it's mitt romney by himself. he cannot fail. and it doesn't seem to me that this debate process is strengthening him as a candidate. >> i think one of the interesting aspects of this is the comeback of speaker gingrich over the last month or so, particularly with the collapse of perry. he's in third place right now. and i would expect him to rise on the basis of the performance tonight. the further collapse of perry, i'd expect cain's numbers to come down. but we may well see a situation where speaker gingrich now is the chief competitor to mitt romney going forward. and speaker gingrich, i don't believe he'll be the nominee, but i do believe he'll put governor romney through his paces in these future debates. as we move into the voting period and the number of people on that stage begins to shrink, i do think that governor romney's going to have some more competition than we've seen so far in the race. >> the msnbc team, steve schmidt and alex wagner, thank you both for joining me tonight. >> thanks, lawrence. >> you bet. the great to be with you, lawrence. coming up, michael moore with his reaction to tonight's debate. and later, america's most corrupt lobbyist, jack abramoff joins me to talk about his new book. and the republicans who got caught and the ones who didn't.

>> now, you were opposed -- these people that you called in some of these e-mails "morons" and one other lobbyist who represented other indian tribes, you called him a moron. and these other terrible terms you were using, these were the people who actually brought you down. >> i brought myself down, lawrence. >> but they started the investigation. >> maybe. i'm not certain. i'm not certain. does it matter, really? >> it matters -- well -- >> i was doing things that was wrong. i was doing things i shouldn't have been doing. i was in a business i shouldn't have been in. i've been severely punished for it. i've been totally bankrupted from it. and now i'm trying to make recompense and trying to help clean up the system. these are things that i've gone through, you know, before. >> well, you know who tom rogers is? he was a lobbyist that represented other indian tribes. he, himself, is descendent from native american. you called him a moron. he was one of the people who started the investigation

>> right. >> so you came up with another idea. "in 2003, abramoff approached the tigua tribal council with a novel proposition. free term-life insurance for all elder members of the trim. abramoff would pay the premiums, but there was a catch. the death benefits from the term-life policies that abramoff for would not be paid to the families of the tribal elders, but to a private school in washington, d.c. the school, founded and directed by abramoff, would use the money to pay tigua lobbying fees to abramoff's law firm." so the private school, you would use that to launder money to then pay you lobbying fees? >> lawrence, i think with all of this stuff, i was involved in an area i shouldn't have been involved in. that was an example. that particular thing was an insurance program that the law firm that i was a member of created in their insurance division to help nonprofits.

know this stuff disturbing. troubling. >> any time there's an accuser that comes forward with charges of this nature, you recognize this is a very serious matter. and it should be taken seriously. this woman's charges are particularly disturbing and they're serious. >> obviously they are very troubling, but these are things, you know, they're allegations. herman has his opportunity to tell his side of the story and the american public can make a decision. >> and then there were newt gingrich's words of wisdom learned through hard and bitter experience. >> he has to have an answer and it better be accurate, because if it's not accurate, they won't survive 24 hours. >> and finally, there's the huntsman angle which smartly recognizes that hopeless candidates like herman cain need not observe any of the rules that govern candidates who are actually trying to win. >> it's a distraction and herman cain can deal with it however herman cain chooses to deal with it. >> joining me now, msnbc analyst richard wolffe. thanks for joining me tonight, richard. >> my pleasure, lawrence. >> richard, it feels to me like

in mississippi, on initiative 26 to amend the state constitution, to define personhood as a human being from the moment of fertilization, an effective ban on abortion in the state, that initiative was defeated with 58% of precincts reporting. the vote is currently 57% against and 43% in favor. in the two gubernatorial races today, mississippi lieutenant governor phil bryant, a republican who strongly supported the personhood amendment easily won the race to succeed governor haley barbour. in kentucky, governor steve beshear, a democrat, easily won a second term. joining me now, congresswoman debbie wasserman-schultz, chairwoman of the democratic national committee. thank you for joining me tonight, congresswoman. >> thanks for having me tonight, lawrence. >> i want to go to the result in mississippi and the reproductive rights of women. this very clear attempt to

she's a contributor for the grio.com which is part of nbc news. >> thanks for having me, lawrence. >> what did you make of it? it comes down to he said/they said. i'm not sure what more guidance we're going to get on sorting our way through this. >> i think it's more than just a he said/she said. it's a he said and she said back then. these aren't brand new issues. these women filed claims. some of them did. some of them received settlements back then. these women did not come forward on their own but dragged kicking and screaming out of anonymity to come forward with decade-old charges. the woman who came out with gloria allred in her press conference, sure, she might have financial challenges. i assert the 40% of women who are sexually harassed in the restaurant industry every year that they, too, might have financial charges. that doesn't mean that they are not, you know, sexually harassed. it doesn't speak to their credibility in any way. so i think that today's press conference was an absolute farce.
