here. they say that the race is very fluid. going into this debate tonight, you ve got a big chance i think for perry because newt gingrich is in the spotlight. for him to have another swipes at gingrich or to see how this thing with newt plays out. carrie dann, thank you so much. thank you. a woman who used pepper spray on black friday. the woman s lawyer said she did it to protect her teenage children. they were upset as other children tried to attack them. the family did not get an xbox after all. they left the charge. no charges are being filed against the woman. lindsay lohan is back in the news. you may remember this, the cover of her playboy shoot. there is more to the story. let s get those details. alicia, good day to you. good day to you. so the photos of the shoot were actually leaked online. you ve seen some of them and your take away is
he was running to the left of teddy kennedy in massachusetts in 1994 and he said flatly he wasn t for the reagan-bush policies, he was an independent, and he couldn t possibly have been for the contract because, how do you run in massachusetts to the left of teddy kennedy and have a beginning hitch contract? here s where the candidates are today. newt gingrich will open an office in iowa. jon huntsman will hold a town hall in new hampshire and all of the major gop candidates, except huntsman, will participate in a debate in des moines. good saturday morning to you, mark. good morning, alex. so who do you think has the most gain in tonight s debate? two people with the most to
the tension between gingrich and mitt romney, whose campaign has launched a full-blown attack against the former house speaker. nbc campaign in bed is joining me from des moines, iowa. good day, alex. reporter: how are you? great, thanks. i know you ve been traveling with the gingrich campaign so tell me about their strategy going into the debate tonight. reporter: that s right. we don t expect his strategy to be any different than he s had in the past. you know, gingrich does not want to attack mitt romney. we expect him to stay positive and stay on the message. he hasn t been knocked off it in any previous debates and candidates will be hitting him harder tonight, but he ll stay positive and as he says, stay on the high road. what about this new office in urbandale, iowa, and how does this differ from the headquarters in des moines? reporter: well, it s one in the same. he s opening officially opening headquarters. urbandale is just outside of des moines and him and calli
next few months, and his endorsement, again, everybody went to new york for it. so it means something. and i think the fact that if this debate goes off at the end of the year or not is not so much the point. the point is that he s going to be at the table. he s going to have something to say. he s got an issue that he wants addressed. and like you said, the banker may be we may be looking at our banker as china, but in terms of the gop. he should stay off the birther junk and focus on the stuff that matters strategically in this country. i think the birther stuff i don t think he s going to go down that route. he s done it more recently than he should have. here s an incredible response trump had to a fox news interview just this afternoon talking about president obama and whether he deserved credit for the death of osama bin laden. let s watch trump in action, national security expert trump. here he goes. let s talk about osama bin laden.
understand or care. it s it s good for insiders but in terms of can. mitt romney stop newt gingrich s momentum? i don t think it matters one wit. what about a pun on your name. i heard that. i wasn t going to go there but then i should say you should write for snl. anyway, supporters of mitt romney, his surrogates, they go after newt gingrich with personal attacks. so, take a listen to what of those surrogates osd a radio news show. he s a wonderful showman. he does a great job of throwing out those bumper sticker statements in a debate. i give him credit for that. he s got a great mouth. his mind isn t so hot. his discipline and commitment are terrible. romney says, look, i m not responsible for what supporters say and do. do you think he can pull off that line? i don t think he could, nor do i think he should. one mitt romney s big problems is coming off as genuine. it s a typical political trick
