Sideshow: Cory Booker saves the day (again)

>>> back to "hardball." now to the "sideshow." ready for the opposite of mitt romney 's see hus on the roof story in dog loves will appreciate this one. enter newark mayor cory booker . twitter was buzzing with reports that a dog had been found left outside in the freezing cold last night. well, booker reported to the scene and carried the dog to a heated cop car .

>> this is brutal weather out here. this dog is shaking really bad, and you just stant leave our dogs out on a day like this and go away.

>> you could crank up that heat, i would appreciate it.

>> it's like all the way joe biden , isn't it? it turns out the dog's owner was ourt of town and did not know the dog had gotten out. booker has a knack for showing up with dangerous strikes. you may remember in april he rescued a woman from a burning house. last month he announced he's exploring a run for senate in 2014 though we still don't know whether frank lautenberg who is 89 years old plans to run for re-election.

>>> up next, the obama/ clinton alliance. president obama and hillary clinton do a joint interview sunday night on "60 minutes." what does it say to the president might support to replace him as president? this is a big deal , thoz two going on as a couple really. you're watching "hardball," the
