Own. the question i have, i think the conservative vote will be somewhere between 30%, 35%, are gingrich and santorum sort of splitting that in half? well, then theyll both be in the teens. does one pick up more momentum, more steam in the end over the other and get that person into the 20%, 25% range? well see. >> the independent. >> paul has been the one thats been doing much better with independents and huntsman. and if huntsmans going to get any sort of surge out of here, he needs to overtak...

Does that make new hampshire where romney is a strong favorite? does that close the deal for him? is this a different year? >> i think it closes the deal for him. this is definitely a different year. but mitt romney is going to be the nominee. he is the only candidate that i believe can defeat barack obama. >> sean: that i disagree with. this is the first time we disagreed. >> it is. but when you look at if the fact that conservatives are happy with him? no. but who decides who the next republic...

Gingrich. its not because he was running around in a sweater vest, sweater pants, sweater socks. >> dont forget that herman cain dropped out a couple of weeks ago and by the way, 41% are undecided. in 2008, 60% of iowa caucus goers at least identified themselves as evangelistic in nature and if its not going to newt gingrich, dont count anyone out. santorum, okay, one poll. the des moines register gives santorum a surge and all of a sudden santorum is in third? im not necessarily buying it. it c...

Richard vigry is never going for romney. how in gods name are conservative and evangelicals going for a guy thats now going glenn beck -- >> theyre not the ash terrrbit of conservative vote. there are plenty of conservatives hedging their bets on mitt romney and who think smartly and pragmatically that he is -- whatever he is not hes at least the most electable. thats what counts. >> he wins on electable but "the des moines register" poll, ron paul gets 42%. >> lets state how much republican vot...

>> unless, perry turns in a good debate performance, the money wont go to him. the wall street money. he has his own network in texas. he will post good numbers this quarter. i think mitt romney hassed a last-man standing strategy. as he put it. msnbc the other day. put your head down, talk about the issues you care about and hope the other guys stumble. they have. one after another. he has a ceiling. you can see in every poll, he doesnt get more above 25% anywhere, everybody else is splitting t...
