ive spoken to felt the same way. this all comes, by the way -- it comes the same week that "newsweek" and the "boston globe" got sold for fractions of their value ten years ago. and i want to talk about these sales for a minute. i dont want to give you a big spee speech. i dont have great solutions. ill admit that up front. i just want to talk...

There was a lack of vision. he talked about recruiting people to the cause. listening to the speech, i dont understand what the cause is. he is not outlined an affirmative vision for the future. and he has not defined conservativism or conservative approach to answering problem tas are real in peoples lives all over the country. i think that until he does that, he is going to continue to be criticized as running a vision-less campaign. >> we have lawrence odonnell, and ed schultz, and reverend a...

Them like the great speeches of the 68 convention, the great speech of the 60 convention. they were barn burners. people would say, wow, what a speech. why cant romney deliver when he knows its a big night some kind of vision? some kind of passion? >> well, i think it goes back to mitt romneys personality. and i talked along the lines that howard was making a moment ago with the veteran house republican tonight. very politically savvy. wants mitt romney to be the nominee because he thinks he wou...

>> all of our economic plan is based on a simple concept, based on what has worked for america from the very founding. i wave this constitution at every speech and talk about it being the operators manual of america, and it is how america works and the how of america, but there is another document equally important and that is the why of america, and thats the declaration of independence. in that declaration is these words that we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men were created eq...

He could do that if he wanted to. >> he gave a speech tonight which was a business proposition, not a vision. where was the emotion? by the way, somebody said a few minutes ago, why didnt mitt romney say what it meant to him emotionally to win in a state he was born in? >> look, short of that, can he figure out a way to make the tech no cattic part of this, and i say this and some people are going to think youre trying to talk about michael dukakis. but he almost needs to figure out how is that ...

What the romney campaign was focused on tonight, gallop poll numbers. they show the president with a 43-50 favorable, unfavorable job rating. and they also show mitt romney in a test match-up with the president beating him by four points, 50-46. so the president could enjoy the speech that he gave to the uaw today and enjoy sort of the havoc that was created in michigan and the division and weakness of the republican party. but they should not be deluded at the white house that this is going to ...

Years. she balanced time as my dad did working different -- i am sorry to interrupt this speech, but it is important. nbc news can project that the winner of the republican primary in the graeat state of michigan is mitt romney, and it is too close the call since the poll closings, but now mitt romney is the projected winner in michigan and with that we go back to rick santorums speech. with a big heart and commitment can, and that is one of the reason s ths that i ende marrying the person i...

Way on a political point, rick santorum just said im carrying this election all of the way to pennsylvania, because he is going after marcellus oil up there, and he is going to sell this oklahoma as you said off camera and sell it in pennsylvania and going to be the minerals candidate up in npd nd and sell the fact that he cant win in the big metropolitan and big sophisticated suburbs that romney people have the country-clubbers, but he is going after the rural areas. >> but it is hard after a m...

Inflection points and we have seen the momentum change with who wins the races. mitt romney knows that he has actually cant count on having one arizona and michigan, tonight, but he has to count on a big speech. >> jimmy carter would do that after winning one of the surprise primaries and sit down with a top anchor person in a hotel room, and have a conversation and sometimes that is more effective, because it can talk to the people. >> i expect mitt romney to knock it out of the park right here...
