very well. it was a good speech. also in iowa, michele bachmann and she s taking a swipe at herman cain this is the year when we can t settle. this is the year when we can t have any surprises with our candidate. we have to have a candidate that we can now when we put them into office, we can trust them with their record of what they have done and who they are. some congratulations in order. wedding bells are about to ring for vice president joe biden s daughter. she s engaged to a philadelphia doctor. and condi rice on the daily show last night talked about moammar gadhafi s obsession with her. when i got there, i thought, just get through your business, do the diplomacy, get out of here. and everything was going fine. and then all of a sudden he said, i have this video for you. and i thought, uh-oh, what is this? but it was actually just
jeanne, controversy involving at the time the republican frontrunner and they ve all seemed to have crashed and burned. whodz it help? mitt romney, the president? it does help mitt romney to a certain degree but not to a great degree because mitt romney really needs herman cain to stay in the race. he needs all of these second-tier players to stay in the race so that he can keep holding on to the frontrunner status and no one coalesces the people don t coalesce behind an anti-romney candidate. in theory, the beneficiary here should be rick perry and he s got ads up. we ll see as polls come out if he does start to benefit. but frankly, the speech he gave in new hampshire last friday that was a little odd and loose, that may actually undermine how much he could benefit from this particular moment. thanks to both of you. thank you. let s talk about washington s fight to slash the
people getting medicare payments and medicaid payments when they have not done anything for it. that s the kind of stuff we re doing. it takes time to go through that process, set up a vetting process and make sure we save the government s money. we re not wasting time here. we re working hard. congressman, we wish you well in that work, the american people are anxious and watching. thank you for being with us. thank you for having me. the lawyer for one of herman cain s female accusers has been asked to be released from that confidentiality agreement. big setback for julian assange who s been fighting to stay in england. a london court has ordered assange to be deported to sweden. there he s going to face rape and molestation charges. two women accuse him. but assange says he s innocent. he insists this case is payback
official today, probably january 10th. what s happening there? well, mitt romney has the overwhelming lead in new hampshire. our recent nbc marist poll had him at 44% higher than all other candidates. he s the very big leader in that race. but does he also make a play in iowa? we have seen that jon huntsman was pretty much putting all of his eggs in the new hampshire basket. i don t know if you were watching yesterday, mark, we had the huntsman daughters, this internet sensation that they ve become. now he s trying to maybe make a play in south carolina. that s right. he moved his campaign to new hampshire but he s in south carolina today. we has a lot of ground to make up across the country and also in south carolina, he was just at 1% there. so he s really trying to make up a lot of ground. and finally, herman cain is in virginia today. of course, it s all going to be about the sexual harassment charges.
the problem is most people aren t insured for their animals. you can get vet insurance. and i believe that last year, policyholders submitted about 64% more in terms of cost for policyholders from four years earlier. so costs for these vets are going higher and also costs for insurance are going higher as well. it all costs to have a pet these days. i didn t hear a word you said after you said, i have a lizard. thank you very much, mandy. thank you. we re waiting for herman cain to speak at a health care event in virginia and he ll probably have to talk about those sexual harassment allegations against him. one of his accusers wants to tell her side of the story now. there was more than one incident that my client perceived as sexual harassment. i think she s upset about his statement and would like the record to be balanced and clear. and rosemary arnold joins me.
