and if you have a family, it can be even more tricky. andrea jung is the chairman and ceo of avon. this lady says that some days the company wins and some days her children win. she says you can't have it all, not in one single day. she says you have to make a choice. let's take another look at another example here. jean jackson is the president of direct-to-consumer nike. she says it's okay to take a break. then there's this lady, the chairman and ceo of pepsico. she says that sometimes she has to call her family together and say that basically she's not likely to be home for quite a while. >>> well, the ceo of mywardrobe.com has been out of the office for a while for a summer break. she says that it's difficult to make her company appreciate that she also has a son. for sara, it's time to go back to work. >> previously on "the boss," finding the perfect fit. sarah curran draws up fresh tactics to help grow her customer base. >> we're using existing team members to really help create a visual identity and a real person. >> hey, sophie, it's sarah. >> reporter: sarah curran is back

i'm andrea mitchell reports. bl go to v8juice.com for coupons. you can count on us. >>> which political story will make headlines in the next 24 hours. post politics.com. are you looking towards florida and the impact of not only a debate, but the campaigning down there? . >> golly, andrea. two debates in ten days and a straw poll on september 24th, so yes. it was near term and long-term implications. this is the proving ground for rick perry and may ultimately be kind of either shines or steps back in terms of momentum. long-term i think the race may come down to florida on the republican side. it's likely to go after iowa, new hampshire, nevada and south carolina. a big diverse state like that, everywhere will target it. who wins there? they wind up being the republican nominee. >> that's the scenario from 2000it and you have the ponzi scheme and social security. that's one other piece. >> with an older population. it really, really can matter in florida. >> the other thing happening tomorrow, a special election to replace anthony wiener and th

martha: that raises an interesting point, andrea. because if that works, if the president is -- if the president can say to people they will not negotiate with me and there's no indication they will negotiate on this bill as it has been presented, can democrats win points by saying that republicans are stonewalling it? >> well, it's certainly the strategy that harry truman took. the problem with that, martha, is that congress isn't on the ballot next year. eventually barack obama will have a challenger, he will have a very strong republican opponent, so running against a do nothing congress in a presidential hr-bgs probably isn't the best message. and look, he's the one with the plan out there, his name is at the top of the ticket. i think he made a huge mistake trying to just repeat another stimulus and do that. but look, he needs his base. that was purely a political move, the reasondy that. he's not interested in really fixing the economy. if he was, he would have taken recommendations from his decifit commission. all he wants to

>> good afternoon, andrea. good to be here. want to say we deeply appreciate america sticking by its pledges to uphold the principle there's no alterna totive direct talks, that the palestinians are doing trying to declare a state in the united nations. president obama, secretary, ambassador rice, doing a job standing up for america's principles and by standing by their principles america will keep up its support in the middle east and elsewhere. there's one answer. not very complicated. the palestinians return to the negotiating table, prime minister netanyahu has offered to meet abbas any place any time without preconditions to discuss the issues leading to a legitimate permanent two-state solution. >> they say by the settlement activity, that prime minister netanyahu's policies have shut off whole areas that the land that they had hoped would be part of their borders is bit by bit being encoached upon prior to negotiations. >> all the settlements together take up less than 2% in the west bank. >> we're talking about -- >> th

is there anything the president can say that will change the decision? >> i was interviewing diane in our hour. she is a former palestinian spokeswoman. she said short of coming out firmly against the settlements and taking a heard line against israel, in negotiations, she does not see president abbas backing down. what we are seeing is a confrontation that will go to the security council on friday. and then the u.s. will try to sort of slow walk it. hoping to stop the palestinians from getting the nine votes they need to succeed. >> such an interesting dynamic. we've talked a lot about the relationship with president obama and benjamin netanyahu. whether there is an alliance or a relationship of con convenience. here you have president obama standing with israel after days, weeks and months of articles criticizing him, saying that he has not been a stal worth ally and even being scolded by netanyahu during a visit. >> which was one of the most diplomatically difficult moments for president obama. this is an awkward relationship. these men are not close.

how much can the snapshot discount save you? call or click today. hour? andrea. the next 24 hours is shaped by the next hour. that will happen with the president going to columbus, ohio. not a mistake to sell his jobs plan. i would say any time the president should pay attention. this is strategically planned out. ohio a huge swing state in 2012. this is the state the president won with 52% of the vote. george bush won with this and columbus is the swing area of the state. he has to win here and convince ohioans his job plan can work. his plan is working. the campaign begins. the jobs program and the campaign for barack obama's reelection. they're not in the same. close to the line. >> we should start with an office pool on how many visits to ohio the president will make between now and november. speaking of politics we are here in new york and out in queens, there is an interesting election in terms of what head winds are going against democrat this is year. >> barack obama not on the ballot and this special election will replace. anthony wiener resigned and thi

that is not the what sort of political suicide can i do to convince you i'm not running? i've talked to folks who are kind of in his orbit. here's what they say. he is thinking about whether he wants to run. now that doesn't mean he's planning to run. it doesn't mean anything like that. but it does mean he's not ruling it out. that's a change from where we were, i would say two weeks ago. certainly where we were two months ago. >> now florida ratified the january 31st date today which does do exactly what the party didn't want them to do. >> christmas in des moines. >> christmas in des moines, don't even go there. but it's now christmas in des moines and new hampshire and nevada and south carolina because nobody is going to give up their place in line. it just means front-leading it all and that according to some of the candidates, i was looking at rick santorum, i think he was saying i think on fox's greta, he was saying this means that it's a romney -- he said it's a romney, perry, cabal in the party to push this off all because it's disadvantaging us who don't have eno

>>> right now on "andrea mitchell reports," simi valley showdown. eight republican hopefuls and the first debate for rick perry. the new front runner can he take a punch? will romney go after him? >> i haven't spoken about govern perry. what i have said is that career politicians don't know what it takes to get this economy going again. and you know, evidence number one is what's going onin washington, d.c. >>> and can michele bachmann stop her rapid slide? this hour candidate jon huntsman is with us from the debate site in california. >>> plus, former 2012 candidate tim pawlenty finally gets the attention he's been wanting on "steven colbert." >> why did you drop autoafter ames? >> i was out of money. and i came in third place behind michele bachmann and ron paul. i think that's enough for any one person to endure. [ applause ] >>> that was tim pawlenty as we haven't seen him before. good day, i'm andrea mitchell live in washington. tonight eight republicans will test ronald reagan's 1 19 commandment, thousand shall not speak ill about a fellow rep
