that s right. one of the big questions in this day before the iowa caucuses is whether the man in the sweater vest can make mitt romney sweat. rick santorum is in the enviable position of being the final surging non-romney conservative to do well. before these iowa caucuses so we are chasing him from stop to stop to stop today. he is chasing the undecided caucus goers. and you get the sense looking at the poll that came out over the weekend that showed rick santorum in third place. if you look at the last two days that that poll was taken, he is surging into second place into a statistical tie with mitt romney. so it s no surprise that the former massachusetts governor went after rick santorum, talking about the fact that santorum was a senator in washington, trying to tie him to those other politicians, those other washington politicians, who are in the race. and rick santorum had a response for that. let s play that for you. senator santorum was kind enough to endorse m

thing with the president on the conference call. spend and brian the public, bankrupt this country, and until it stops the citizens of this country are in tore more hard times. and fancy speeches aren t going to change that. this is not the first time, judy, that steve wynn has gone off. a self-made multi-millionaire. what s the significance of that? i don t understand this concept of blaming the government for everything when the rich are not paying taxes. i mean, that puzzles me right there. you know, i m i m an fdr democrat. i was raised in a family where we felt that people should pay back. you know, they should give back to the society. they should want to support people with good healthcare. they should want to give people jobs. they should want to stop the wars. i m a gal who grew up protesting against the vietnam war and singing about it. i think this occupy wall street business is helping us all kind
were silly, i took them, turned them around, answer the question i wanted to answer xhoechlt have used that moment to dispel a lot of the flake myth. i thought her answer, a c-plus on the answer, b-minus, i thought overall, it was a fair question. the fact it came from fox, even more credible. alex says he has apologized for the question. i don t know. i i i chris wallace? i think it is easier to ask the i messed up, i m sorry, i didn t mean to disrespect chris wallace. a safer we do ask of conservatives, because look not only how republican candidates have been treated throughout the years but how republican presidents have been treated. there s always an assumption, jon meachum, back me up here, bay business you are a republican, you are a downs. dwight eisenhower, the knock was that he was this dumb old man that doddered around the golf course. my mom, who was an fdr democrat at one time, i grew up hearing that myth. oh, ike was just some doddering
bill? people in the media often confuse bluntness with inflexibility. they are not exclusive. i m blunt and direct. we put our plan out in december. i did 30 town hall meetings around new jersey selling that plan, explaining it in plain english to people about why the debt was unsustainable. i think i sold the public of new jersey on it and got a group of courageous democrats. the senate president steve sweeney, a democrat, the speaker sheila oliver, a democrat, they posted the bills and voted for them. a third of their caucuses supported the bill. the way we did it, i got in a room with them and hammered it out. i could see things in the
