problems circle around the role of his third wife, calista. publicly supportive wife, but aides say privately a demanding one. >> gingrich's aides felt that his wife was making unreasonable demands on his time. she was very particular about the way she wanted things done. >> gingrich advisors say she even dictated the campaign schedule. refusing to allow early morning takeoffs for events so she could have her hair done. sources say she also demanded the campaign help arrange screenings of the couple's movies, produced by gingrich production, a for-profit company. there is even a link promoting the movies on the gingrich campaign website. the conflicts escalated memorial day weekend when his staff wanted him campaigning in south carolina. instead gingrich flew home to accompany calista to the opera at the kennedy center. a few days later, the final straw, the greek aisles. ignoring the pleas of his top aides. gingrich put his campaign on hold to go with calista on a cruise. 16 staffers resigned. >> of course they make decisions together about their schedule. it's their life. >> gingrich's campaign spokesman defends the strategy. >> the fact is this is newt's campaign. he's going to run it the way he thinks is best for america. >> many republicans wonder if gingrich can ever recover. >> he had one of the worst campaign starts and my guess is he's going to be done fairly soon. >> all this has had a devastating impact on fundraising when the first campaign reports are filed in the next few weeks. front runner mitt romney is expected to blow a away the field possibly reporting as much as $40 million. gingrich sources tell us he'll be lucky if he reports as much as $3 million. depending on how things go there could be some debts. >> those are reports on calista. what are you hearing if anything about how former staffers and what they're saying about the candidate, how he might be owning up to this situation? >> well look, ultimately this was gingrich's choice. he had to choose between what the campaign advise source wanted him to do and what his wife was asking. it's very clear what the answer was. he went with his wife. >> michael isikoff, thank you so much. we're joined by karen finny a political analyst who used to be a speck spokesperson for the democratic national committee. and brent littlefield a strategist with littlefield consulting. karen, let's start with you. can gingrich survive based on the money issues michael was discussing? >> it's not looking good. in addition to the money issues, there's a confidence issue. how are you going to attract donors, what kind of confidence are they going to have in the ability that this is a viable campaign. as well as campaigns need supporters. they need people to do the work. it's not looking good for newt gingrich there. >> it's one indicator is what you're saying when you look at money. >> yeah. >> moving on, jon huntsman we hear will announce next week. he's coming from his ambassadorship to china. does he have the right credentials to handle what voters care about now. we take a look at that question, brent, what do you think? can he handle the jobs and the economic challenges in front of us. >> i think everybody will be look at his record as governor, not so much his record as an ambassador. obviously that will be critiqued he took a job with the obama administration and now he's left that administration to challenge them. i think his record as governor will come under a lot of scrutiny. i think we'll hear more about that once he announces. it will be fascinating to see the people in his local area how they cast that governorship and the positives and negatives that will come out of that from the local media and the political operatives there. >> rick perry appears to moving closer to jumping in. here's what he said last night in new york. >> i want to see a new york state again a place where we have to be looking at what we're doing in the state of texas because people are leaving texas headed to new york. i want to see that type of competition again. but we'll never do it with a washington, d.c. that's making us all be one size fits all. that may work real good for gym socks, it doesn't work good for states. >> all right. gym socks is what he's talking about there. karen, what do you think? if he jumps in, how might this hurt romney, the front runner. >> i think the challenge is you've got a number of people trying to be the person holding the conservative mantle. romney has accepted he's not going to get that. romney is counting on people going for the viablity argument. saying he's our best chance of winning in the general election. the concern i have if i'm the romney campaign, rick perry gets in and that's going to pull off more of the conservative support that you're hoping to get again by convincing them i'm the most viable candidate. >> do you agree with that? splits the conservative vote? >> i think it remains to be seen. it's interesting that governor perry has a lot of support among fellow governors. they know him very, very well. that's a space that mitt romney came out of. he's been out of that game for a while. it will be fascinating to see how many of the current republican governors from around the country would rally to perry if he officially jumps in the race. and how many endorsements he racks up. they matter those governors can rack up grassroots supports from the conservatives, but they can provide financial support. i think we'll have to see how much that impacts the field and whether or not that would impact romney or not. >> the ground game is so important. karen, there's the issue of michelle bachmann. some are saying she got grade a in the debate two days ago. is she moving closer to the center of the gop right now? >> i don't think so. i think she's hired a couple of pretty good old hands, ed rollens would kill me for saying that. they managed her very well. they've been very calculating about where she speaks and when she speaks. she did do great in the debate. thr going to be very careful if how they reigned back many some of the more outlandish statements. i don't think she needs to move to the middle. she's got to continue to control her message. >> what do you think? >> i think she did very, very well during the debate. part of the reason she did so well is the media and folks set the bar so low in terms of expectations of what they thought she would do. as a result she came off look fantastic in that debate. she's definitely put herself up in there in field. it remains to be seen how many people watched that debate. of course, they were trying to target new hampshire voters. and there was a bruins' playoff game going on for the stanley cup. i think a lot of tv's were tuned into the bruins, some folks like me. in addition to trying to watch the debate. she did very, very well in the debate. we'll see what kind of bounce she gets in some of the newer polling related to the field. >> it was a great game, the bruins did fantastic, i must say. >> you weren't watching the debate? >> i had two screens up at the same time. thank you for being here. now that new york representative anthony weiner's wife is back home from her overseas trip, speculation is ratcheting up that his resignation could come any day. sources tell nbc news that weiner was holding off on many any decision until his wife returned. now the waiting game begins. who is going to kick him out of the house first? luke resz ert is live on capitol hill. huma returned to the couple's home in the middle of the night early in the morning. what's the latest that you're hearing. >> she got back from her overseas trip with hillary clinton about 4:30 a.m. this morning. that's what a lot of folks on capitol hill feel is the last piece of this couple. weiner had reserved the right to have a face-to-face consultation with his wife before he made any decision on his political future. his aide told me he is a man without a country in. the last 48 hours he's seen the president of the united states say he would resign. he's seen the leader of his party reiterate for a second time in four days that she should step down and do what is best for the collective whole of the house democratic party. you're talking to a lot of members. a lot of them say look, we understand he has the right to have a long drawn out ethics hearing, but he really is a distraction from the party. we're not allowed to get our jobs message through. we're not allowed to go after paul ryan's medicare voucher plan as democrats see that. there is a lot of distraction that anthony weiner is giving to the democratic party that they would like to absolve themselves of. that being said there will be some new developments today at 12:30 p.m. one of the women that anthony weiner had corresponds with over email is going to have a press conference in new york city. that will add more kerosene to the story. certainly will probably be some new calls of folks saying get out the door. that being said the only person that could get hymn out of the house of representatives is anthony weiner. nobody else has that power unless the collective body votes on getting them out. all eyes are on what his decision will be. we think from talking to folks up here if he were to resign, it would probably be many the next few days. honestly his colleagues don't want to see that anymore, richard. >> luke, thank you for the latest there on capitol hill on congressman weiner. thank you. . after 19 days of often gut-wrenching testimony, the prosecution rested their case this morning in the murder trial of casey anthony. the defense team began to argue for an acquittal. we go live to outside the courthouse in orlando. what happened? >> reporter: today the defense, richard, presented this motion for acquittal. they said that the prosecution did not have enough evidence to prove where, when or how caylee died. they said there was not enough evidence to prove for premeditation. and their theory that caylee had drown in a pool accidentally was not excluded by the evidence. judge perry disagreed. he denied this motion. he quoted the duct tape, he mentioned the chloroform. he talked about those internet searches making all of these items valid and said, yes, there's sufficient evidence for a jury to decide and not him at this point. now the case is rested until tomorrow when the defense beginning presenting its case. the big question out there is whether or not casey will be put on the stand. everybody's asking this question. >> lilia, also a part of this was a discussion about a tattoo. why was that brought up? >> reporter: well, yesterday we heard from a tattoo artist who said he's known casey for quite some time for seven years already. other than the fact that he tattooed bella vida on her back while caylee was missing. it's also significant what she told him. she had made an appointment on july 15th the day that caylee was reported missing that she wanted to go into his parlor on the 19th and he said that -- she said that she would bring caylee with her. so that could actually work towards the defense's case that caylee -- that casey was living on this surreal lie that she was not thinking straight telling this artist that she was going to bring caylee in. >> littlea in orlando, thank you. let's bring in susan fineman. thanks for being here. >> my pleasure. >> what did you think of how the prosecution did now that they rest snd. >> they did the best they could. they proceeded methodically. of course, there's a giant hole in their case, that's not their fault. given what they have, they made the most of it. >> they did well. that then bringstous the defense's strategy. if you're representing casey what would be your first move here? >> ill say i made a big mistake in opening statement -- no. >> that would be a lot to do. >> i would attack the forensics. i would go with a war of the experts. the forensics is the crux of the case. i would try ore fut and rebut every bit of evidence that the state put forward in the forensics of the case. i would do the hair, the chloroform, the smell of death, the larva, all the hard science. i would pierce doubt through that part of the case. then i would say, you know what? she may be a liar, she may be a bad mother, that's not proof of murder. the prof of murder part of this cates is in the forensics. >> how do you deal with the earlier claim if you're the defense here that the father molested casey, how are you going to work into that question was will casey take the stand? >> oops. oops. no. i think what they can do is they can try to skirt around that. because even if casey was molested as a child it doesn't mean that she didn't murder caylee. i never got that. that's to be saved for the mitigation phase if she's convicted. you want to say, look, she may have done this heinous thing, here's why and get some sympathy for her on one of the grounds of mitigation. i got to tell you, i don't like their strategy for casey's defense at all. >> we'll see what they do going forward. now the chief medical examiner saying that the debt was due to homicide. what can the defense to do deal with that. >> you don't know it's homicide. you don't have a cause of death. it's your theory, it's your belief. you don't have actual proof of it. it could have been an accident. but the problem is with all this other circumstantial evidence that the jury's already heard, it's hard to give casey essentially the bonus, the benefit if she did dispose of caylee and let her decompose that's why you can't find a cause of death. are you going to reward her for dumping her like garbage in a plastic bag? >> thank you for that. operation fast and furious. no fast cars here, a u.s. operation that went terribly wrong with hundreds of guns ending up in the hands of the mexican drug cartels. first a look at wall street. we take a look at the numbering right now, down over 135. some concern here about manufacturing data. again below 12,000. take a look at these live pictures. this as is we look at the uss carl vincent from san diego just returning after an historic tour. this is what the crew by the way buried osama bin laden at sea. today there's more fallout from that raid. we'll have more next. ients. so we seeded that into something much bigger... the home farming movement. join us at homefarming.com. until the combination of three good probiotics in phillips' colon health defended against the bad gas, diarrhea and constipation. ...and?
