now i m a geologist at chevron, and i get to help science teachers. it has four servo motors and a wireless microcontroller. over the last three y we ve put nearly 100 million dollars into american education. that s thousands of kids learning to love ience. isn t that cool? and that s pretty cool. and welcome back. we are projecting newt gingrich will win the south carolina primary. to make since. raw vote total comes in it will go back and forth. based on exit poll data, it will be a big win for newt gingrich in south carolina. we don t know how big at this moment. there is a fight for third
between santorum and ron paul. that is continuing. as you look. there are so few votes in x. based on the exit poll data and raw vote totals, they are projecting newt gingrich will win big. he tweeted thank you, south carolina and help me deliver the knock out punch in florida and donate money now. and mitt romney s campaign and senior ads are reporting to a major speech in florida on tuesday that will be a prebulletable of the president s state of the union. and mitt romney looking to a state to improve his fortunes . ron paul aids are telling fox news they expected newt gingrich to come in first x. he s leading in the internal polls for a week and they expect to come in fourth . and there is a speech coming from mitt romney at 7:45. at least that is the early
look at the exit poll data in the two cop tests we ve had contested we ve had, romney is doing best with self-identified republicans. it s the republicans who are really siding with romney. why does that matter? because if he can get past south carolina, he goes into the first primary in florida where they restrict it solely to republicans. he got 40% in new hampshire, 49% in new hampshire among self-identified republicans. that gives romney a big leg up in florida if he isn t tripped up in south carolina. jon: kind of interesting, too, that the two guys who probably had the best chance against him in south carolina, who had the best organizations and the most money to spend have really seen their fortunes fall. yes, gingrich and perry for sure, and then santorum is coming in. he s got real money now. look, if conservatives could coalesce somehow around one candidate, could get two of them
tonight we celebrate. tomorrow we go back to work. dana bash is in manchester. christine romans is in the election center digging into who voted and why. peter ham by is in south carolina, the next stop in this grueling presidential primary. let s begin with dana there. romney s two for two. he won iowa, he won new hampshire. this victory wasn t a surprise, not to most. he was expected to win. it s the size of his win that s really grabbing attention, however. is it enough to get the party to finally rally behind him? reporter: well, fred, that s probably not going to happen immediately because as you mentioned, all of these other candidates are still in the race. effectively, look, this was no question a huge win for mitt romney. you said certainly he was expected to win here because he was governor of a neighboring state, but the size of his win in terms of the overall number, but also the kind of voter that he got, namely the conservative voters in this state. there
just 14% saying they were looking for a true conservative. now, in terms of ideology, 54% are conservatives 34% moderates, 12% saying they were liberals. that is a lot different that what we saw just last week in iowa, we see there, 83% of caucus goers were overwhelmingly conservative. that is a whopping number of people who identified themselves as conservatives in iowa. just 2% calling themselves liberals. and we will be keeping a close eye on the stories coming out of the exit poll data and be back with much more information, rachel. tamron that is fascinating, to look at the difference between iowa and new hampshire there, to see moderates more than twice as represented in new hampshire as they are in iowa. the number of liberals six times as representative of people voting. an indicator for ron paul. you think so? absolutely. not jon huntsman? he is the anti-war candidate in there he has some hard-core liberal voters ár&l have voted for obama and go into this kind
