the masses here in florida. you ve got a huge hispanic population here. almost 25% of the population here hispanic and a lot of folks going after that voting bloc. anti-immigration ad the gingrich camp quickly pulled off the air, he called mitt romney the most anti-immigration candidate in the field. rubio did not like that at all. he said this, quote, more than just unfortunate. it s inaccurate, inflammatory, and doesn t belong in this campaign. then he want on the air this morning. here s what he had to say on cbs this morning. i think the speaker gingrich made the right decision. i ve noefr gingrich a long time, i think he made the right choice. a lot of folks courting marco rubio. his name is often mentioned as a top candidate for vice president on this ticket in the fall. thomas? senator rubio knows how hotly he is wanted right now. thank you, ron. as newt gingrich tries to keep his campaign afloat,
ronald reagan. president reagan. reagan. reagan criticized gingrich saying newt s ideas, quote, would cripple our defense program. gingrich responded last night with this. to suggest that governor romney is more reagan-like than i am is an act of total fantasy. so how problematic is it for the former speaker that people are starting to now draw this, you know, defined contradiction between how he says he is a ronald reagan conservative and people actually holding up to facts that don t say that? i think this is an important moment because you have a few days until this primary and for most of the campaign we ve seen romney cast as the moderate, gingrich as the conservative and south carolina, the result shows a lot of conservatives behind gingrich. romney needs more con zef tive votes and one way to get that is to cut back gingrich s credentials and say he is not as con zer tive as you think he is. this is a big moment if romney
gingrich s way either through the super pac or through some other avenue. jon, is it true if gingrich weren t in this and drops out, he s going to go behind romney though? it s not that he s newt or nothing. yeah, i think that he is so negative on the president that, as a lot of business folks are, rich businessmen and smaller businessmen that he is going to support the republican cause. there won t be the personal investment with romney but i think he will help the republican party. you contribute a lot of money to help republican causes without going directly to the candidate. certainly got dividends out of south carolina. we ll see how it goes in florida. jon ralston live in las vegas for us. why some might say it s out of this world. plus, take a look at this. the roof of an ice rink collapsing because of snow and ice. the quick escape out.

gingrich s critic here s. and kouis the right starting to take newt gingrich more seriously and, because, so they re really worried? well, i mean, in fairness, ann coulter endorsed mitt romney many weeks ago. and a lot of the members of the conservative media that you re quoteing are people who have a long history with newt gingrich. in particular, they knew him during bill clinton s impeachment and remember his own behavior then and since then regarded him as a hypocrite. there s a long history with some conservatives who were spectacle of gingrich then and spectacle of him now and don t believe he s fit to lead the party. i think they re gaining more traction now and are being heard simply because he is doing so much better than he was earlier on. they believe he s a hypocrite and don t believe in redemption? maybe not for him yet. they question gingrich s ties to ronald reagan. look at this. i worked with president
something so grotesquely hypocritical about the romney campaign that i think is just going to melt down over the next six or eight weeks as the american people learn more about it. let s get it out in the open. he wants to run a campaign where he drowns me in mud with money he raises for people who are for closing on floridians. newt gingrich on the attack against mitt romney in mt. dora, florida, as the two prepare to go face-to-face in their 19th debate coming up tonight. all right, so everybody out there that loves their apple products, if you own an iphone, listen up. the latest blog buzz is that the new iphone model could see the street by summertime. so no complaint from apple about these rumors, though, and on the heels of monster earnings, $13.1 billion, why are these trade secrets so secret? paul hochman is founder of thenewsimple.com and today show contributor and joins us now to talk about this. so the iphone 5, when we tweeted about this earlier, a lot of
