that s the operative word, that is the key word for what i m going to talk about on shaun hannity s program tomorrow night. as far as a cabinet position, i m open depending upon who gets to become president, and what it is that they would ask me to do. i do not want a ceremonial position in anybody s cabinet. jenna: how young are you again? i am 66 years young. jenna: you have a lot of good years left in you. i know, i m probably only going to work actively nine more years. i didn t say 9-9-9, i said i m going to work nine more years. jenna: i knew it was coming. i just new it. it s nice to have you back with us mr. cain. it s my pleasure. jenna: we look forward to your conversation with shaun hannity tomorrow night. jon: will social security be there for him is the question. a manhunt underway for two people accused in deadly crime spree. they last saw them getting away in a high-speed chase.
in the eye rather than a anonymous call. it could be a challenge in the race ahead. we have a lot of great questions. kathy wants to know why can t have all the states have the same election on one day. that is great question for kathy. you all will stick around and we ll take more of your questions coming up in a moment. jon: we ll continue with our panelists in a moment but first president obama wasting little time. he is jumping feet first back into campaign 2012. what he s doing to try to take attention away from his gop rivals. there he is disembarking from air force one. plus police in l.a. slap the cuffs on a suspect in connection with that scary string of arson attacks. we ll have the very latest what is going on in that investigation coming up. when you have diabetes.
that is one of our big stories today on happening now. jon: all eyes on iowa just a few hours from now. the very first votes will be cast in the 2012 presidential race. good morning, to you, i m jon scott. jenna: hi, everybody, i m jenna lee. we re in the fox newsroom. happening now republicans in iowa are getting ready to gather tonight for for the all-important caucuses. this as the gop candidates do heavy-duty campaigning in the hawkeye state. jon: nearly all the republican white house hopefuls are there except for jon huntsman, the former utah governor. he is skipping iowa all together. most are spending the day clustering in and around the des moines area. newt gingrich is focusing on the eastern part of the state. frontrunner mitt romney wrapped up his final
