in contrast, palin is staunchly anti-clerical. that's a controversial stance in poland. >> i don't think this is a provocative demand. the constitution clearly states that there is a separation between church and state and that the state should not exert any religious influence. >> palin is famous for publicity stunts. he once appeared with a butchered pig's head on a talk show to talk about corruption in the polish football association. at the time, he was a member of the prime minister's center right civic platform. he left it in 2010 to found the movement of support later renamed palin's movement. his campaign included a call to legalize marijuana. he dismisses claims that he can't be taken seriously. >> what we can't to do is build up the sort of left wing liberal party that hasn't ever existed in poland before. the old left is in crisis. we want to develop a broad-based left wing platform and win the election in four years' time. >> palin won't win a majority. most people see him as too radical, someone like him who swims aga

i don't see a decline from edmund burke to sarah palin. i see her in many ways as the fulfillment of the conservative tradition. >> host: one of the many liberal complaints about sarah palin and the same complaints were made against bush and reagan, was that she is, not smart enough and i know you go to great lengths to talk about this idea. you talk about the notion that conservatives say that nothing could be further from the truth. first, why do you think that myth has been propagated especially by conservatives and what do you mean by couldn't be further from the truth? >> guest: let's start with the left. certain people on the left have had a traditional view of conservatives and the right which is as i say as a defense of power and privilege and i subscribe to that view but i think the left has historically gotten one aspect of that wrong which is they think enterprise of defending power and privilege is a self-executing enterprise. and otherwise if you have privilege and power you just defended and what i argue is what is so fundame

he's got a great personality. >> so does sarah palin. >> so does sarah palin, granted. but yeah, he's getting a pass. and the questions aren't being asked. and maybe it is because 9-9-9 as simplistic as it is was a great slogan, it was a great bumper sticker for people hungry for some economic solution. and people haven't been focused on -- >> i think andrea's rightç the. i think the focus has been on the economy. there has not been the national discussion on international affairs, foreign affairs that would cause people to focus their view on actually what he's saying and does he really understand the intricacies here? that's a big part of it. >> isn't part of it sort of in the back of everyone's mind, we think this guy's going to go away at some point, these poll numbers are soft and he will no longer be the front-runner in iowa. >> i wouldn't count on that at this point. >> listen -- >> at this point -- at this point maybe not. but for the past couple of weeks, we've been looking at this rise and been like, well, there's really not much there. everyone else has fal

sarah palin on that. i think in a situation like this, it's not staff work. because staffing joe biden would be like staffing me and my language. it's difficult and long and painful process. i think if joe knew in retrospect, topic of conversation, he probably would have used different words. yes. that's the best i can do. all i got. >> brian: hold your fire for a second. >> kimberly: hold your fire. >> brian: i hold myself in contempt. i have no choice. the former vice president knows talent. >> obama and i were sitting at a desk at a high-rise in chicago. beginning to plan how we would try to get this economy out of a ditch. literally. the first guy i called was jon corzine. not a joke. not a joke. first, he is the smartest guy i know in terms of the economy, and on finance. i really mean this. >> my goodness. >> not a joke. >> remember when jon corzine were at goldman sachs and republicans had nice things to say about him. i suspect that joe said this before corzine's company went under water. if you h

, according to her aides, but palin is just not that into romney. advisers suggest that newt gingrich appears to be best-positioned to secure her support. they speak very favorably of newt and what they see as his credentials, as compared to perry and romney. one member of palin's inner circle said of the former alaska governor and her husband, todd, who has long served as her unofficial chief adviser. joining me now are christina bellantoni, the associate editor for "roll call," and melissa harris perry, msnbc contributor and professor of political science at tulane university. melissa, this secret meeting, which is no longer secret, and was really kind of obvious, that christian conservatives really want to find an anybody but romney candidate, aren't they just kind of getting in a room and doing together in a relatively small group what all the rest of the larger republican electorate has been trying to do? >> well, yeah. that's certainly what it feels like, watching this gop primary season thus far. is that there has been a pretty solid romney v

she is wrong but the point we're trying to make here, conservative, like sarah palin would say no. start far right if you have to move it to the center in the general. isn't that the plan? start right and move to central. >> dana: that happens in any primary. think about hillary clinton and barack obama battling it out for the democratic primary. they were far left. i don't think you have to have work on a campaign know about politics. >> bob: i read her books. >> brian: wouldn't you get -- you might lose conservatives but you pick up independents if you are a moderate. >> eric: listen to sarah palin. let's do this. i have to do this. i am sadbeed, i wish she was in the race -- i am saddened. i wish she was in the race. she would be the one. >> brian: somehow would be your one? >> eric: absolutely. has been for four years. listen to her on greta van susteren last night. >> romney needs to reach out to fiscal and social conservative, the tea party independents and really show his authenticity and explain what are perceived and real flip-flops over issues that he has been called out

i think palin will have a lot of power and a lot of palin supporters are disappointed when

and there's an ad for sarah palin. straight ahead. . >> we continue with our great, great american panel. presidential politics. herman cain, is he finished? >> yes. >> finished? >> not necessarily. >> oh, he's done. >> whoa. >> no, not necessarily. look, he's already come out and said that he's going to plow forward. >> i thought he said earlier that he was reassessing. >> yeah, he said he was reassessing but he also just came out recently in a press release and said he's plows forward and he very well may want to go forward. >> i am not convinced that any of these allegations against him are true. >> but i don't think it matters at this point. >> that's the problem. >> there are so many of them that it doesn't matter. >> he can't get his message out. >> every single one. these women could be lying and cain is done. >> so the big winner today, newt gingrich. 's up 15 in iowa, 28 in south carolina, and with cain's vote breaking 3-1 to him. newt gingrich is celebrating. >> but iowa, is it 32 or do you think it's real? >

>> palin is right. there is about 70% of the republican primary electorate shown very clearly they don't want to vote for mitt romney. a lot of theories why. i won't weigh into that. the question is why hasn't the romney campaign made more vigorous efforts to reach out to tea party folks? we did the story a couple weeks ago. a reporter called a dozen or more tea party leaders and not one of them heard very much about the romney campaign. there is clearly a strategy. i don't know what it is. martha: some groups expressed they reached out. they haven't gotten response from the romney campaign. i guess only logical explanation, alan he is trying to hug that moderate vote and he is counting on dissatisfaction with the president plus the moderate vote, do you think. >> so it seems. it he hasn't had a lot of competition from his own side as we've seen people have boomlet's and fall by the wayside. he may have a problem with newt gingrich who is rock solid conservative and may give him a run for the money in t
