coming in way ahead of second place finisher ron paul. jenna: molly line with the wrap-up. molly, romney and paul achieving a measure of victory but south carolina is very different place than new hampshire. what are they saying about moving forward? >> reporter: exactly, jenna. first and second these men and moving forward to south carolina. both have a lot of optimism. mitt romney knows he will face a number of tax. their campaign is expecting negative advertising. mitt romney weighing in fighting back against the attacks he received from his rivals. former speaker newt gingrich and texas governor rick perry who believe they have gone after him with the democrats and same way barack obama has attacking the american system, american capitalist system. rick perry actually saying this morning of romney he was involved in vulture capitalism. romney finished fourth in south carolina in 2008. he is hoping for a much better finish this time around. listen to mitt rom nil this morning on "fox and friends". >> i hope they will be different. i can't be sure of that you're right i have a uphill climb in south carolina given my track record there. i got a great boost from new hampshire last night. very solid win. iowa as well gave me a boost. i have to get down to south carolina. i will be there today talking about my vision. >> reporter: ron paul also feeling very hopeful as he moves south. he has a let of young supporters. here in new hampshire he captured 47% of the youth vote. he says he is the guy, one guy that has the real cut to taxes in his plan. take a listen. >> i'm pretty conservative. i'm only one offered a real cut in the budget. everybody else talks about cut of those proposed increases which makes no dent into our problems at all. when they understand that i'm willing to cut a trillion dollars out of the budget and move forward and change our ways, an even talk about things that are very important like monetary policy because that is what encourages politicians to spend money, i think they're going to respond very favorably. i imagine the polls have just gone up in the last 24 hours. >> reporter: they all move south today. south carolina. rick perry has already been there of course. it will be very interesting. we're expecting a lot of heat on this race in the upcoming week and a half before voters go to the polls there. jenna. jenna: speaking of polls we have a little bit of time to digest the exit polls in new hampshire. what are they telling us was the key to victory there? victory depending who you're looking at and maybe give us some insight about what they tell us about the race ahead? >> reporter: look what happened with mitt romney of course the winner here in new hampshire and exit polling, folks that voted in the gop primary this year, political ideology, 39% said they were moderates, 48% were somewhat conservative and 33% said they were very conservative. it is interesting and enlightening. it still provides a little bit of mister because we don't know if they're the same type of conservative in south carolina. they're generally perceived very different. fiscal conserve in northeast and new hampshire and social conservatives down south. we'll see the results at end of next week, jenna. jenna: independents can participate in south carol land as you can in new hampshire. you have this other variable too. molly thanks for the wrap-up and all the great reporting last couple days in new hampshire. we'll be back to molly throughout the election season. depend who you talk to, some are calling what happened in new hampshire a very disappointing night for newt gingrich. the former speaker finishing fourth in the new hampshire primary but just moments ago newt coming out swinging what his camp billed as a major speech rallying voters in south carolina ahead for the next political contest. take a listen. >> this primary is at its crossroads for this country. we have to nominate someone capable of standing up and telling the truth against barack obama. i believe if we had a republican house, a republican senate, and a gingrich presidency, it would be a amazing how much we could get done and how rapidly we could get it done. [applause] jenna: newt in his own words there. newt blaming his recent fall from frontrunner status on attacked as from romney backers in iowa. maybe a factor to watch going into south carolina, jon. >> that candidate, mitt romney posted a solid victory last night. he may finally be shaking with that the fragile front run are label, becoming the first nonincumbent ever to win both iowa caucuses and new hampshire primary. tonight he set his sights on president obama. >> the president has run out of ideas. now he is running out of excuses. [cheering] but you know, you know that our campaign is about more than replacing a president. it is about saving the soul of america. this election is a choice between two very different destinies. president obama wants to fundamentally transform america. we want to restore america to the founding principles that made this country great. when it comes to the economy my highest priority as president will be worrying about your job, not about saving my own. [cheers and applause] jon: apparently that is what voters were looking for in new hampshire. when republicans chose romney, someone who can beat president obama they said in our fox news exit polling. that's the quality that beat out experience, moral character, and conservative credentials. drew cline, editorial page editor at the union leader in new hampshire. drew, thanks for being with with us. must have been kind of a short night for you, huh? >> yeah it was pretty short. jon: it was interesting when we saw the results of that exit polling the top candidate quality that voters were looking for is someone who can beat president obama. in that regard they seem to feel that mitt romney is their guy. >> yeah. when you look at new hampshire, typically the top thing people look for is strong leadership and you know, you saw yesterday they were looking for somebody who can beat obama and i think what that says is, you know, that romney did work hard. he got a solid win in new hampshire. not to take away from that but the reality is he won by default more or less. the people looked at other candidates, gosh, we might like where they are better than we like where romney is but we don't feel like they would match up as well against the president. so it has to be romney. jon: a lot of talk has been made and a lot of ink has been printed about dissatisfaction with the republican field but you know, our post exit polling didn't find that to be the case. we asked if you're satisfied with the candidates, this is new hampshire only poll, and 66% of those in new hampshire said yeah, we like this republican slate. now 31% said they didn't. that is about a third but, seems like a pretty good, pretty solid number this early in the primary process. >> right and that didn't mean to suggest they were looking at these guys saying oh, they're all terrible but it was just a matter of looking at your options and i think a lot of people were very, very familiar with mitt romney. he has been here for five years campaigning there is lot of familiarity with him. he did the right things in terms of staying on message. i mean romney was incredibly disciplined at staying on message, talking about the economy and jobs and reforming regulations and he went to events. he didn't trip up too much. didn't make mistakes. the other candidates, they had strength and weaknesses but nobody was as good a campaigner as mitt romney was. that really helped him tremendously. again, you look at these other candidates and i can see why a lot of the voters, a lot of republicans i talked to voted for romney said, gosh, you know he is not really where i want him to be. i don't really feel compelled to vote for him. i don't feel drawn emotionally too him but, i don't know where else i'm going to go. so they went and cast a ballot for him. drew cline is the editorial page editor of the union leader there in new hampshire. you finally can get some sleepy suppose after a long campaign season. >> i will tell my boss you said i could have a nap. jon: sound good. thank you. >> word from jon scott travels a long way. we want to pay attention what is happening in politics today but also bring up to date what is happening around the country. out to california where we have new video of a house fire in burbank, california. this fire starting a little over 20 minutes ago in burbank. early morning, 7:45 is when the fire started west coast time. it is a single family home. one woman has been treated for burn injuries. more than two dozen firefighters on scene. we don't know why the fire started, some of the specifics. we'll work on details and bring up to date. you can see the firefighters working on the scene. quite a fire if 26 are there working it. meantime we'll take you back to washington, d.c. where we're awaiting the president. he will announce a new tax proposal meant to increase american jobs. comes a day after the vice president, joe biden, told new hampshire democrats that the president will be a middle class advocate. chief white house correspondent ed henry is live at the white house with more on this. ed, the president is hosting an event part of this announcement. tell us about that. >> reporter: that's right, jenna. they're talking about insourcing. we heard jobs outsourced whether mexico or china. american companies shipping jobs overseas. both candidates in both parties criticizing that over the years. the president today wanted to highlight american companies that at one point shipped jobs overseas and decided let's go back to america. we have a better workforce there. maybe there are other parts of the playing field they like. as you mentioned the president will be referring also to some tax incentives he may be introducing in the weeks ahead to encourage more of that. last night as you mentioned vice president biden while all eyes were on new hampshire and what the republicans were up to, vice president biden was speaking via webcast to new hampshire democrats and made clear this line we've heard from the administration about a fair deal, fair shot for the middle class will be front and center. take a listen. >> we have one overarching commitment, to give the middle class a fighting chance, a fighting chance to maintain a financial independence, to give them a fighting chance to reach the aspirations they have. a fighting chance to get the kids to school. a fighting chance to live in a decent neighborhood. in a nutshell, that is what this election is about. >> reporter: when you talk to administration officials one place where we're lookly to hear a lot about this is later this month when the president delivers his state of the union address to the congress and also to the nation. he will likely lay out some of these tax incentives to bring more jobs back here to the u.s., jenna. jenna: something we'll watch carefully for, ed. meantime mitt romney on the campaign trail this morning hitting the president on issue of class warfare. does the white house have any reaction to that? because obviously a lot of talk about the middle class but also talk about class warfare in general? >> they basically say they will keep moving forward with the same rhetoric and same policies we've heard from this president. in fact it is interesting because this insourcing event i was talking about, was talking to an obama campaign official who is saying this is not so subtle shot essentially to mitt romney because of bain capital and all the stories that we've been hearing among republican field in recent days about bain capital not just pushing americans out of work but pushing and outsourcing some jobs overseas. this event here at white house, not so subtle shot at romney. interesting because that up sets the romney camp. a few moments ago on our air i heard newt gingrich saying in south carolina attacking bain capital, americans need a fair share, fair shot. that is same rhetoric from the president. that is why it is infuriating mitt romney, jenna. jenna: we picked up on the subtlety. we have a segment coming up who is the middle class? everyone talks about the middle class. >> reporter: how exactly do you define it? jenna: weigh we want to know. mike santoli from "barron's" will join us after the commercial to talk about. thank you. jon: we have a segment by a political analyst who criticizes what mr. gingrich was saying about mitt romney and some republicans in the race. anyway a assassination in tehran. a top nuclear scientist blown up in his car. guess what? the iran blames the united states and israel for the bombing. we'll talk to a former cia officer to talk about what is going on there. jenna: she is only five years old. what this star of the show, todd letters and tiaras. a favorite of jon. you never miss the show? jon: tivo. jenna: what this girl was doing in a new york city nightclub. jon: health risks so things most of us have, new study says they might not be doing you so much good. ♪ table nutrition? ♪ [ gong ] strawberry banana!

[applause] what defines us as americans is our unwaivering conviction that we know it must be better and it will be better. [applause] jenna: mike santoli, associate editor of "barron's" magazine. this question brings up another question, who exactly is the middle class in america? >> what is interesting about americans, i think the vast majority of people self-identify being part of the middle class. whether their annual income shows them near the median level or not, i think, almost synonymous with ordinary americans or these other kind of platitudes you hear out there. honestly i would say it is largest chunk, single if chunk of people, whether it is middle 40% of income or something like that but i think one interesting thing too, you have at least enough mobility in terms of income over a lifetime, that, at some point or another everybody, or large percentage of people were middle class. jenna: looking to see for the one definition. we hear all the definitions of what is rich over $250,000 per household income. the census bureau doesn't have a definition for middle class. there is no actual income number that determines the middle class americans. if that is the case, how do you actually develop policies that target this group if you really don't know exactly who they are? >> i think in general you could probably say that it's people who have a job, who are kind of self-supporting, at least for the most part. and will actually need retirement income. the government retirement programs, or something like that. somebody who is not in the top couple of percent that is going to be essentially indifferent whether they get social security. jenna: what specifically could the president do between now and election time that would tar get the middle class? that would help upward mobility happen. >> things feed directly into it in terms of policy, payroll tax extension. that really captures the middle class? >> why? >> it is in their paycheck every week or month, it is basically going to bes is more taken out or less? and so that is something that really does capture a broad percentage of everybody who is working. now, the other things i think are kind of softer, in other words are we on the path to makeure social security is self-sustaining over the long term, things like that? i really do think that what will matter most to the average person as i say, most people think they are in the middle class or at least want to tell surveyors they are, is the economy perceived getting better or not. not a matter of getting great or jobs more available or bedrock things i think are part of the public psychology. jenna: one of the things we will hear a lot of middle class is slimging. >> yes. jenna: on one hand reason they're hope by both sides. there is reason to be concerned for shrinking middle class. >> sure. jenna: is the middle class actually shrinking in this country. >> by he have did is that middle segment is the miffed dill segment. that gets to stagnation of earnings over a long period of time. it has been going on for 30 years. that middle slice, that very specific median income level in real terms adjusted for inflation has not increased. jenna: why? >> many reasons. we have depletion of what used to be pretty easy to get high-paying manufacturing jobs. globalization, outsourcing of jobs to the rest of the world, et cetera. you have had skewing of income growth to the very upper levels. jenna: interesting. we'll have to talk about making sure we're encouraging mobility among the income classes but also have conversation about cutting some things as well. >> sure. jenna: those are two conversations are tough to have at the same time. >> exactly. jenna: mike, always nice to have you. mike santoli of "barron's." jon. jon: looking to what may be the biggest test of the republican primary race so far, south carolina. since 1980, no republican candidate has won the nomination without winning that state. we'll ask a reporter on the ground who has got the best chance there. plus, a hit tv show, pushes the envelope. new controversy as a toddler gets ready to drop an f-bomb?
