call. keys have endorsed rick santorum. they're the kind of wind at his back. but we don't know wlor they're going to eventually say thank you, we have one horse to ride. and that's what rick santorum wants but so far that hasn't been the case. >> and you do have i'll call him an older guard, not country club but a traditional chamber of commerce moderate pragmatic conservative republican. that was the romney vote. he had the edges in the last election. romney could get this number and win the state. >> that's a lot like the number he seem to be getting in the national polls. that's been his number. 25%, 27%. cannot seem to get above it. doesn't go much below it. i think they are counting on getting those voters. again, the question is, will that number be enough to win?

>> let's focus here on the dream act, because it's legislation sitting before congress numerous times now. it has not passed. we do know that president obama does support the dream act and mitt romney actually had this to say about the dream act. >> the question is, if i were elected and congress were to pass the dream act, would i veto it? and the answer is, yes. for those that come here illegally, the idea of giving them in-state tuition credits or other special benefits i find to be contrary to the idea of a nation of laws. >> so the dream act for those who don't know is actually a path to citizenship for young people who obviously were brought here by their parents and not a decision that they actually, that they made. is this a hot button issue for folks in iowa? >> absolutely. abo absolutely. we are all struggling for success, we all want a piece of the pie that is offered in the united states, which is

don't forget, this is sort of a process of elimination here with the ups and downs nationally. also the ups and downs in iowa. but iowa caucusgoers like to meet their candidates. ron paul has a very effective message, which they understand and like. which is small government. he's got a great organization. really, really important. they've seen a lot of michele bachmann, but what they saw, they didn't like. with rick santorum now, what they see, they like. and so he's peaking. with mitt romney, hasn't spent a tremendous amount of time in the state. but then there's another question. they believe he's electable. and so that's important to them, too. >> all right. interesting, as john king had pointed out. you had one county, i believe, that went to ron paul last time. ron paul obviously doing a little bit better this time around. wolf? >> we certainly don't know who will win tuesday night. but who's likely to lose? who's most likely to lose? we're going to talk to our

both of those years. the question this time is can republicans match in 012 the intensity they had in 2010 when the tea party -- with the tea party so they took back the house of representatives. wolf, one of the reasons we're so excited to get this campaign started is because this is the 2008 map. we know without a doubt it will be different this time. number one, we've had a census in 2010. the electoral college votes are redistributed. some states have a little more. some states have fewer. as jess just noted, barack obama won iowa. both campaigns. democrats and any republicans view it as a toss-up state. then new hampshire and the republican nominating process. barack obama carried that state. it has been a swing state in presidential politics. could well be in play. there's two of the first two states. south carolina is next. that's reliably red. it will stay that way most likely. florida. let's put that back in the swing state. barack obama turned these states, virginia, north carolina from red to blue last time. viewed as swing states. so is indiana. so the ohio. colorado, bush 2004. obama 2008. considered in play.

because at the end, you know, you saw him smiling and -- >> having fun. >> -- as wolf said working hard. i wanted to show you this. bho best relates to iowans in the latest poll. this is where you see that hard work coming through. rick santorum, 20%. michele bachmann very high. >> michele bachmann has traveled to all 99 counties in the state. so has rick santorum. i bet ron paul is pretty close. these are the people who spent the most time in the state. iowans feel like they know them. you saw rick sar tor um. he's been traveling around in a truck with his chief of staff and they're kind of hanging out in every county. you look at the person, though, the question, who best relates, mitt romney only 10% to iowans. "a," he hasn't been there a lot. "b," even when he's there, they know him from 2008. he didn't do so well in 2008, so there are still these reservations about him. >> this is going to be

for months he struggled to gain traction, but in the most recent polling, he is in third place behind front-runners mitt romney and ron paul. so is santorum's rise an indication of growing popularity, or is it a result of so many of his rivals falling flat earlier in this campaign? i posed that question to elsie granderson, a contributor to cnn.com and senior writer at espn and cnn contributor will cain. >> santorum's rise has correlated with newt gingrich's fall. some of that support is going over to santorum. let's not take away what santorum has accomplished. he's put in a lot of hard work. he's visited every county in iowa. his campaign seems tailor made for iowa. social values, family values, social conservativism. that plays well to iowa. you'd expect that rick santorum could do well in iowa and now looks like he is doing well. >> i want to play this sound from nbc "meet the press" this morning. david gregory pressed santorum

by the traditional rules of politics, it was a huge mistake. when you're being hit, you hit back. you at least defend yourself. you at least defend yourself then you decide whether to hit back. however, newt gingrich is not your normal political candidate in the sense he's trying to recreate himself. republicans remember newt gingrich. the caustic, controversial sometim sometimes nasty newt gingrich. four in ten americans view him negatively. in iowa, the state where he decided to stay positive, 40% of iowa republicans say they would never consider voting for newt gingrich. if he went slash and burn, he raises his own negatives. now he says he might do that after iowa. the question is, would he benefit from that or would people say, negative newt is back. and would somebody else benefit. somebody has to be viable to benefit. >> angry newt is what put him in the game. fighting with the debate moderators. fighting with barack obama. fighting with mitt romney put him in the game. >> people don't vote for relentlessly negative people for president of the united states. they like optimists.
