he s not an also-ran. he should be at the top of the heap. but he has to be the flavor of the day. he s not, but. either rollins or somebody earlier said, i think he has played it too safe. now it s time to no longer be safe because newt is coming on pretty strong. i agree. i agree. i want somebody who is going to fight and punch back hard. and he can t get whiney like he did. he just can t do that. he knows that, he knows that. but i m for romney, though. i want romney. you and your husband are for romney. i got that. he feels like the kid at the high school dance. what does jon stewart, the buddy you write for, want to win? i don t write for them. you write jokes for them. i don t know. i m not in his head. in other words, who do other liberals like yourself want to win? why do you label me with that broad stroke? because you work on that show i figured you are a liberal. i m a little monkey. i do nothing over there. do you use my jokes?
coming down to two people, newt and mitt. this could be over very quickly. depending on how iowa turns out and new hampshire and we know he s ahead, newt is, in florida and south carolina. proportional transaction puts a little it s not pinner takes owl. but i think he gets drawn out a little bit. the four states to go early have had their delegates cut in off. people in florida and even new hampshire. so my sense is some of these other candidates who may not make it in the sense of winning iowa, what have you, may hang on. they may follow gingrich. the state they all have to worry about is south carolina. toughest, dirt west. have to win it to win. and my sense is people like perry and michele bachmann, others, it will be the last straw and it will be a tough field. it will be fun to watch. good to so you both. time to check in with greta
i interviewed newt and this is what he said. i m 68 years old, i m a grandfather. i would like to think i ve matured. i ve learned from my mistakes. i really found my faith in the last number of years. everyone said, oh, he s still the same guy. nobody can change. no, i think people can change. i think he probably has changed. i think time allows people to forgive. you know, you remember when you were like and 13 years ago. the only thing that hasn t changed is your staff is not allowed to make eye contact with you. but other than that. that s me. you are talking about another host. the issue is is he a manager? the smartest guy in the room, the big brain, the great history. can he manage? in my view, that s you are supporting romney? but i like newt. i just think romney is a better candidate. by the way, this is not about the general election. but brit hume had some really
on him in terms of any problems with campaign finances, et cetera. he was exonerated. so where is the story here? you want to try to bring up something that would be inappropriate for you to do? it will backfire. what was she trying to do, scare him, intimidate him? ments. you don t scare newt. i have been a friend and ally of him for a long, long time and i have watch the best them take him on. i m an old boxer, 50 years ago, he s joeraser. he can take a punch? he can, and he s more than happy to do it. if anybody thinks you are going to chase him out of this race or he will get in a fetal position and crawl under the bed, he s been through wars since he first came to congress in 1970 as a back bencher. he took out a very powerful speaker. jim wright. and a tough player. and it tells me they are worried. they are worried about about gingrich? absolutely because he has the experience and knowledge and has the stamina to make it happen. everyone was trying to tell hi
rollins, and the co-host of the five, she too deals with beckel every day how do you do it? i manhandle him. he saw that. you actually beat him up. and he likes it. you ve got everybody beating him up and he loves every minute of it. all right. newt is right. this would be a violation of house rules. absolutely. and equally as important, you know, it would only enhance him. if nancy pelosi, the most unpopular entering in modern times, is the person going after him using documents that were gained through an ethical hearing, he will only benefit by it. you can use whatever you want of the public record but at the end of the day that s a fight that he will only benefit from. interestingly, almost all but one of the charges he was exonerated was a small issue in the end. right. and they negotiated that at the end. right. 83 out of 84 he was cleared. and three years later the irs actually miss dismissed charges
