A a we are running deficits we are borrowing $0.40 on every dollar. as you look at all of the young people here. the leaders in washington are saying to you on your tab, and you will pay for this the rest of your life. what right does a government have to do that to the next generation? >> thanks to the sport of evangelical conservatives large vote of senior voters and married women newt gingrich did very well in his home state of georgia. he declared it a make or break state for this campaign. ...

Those two different scenarios lend two different political relates. one is the republic candidates keep fighting with each other and leave each other battered and bruised as they have been over the last few weeks. the other is mitt romney gets the 200 to 215, maybe 220 delegates he is hoping to gather tonight to get over that 400 threshold and then he starts focusing singularly on barack obama. im guessing the republic establishment would prefer the latter. >> chris: yeah. but he can focus on ba...

Santorum and gingrich to catch up. but theyre adamant that theyre staying in this race. which means romney still isnt able to turn his focus to the germany election. romney may be the candidate that voters say has the best chance to win in november, but rob and paula, he has a lot of work to do to show that he understands their concerns. >> karen, santorum was saying we are in this thing, clearly enthusiastic after the result. so whats next for the gop? >> reporter: this race is going to go on. ...

For then to have said is -- for them to are said that it would take an act of god for santorum or newt gingrich, is that a bit of huberous from the campaign? >> no, that may be, i guess that is the definition of that more or less. but we are getting to the point where it is over, where the math gets hard, its the same point where the obama campaign started to say, its over and we did not believe them. its hard to see as this continues how -- >> when you talk to voters in ohio, are republicans sa...

That back online and start drilling. the only thing he can try to do is get confidence back into the american people by saying, listen, its okay, we can survive with $4 a gallon gasoline. im actually kind of happy, because hes stuck. i think theres nothing he can do to fix it at this point. megyn: well, i think you may be the only one whos happy. >> so the energy policy changes, thats why im happy. megyn: matt and chris, thank you both so much. >> you bet. megyn: well, rick santorums supporters ...

Because he is does not have the huge organization and the becomes that a couple of the -- the bucks that the couple other candidates have, so i relate to that. >> he does have a lot of money from adelson. >> he does. >> so its a again of whether he still -- its a question of of whether he still will. >> what is interesting ultimately that it looks like it can get drawn out and romney has a delegate lead, but he may not get to 50%, and then he has to on get the paul supporters, if he does it and ...
