again, tonight, we will show you right here, live protest in new york city for what's being called quote, the million hoodie march, a reference to the hoodie trayvon martin was wearing when he was shot and killed in sanford, florida. new calls for the arrest of a noob hood watch volunteer that shot and killed the 17-year-old boy. martin was unarmed, walking from a convenience store to the home of his father's fiancee last month in sanford near orlando when george zimmerman shot him. he says he fired in self-defense after he felt threatened. something he would be entitled to do under florida law. today on cnn, one of zimmerman's neighbors came to his defense. >> george zimmerman is a good dude. he is straight up. that's why i am front-runner for him today. i, myself, credit george for thwarting a burglary to my own house. >> members of trayvon martin's family blame racial profiling for his death. the stanford police department is being scrutinized. police questioned the shooter after the shooting but didn't arrest him. today rg trayvon martin's parents, devastated mother says she still believes her son eventually will get the justice he deserves. >> it's a nightmare. it's hard to sleep. everything reminds me of him. the only thing that's fueling us to keep pressing on for justice is the fact that we know that justice will be served. >> let's talk now to norton beau na part, the city mannier of sanford, florida. on the city website, answering some questions about this controversial case, you wrote, the sanford police department has conducted a complete and fair investigation of this accident. do you stand by that? >> the sanford police told me they did conduct and complete their investigation. what i have done is the congresswoman asked the united states department of justice as law enforcement officials to come in and take look at it. >> that's an unequivocal sentence. the police department has con ku conducted a complete and thorough investigation. >> i did not review the report. i think it is only fair to have the state attorney have a chance. if they think it is not complete and thorough, they will be doing some additional work. >> you are in the middle, sir, of a national controversy that is getting global attention. you also write, as we move forward and strive to answer the questions that are a point of controversy in the community, we ask for your patience, understanding and assistance in getting the correct information to the community. that's an appeal to you for patience. the naacp says the police chief should be fired. congresswoman brown said he should be charged with federal hate crimes. are they wrong? should they stand back and let the investigations run their course? >> i think with the united states justice system, we have that in place to have the proper legal procedures take place. i think with the state's attorney now handling the case and the state attorney said that he is looking for a grand jury to convenient on the 10th of h april. these are the matters that would normally take place. it is important to allow that to take place. i know there is a lot of suffering, a lot of anger. we have a judicial process. it is fair to let it take its course. >> part of the controversy, at least one report that if you listen, at one point, they use a racial slur. have you listened to those tapes? >> i have listened to the tapes and i have not heard them use a racial slur. >> are you concerned that race has become an issue here? >> absolutely. this is, as you pointed out, something that's national. this has hit a cord in america. it happened in sanford but it is only reflective of things that have happened in other parts of the country. that's why i think it is so important this be addressed. >> the police chief reports to you. do you have confidence in chief leach. should he be on the job? >> what i have said and will continue to say is that i would like for independent law enforcement to review the actions of the sanford police department. based on that review, i will make a determination on what changes need to be made with the facts and information from a law eninformation agency. >> norton bonaparte is the city manager. i appreciate your time. let's take a look at how mitt romney's big win changes the race for the republican nomination. he wins illinois. the dark red is romney, the purple is santorum. the pink ish is newt beginning risch. 16 wins for romney, 10 for santorum and two for gingrich. that's the victory state by state. what matters most is this, the delegate map. it takes 1144 to win. look at governor romney, almost at the halfway point. almost at the halfway point. senator santorum is in second place, well behind. the next contest is the state of louisiana. santorum is favored here. let's assume that santorum wins, romney would still pick up some delegates. he is starting to have moo. the contest moves north, wisconsin, maryland, the district of columbia. romney favored in those. let's give them to governor romney and for the sake of a hypothetical argument, take away and give wisconsin to santorum. romney is past the halfway mark. santorum is closing in. here is where it gets interesting. you move back to later in april. you see here, santorum's home state of pennsylvania, new york and connecticut. if you click through what we expect to happen, romney wins up here, let's say santorum wins in his home state, the romney campaign is going to make a big push for pennsylvania, you give it to santorum in this hypothetical, you get to april and have romney approaching 700 and senator santorum well behind. all the way to the end after everyone has voted, into august, late into june, the voting, on the verge, look at this. for senator santorum to win after what happened last night in illinois, he would somehow have to find a way #. maybe he could win west virginia, indiana. we gave him wisconsin. maybe he could win north carolina. if he did all that, romney still clinches. the only santorum strategy of blocking romney, he would have to win california. many people believe that's unlikely. even that wouldn't be enough. he would have to also win in the state of new jersey. the governor, chris christie, is on romney's side. that would deny romney. most think that is implausible. that will be the debate as we head on to louisiana and beyond. as romney looks at this map and feels pretty good, this morning, he got some additional good news. >> my cell phone rang. i looked at it. it just said jeb. i picked up the phone and it was jeb bush. i didn't even have to ask. he said, mitt, i want to let you know, i'm endorsing you today. >> that is good news, the endorsement of the former florida governor. it has already been overshadowed by something one of romney's advisers said on cnn this morning. >> i think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. everything changes. it is almost like an etch a sketch, you can kind of shake it up and we start all over again. >> surprise, surprise, romney's rivals just couldn't resist the etch a sketch comment. >> governor romney, after he wins the primary will be like an etch-a-sketch, take whatever he said and shake it up and it will be drawn and he will draw a whole new picture for the general election. >> you could not have found a more perfect illustration of why people distrust romney than to have his communications director say that the etch-a-sketch allows you to erase everything in the general election. >> romney called a media moment to address the etch-a-sketch controversy. >> the issues i am running on will be the same, a conservative republican. i was a conservative republican governor and i will be running as a conservative representative nominated for president. the policies and positions are the same. >> can you make a promise to republican voters that you will not be staking out more moderate positions on the issues you have taken so far in this process? >> i think i just answered the question. >> an avail is more than one question. >> this wasn't an avail. it was a chance to respond to a question i didn't get a chance to respond to. >> bad news when the candidate has to clean up the campaign staff. gloria, maybe we will talk in a minute. jim acosta, more questions athe en. one question to try to clean it up. let's go back to the brighter part of governor romney's day, the jeb bush endorsement, one former governor. it sends a signal greater than that. >> an important former governor, very popular in the party. somebody who chose not to endorse around the florida primary, waited. so the question that you have to ask is, is this the beginning of other establishment figures to fall in line for mitt romney? how much it matters remains to be seen. is this the start of something? will that help mitt romney make the case that rick santorum, as you showed so well on the board, is he just a spoiler here, trying to keep romney from getting to that election? >> all these people that talk about an open election, they said, maybe jeb bush or chris christie would be our candidate? they are both for mitt romney. >> all on board. train is leaving the station. get on now. >> that's a personnel way to look ait. let's look at some math, mitt romney has about 562 of the 1144 delegates you need to clinch. senator santorum is 249. romney needs to capture 47% of the remaining delegates. senator santorum would have to grab more than 70% of the remaining delegates. the math gets more difficult by the day, almost impossible. >> the math gets almost impossible, particularly as you point out that mitt romney can sustain the moment couple he had last night if he wins some states coming up, particularly in april, which could be a very, very good month for him. if rick santorum were to remain in, the question would be, could he sustain a candidacy during what could be sort of an 8 to 10 week lull for him until you get to the end of the process where arkansas, texas, might be able to pick up more delegates. it is difficult to see how he would sustain any kind of momentum. until mitt romney gets do 1144, some folks are going to say, you are not there until you crawl across the finish line. >> what if santorum says it is impossible to get to 1144 even if he won 100% of the delegates. if we have a day like that, will people try to twist his arm? >> that will be. we have had many tipping points in this campaign. i think that would be another tipping point in which people would say, okay, look, there aren't enough delegates left for you to win a majority. what are you in this for, in other words, to be a spoiler? that will not help the republican party. maybe santorum would have to give it up. talking to his campaign, they say, relax. illinois was one state. we have a long way to go. i think the climb gets steeper and steeper. >> we are going to talk more later in the program. maybe they can find a way on their etch-a-sketch to find a way. former chief, michael hayden, wraps up the point of no return. an airline flight you will be very happy you missed unless you are one of the unlucky few to be stranded in alaska without your luggage. >> it was one thing after the other. it was unbelievable. it was the flight from hell. you couldn't believe it.

"x" for them is what is it do we intend to do about this? >> how long will they wait? >> that's unknowable. it may be unknown foto the israelis. as we go through this year, 2012, summer and approach fall, the window of opportunity the israelis have gets much, much smaller. the impact of a strike becomes a great deal less. >> you are talking about a closing window as we get the entrance of the presidential election. >> you couldn't make this up. you could write it in an exercise scenario and people would throw it out as being too fantastic. >> coming up, the truth about mitt romney and the etch-a-sketch. a blockbuster trade in pro football may be on hold. ok, guys-- what's next ? chocolate lemonade ? susie's lemonade... the movie. or... we make it pink ! with these 4g lte tablets, you can do business at lightning-fast speeds. we'll take all the strawberries, dave. you got it, kid. we have a winner. we're definitely gonna need another one. small businesses that want to grow use 4g lte technology from verizon. i wonder how she does it. that's why she's the boss. because the small business with the best technology rules. contact the verizon center for customers with disabilities at 1-800-974-6006. do about medicare and social security... security. that's what matters to me... me? i've been paying in all these years... years washington's been talking at us, but they never really listen... listen...it's not just some line item on a budget; it's what i'll have to live on... i live on branson street, and i have something to say...
