especially on jobs. >> governor romney enjoys firing people. i enjoy creating jobs. >> keeping them honest, governor huntsman stretched that one a little out of context. here's governor romney's original remark. >> i like being able to fire people who provide services to me. if i don't like the service, i'm going to get someone else to bring service to me. >> that came after a long argument of the health care reform law. it wasn't about the virtues of eliminating jobs. >> i was talking about insurance companies. we like to be able to get rid of insurance companies that don't give us the service that we need. >> opponents are also pouncing on this -- >> i know what it's like to worried about whether you're going to get fired. there were a couple of times i wondered if i was going to get a pink slip. and i care very deeply about the american people. >> that drew from rick perry on the fratrail in south carolina. >> i have no doubt that mitt romney was worried about pink slips. whether he was going to have enough to hand out. because his bain capital handed out a lot of pink slips. >> what do you think it goes? >> your pockets! >> whose pockets? >> playing the system for a quick buck. a group of corporate raiders led by mitt romney, more ruthless than wall street. for tens of thousands of americans, the suffering began when mitt romney came to dotown. >> that's a portion of a three-minute trailer of a 28-minute documentary that's running. first, though, mitt romney keeps making claims about his job record and it seems as odds with what his own campaign spokesperson has been saying about his jobs rord. tonight, keeps them honest. here's what governor romney said last tuesday. >> i'm very happy in my former life we helped create over 100,000 new jobs. and by the way, we created more jobs in massachusetts than this president has created in the entire country. if the president wants to talk about job, and i hope he is does, we'll be comparing his record with my record and he comes up very, very short. >> that 100,000 number got a lot of attention. a spokesperson steling him it came from flee companies, dom o domino's pizza, staples and the sports authority that romney helped start while at bain capital. however, he says it does not include job losses and layoffs in other companies. those include a dozen years worth of jobs growth after romney left bain. but now listen to governor romney just yesterday. >> in the business i had, we invested in over 100 different businesses and net-net, taking out the ones where we lost jobs and those where we added, those businesses have now added over 100,000 jobs. >> well, he's saying the numbers now take layoffs into account. that's the net-net he's talking about nap's different from what his spokesman just said. and notice governor romney says those businesses have now added 100,000 jobs. that is technically accurate, but it glides over the fact that neither he nor bain may have had anything nig to do with those jobs because he had long since left the firm. that said, even narrowing it down to the time he was at bain, it's hard to get a clear picture of how good or bad mitt romney's record was on jobs, and that's because bain doesn't release figures and a lot of companies it bought or invested in are private and still are private. "the wall street journal" did digging for today's paper. it looked at 77 businesses bain invested in. 22% of those companies either filed for bankruptcy or closed eight years after the bain investment. for another 8%, all the money that bain invested was lost. the "journal" also found those 77 deals netted bain $200 million and that made romney very, very wealthy. a lot of the republican candidates are hitting populous themes very hard. are you surprised to hear the moneys sounding kind of like democrats in their attacks on romney on this? >> i am. they sound -- there's a desperation to some of these. and more than that, there's an hypocrisy. we've been hearing through these 15 debates every one of these candidates stand up and defend the free market pl well, bain capital is a success within the free market system. and for them to go after it in this way, i think does -- it certainly spells of hypocrisy. but i think the regarder questions are when you look at bain itself, how did it operate during the romney years? i don't know all the facts, i can just tell you in boston where i am now, bain has a very good reputation. they're not seen as corporate raiders. they're seen as responsible in the way they buy out things. i've had one personal experience in a corporate setting when they came in and bought the company. we were very proud having bain as a partner. domino's pizza was involved in that. bain came in. they were very responsible. domino's almost went down. bain came in, turned it around. are there other examples? yes, teddy kennedy pointed out other examples which are much more questionable when he ran against him back in the senate. but overall, i must tell you, within the business community, bain as a general reputation here in boston is very positive. >> s >> is it a sign of desperation of newt gingrich your former boss? is. >> they said they're going to spend $3.5 million in south carolina. i don't think you can do that without actually buying a tv station. i'm not sure there's enough time available in a week to spend $3.5 million in those markets. but one of the things about what gingrich is doing is that the other night, he went after the president for suggesting that the president wants to have a french socialist/european -- i forget the litany kind of economy. but, in fact, by attacking what romney did at bain, he's suggesting we ugt ought to go t french system. and in the french economic system, every employee in every company is, in effect, a tenured professor. it's almost impossible to get rid of somebody after they've worked for a very short period of time. i think this is not going to have a long term effect. it's the kind of thing you want to get into in january and february, it's good for the romney campaign to learn how to deal with it and pivot off of it because they will certainly hear it again in the fall. >> to that point, we heard democratic activists or operatives saying that the president's super pac could rerun the gingrich super pac anti-romney film as their own basically without a single edit. do you think this is helping romney prepare for that eventual attack or hurting him? >> i think it's helping him prepare because the execution was bungled from the get-go with messaging. it won't have an effect on him overall. two things are happening simultaneously here. conversations are split because they see unethical behavior with corporate raiding. there's a dirty part of capitalism but still capitalism you either like it or don't. the other part is, and this is -- i spoke with rick tyler, a former gingrich aide who bought the rights to this film. when i spoke with him he didn't mention, and i actually had to bring up, bain capital received a $44 million taxpayer bailout from gts, the steel mill in kansas city. if they want to criticize that, that's anti-conservative. if you're going to criticize tenets of capitalism, newt gingrich enjoyed with corporate raiders, i believe he was on the advisory board of a certain company and received campaign donation is in the '90s as well, if you're going to criticize capitalism, that seems to be dread mental and not going to have an effect on the intended target. >> certainly an unconservative position. david, does romney still face this on stai-- obstacle as comi across as somebody who's relatable? >> i think he faces a very big obstacle there, anderson. he's made statements i think will come back to haunt him. corporations are people. today, he said, i like firing people. when you look at the context, it seems to be a fairly harmless although sort of somewhat mindless comment. the way he talks, trying the make a $10,000 bet during a debate. all of that puts him in an elite class, seen as unsympathetic, i think does get in his way. i was at new hampshire last night and heard him at a big rally with chris christie. he has continuing problems with emotional connections with people, not to say he will be a bad candidate, i think he's got a lot of work to do. >> we have lot to cover tonight. we have to move along. thank you. dana, as well, david gergen. stick around. we'll talk to you later. why newt gingrich is changing tactics going on the attack. hear what the candidates have say about that and the 30-minute spot attacking mitt romney. and how romney's mormon faith is playing in south carolina. cost romney a lot of votes in 2008 and this time, will it matter as much? we went to a mega church. we're on facebook, google plus, you can follow us. i'll be tweeting tonight and already begun. >> anderson, the most important development so far in the murder mystery, authorities have identified the person found dead on the queen's estate. they know who she was but how did she die?

>> reporter: what do you need to have happen in new hampshire? >> i think it's already happening. everywhere we go, we have big crowds and people are very positive and i think we'll have a pretty good night tomorrow night. >> reporter: people who are very very positive. but does that includes newt gingrich himself. >> we proved in iowa, you can't survive just by being positive. >> reporter: gingrich is in early attack mode. >> i was having a great time being positive and talking about big ideas and big solutions. i'd be glad to go back to that. i don't believe in unilateral disarmament. >> romney took for ren seed money from latin america. >> reporter: a big weapon is being loaded, a super pac which supports newt gingrich is about to start airing in a 30 minute advocacy film ahead of the south carolina primary, blasting romney. >> a story of greed, playing the system for a quick buck. a group of corporate raiders led by mitt romney. more ruthless than wall street. >> reporter: presidential candidates are not allowed to coordinate the actions of such super pacs. when newt gingrich was asked about your super pac, gingrich declared -- >> i think there's a huge gap between where mitt romney is and i am and what we hope to communicate in south carolina. >> reporter: was gingrich acknowledging he was directly involved in the actions of the super pac, which would violate the law? >> reporter: are you giving any advice? >> no. >> reporter: are you affiliated with them at all? >> i am not affiliated with them at all, don't talk with them at all. i have not actually seen the film. >> reporter: as speaker of the house, speaker gingrich was second in line to presidential ac session. to get better than that, he has to do better than he did in iowa. >> reporter: he got an endorsement. >> about 20 minutes ago, i got a phone call from todd palin, sarah's husband, and he indicated he was endorsing me today and going to speak out on behalf of my candidacy. >> reporter: newt gingrich said he's feeling momentum. >> i think this is a wide open primary. >> reporter: a primary that feature as very aggressive newt gingrich. gary tuchman, cnn. david gergen is back along with gloria borger and david webb, any founder of tea party 365 and hosts the david webb show. >> gloria, who do you think voters want to see at this point? which newt gingrich, the aggressive newt gingrich or kinder gentler don't speak badly of others? >> i think they want a little bit of each. what republicans want is somebody who can take it to barack obama and somebody who can win. what happened to newt gingrich in iowa is he got bombarded. and what he say said in the piece, gary did, is he couldn't win. i think there has to be a bit of nuance in a campaign and what we don't have from him. he went out of his way to say i'm going to be the positive person now he's turning negative. it's a bit of re-branding that takes a bit of adjustment. in fact, voters want somebody who can fight for himself. >> david webb, tomorrow night, no one is really asking if mitt romney will win new hampshire. that's considered guaranteed. the question is how much does he have to win by in order to blunt any momentum by other candidates heading to south carolina? what do you think? >> i think mitt romney has to pull out a win somewhere around 37%. it would be nice to see him get to 40 from the campaign's point of view. that would give him a solid bounce going into south carolina where, where he's polling very well within the state, especially on the economic issues. but the real big story in new hampshire is second and third. how will that play out with huntsman picking up some steam? he's polling in the double digits, around 13%, and does ron paul drop off, allowing newt gingrich to rise a little bit? new hampshire, as you know, anderson, likes to violate the polls, because we have the unaffiliated voters who can choose on election day to register and vote as a republican or choose to stay as a u. that will play heavily and they have a high percentage in this state. that will also play into it. >> david gergen, it would be refreshing for the mitt romney campaign to be above 25% in any poll because they haven't been able to break 25%. >> there are over 35% who are undecided as of this weekend. these last minute events could affect things. generally speaking, mitt romney has been above 40 and now in the mid-30s in some of the polls. i think if he comes in less than 30, he gets hurt in the media interpretations. he's got to come in the mid-30s, then he'll have what would be called a major win. if he gets over 40, then i think that will be regarded as crushing by the media. i think under 30, in terms of the expectation game, he's got to beat that or otherwise, even if he pulls out a victory, the media will revive this idea he really has a ceiling, even where he's a sort of hometown favorite. >> gloria, talking about these independent voters or undecided voters in new hampshire, how big a factor tomorrow? >> huge. the most important, most unpredictable, 4 out of 10 of them, 4 out of 10 of people who go to the polls are these independent voters. it's going to be very important for mitt romney. he does very well with them. the big fear of the romney campaign, i heard this when i was at an event with romney over the weekend is they're afraid some of their supporters think, oh, he's got such a big lead, we don't need to go out and vote and that would reduce their lead. what romney said to all the people at this event was, you know, please show up at the polls. we need you, because he understands what david webb was saying, that he needs to win by a very convincing margin, no matter who places number two. >> david webb, i'm curious, as a tea party supporter, how do you view all these attacks against romney for his tame at bain capital, this thing gingrich has put out or his super pac has put out. >> anderson, it's exactly what it is, an attack. it has very little merits when you look at the facts of bain capital. overall, it was 70% success percentage and on average, venture capitalism, about 60%. they're going to go after him, they're going to go after him in apples and oranges come pair son to president obama and solyndra. you have to look at the defensive. bain capital was a private company -- is a private company and these are private investors taking risks, making decisions to roll up companies. make decisions to push them forward. >> does it disappoint you to hear republican candidates make these charges which are, you know, not really necessarily conservative positions? >> i'm not that surprised. let's look at the fact this is hardball politics. in, mr., you're going to get your nose bloodied. you're going to get attacks that will come from either side. so i'm not surprised. it doesn't disappoint me. i don't like it but negative does work. we saw in the case of newt gingrich's attack on romney, he managed to take romney down about four points, at the same time, the collateral damage was that newt lost a few points. >> anderson, what we're seeing happen is kind of interesting to me. in the republican party, you seem to be having a class warfare argument among republicans. you have rick santorum saying essentially that mitt romney isn't a guy who can feel the pain of the middle class. that's what this fire people, you know, fight is about, you know, i like to fire people, which as david points out was taken out of context on mitt romney. corporations are people and the rest of it. it's not good for the republican party to be having this argument internally about who is best to represent the middle class when the nominee could well end up to be mitt romney, and you're just handing these lines to barack obama. >> david webb, david gergen, gloria borger, thank you very much. fascinating stuff. one other quick item. white house chief of staff, bill daley will be stepping down, the older man on the right and replaced by jack lew. and had gone back to replace the chicago mayor, emanuel. >> the case of a missing >> how will mitt romney's mormon play in south carolina. will it be his achilles heel like it was in 2008? >> the case of a missing toddler, ayla reynolds, what her grandmother is now saying about her own whereabouts the night the child disappeared. real estate in hong kong, and the optics industry in germany?
