Tuesday. what are you looking for in the next couple of days? >> to me its the rick perry number. he is the wild card here. newt, i think he clearly know s gingrich is on his way down and he frankly may enter single digits before its all said and done. so this little boomlet of his, amazing rise and fall. what happens to the perry supporter? does the perry supporter who walks in on caucus night who is also a social conservative, do they stick with him? how committed to him are they? or do they e...

This morning. i thought he did fairly well. hes always going to be pro-life enough for the pro-life voters. thats not going to be his problem. but theres something else happening on sunday morning, which is evangelical churches across iowa in the pulpit, theyre seeing that poll and seeing one of our guys is moving fast. and i think messages are going to go out that are going to be very bad for perry, very bad for whats left of bachmann, to go with rick to win this. >> social conservatives will m...

But that has been -- that is also an issue. we still have 75% likely of the iowa republican caucus electorate thats going to vote for somebody else. you know, thats still a challenge for romney. and i think that it may be what some activists here in iowa decide to do is say, hey, weve got to force mitt romney to keep proving his conservative credentials, to say youre not going to end this early. youve got to go out there and earn the conservative vote. >> matt, what about turnout? because this i...

The iowa caucuss? he wouldnt budge. he said, look, the romney tactics worked, they knocked our poll numbers down from the mid 30s to the teens but didnt take us down to two. if i had done the same to mitt romney, i would have been knocked down to 2% or 3%. the questions people are asking are why didnt you do that then. >> jim acosta, to atlanta where our coverage is headquartered and talk to john king, host of "john king usa." i want to remind our viewers in our final moments here about the des ...

Right now, and particularly the hot hand among this -- >> but theyre -- >> but youve got -- the candidates arent going to do that. the voters are going to make that decision. the problem for santorum, hes benefiting from bachmanns collapse, for sure. and shes kind of on the way down. >> we saw her yesterday with 12 people at an event, at the most. >> the problem hes facing, and i think it was the most interesting thing in the nbc poll, that perry is still holding steady, and actually even tickin...
