epstein. he suggests there may have been a plot to destroy dsk politically is and that he may have been spied upon. earlier he spoke with our richard quest. >> what is real is that his blackberry was missing. what is real is that employees of the sofitel hotel took actions to delay or deter the investigation including not questioning the maid for an hour, including one of the employees lying before a grand jury, concealing her presence in room 2820 which was across the hall. the supply did not supply the electronic key card records. what is real is actually what is missing from an investigation. >> all right. so if we boil this down to its brass tacks, as we say where i come from, without libelling or slandering anybody, what do you believe happened here? >> i believe that what happened is that dsk was very concerned that his blackberry was hacked. a concept not unknown in england these days. he paid arrangements to have that blackberry examined, and then that blackberry was missing. and we kn

i want to bring in karen hunter and boris epstein. boris, shall we all say that herman cain has not handled this particularly well? should he at this point just say, let her talk, i don't care, let's get this out and over with, i have nothing to hide? >> he hasn't handled it well. but he doesn't have to say, let her talk. the slow drip is killing him. he should himself go out there and talk. he should himself say, this is exactly what happened. i'm not going to hold anything back. >> then it's just a "he said" -- >> but he's running for president, she's not running for president. >> but she shaf pertinemay have information to help people make their decision. >> but it's been a slow drip. and slow drip is what kills you in a presidential race. >> cain was asked whether he thought race was what was behind what was coming out. here's what he had to say about it. >> i believe the answer is yes. but we do not have any evidence to support it. there are some people who are democrats, liberals who do not want to see me win the nomination. >>

julian epstein is a strategist and council to the judiciary committee and a journalist for the "huffington post" and joins us for the first time. is mr. gingrich serious or does he worry about the fallout later? he is the front-runner. >> here talks about being hollow. i think the opposite. there is too much stuffing in this big bird. whether it's the three wives or the major mean spiritedness. he talks about the wall streeters needing to find a job and take a bath, here's a guy with a million dollar expense account at tiffany's telling the unemployed they need to find a job. he sounds like marie antoinette saying let them go eat cake. he is so unattractive on so many levels, it's hard to see why the air doesn't come out of this balloon. >> can you top that assessment of newt gingrich? >> i don't know if i can top it, but i'm amazed by newt gingrich's obvious disdain for middle class workers and for the working class in general. i think his comments about saying we should fire the janitors in schools and let children do their jobs? i never heard anything more offensive in my lives. to say

joining us, julian epstein, david winston. good day to both of you. we'll get to that gaffe and cain in just a second. let's talk mitt romney first here. he has a message and that is that he is anything but a flip-flopper. take a listen. >> i think people know me pretty well. i think people understand that i'm a man of steadyness and constancy. i don't think you're going to find somebody who has more of those at beauts than i do. i've been married to the same woman for 25 -- excuse me, i get in trouble. 42 years. i've been in the same church by entire life. if i'm president of the united states, i will be true to my family, to my faith and to our country. >> david, romney got excellent marks in the debate. is he winning over the base with arguments like that? no one's questioning his loyalty to his wife or company. they've questioned his loyalty regarding policy. >> no, and clearly he was trying to address that in that response and that's the big challenge the romney campaign has had. if you look at where he stands at the polls, he's been at the same

karen current is an nbc contributor, journalist and publisher, boris epstein is a strategist. karen, start with you. michelle obama just launching a program to go after women voters at the moment. we take a look at the stats here, gallup poll showing 48% approval rating for women and 39% men. do women break for obama? >> of course. i think michelle's -- excuse me, the first lady will be on a six-state tour. one in new york with patti labelle and sarah jessica parker. he doesn't have oprah winfrey and her show this time around. i think she was a big boost. >> got a whole network this time, though, right? >> it's not as oufl powerful as was when it came out. >> he's addressed that voter bloc? >> and we're sure where he stands on roe versus wade. >> mitt romney sometimes is very roeç v. wade and sometimes not >> that's a different discussion. what's your thought? of the field, which do women prefer most? who's he going to do best with? >> women, like men, believe that mitt romney will be the best candidate of the gop field. and the reason for that is because he has experience o

here to explain for today's "in-depth," mark epstein, owner of the milk street cafe near the park. mark, thank you for joining us. tell us your story briefly here. why did you need to lay off 21 people to save your plummeting new business? >> thanks for the opportunity, randi. we opened up in june to great success and over july, august and september, sales kept on growing as costs were coming in line and things were looking great until all of a sudden i came up one monday morning from the subway and found police barricades up and down wall street and they were there for seven weeks. it devastated our business. we had to cut back our hours. and cut back a whole shift of people which was 21 people that we laid off a week ago. >> how much exactly has your business dropped? >> our business dropped by more than 30%. but in the last 48 hours, i've got some good news -- the police have taken down most of the barriers and our business busin coming back. what we need is for the barriers to all come down and for people to come back to the restaurant in the droves they were coming to enjoy th

the herman cain scandal that the candidate will address at a press conference, i am joined by julian epstein who joins us from atlanta. good afternoon. i want to start with you. you heard mid-romney say in a year from now, we will see mitt is it on tv screens. confident for a man who hasn't seen a ton of movement in the polls and is not exactly the ideal candidate for the majority of republicans. >> it seems only 25 or 26% of republicans think mitt is it. i wonder what the others will do when they come together and coalesce behind a candidate. mitt romney is probably the only guy who is running a formidable campaign in terms of putting together the organization and staying on message. i think that's key. the fact is that there is a lot of race left here that we haven't had the first caucus vote or primary vote cast. who knows if mitt will be it. who knows who else will be the flavor of the month and who else will fadeaway or implode. he is doing all the right things to be it. >> will hold back on the ice cream flavor for the moment. we have grown accustomed to calling him the inevitable mitt
