his energy plans, his jobs plan, the first stage he has been attacked and criticized for not having a plan and he s bringing it out today. he was on american morning an hour and a half ago and one of the highlights i thought was the comment about his wife. in south carolina making some interesting comments. take a listen to what she said and what he said this morning. it has been a rough month. we have been brutalized, by the press and brutalized by our opponents and our party. down on this as anita seemed? you know, family members always take these campaigns than the candidate. i have been doing this for a long time and that s a diversion, frankly. this is the big leagues. everybody understands it s about the presidency of the united states and we re committed to this campaign. you know, some pundits criticizing perry, is he really into this? perry says, yes, i am. kyra? we re also hearing more from perry with regard to the mormon issue this morning. he briefly t
u.s. service members who were killed in that korean war. they will hold these bilateral meetings like you just saw there taking place at the white house with the president. he will also attend a state dinner. jessica yellin was there in that room, as they spoke. i d like to see with a she thinks. jessica, if you re with us and you can hear me, let me know what you think the highlight was there of this appearance between the two presidents. well, the president i asked the president a question about both iran and about the economy and he refused, randi, to say how high up in the iranian government knowledge of this alleged iranian terror plot may have gone. there are a lot of questions about whether the supreme leader and the nation s president had knowledge. but the president did say that no matter how high up it went, the entire iranian government needs to be held accountable and that they have a very solid case and that they are gathering support for allied nations to ti
nomination. let s look at this poll everybody is buzzing about. nbc/wall street journal. it came out last night. on the top, herman cain former godfather pizza ceo. mitt romney the former massachusetts governor at 23% and rick perry you can see dropping down to 16% in this poll. now, kyra, one thing about this poll that was done before the presidential debate the other night and cain s advantage there, that four-point advantage that is within the sampling era. another poll came out last night. this is by reuters and this indicates pretty much a tie at the top. romney at 23%, cain at 19%. again, it s within the sampling error. herman cain catching fire in the polls national and state one reason is 999 that tax plan he has been talking about nonstop. he was the star or at least had the most attention at the presidential debate the other night. another debate, our own, coming up next week, kyra. also, paul, it s been a rough stretch for the president. so, what are we hearing f
with all that talk about the 999 plan last night, kyra. i thought it was the plug for the 9:00 show. no, you could probably read the thought bubble coming out of mitt romney s head last night. he was basically saying i could get used to this because so much of the attention at this debate was focused on herman cain, the former ceo of godfather s pizza. probably felt like one of his own pizza because his rivals that table were turning up the heat. jobs, jobs, jobs. herman cain find out what happens to candidates who shoot up in the polls. they become big targets. when you take the 999 plan and you turn it upside down, i think the devil s in the details. cain s economic plan and sets rates at 9%. also create a new 9% national sales tax. if i think it s a catchy phrase. in fact, i thought it was the price of a pizza when i first heard about it. here s what we need. we need something that is doable, doable, doable. it will pass. it s not the price of a pizza. it was
