abc's john hendren is on the story. john, good morning to you. >> good morning you to, dan. if sarah palin is trying to stay on the spopoight it's working. first on the day mitt romney goes to new hampshire and announces he's running for president, she shows up. and then does the same to john huntsman when he shows up in a motorcycle rally in a leather jacket. now casting her shadow on michele bachmann. >> reporter:s it a'the momma grisly versus the tea party titan. monday, michelle bachmann returns to her birth place, waterloo, iowa. to begin her campaign for president. one of the secrets for the race. >> i filed to seek the office of presidency. >> reporter: 100 mile as way. sarah palin will attend the tuesday debut of "the undefeated" a documentary of her career, a campaign ad. some say palin is violating political etiquette. >> the unwritten rule, you don't step on somebody else's announcement. she doesn't seem to care. >> reporter: on the surface they're allies. >> we need to return michele bachmann. >> reporter: they are also natural rivals. two high profile women splitting support from the tea party. >> tea party americans you're winning. >> reporter: political analysts say it is bachmann who is being taken seriously as a candidate. >> i don't think there's room for both of them. sarah palin seems to be acting more like a celebrity. and back man is acting more like a candidate. >> reporter: that's especially true after her commanding performance in a presidential debate. >> president obama is a one-term president. >> reporter: bachmann has a political title, congresswoman. and deep pockets, she raised a staggering $13 million more than any house member. palin has a campaign style tour bus. no official title. >> governor sarah palin from alaska. >>. >> reporter: and a reality tv show. >> don't retreat, just reload. >> reporter: if she keeps stealing the spotlight from fellow republicans, it may be palin who is taking fire. political odds makers are betting against palin getting into the race. if she does get in, it will come at the experience of her tea party rival. thank you. now let's bring in christian amanpour who joins us from washington, good morning you to, christiane. >> good morning. >> we don't know what sarah palin's future plans are, but michele bachmann got the boot. a new poll shows her neck and neck with mitt romney. t is a very respected poll, the des moines register. what it's really showing, now everybody has been saying, really since her performance at the republican debate, that she is emerging as a force to be reckoned with and particularly there ininowa, which is such an important state in the early part of the race to get the nomination, so, it's good news for her. what also did show, was that it was not such good news for tim pawlenty, who also invested a heavy amount in iowa, came up with just about 6%. it's still early, still a huge amount of scrutiny to be leveled at michele bachmann to really pin her down on issues, but certainly at the moment. reckoned with. as a force to be >> meantime the issue at hand, i want to turn to the impasse over reducing the federal budget deficit. talks broke down over tax increases. president obamamcalled leaders for both parties for a meeting tomorrow. we know, the clock is ticking for raising the debt limit, quickly approaches. what can the president do to craft a compromise in his meeting? >> that's a question a lot of people are asking. it does look like the debate, really in terms of how it's handled, the republicans seem to have the upper hand, if you like, in the negotiations, the president, administration, vice president who has been leading these talks up until now, the vice president, have been basically saying that they're trying to do what they need to do to make, quote, tough choices but they won't, quote, balance the budget, as they say on the back of the poor, the elderly, the middle class. they say the republicans need to give a little bit. so, what clearly is all boiling down to is the issue of taxes. the republicans say that no new taxes, tax hikes are simply nowhere to be seen on thetable. and the democrats are saying we're not going to cut our way to prosperity. that's the phrase that president obama used in his radio address. >> that's right. both guys have dug in their heels. christiane, we'll have to leave it there. we have much more on the impasse later this week. we'll be sitting talking to two members of congress, senate minority leader, mitch m monnell and house asssstant minority leader james clyburn. >> sounds like another good show. there's another huge stories that centers around this question. have we reached a tipping point on gay marriage?

new york's marriage equality act didn't just bring gay marriage to the empire state, it brought new hope that the fight for same-sex marriage may gain attractions on a national level. >> it's clear momentum is building on our behalf. it's an inevitablity. it's no longer a question of if, it's more you an accurate question of when and how. >> reporter: in new york, some positive signs for proponents. the bill passed with bipartisan support. and big republican donors who supported the cause. both corporations and labor unions threw their support behind it and public perception nationally, more enduring news. 53% of americans now say they support gay marriage. 15 years ago, 27% were in favor. >> it is increasing acceptance, it is increasing awareness. it's part of a larger debate and dialogue we're having. opponents say the fight is not over yet. there will be attempts in new york to repeal the law and those opposed raise a lot of money. the message resonates with older americans much more likely to vote than younger voters. in fact, every time gay marriage has been voted on by a state's population, it has lost. in california and maine, voter referendums repealed same-sex marriage laws. 41 states they were able to pass law restricting marriage to one man, one woman. the big issue on the horizon, california's prop 8, which overturned same-sex marriage is on its way to the high court. one thing is clear, america's attitudes continue to change. >> the shift is broad based. remarkable so societal revolution that's going on right now. it is reflective of a civil rights movement going on in this country, that has been for the past decades. >> president obama said his attitude towards gay marriage is evolving. we expect the gay marriage debate will be part of the republican presidential primary, especially when you consider iowa and new hampshire, both allow gay marriage. >> okay. the debate will go on. t.j. appreciate it. let's check the other headlines. ron claiborne is here for that. good morning. >> good morning. the death toll from the fiery train crash climbed to six. investigatorer es now say there's evidence the driver did try to stop his truck before it slammed into the side of the speeding amtrak train. abc's lisa stark has the details. >> reporter: in the middle of the nevada desert, investigators comed thrhrgh the charred wreckage, looking for r ues. >> our mission is to find ouout what happened and why it happened and recommend changes to present it from happening again. >> reporter: the big mystery, just why did a semi truck speed into the amtrak train?
