Whomwho is winning to political score board? newt gingrich is losing, what happened to him? he is the man, he wins the south carolina big, and he is the conservative alternative and then vanishes off the face of the earth and than santorum wins three, it the strangest primary i can remember. what happened to newt? on the moon, apparently. if only he could be, he would be happier. i m going to say that i think it was a good week for mitt romney. he needs to tighten up his messages. he needs to be much more humble in victory, he was bragging after florida and he needed to be knocked back on his heels a bit. and i think that santorum s vektvekt victories of the republican s up and downs. congress is a winner this ....
And preventing them from serving in the army. as we have seen with every challenger with romney, their flaws are apparent once they are a serious threat to him and conservatives fall in love with these guys and take a harder look and say, well, maybe romney is the best we can do after all. that is sort of the main conversation that is going on. the other thing at cpac is go ahead. no go ahead.ç the other hinthing that is interesting, you have interesting panels here, you have the highs and lows of the movement you have the intellectual wing of the conservative movement, and then you sort of have the more populist low lights of the moments as well, right before we came on, ann coulter was talking about why liberals are uglier ....
Now at this moment, it s a tough time for him. the other thing to say about the republican party is this party has become much more conservative over the last ten years. self identified conservatives make up over 70% of the republican party so when rick sa santorum came in and said we are the republican party, that is true. is there a feeling that what romney has to do to win over the cpac crowd is a problem for him with the conservatives in the general election? a burning fu ining funeral pd not say that. did i not say. take it away. it s wrapping up that base and pivot toward the general and every time that romney thinks he ....
Has shown up at fund-raisers for his pac. it s not like you would show up a a fund-raiser for a pac you hate. newt gingrich was asked if he would disown these ads and say, i hope people watch the movie. i think you re making a good point, but there s such a tendency for the media to play gotcha over the candidate themselves. the path to reform here is passing something like what senator durbin has, the fair elections now act is bringing campaign finance reform in and having public funding. you re not going to fly the airplane and build it at the same time. you re not going to have an individual candidate, unilaterally disarm, because they technically don t like the idea. you have to have structural reform. and getting money out of politics, however, has proven to be if not a fool s errand, a very difficult thing. and i look at, you know, how successful mitt çromney s supe pac was, in basically just cratering newt gingrich s numbers in iowa. why would he want to but they re no ....
To be showing up. are these voters swayed by caucus captains, bob? what do you think? i think pretty much by the time they go into the caucus they know what they re going to vote for. we ve been talking about polls. wait and see what the des moines register poll which has a track record for accuracy says when it comes out this weekend. one of two things is going to happen here. either romney is going to win this thing, win new hampshire, do okay in south carolina, win florida, wrap this up early. or he s going to stumble a little bit. i think in the end he still wins the nomination. because the republican establishment cannot abide the idea of ron paul. i don t think rick santorum has the plausibility or money to challenge romney over the long term. it would be a fun battle. it would be the battle of two stiffs and be interesting to see them on stage with each other. let s say santorum comes in second place. you know, he gathers the social conservatives, hooex asking conservative ....
