he's the guy that has a considerable amount of the baggage. he's the guy that a number of republicans are already speaking about in a negative fashion. and newt is a really fighter. he doesn't take that easily. and he will view himself as being a viable candidate for democrats, for republicans, and for everybody else, and that he's without the need to have any of the usual party structure. and if he thinks that way, his ego, i think, is massive enough to propel him into the race, and for the first time, a real, serious, mainstream party politician running as a third party candidate. that persons should fear more than anything else. >> you know, michael steele, actually, mayor brown brings up an interesting issue. up next, which republican presidential candidate earned a 12th pants on fire rating for not telling the truth at last night's debate? again. that's next on the sideshow. you're watching "hardball."
