hampshire, anybody who really wants it to not be mitt romney, these are desperate times. and if there are desperate measures available, now's time to go for them. chuck todd, thank you for this. we're going to go to chris matthews in manchester, new hampshire. he's with howard fineman and others who have been reporting with various campaigns and their reactions to tonight's results. chris? >> great, rachel. you know, howard, it seems we've got three guys now running in this race that are behind and have to do something magical to pick up. let's start with the most fascinating -- gingrich. tonight, no attack in his speech tonight on the man he's been attacking, romney. what's that about? >> well, i think that's significant. partly because i know that some friends of his, former members of congress, have called him to cool it on the looting thing. they say, you're making a pariah of yourself in the party. and even though the mitt romney people claim, bring it on, we want to get this debate over now so we don't have to deal with it in the fall, they don't like it. they definitely don't like it. but newt has a choice to make. by the way, i've covered him for many years. i've never seen him look that deflated and unhappy. >> as tonight? >> as tonight. you know, he cried out in iowa because he was tired.
