and country before. this is me, it's not about an individual, it's not about one man. clearly a bid to sort of salvage the republican brand or give them another hope, an alternative to romney. the other thing he talked about was redemption, over and over again. which is interesting as he's endorsing newt gingrich, a man with a checkered past, i think, would be the most euphemistic way to put that. >> i'm sure the average south carolina voter would love to know that rick perry forgives newt gingrich for cheating on his first wife with his second wife and cheating on his second wife with his third wife. i'm not sure that will help anything. but it's interesting to me, we talk about the very limited support that rick perry had in south carolina, probably going to get 3, 4%. so i don't think the significance of this move is maybe the 3%, 4% goes to newt gingrich now. the significance is those santorum voters. because that's the strategy for newt gingrich here. to be the consensus, conservative alternative and to send a clear signal to the santorum voter in south carolina that, hey, only show in town now
