everything going round and round. >> the clean-up now beginning in the dallas/ft. worth area, and one of the busiest travel hubs in the country is now checking if the planes are fit to fly. new details this morning in the trayvon martin investigation and new questions about whether or not george zimmerman uttered a racial slur before pulling the trigger. we won them all. >> yes, indeed. it was a trifecta. mitt romney sweeps three more contests, moving closer to clinching the nomination, as president obama mentions him by name now. and from russia with love, a whole lot of love. claims in a new documentary that the russian spy anna chapman got cozy with a cabinet member. the fbi is now trying to stomp those rumors out. >> it's like a novel, huh? but up first this morning, texas sized destruction from tornadoes that ripped through the dallas/ft. worth area. as many as 13 tornadoes reported touching down yesterday. one of the twisters caught on tape in lancaster. >> holy moly. look at that. look at the debris fly. oh, my god. please. it's about a block or two away from my house. look at that. oh, shoot. oh, shoot. oh, holy shoot. look at that. oh, my god. the debris is flying. holy moly, oh, my god. holy moly. >> holy moly, yeah. he's probably a little too close for comfort there. it's about as close as you can get. the guy shooting the video, vincent tang, was actually on the roof of his house. >> and then we've got this incredible video to show you. check out your spotlight. that is a semi tractor trailer. holy cow, just being picked up and thrown through the air like a toy. seems like it's right out of the movie twister. look again. look at the distance. i hate to say the trajectory. it's just remarkable to see the power of the winds picking those up. the tornadoes ripped roofs off of homes. obviously, when you see this power, downed power lines seem like nothing. remarkably, even though this kind of power, no deaths reported in the dallas/ft. worth metropl metroplex. the dallas mayor maybe said it best. we dodged a big bullet. >> wow. cnn's miguel marquez is live in arlington, texas, as we take a look at these images. we think, my gosh, the devastation must have been huge. what's the very latest? >> this is a house. this is a bedroom. all of the clothes when this thing struck were sucked out of that closet, it's always amazing to see just how destructive these storms are and yet how precise. there's a house a few feet over this way, one that way, on this side of the street. none of them were touched. our ed lavender spoke to the homeowners here, the lawrence family yesterday, and they took him for a little tour of their home. >> sounded like a bomb went off. it was absolutely crazy. >> we were sitting in the bathtub, and the wind started to pick up. i heard the house start shaking, and this door started shaking. after a few minutes, it left, and we heard people screaming, is anyone in there? is anyone alive? we came out and walked through here. >> reporter: as many as 18 storms hit across a very wide area, and it skipped through the dallas area. national weather service teams are going to be out today surveying the damage, trying to figure out exactly how many storms did touchdown. i want to show you exactly how precise these storms can be. this is the tree in front of the lawrence home. this tree has a few leaves left. if you go just a few feet over to the right, you can see there is nothing. that tree is completely stripped. these storms are incredibly powerful, incredibly precise. fortunately this time, not deadly. back to you guys. >> we're so happy to hear that. miguel marquez live for us in arlington, texas. stand by. we're going to talk to you later in our 6:00 hour. thank you for that. >> it's now four minutes past 5r 5:00 on the east coast. wanted to give you this frantic look at a tornado on the ground near forney, texas, not far from dallas. >> it is coming toward us, you guys. get in the building. >> get in here now, michael. come here, bradley. come here quick. hurry, hurry, hurry. >> so dangerous, right? >> it's one of those things now with everybody who's got a cell phone that may be standing outside just a wee bit too long. after all, when you're look at what ended up being -- >> look at that. that's incredible. >> pretty remarkable. when you look at what ended up being an ef-1 or an ef-2 tornado, don't let it fool you you. it can kill you. let's go now to alexandria steel at the cnn weather center. it's hard to believe, when you see the tractor-trailers being thrown through the air, it's hard to believe it's an ef-1 or ef-2. >> that storm in particular might have been an ef-3 because some of these winds potentially 150 miles an hour. here's what it looked like around 1:00 beginning when this line coalesced, moved through dallas. potentially 13 reported tornadoes there. again, national weather service has to go out. it certainly has been a very fast start to the season. is it extraordinary or out of the norm to see this in dallas? really not this time of year. in dallas, april and may are the peak months for tornadoes there. last april, record setting, shattering the biggest month for tornadoes ever in the u.s., last april, getting off to a very robust season of the t. the problem, the setup we had yesterday that spawned all of the tornadoes is very similar to the setup we have today albeit a little farther eastward. the dynamics are the same. the upper level mechanism, the warm moist air coming up. this could be the trigger, the stationary front. it looks like tennessee could be in the bull's eye today for potentially widespread tornadoes, winds, and large hail. again, another potentially threatening day. we do have rain right now and very strong storms but nothing severe and no watches or warnings as of yet. we certainly will later this afternoon. >> alexandria, thank you for that. keep an eye on things. it is the season. mitt romney is now more than halfway home in the race to clinch the republican nomination, this after the big three, the sweeping win at the primaries last night. wisconsin was a critical 42 winner take all delegates for mitt romney. that gave him 42% there and 38% for rick santorum. if you move to maryland, the numbers flip. quite a trouncing. 49% for mitt romney in maryland, 29% for rick santorum. now look at washington, d.c., if you're wondering why that was such a routing, mitt romney 70%, holy moly. rick santorum dupt doesn't get on the board because he wasn't even on the ballot in washington, d.c. mitt romney does very well in his trifecta. a lot of people like to call that bragging rights. rick santorum is ignoring his republican rivals and says he's going to be focusing on the white house, as is mitt romney. >> the president has pledged to transform america, and he spent the last four years laying the foundation for a new government-centered society. i will spend the next four years rebuilding the foundation of an opportunity society led by free people and free enterprises. >> if you really want to know what numbers count the most, i've got them for you. the cnn latest estimated delegate count. mitt romney is well past the halfway point with 648 delegates. he needs 1,144 to clinch the ultimate nomination. santorum is a long way behind at 264. newt gingrich coming in at 137. and ron paul still hanging in there, 71 delegates he's been able to rack up these last three months. there is a three-week hiatus. >> yeah, a break. >> i think that means that john king gets a day off, maybe wolf bl blitzer gets half a day off, i'm not sure. but coming up april 24th, a biggy as well, connecticut, delaware, new york, and pennsylvania and rhode island also holding their contests. 221 total delegates at stake, 95 of them in new york. that's a real big kahuna, but pennsylvania is big too with 72 at stake. you know whose state pennsylvania is, rick santorum's. >> a whole lot of numbers you were talking about there. >> a lot of math. >> nine minutes past the hour. now to developments in the trayvon martin shooting situation. george zimmerman has hired a second attorney to prepare a defense if needed. that attorney told tv in orlando he's ready for the challenge. >> if you look at the challenges against george, if you look at the media, particularly the national media, you look at the state attorney's office, special prosecutor, u.s. justice department, and craig has been standing in there tall trying to stand up for this guy. i think it's time we have just a little bit more effort put in to putting the truth out and getting george's story out. >> meantime, we have results of analysis of a controversial 911 call that george zimmerman made. at issue, did zimmerman use a racial slur just moments before he shot and killed trayvon martin? >> alina cho joins us with the details. people eat up every minute detail, and this one would be critical. >> people who are following the case closely have honed in on this 911 call, a lot of debate about it. we want to gipp wibegin with th call. this is the call george zimmerman made the night of the shooting. in it, he can be heard mumbling. in it, people say they hear him mumble a racial slur. it can be difficult to hear exactly what he's saying. we want you to judge yourself. listen carefully to the very end of this clip. >> he's running. which way is he running? >> down towards the entrance to the neighborhood. >> okay. which entrance is that that he's heading towards? >> the back entrance. >> sounds like a lot of wind there. you can barely hear what's going on. what exactly did zimmerman say? was it a racial slur? we asked forensic expert tom owen to enhance that portion of the audio to see what he can glean from this? owen says he believes zimmerman did not use a slur but instead said f'ing close. we're going to play it again, but this time it's owen's cleaned up version. we're going to play it for you three times. again, listen carefully. so hard to tell us what he's saying. we brought in another frens ore expert. ed primeau sent us his advanced version. he believes zimmer man did use a racial slur. here's that version. and we're going to play it for you three times. so hard, it's really difficult. three times, you still can't really tell. >> you can listen to it a thousand times, and perhaps somebody could convince you that something was said. a starting point, a friend of zimmerman's actually appeared and talked about the robberies that happened specifically or allegedly by blacks in that community. what do you know about that? >> that's right. according to sanford police, there were eight robberies in that housing development. we want to get to that in just a minute. it really does speak to the question -- just back up for one second about the 911 call. it really speaks to the race issue. >> it's the first time i heard anyone suggest that zimmerman might have been saying close instead of the racial slur -- >> that starts with a "c," right. and specifically, this whole issue -- and the reason why we care about it so much is because of race and was it a hate crime. if zimmerman did, in fact, use that racial slur, of course, that's just going to add fuel to the fire to all of those trayvon martin supporters who are saying, see, this was a hate crime. see, this is racially motivated. >> spt that what the fbi is looking at? >> yes, to your point about the robberies in the area, yes, there was crime in the area. we're looking at that. soledad spoke to a man named frank taffe. he lives in the community. he's a former neighborhood watch captain. here's what he said to soledad about crime in the area. take a listen. >> we had eight burglaries in our neighborhood all perpetrated by young black males in the 15 months prior to trayvon being shot. one of those -- it would have been nine, but george zimmerman, through his efforts of being a neighborhood watch captain helped stop one in progress, documented in the 911 calls february 2nd. my house was being robbed, and george on his night ly rounds, watched this burglary in progress, called sanford pd, waited for them, and helped ensure that nothing bad happened to my house. >> stopped one in progress. is that true? well, cnn did some digging. according to sanford police records -- and this is what we were talking about before. there were indeed eight robberies in that housing development in the 14 months prior to trayvon's shooting. four of them involved black male suspects. another four had unidentified suspects. listen to this interesting detail. there's a 911 call dated three weeks before trayvon was killed. police were called to an address that matches frank taaffe's address after the caller said they saw a black male at the home. when police got to the address, there was nobody there. there's a lot of he said/she said going on. obviously, a lot of competing interests in this story, people who are supporting george zimmerman on one side and people who are supporters of trayvon martin and his family on the other. it really depends on who you believe, when you look at that 911 call -- >> what it should depend on, though, is the facts. it doesn't matter what we believe. ultimately, if this ends up in court, it matters what a jury gets to see. >> and it all hangs on this 911 call. >> don't know that. i strongly suggest a suppression hearing. if it ends up ever in court, and we are jumping way ahead of the game. you have your work cut out for you. >> you're right. i do. >> thank you, alina. still ahead, a member of the president's inner circle seduced by a spy?

>> yes, ma'am. >> for starters, thank goodness that everyone is relatively okay. i know there are some injuries that have been reported. your mayor, mike rawlings, he said you dodged a big bullet. i guess it can't be said better than that. >> yes, ma'am. the areas that were hit, it's tragic, a lot of devastation, a lot of damage, but it could have been a lot worse. >> so tell me the worst of it. we are looking at a screen watching tractor-trailers. we've heard this happen, but we've never actually seen it play out on television. hundreds of feet up into the air, hundreds of yards away. is this the worst spot that was hit south of dallas' downtown area? >> it's the worst that i'm aware of. it's where the sheriff's department has been concentrating their efforts at helping the town of lancaster that was hit pretty hard. that's where our efforts have been concentrated overnight. >> 63 million people in the dallas metro area, with that many people who likely have millions of cell phones, it certainly helps us get a better of picture of when tornadoes come through the area. but detective patterson, i am very concerned about how long people are staying out to videotape these storms rather than seeking shelter, are you? >> yes, it's quite dangerous. if you had been through an area where a tornado has been and just see the power that a tornado has and the destruction it does, you need to really take cover, take shelter, don't be out trying to take pictures. >> they can move so fast as well. i understand at dfw airport there were 110 aircraft that sustained damage from the hail. there were descriptions of hail that were at times pea sized, but at other times were baseball sized. was there an extraordinary amount of damage if there were baseball sized hail? >> from what i saw on the news reports, the larger sized hail was more to the west of dallas or possibly in the northern part of dallas. some of the photos i saw were almost baseball sized hail. >> cowboys football stadium okay this morning? >> as far as i heard. i haven't heard any different. i'm sure mr. jones would have told us if it had been damaged. >> sure. i am hearing that 47,000 homes are without power. is that likely to be restored pretty quickly? >> overnight myself and members of the sheriff's department have been out in the lancaster area, and i can tell you there's a large number of repair crews that are working down there, slowly getting some of the power turned back on, and i'm sure that is the same throughout the dallas county area. >> well, lieutenant patterson, we're happy to report that there's no one so far that's been reported killed, but we are sorry for the damage that you're going to have to assess today. thanks for talking to us. >> you're welcome. >> it is 36 minutes past the hour. a disturbing mystery in manhattan. a prominent french political scholar and political adviser richard dequans was found dead, naked in his bed with a sheet stuffed in his mouth. his cell phone had been found on the third floor landing as if it had been tossed out the window. police in central florida are releasing 911 tapes of the calls that came in just moments after a plane crashed into a supermarket. that plane slammed into a publix supermarket in deland, just outside of orlando. you can hear the panic of the witnesses. >> # 11. someone is on fire at public. oh, god. >> it's okay. what's on fire?

never mind. we didn't win powerball either. 38 minutes past 5:00. coming up next, chalk up three more big wins for mitt romney. as his republican friends say, bragging rights. but rick santorum says, duoesn' matter. he may be following further behind, but he's putting his bets on pennsylvania, the home state he lost in a landslide six years ago when he was running for senate. ♪ [ female announcer ] introducing new nature valley protein bars. 100% natural ingredients like roasted peanuts... ♪ ...creamy peanut butter, and a rich dark chocolate flavor. plus, 10 grams of great tasting protein in every bar. so it's energy straight from nature to you. new nature valley protein bars. find them in the granola bar aisle. 76 degrees in washington, d.c. a little bit later you're going to be enjoying that. chalk up wisconsin, maryland, and washington, d.c., for mitt romney, but don't count out rick santorum just yet. romney is celebrating a triple header sweep with three prominent wins last night. he now has over half the delegates to clinch the gop nomination. santorum sticking with his may strategy. he's already campaigning in pennsylvania ahead of the april 24th primary there. >> we have now reached the point where it's halftime. half the delegates in this process have been selected, and who's ready to charge out of locker room in pennsylvania for a strong second half? >> paul steinhauser is in washington for us. when i heard that, i thought, really, isn't it romney who's accused of being out of touch? is rick santorum a little out of touch? >> it seems the storyline has changed, zoraida. it's no longer santorum-romney. it's romney-obama. we saw that yesterday with president obama going after mitt romney, after budget chair paul ryan and the republicans and really hitting them hard. the president and his re-election team have realized it's now obama-romney, and santorum is done. romney picked up a lot of delegates last night. he only has to win, according to our cnn estimate, he only has to win 44% of the delegates to clinch the nomination. this road gets tougher and tougher for rick santorum. three more weeks until the pennsylvania primary, that's an eternity in politics. it's getting tougher and tougher and tougher, almost impossible for santorum. >> we'll get to pennsylvania in a minute. i've got to tell you, i'm excited about the exit polls. i want to talk to you about them, but i never thought they would excite me so much. it looks like there's almost a switch here, a shift, and maybe we can truly call it a momentum for mitt romney. what we're seeing is in maryland specifically, romney won people with income less than $50,000. 40% of the vote went for him. that typically does not happen. what do you think? do you think we can call it a real momentum here? >> this is such a great point. you look at the exit polls in maryland and also in wisconsin, and romney appears to be winning some of the groups where he has not fared very well so far this primary and caucus season. and i think in wisconsin he won slightly edged out over santorum those people who call themselves very conservative, tea party activists. and he did pretty well against santorum as well with people who declare themselves or consider themselves born again christians. this is all santorum's base. romney did pretty well last night with those groups. >> and electability as well. the question, can he defeat obama in maryland? 73% picked him. in wisconsin, it was 67%. if we look back to florida, 58% electability. so a shift here. do you think they buy romney when he says, i'm the one that can take out obama in november. >> they may not be in love with romney, but they realize it's late in the game. we need to coalesce and fall in line. romney appears to be the best person. remember hillary clinton won 5 of the last 8 contests in 2008 against barack obama, but it didn't matter in the end. so santorum could go on and win some of the more conservative southern states, but in the end, it really, really looks now like romney is going to be your nominee on the republican side. >> let's still look at pennsylvania. you would think that santorum would take that. they're kind of neck and neck there, aren't they? >> the polls have tightened up. three polls over the last week have indicated that santorum's once double digit lead has disappeared. one poll has him up six, and another has him up only two. >> when santorum was running for his senate seat, he actually lost. some of the same issues that people are saying he still has problems with now. >> one of them was a lot of people in pennsylvania figured he didn't even live there anymore. he lived in virginia. that was the troublesome thing in 2006 when he did lose his re-election bid to the senate in pennsylvania. he said, listen, i will win pennsylvania and go on to the may months. stay tuned. it's a long way away. >> paul, i'm going to put you on the spot. do you think we still go all the way till june? >> if santorum stays in, it may take romney till june to clinch the 1,144. sooner or later, it's going to happen, zoraida. >> paul steinhauser, thanks very much. ashleigh, back to you. >> just reworking our vacation plans for june. paul's going to fill in for us. 46 minutes past 5:00 on the east coast. time to check our top stories with christine romans. >> good morning, ashleigh. as many as 13 tornadoes touching down in the dallas/ft. worth area causing widespread damage. in lancaster, roofs were stripped to bare plywood, some ripped off. the city's mayor says about 300 buildings were damaged overall. at dfw airport, more than 100 planes have some sort of hail damage. dramatic video captured the power of these storms. a tractor-trailer was lifted sky high, tossed around like it was a toy. former vice president dick cheney is waking up at home this morning, released from a hospital in virginia. he had heart transplant surgery ten days ago. cheney is 71 years old. he has a history of heart trouble, including at least five heart attacks since 1978. a flight attendant goes above and beyond the call of duty. susan karns has been delivering food and drink in the air for years, but on a flight from africa to the united states in in march, she helped deliver a baby boy. >> everyone is looking at me obviously. i held him up and said, it's a boy. everyone clapped. there was laughter. it was really fun and exciting. she was so happy and weepy. it was great. >> luckily, one of the passengers was not only a doctor, but an obstetrician. we're told mom and her newborn son are doing just fine. >> what a story they have to tell. >> flight attend aants have a l of crazy stories, i mean crazy stories, but that one is a crazy story that's a good job. >> all that training. 29 years on the job?

>> reporter: they are indeed. they are only beginning to assess the damage. i'm standing next to what used to be a brick wall, this used to be a bedroom, this used to be the bed right there. you can see the clothes sucked out of here. how precise these storms were. this home completely destroyed, a few feet away this one is fine and right over here they are fine and across the street they are all fine as well, our ed lavandera had a tour of this particular house with the lawrence family who owns it just yesterday. >> sounded like a bomb went off. it was absolutely crazy. i thought the -- the house started shaking and i started praying and holding on for dear life. we were sitting in the bathtub and i heard the wind pick up and the whole house started shaking and this door started shaking and after a few seconds it left and we heard people screaming and we came out and walked out. >> reporter: now, i want to show you, again, just how destructive and yet how precise these storms can be. these are the trees outside of quail lane, this tree has some leaves lof of on it, but over to the right, the tree is stripped of everything, absolutely amazing how the storms blow through. the national weather service teams will be out to determine the storm damage across this incredibly wide area and try to figure out exactly how many storms occurred out there. back to you guys. >> so lucky so far we are hearing nobody killed in these storms. >> reporter: amazing. >> miguel marques live for us in arlington, texas. alexandra, you know, i have a number here and it's 14,000 pounds that supposedly those trailers weigh and so it's kind of hard to believe that that wasn't a more vicious storm, right, f-1, f-2? >> that's right, potentially an ef-3 with 135-mile-per-hour winds potentially lifting the tractor-trailer up into the air, 100 to 200 feet at least. here's a look at what happened, around 1:00 yesterday this is the line of storms, you can see how it coalesced, moved through dallas, these all showing where reported tornadoes are, at this point 13 reported tornadoes, of course, national weather service going out and assessing the damage and assessing to see how many tornadoes and what they were in terms of ef-2, ef-3, that's all done with the damage reports after the fact. but in addition to this hail was a huge factor and at dallas-ft. worth at the airport, 600 flights were canceled yesterday, so obviously going through flying to, flying around today with that makeup factor, certainly could be a factor and also 110 planes with hail damage at dallas-ft. worth reported this morning. so, what we're seeing right now, the problem is the setup that we've got today incredibly similar to the setup from yesterday. the only difference, the axis of it shifted a little bit farther eastward. you can see where dallas is, this all farther east, tennessee, kentucky, nashville, memphis, new orleans, under that threat, that's where the potential threat is today. but a little bit east. the same dynamics entirely, none of the low pressures or fronts are associated with the jet stream so there's no kind of progression to move them out, so another problem today. back to you guys. >> all right, alexandria, thanks very much. we want to move on to the trayvon martin shooting investigation, george zimmerman has hired a second attorney this morning to help prepare a defense if he needs a defense. that attorney told wofl tv in orlando that he is ready for the challenge. >> you know, if you look at the forces arrayed basically against george if you look at the media, particularly the national media, you look at the state attorney's office, the special prosecutor, fdle, the u.s. justice department and craig has been standing in there tall trying to stand up for this guy, i think it's time that we have just a little bit more effort putting the truth out and getting george's story out. >> in the meantime, we have the results of an analysis of the controversial 911 call that george zimmerman made the night trayvon was shot, at issue, did he use a racial slur just moments before he shot and killed trayvon martin. >> alina cho joins us now with all the details. we get to hear it first. >> that's right. and it's really difficult to hear, even when we play it back several times and you'll hear it in just a moment. good morning. you know, we do want to begin with the 911 call, very controversial, this is the phone call that george zimmerman made on the night of the shooting before the shots rang out. in it he can be heard mumbling something. some people say they hear him using a racial slur here, but candidly, very hard to hear exact i had what he's saying. listen very carefully to the very end of this clip. >> he's running. which way is he running? >> down towards the other entrance to the neighborhood. >> okay. which entrance is that that he's heading towards? >> the back entrance. >> what exactly did george zimmerman say there? we asked forensic expert tom owen to enhance and analyze that portion of the audio to see what he could glean, now owen says he believes zimmerman did not use a racial slur. but instead said f'ing clothing, we'll play it for you again this time owens' cleaned-up version and this time you'll hear it three times. listen. well, if you're listening for it, sure, it may sound like that. but we wanted to bring in another forensic expert. his name is ed primo and he did his own analysis of the very same clip. he sent us his version. he also enhanced and he says he believes that zimmerman did use a racial slur. listen to that version and, again, we're going to play it for you three times. [ inaudible ] so hard to decipher. the reason why people are paying attention to this, of course, is the reason why the whole nation is paying attention to this story. did zimmerman use a racial slurp as trayvon martin supporters say he did? and if he did, of course, for those supporters this could bolster the argument that this was a racially motivated crime, that this was a hate crime, so, you know, but very difficult to hear. very difficult to decipher. you've heard it now seven times. hard to say. >> i even closed my eyes to see if maybe i could just focus a little bit more. it is very difficult to understand. i want to talk a little bit about a friend of zimmerman's that appeared on soledad's show and what he said about crime in that community. >> again, everybody is taking small details of this story and using it to bolster whatever side they're on, right? so, we did speak to a man, soledad did, earlier this week, named frank taffy, neighbor of george zimmerman, he lives in the community. a former neighborhood watch block captain and here's what he said to soledad about crime in the area, watch -- >> we had eight burglaries in our neighborhood all perpetrated by young black males in the 15 months prior to trayvon being shot. one of those -- it would have been nine -- excuse me, there would have been nine, but george zimmerman through his efforts of being a neighborhood watch captain helped stop one in progress, documented in the 911 calls february 2nd, my house was being robbed, and george on his nightly rounds watched this burglary in progress, called sanford pd, waiting for them, and helped ensure that nothing bad happened to my house. >> so, if you listen carefully, you heard this man, frank taffy, said that zimmerman stopped a robbery in progress. did he? they did some digging in to this and according to sanford police records there were eight robberies in the housing complex prior to the trayvon shooting, four of them involved black male suspects. another four, unidentified suspects. now, there is also this 911 call dated three weeks before trayvon was killed. police were called to an address that matched frank taffy's address after people said they saw a black male near the home. but when police were called to the address, no one was there. >> one more piece of the puzzle that hopefully ultimately will be built for this case. >> that's right. >> if it ends up as a case. alina cho, thank you for that. >> you bet. ten minutes past 6:00 on the east coast, mitt romney three for three and he's more than halfway to a victory at this point. and rick santorum, said hang on, it's me going to be doing the sweeping soon. will it end? we'll talk about rick santorum's home state coming up. and a member of the president's inner circle seduced by a spy? the fbi quickly responded to a new british documentary that says, yes, you are watching "early start." allow natural gs to supply affordable, cleaner energy, while protecting our environment. across america, these technologies protect air - by monitoring air quality and reducing emissions... ...protect water - through conservation and self-contained recycling systems... ... and protect land - by reducing our footprint and respecting wildlife. america's natural gas... domestic, abundant, clean energy to power our lives... that's smarter power today. a living, breathing intelligence teaching data how to do more for business.

here's the deal, he's almost there, about to grab the republican nomination and the big prize was wisconsin last night at 42 delegates in total. those are critical winner take all delegates and the final count was romney, 42%. santorum, 38%. and then there's paul and gingrich. it's almost not worth mentioning i hate to say these days. in maryland 37 delegates. romney had 49% of the vote to santorums 29% of the vote and he took those delegates too, and in washington, d.c., 16 delegates at stake and it was a total routing, look at your screen, 70% in favor of romney. and do you know what, santorum is not even on the leaderboard there because he wasn't even on the ballot. so, that would mean he gets all the delegates there. and all told, it's a lot of delegates. almost 100. romney now is seemingly ignoring his gop rivals and sticking with the whole look-ahead strategy and zeroing in on the white house. >> the president has pledged to transform america. and he spent the last four years laying the foundation for a new government-centered society. i will spend the next four years rebuilding the foundation of an opportunity society led by free people and free enterprises. >> all right. well, here are the numbers that really count the very most. our latest cnn delegate count. and mitt romney is well past the halfway point. he leads 1144, but he's got 648. t 231 total delegates are at stake in another three weeks when there's the next set of primaries, new york and pennsylvania, by the way, will be the big kahunas when they go to vote on april 24th. cnn political editor paul steinhauser is live for us in washington, d.c.. you know, i feel like a broken record sometimes when i say, wow, he's got the momentum, but this seemed to be the one. please, god. this seemed to be the one, paul steinhauser, that was really going to deliver the momentum, the bragging rights and everything that needed -- that mitt romney needed to move on to the main race, the presidential rales. is that happening? >> it is happening. because the conversation, ashleigh, really is changing from romney, santorum, to romney, obama. we're really moving into a general election kind of conversation now. you saw that with the president's comments yesterday really going after mitt romney. but rick santorum, listen, rick santorum said he's marching on regardless, listen to what he said last night in pennsylvania where he had his hq. >> we've now reached the point where it's halftime, half the delegates in this process have been selected. and who's ready to charge out of the locker room in pennsylvania for a strong second half? >> and let's take a look at that calendar, ashleigh, you were just mentioning it, three weeks from now and that's an eternity, three weeks in campaign politics is an eternity, you have five contests and most look like romney country except pennsylvania, rick santorum's home state where his big leads in the polls did definitely disappearing. what santorum is doing is looking to the may calendar, more southern states, conservative, and he says he can do well, indiana, north carolina, and west virginia, on the 8th, nebraska, on the 15th, arkansas and kentucky, and on the 29th texas with a lot of delegates. and let's go back four years ago, president hillary clinton won states in their marathon. but barack obama still won. it's pretty much a done deal. >> and yesterday rick santorum i think the numbers were 72% of the remaining delegates nord to be able to clinch the nomination and by today that ncumber's almost 80%, it's getting tougher and tougher. i don't know if anybody was mentioning this, but there was a clear winner last night, someone did clinch a nomination last night. >> you're right. >> and no one seems to mention it. what was it, paul steinhauser, break the news? >> president barack obama went over the top, it was a nail-biter but he did clinch the democratic presidential nomination according to cnn. it was close. it was close. >> why do they bother with that? i wonder what's the point, why do people even turn out? >> rules are rules and they do have primaries on the democratic side because it's not just about the battle for the presidency, there are other seats up as well. that's why they hold these even when there's no contest on the presidential side of the party. >> paul steinhauser, great to talk to you, hope you get a break between now and three weeks. >> he's filling in, remember. >> 18 minutes past the hour. time to check the stories making news this morning. here's christine romans. >> dallas area surveying the damage from mother nature. as many as 13 tornadoes ripped through north texas yesterday. that powerful storm leveling hundreds of homes, lifting big rigs into the air. incredible video shows tractor-trailers, that's right, being tossed around like toys. one witness said the scene was like the "wizard of oz." for all that damage, guys, there are no reported deaths. a british documentary claims russian spy anna chapman was close to seducing an unnamed cabinet member in the obama administration. united states officials this morning are denying that claim. this documentary quotes a top fbi official who says chapman was so close to seducing the sitting cabinet member the bureau had to step in and warn him. it was 44 years ago today that civil rights hero martin luther king jr. was shot to death in memphis. the city is honoring king by finally naming a street in his name. they are designated a one-mile stretch of linden avenue. it's 20 minutes past 6:00 and still ahead, i'd like to see the debate between christine romans and joe biden, because joe biden has been making a promise that the president may not be able to deliver. all about gaffes, folks. >> gas prices. in the movie "minority report" actor tom cruise tracks down would-be criminals in the year 2054. >> nypd blue and white. >> reporter: police in santa cruz, california, are turning it into reality, they are using an algore it issam to predict crimes before they happen. >> people tend to burglarize more than one time, even during the same time of the day and the same day of the week. >> reporter: they generate hot spots each day letting officers know when and where a crime is likely to occur. >> there's a 60% likelihood of a residential burglary that we'll go to now. >> reporter: with police departments facing budget cuts across the country, the system gives them another tool. >> since 2000 we've lost 20% of our overall staff. >> reporter: santa cruz police say the program led to 13 arrests last year and they also saw an 11% drop in burglaries. the los angeles police department is also following suit, in three months, they found the algorithm twice as accurate as crime analysts in predicting crime. >> i really just see this as the future of law enforcement. ♪ ♪ why do you whisper, green grass?

>> i know. residents in texas are cleaning up today after as many as 13 tornadoes. they swept across the state yesterday afternoon, leaving a path of destruction. amazingly no deaths have been reported, but there was significant damage. including this twister that was caught on camera lifting trailers off the ground. some of them may weigh over 20,000 pounds and it just tossed them hundreds of feet into the air. america watched as the events unfolded live on television, and youtube and other social media flooded with amazing images of the storms. the details have become more clear as the national weather service and local authorities continue to survey the damage there. and joining us now from arlington, texas, republican congressman michael burgess of the state's 26th district who was in the area yesterday when the storm hit, so we're happy to see you. look like you're okay. exactly where were you when the storm hit? >> well, i was in my district office north of the airport. this is south of the airport where clearly the zone of destruction is much larger. but it -- you know, the pictures we've seen on tv that have been replayed all night really attest to the power of this storm as it came through. this is a densely, densely populated area here, so this is one of the things we always fear. this could have been of a much worse event thanks to all the people who worked so hard to prepare for this. thanks to our weather forecasters who told people what was coming and to get out of the way. it's just amazing to me that the damage as severe as it is that the loss of life was not staggering as well. >> no, we're certainly happy to hear that as well. what did you experience when the storm hit? >> where i was, it was hail and heavy, heavy rain. we really couldn't see anything. it's not like you could look out and see a twister on the horizon because the rain shield was just so intense. the lightning was intense and the hail was pretty brutal as well. >> you know, we're taking a look at a tractor-trailer there, a trailer that was actually lifted up and, you know, flying through the air. it actually looked like a toy and i heard somebody say that there was a cloud of debris also. but luckily there are not many injuries. >> that's correct. and, again, credit to the people who were forecasting, the first responders in the area. obviously there's a lot of work that's going to go on in about an hour's time when daylight comes here. a lot of assessment needs to be done, but we're all so thankful this morning. this could have been much worse. >> no, absolutely. you represent the 26th district of texas, it includes ft. worth but not dallas, what are the reports you're getting from across the area. what kind of damage are they -- >> the things that i -- >> thank you. >> well, the cities that i represent really fared okay. but obviously there's a lot of damage around. >> and what kind of cleanup and recovery efforts are under way right now? >> well, i mean, as you can see from the home behind me, i mean, this is going to require a lot of work. the amazing thing is, this is a very densely populated neighborhood, there was not more damage. so, the damage is sporadic and it's going to take a while for people to go through and sort through where the storm tracks were and where the damage occurred. >> we know that in about ten days here you're hosting a summit for preparedness. is this kind of crazy weather, something that you're used to in the area and that's why perhaps we don't see more people that were hurt here or perhaps even lost their lives? >> well, no question about it providence played a big role in there not being more damage than there was as far as the human toll. yes, we do a preparedness summit every spring. this is -- this is texas, in north texas. if we didn't have crazy weather, we wouldn't have any weather, so you do have to know about what can come your way during the months of the spring months in texas. >> well, congressman, we certainly wish you a lot of luck with the cleanup efforts in that area. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> boy, and isn't that the word of the day, providence playing such a big role. such luck for them as well. >> and, yes, north texas is a tough place to be when those sirens go off, you know it. >> alexandria yesterday was saying they are used to these kind of crazy shifts and swings in weather but i was curious about all the volume of tornadoes that they're seeing is that something that happens. >> when i lived there we used to say the tornado belt was north of us, oklahoma and the like. and i tend to think that now the tornado belt can certainly include north texas. >> it seems that things are shifting. >> certainly. 36 minutes past 6:00 on the east coast, up next, are you ready for these tools? someone called out for a scissors, flashlight, and a vodka, do you think they'd be delivering a baby? because a hero flight attendant did just that with the help of a couple of friends. and look at the smile on both of them. first, a quick check of the weather with alexandria steele. hi, " wrs, alexandria. >> if you are traveling to texas you may be impacted with travel. 600 flights canceled at dfw, over 100 planes damaged with hail damage. here's the bull's-eye, farther east than yesterday. tennessee really in the bull's-eye, memphis, nashville, down towards new orleans and birmingham, wet snow in northern new england, no accumulation there. milder in the northern plains and rain and mountain snow in the pacific northwest. of course, more on the texas tornadoes and, again, the bull's-eye today, where it is and what we could see all coming up right after the break. [ monica ] i'm away on a movie shoot and it hasn't been going exactly as planned. [ director ] cut. cut! [ monica ] i thought we'd be on location for 3 days -- it's been 3 weeks. so i had to pick up some more things. good thing i've got the citi simplicity card. i don't get hit with a fee if i'm late with a payment... which is good because on this job, no! bigger!

[ foreman ] so i can always count on them. unlike randy over there. that's one dumb dude. ♪ the new claim satisfaction guarantee. dollar for dollar, nobody protects you like allstate. good morning, miami. beautiful morning. 75 degrees as you wake up, and later a couple of clouds will take away some of that heat, but you are going up to 88 degrees. could be worse, though, could have rain. doesn't look too bad there this morning. there's a move in florida today to speed up the review of that state's stand your ground law. that's the controversial law that's at the center of the trayvon martin killing. florida's governor rick scott says that he wants a task force to examine the law but not until after the trayvon martin investigation is complete. state senator chris smith says there's too much at stake to wait, so he's convening his own task force tomorrow. joins me now live from tallahassee. senator, thanks very much for being with us. i want to ask you what you hope to accomplish with your own individual task force that you're convening right away. >> well, i've assembled a lot of legal minds in south florida, states attorneys, public defenders, law professors and others that have been studying this law for the past eight years because it's been on the books way before the trayvon martin incident. and i hope to get all these legal minds together and look at the ramifications of what we've done and possibly come up with some changes to the law so that we can set the parameters of a civilized society here in florida. >> and i think a lot of people respect that, but at the same time might say, well, what's wrong with allowing the governor to continue with his move and his task force and why do you think the governor's waiting until the trayvon martin investigation's over? >> well, answer the first part, i don't really see a reason for the governor to wait. lives are at stake as you see from the trayvon martin case that this law is being used and even subsequent to what happened in sanford two weeks ago in miami a gentleman chased a robber a block down the street, stabbed him to death and was released and let go because of the stand your ground. so, this is a public safety issue, and to wait until after this one sensational case doesn't make sense. we're elected to act. we're elected to lead, not to wait and hide behind a case. but to the second part of your question, i really don't know if there's a motive for him doing that, but the problem is, you know, we're elected to lead and we need to lead now and not just wait for some case. >> do you see potentially senator smith using a very, very sensitive political issue right now to inflame something that really is a critical issue for a lot of people? there are a lot of people who are concerned about stand your ground but not necessarily perhaps because of this particular case. >> right. so and that's my point. this has been an issue before that case, and this is going to continue to be an issue, and so what i've assembled a legal mind -- >> why time it to the case? i think that's my point. i don't question your motive in actually questioning the law, because you were on record way early on back when this law got under way, you were on the record way early on with the statistics and you were against this law, so i can understand what your motives are. what i want to know is your timing, do you think it could be dangerous to time your task force at a time when there's such political heated rhetoric about this particular case? >> no. quite the contrary. i think now is the time. because of the trayvon martin case, a lot more people are learning about this law and learning misinformation about this law. i now have people throughout the state thinking, okay, i'm a homeowners association captain maybe i should carry a gun. there are a lot of people in the state saying i didn't really know i had this right to go out and provoke something and shoot someone, so there's a lot of misinformation, i think the timing is perfect and we need to educate the public and let them know the programmers of the law and see if we need to close in the parameters of this law because of all the publicity from the trayvon martin case, i think the timing is perfect to have a grown-up discussion and educate the public about this law and other things. >> one last quick comment, senator martin. and that is, what if the trayvon martin case ends up proving out in a court of law to actually represent a situation in which the shooter did act in a justifiable way according to law? i'm not suggesting that's going to happen. do not put me on record that way one way or the other. i think you know where i'm coming from. what if it turns out to be that george zimmerman did act in a lawful way on stand your ground and yet we pegged this entire hearing or at least this entire task force to this particular timing in this case? >> and that's the point and that's why i'm -- i'm kind of disturbed that the government's waiting. stand your ground has been used for eight years. and there have been questionable instances for eight years beyond the trayvon martin case, so even given the scenario just for argument, even if it turns out the way you say in the trayvon martin that it could, there's a lot more concern with this law that 22 other states have. and so the trayvon martin case has shone the light on this law that we must revisit and take a look at and maybe send a message to other states that you have this law on the books that can be misused in these ways. >> all right. >> no matter what happens in the trayvon martin case, this is necessary. >> senator chris smith, i hope you'll come back and join us and share some of your findings with us. great to talk to you the first time around and great to talk to you now and i look forward to our next meeting. >> you, too. soledad o'brien joins us now with a look at what is ahead on "starting point." starting in ten minutes on "starting point," we'll talk to senator john mccain he'll join us live. as you well know he was one of mitt romney's early supporters, after the sweep last night we'll ask him what is the strategy for mitt romney now. we'll take a look at a stunning new study about how kids view race, we talked to one little boy who is 6 years old and said his mother won't allow him to have white friends and i took the results of what he said straight to his mom and dad. plus the masters teeing off tomorrow in augusta national once again under pressure to allow a woman in, he'll tell you why it's even stronger pressure this time around.
