all right. she s got a pretty good swing. everything about the presidential candidates is getting scrutinized these days. even the dance moves. michele bachmann still showing off last night taking a spin with her husband on stage at a rally in iowa. the candidates fashion choices also get a lot of attention from the public as well. cnn s jeanne moos explains. reporter: it s not exactly a priel miscarriage prime marry concern when a normally buttoned up candidate starts wearing jeans. all pause allowed. reporter: he risks evoking the dreaded m word. lately s there s been some talk on twitter. mitt romney stumbled into wearing rom genes. the co creator of the daily show went so far as to tweet, i think mitt romney wears lady wrangler jeans. there s a family affair. reporter: but romney s mom jeans look like tights compared to the ones president obama once
at the winners and losers and dan lothian and david mattingly looking ahead to the battlegrounds that are now more important than ever. all right, let s start with dana bash. dana? well, we have some potential news this morning about what this caucus has did to the field on the republican side. michele bachmann who, of course, came in a disappointing sixth, effectively dead last here in iowa is going to hold a news conference in a few hours. her campaign is not saying what it is about, but it is hastily arranged news conference. it is hard to imagine that she s going to have something and not give us news about the future or maybe lack there of of her campaign. so, kyra, we re waiting to see exactly what she says. obviously, she is somebody who was one of those who is riding very, very high in iowa. not that long ago. she actually won the first contest here. the ames straw poll only to see her popularity absolutely plummet in the last few weeks. that will be probably, poten
democrat in huge proportions over men, without it they know they can t win, that s why they have to come out against michelle bachmann, sarah palin, other strong conservative women and try to destroy them before they can gain any traction. martha: then you have 34re9s look at this cover of newsweek which has gotten a ton of attention and it has sent all different kinds of messages, this is sarah palin on the cover with the banner, i can win, she s wearing a hoodie sweatshirt, you can see it for yourself. it s interesting, the christian science monitor says this shows her as unpresidental and that she doesn t want to run. they re saying this kind of photo means she s not in the running, and my mind goes back, because you always have to think about the double standard, i think of john kerry on the wind surfer and president bush on his mountain bike and his workout clothes, it s a mixed message. it is bizarre and a double standard the way they look at women s fashion choices to try to
the paris fashion week, despite his abrupt departure. paris fashion week is already under way. there s one show that s really turning heads. that s because it starred a pop icon and fashion week, lady gaga. she strutted herself on the catwalk last night for fashion house and cnn was there. she s no stranger to being the talk of the town, of course. as he appeared at the mtv music awards last year wearing a dress made entirely of meat. the more recent outing last month s grammy awards here. she emerged to sing born this way. she put on a show. and the pop singer is certainly has well-known for her fashion choices as her songs. but who comes up with the bizarre outfits and one of a kind headpieces? cnn s monita rajpal caught up with gaga. paris fashion week, monita?
that s fine with me because the oscars used to be the last word, but now, they re the word after that. we know who s going to win. the fashions are interesting. the best dressed one was the 14-year-old girl from true grit. that s bad that we have to talk about a 14-year-old s fashion choices. that is pretty sad. she didn t win, but looked fantastic and she definitely wouldn t have said what melissa leo said. i think the hosts were a problem. traditionally, oscar is hosted by comedians who know how to deliver a punch line. in this case, there was terrible material and james franco was zoning out and anne hathaway would compensate. this was the worst one since rob lowe and snow white.
