To get out of this race. santorum has no intention of it, both he and ron paul recognized they didnt have a chance to win in florida because this is not a proportionally-allocated state, it is winner take all. they moved on to future contests which newt gingrich has also said hell do. today he said maybe june or july or until mitt romney drops out which seems unlikely in the wake of florida which hasnt yet tallied its votes, but the gingrich and the romney camps seem prepared to accept the idea ...

It is the one state where money matters the most. hes outspent gingrich about five to one on the airwaves down there, and it has paid dividends for him, no question about it. i think gingrich has also complained about that which has helped romney, the fact that gingrich has sort of come off as complaining about that. but youre right, i mean, to this point gingrich has spent an awful lot of money. thats something people are talking about. this money advantage is serving him well in the primary, b...

Not the stimulus nonsense where we have to borrow the money. it is energy. replacing the imports from china. reducing and streamlining and make more effective, regulation on wall street so banks do something novel. which is make loans to moderate businesses. those are the things this president has talked about doing but he doesnt walk the walk the he is too worried about raising money on wall street. his liberal base at harvard does not want us drilling for energy, and neither wall street or the...

And that elevated him and now they will do the same, gingrich and huntsman, a three hour debate and they will talk back and forth. >>dave: huntsman can hang, he is probably the most experienced, smartest guy on the stage at times and yet he cannot get any traction, and i agree, clayton, great move. >>alisyn: huntsman says he will not participate not debate not because he didnt get the phone call back but it is a side show that he things there is a trump show. >>clayton: he is a rating machine. a...

>> but the republicans threw him out as leader, as well. how do you respond to the governor christie report? >>guest: no one will put a lesion chris christie or program him so i would not read too much into the fact that he has been deputized to do that, and second, gingrich has a big chore in the next three or four weeks, he has to prove he is not washingtons past and instead he can be americas future, and currently a lot of republicans are grateful for what gingrich did but that is a long time...
