that is the blues anthem of the president's hometown, sweet home chicago. right on key yet again. >> that's his hometown. >> how do you say no the mick jagger. we turn to fighting words on the campaign trail right now. the leading republican candidates taking on the president on religion and faith. we're going to talk live to governor chris christie in a moment. first, john berman joins us. >> reporter: as for the debate tonight, one key republican close to mitt romney said, expect fireworks. he's been running for president for much of the last six years. now it comes down to just six days to determine his political future. what do you call a guy that has backer that outspent his opponents last month 5 to 1 who seemed the inevitable nominee just a few weeks ago. >> mitt romney is the comeback kid. >> reporter: he better be. he's trailed rick santorum in his home state of michigan. in a national gallup poll, santorum is up by 10 points. >> plan on winning. hope to win. >> reporter: the comeback plan? >> he's being seen for first time in many home. and his background and mine are different. >> reporter: being seen in homes with a lot of help from negative ads from romney supporters. >> santorum voted to raise his own pay. >> reporter: there are constant reports on his conservative views. like this 2008 speech suggesting satan is attacking america. >> if you were satan, two would you attack in this day and age? there is no one else to go after. >> reporter: that raised rush limbaugh's eyebrows. >> he'll have to deal with it. he'll have to answer. >> reporter: santorum faces reper rerepeated issues about sensitive issues. mitt romney blasted the white house as anti-religion. overnight, santorum responded to the attacks. >> i'll defend everything i say, because they come from here. >> reporter: later he added. >> if they want to dig up old speeches, they can do so. >> reporter: don't forget newt gingrich. he's been strong in past debates. some republicans are saying there could be another resurgence. and second, expect mitt romney to lay out parts of a newew tax plan as soon as today. it will be bolder and flatter than his previous plan. george? >> we'll talk to one of his top supporters right now, new jersey governor chris christie. thanks for joining us. >> thanks, george. >> let's talk about the religion comments. satan has his sights let on america and is making progress. he's not packing down. but he says it's not relevant. is he right? >> i think anything you say as a candidate is relevant. by definition, relevant. you're asking to be the president of the united states. i think it's relevant. i think people want to make an evaluation of anybody who asks to sit in the oval office. i do think that's what we should be talking about as party? no. >> you saw mitt rom any saying president obama fought against religion. that came after santorum comments. is this the debate they want? >> i don't think so. the fight against religion part of this goes more to the obama-care issue. i think that's an interesting conversation. an important one to have in the context of overall obama-care. what that will mean for the country if it goes forward. in the end, i think, what i see in new jersey, people want to hear about what are you going to do for the economy, how do you create more jobs, how do you put me and my neighbor to work so we can support our families? >> you introduced your budget in new jersey yesterday. you titled what you called the new jersey comeback. unemployment has gone from 10% to 9%. can the president make is same claim about the united states president that the united states is on a comeback? >> i'm sure he will. the people will evaluate the same way the people of new jersey will evaluate my claims. in 2009, we lost 113,000 private sector job. i said the new jersey comeback has begun. it's not comcomplete. we have more work to do. people made sacrifices. shared sacrifices. now shared benefits. >> with the income tax credit. >> sure. we're spending more on k-12 education than at any time in the state's history. we're doing the investments we need to. we're saying to the people, you made sacrifices. let's get you some money back. >> what happens if mitt romney loses in michigan? some are asking you, privately, still, to think about getting back in the race. is that true? >> yes. >> what are they saying to you? >> listen, same things they said before. i said i'm supporting mitt romney. i'm doing everything i can for him. ? no way, no how you're getting in. >> listen, i don't know how many times i have to sate. the answer is no. i'm supporting governor romney. i have gone to places around the country supporting him. >> why can't he close this deal? >> think part of sit the nature of the way we changed the rules. we voted against it in the new jersey delegation to go to proportional divisions. i voted no. i hope the people in the party who voted yes for that are rethinking their position. >> john mccain says this long campaign and the tone of it is hurting republican candidates. a new poll out showing the to the opening up an eight and nine-point lead over the governor and rick santorum rum spp this campaign hurting your party? >> i think it always does. i thing you saw wit the hillary clinton and barack obama battle as well. it was a much more competitive race as they continued to beat each other up. once we settle on a nominee. i think it will be fwompber romney by frill or so. i think it will be that early. i think he'll establish momentum. maybe not have the delegates in hand. but will clearly be the person who will get the nomination. then it will tighten up again. people say, okay, now i'm comparing mitt romney to the president. you'll see it tighten again. i'm not draedfully weadfully wot it. we should have never changed the rules. now we're creating problems we don't need. >> governor, thank you very much. >> thank you. now the new uproar over the stage collapse tragedy as a sugarland concert last year. now the lawyers seem to be suggesting that their fans are partly to blame. reena ninan has the story.

yeah, that hurts. it does anger me. >> reporter: the band's manager told abc news people want to point fingers and try to sensationalize the disaster. the most important thing to sugarland are their fans. the attorneys declined to comment and are seeking a jury trial. now to alarming new information about women and heart attack. a study just published found that you don't have to have chest pains to have a heart attack. when compared to those with chest pain, women under 45 without chest pain are the most likely to die. dr. richard besser is here. a lot of people, when i said that, they said, what are you talking about?
