What NOW?!: Soccer, Mexican politics, and Amelia Earhart

>> x from at&t. rethink possible.

>>> welcome back. time for "what now." an anonymous mitt romney fan has chosen to express his support for the candidate in an unusual way. paying to have the campaign's believe in america logo stamped on the jerseys of a semi-pro new york soccer club , fc new york . there you have it. ari melber, maybe, would such logos have helped the italians in their game yesterday against the spanish?

>> ouch.

>> i don't know. pretty much a blowout.

>> the answer's no.

>> the answer is no. apparently. apparently the answer is no. i think that it's fun. i don't know if it counts as an in-kind contribution. this is another murky area.

>> what a waste of money. a semi'pro soccer team in new york .

>> we don't know if it's new york city or upstate. i don't know. long island, i'm being told by the control room.

>> when people start competing for the semi-pro soccer fan vote in ohio, pennsylvania and florida, and when governor romney is out there for the opening singing "america the beautiful," we will know they have hit on something.

>> that's the demo.

>> every vote counts.

>> mexico awoke to a new president-elect today, marking a return to power for a party once called quote, a perfect dictatorship. but that appears to be of little concern to many mexicans, particularly women, who call their new president bon-bon. richard wolffe , would anybody call -- do we have any elected officials people would dare call bon-bon? maybe roberts by some on the left after this latest decision.

>> the federal government in mexico has a few other problems other than confectionary right now. let's hope he can assert a strong center for a country with a few problems.

>> yes. he is in many ways a cipher in terms of politics and policy. his marriage was a national sort of sensation but as richard says, there are things on his plate as incoming president. the narco wars probably chief among them. we will see how he fares.

>>> 75 years ago today, amelia earhardt disappeared during her attempt to circumnavigate the globe. today an expedition is under way to solve the mystery. i will talk to you about this, margaret, because i know you fly in planes, commercial ones.

>> it's a fascinating story for all girls who love to study her. i've got two daughters, just fascinating. we are all staying tuned.

>> for anybody who used to watch "lost" they think she might have crashed her plane on an island and perished there.

>> she could be in a weird time warp , that's why we can't find her?

>> she's in a parallel universe . we need to send jack over there to save her.

>> it might happen.

>> that's how we will end the show today. thank you to ari, sam, margaret and richard. that is all for now. i will see you back here tomorrow at noon eastern, 9:00 a.m . pacific. until then, follow us on twitter.
