over ron paul! romney s in third! now mind you only 13% of precincts are reporting there still an interesting start to that. then colorado, only 7% reporting, santorum has jumped out to a gigantic lead there 50%, to gingrich s 22, romney 19. don t take those numbers too seriously, they re just getting warmed up there. in another interesting note there, is that there was not a lot of exit polling done by the networks here, so the reason it s taking so long to get the actual counts and call these elections is because they re waiting for the count. now, normally they have the exit polls, etc. in this case they don t. you know who we have here? epic politics. mike joins us for this, our epic political correspondent. michael, i ve got more on the delgado counts there s a lot of interesting things going on. but a week ago if you said rick santorum was going to sweep these three elections they welfare run would have run you out of town. a week ago i said he would win minnesota a
nomination. mitt romney is still in front. newt gingrich has 38. rick santorum has 34 and ron paul, you see it there, has 20. dozens of syrians are reported dead today in a city under siege from its own government. this is homs, where anti-government activists say mortar fires from unseen attackers is almost constant. one says we cannot count the dead any more. i ll have more on this 11 will have month conflict and the choices facing washington in the west in our next segment moments from now. the white house is and congress are all too eager to support u.s. troops, but at the same time, the u.s. government might be able to further limit their legal rights. for more than 60 years, federal law has essentially barred military service members from suing the u.s. because of medical mass practice because of an injury or death on active duty. but government lawyers are trying to expand that, arguing the u.s. should be protected from malpractice lawsuits involving military famil
three biggest super pacs are republican controlled, including restore our future. it s closely tied to g.o.p. front runner mitt romney, and as of december, the last time it had to disclose its donation, the super pac had taken more than $30 million in, but how much it s raised between now and then anybody s guess. all secret. we have to wait until a filing. president obama has been a staunch opponent of super pacs, and the citizens united decision. but political reality has set in and he now says he will use them in his reelection campaign. why the about-face? senior democratic officials warn republican operatives like karl rove and wealthy g.o.p. dopers like the koch brothers will spend a half billion dollars to defeat president obama. so is president obama responding to a political reality or trying to have it both ways? democratic strategist donnie fowler joins us again in the war room and from washington we re joined by the organizer of national occ
the result are coming in, but we are with two great guests tonight, harmeet dhillon the chair of the san francisco g.o.p. and donnie fowler, who is head of dog patch strategies, the democraticonsultanan glad to have y y bothh h hee to ght insini tt wsi room t aaroo a wehe outckutheesestss thehe comen.n. as yououanan see w w he t t board from missouri up. there s only one percent of the precincts reporting. santorum at 38% romney at 35, this has just switched within the past minute or so. only a few thousand votes in. it is predicted that santorum is going to win this. you notice that gingrich is not on the ballot here, so my first question is, is missouri really the state that is the best indicator of what the anti-romney, the anticonsolidated romney vote might look like in someone like rick santorum? harmeet, what do you think? i wouldn t put it that way governor, i think missouri is a very strong state for santorum because of its high percentage of he evangelical vote h
er s campaign. and they have done some serious damage especially to newt gingrich. and will president obama encourage people to donate to his super pac? absolutely. we see carl rouge, the koch brothers, and others raising upwards of a half of million dollars to try to defeat the president. all right. so they decided, we re not going to do unilateral disaroundment here. this is going back on his pledge, and there are some people who are upset about it. and one is this former senator. well, i think it s a really interesting question and i can see both sides of this issue, and so what i want to do is bring in two people on two different sides here for both people who want the right thing here for the country and care about this issue, but have two different perspectives. ian millhowser and bob edgar, who has been working on this for a long long time. first of all welcome, guys and bob, i want to start with you. tell me why it doesn t be unilateral disarm
