tuesday. the first five states were cast in stone. they were the first five states. the last time they were the states that governor romney and congressman paul who ran four years ago had an advantage. they had a lot of time and money not just for this year's campaign but for the last four years and working on those states. now we are in a state where people don't have the natural advantage don't have the time commitment and staff commitment to build out an organization like they did in the first five. i think we are going to do very well here in minnesota. i think we are going to do very well in colorado. we have a one-on one match up against mitt romney in missouri. while there's no delegates it is a key state. it is a primary, and we think we can do exceptionally well in the state of missouri. we have two states coming up we are going to show this race is moving again in a very different direction. >> let me ask you about that. you say colorado, minnesota are caucuses, missouri is a primary but it's basically a beauty
las vegas. thanks for that. joining us now from minneapolis is one of the candidates looking to regroup and generate momentum on tuesday former senator rick santorum. welcome back to fox news sunday. >> thank you, chris. good to be with you. >> first of all and most importantly how is della your precious 3-year-old who left the hospital after a bout of pneumonia? >> she is doing just great. thank you and everybody for praying for her across the country. she had a rough time about a week ago today. thanks to the great work of the doctors in the hospital and a lot of prayers she turned around amazingly quickly she is home, healthy and we are very, very pleased. thank you. >> i want to ask you about your commitment to this campaign. i have got to think as she was going through this part of you said maybe i should get out of this race and focus on my family? >> obviously any time one of your children are sick you have to get home, particularly a case
travel? >> 260 days a year a lot of travel. i enjoy it or i wouldn't be doing it. >> he has a bigvaication home on nantucket. out front there's a rock with an inscription. >> it says i would rather be working. that will probably be on my tombstone. >> that made him a fortune of more than $2 billion. >> which gives you more pleasure making money or giving it away? >> giving away his greater pleasure making money is an intellectual challenge it's been a large part of my life. giving money is more complicated as well. >> what he means is he want his money to have an impact. he has given millions for student scholarships. 4 and a half million for the national zoo, 10 million to the kennedy center where he is chairman. >> any idea how much money you have given over the years? >> i do know i have good accountants, but it's probably not something i am going to announce on television.
>> let's say we put it out of context. let's take it in context. to say they have a safety net, that is literally saying i decide how many people we can have on food stamps afpc and public housing. why can't we define compassion by how few people climb the ladder of economic opportunities. he literally said i am going to shove them off to the side because they have their safety net. that's a safety net. >> let me bring in governor mcdonald. i will say there are a lot of conservatives who say governor romney didn't seem to be in touch with conservative thinking which is good economic programs, lower taxes, less regulation, social program for the poor is a job and a strong economy. >> i think governor romney is the best candidate talking about the american dream. chris, he lived it. he is not apologizing.

we don't know if something happ happened to the bags or something. >> so, who are you traveling with? how many are in your travel party right now? i'm just wondering, how many folks are with you, how many folks are even on that flight if we broaden it out a little bit. who are in the same situation that you're in right now. >> no, no, just myself and fellow travelers, so to speak, but really, a situation that we all have together. by experience of travel. everyone else delayed for some people. not sure if theres in any contingency plan.
they are saying that at no point were customs officials sent home overnight. those reports were incorrect. you're not the only one who heard this. there were other people who were on other flights. went on to say customs officials staffed them 24/365. there were other people who have heard similar things. talk to me about the experience. you get off the plane and finally, you manage to get all your stuff processed. how long does it take from there. basically tweet, looks like you still had hours more to go. >> we go up to the gate at 6:00 a.m. we weren't allowed off the plane until 6:30in'iin6:-30 ish. i'm not an american citizen. took me about two hours to get processed but a lot of americans were in line and they were
