responds to the attacks from mitt romney s rivals with regard to his personal finances. the fact of the matter is everybody knows that mitt romney hasn t had an income-plea duesinproducing job for the last couple of years. he s been campaigning for president of the united states. ee know he s supporting himself from the investments he made. martha: is mitt romney properly handling the attacks from his rivals? bill: rick perry is going to talk in a matter of moments. the latest headline in a crazy primary season. do not move, south carolina is shaking it up again.
debate. we did an interview with them in october for fox news sunday, gave him the whole first half of the show, did a very good job and was making the case, hey, look at me again, i m a better person, i thought he did a good job in our interest view, and about three days later he had the famous debate, the o orb p ops debate. an was finished after that. bill: does that drive home the point that if you want to play on the national stage you need to practice. reporter: absolutely. bill: the places to practice is iowa and new hampshire and you go there for a year and you workout your answers and work through the issues so when the big, bright lights are on there and chris wallace is sitting across the table with you you can sit him with that 12-second answer that gets a headline as opposed to what perry did when he stumbled on it a few times. reporter: we saw this twice. we saw this with perry and four years ago with fred thompson. this is a full time job and you really need to take
it hurts rick santorum. he needed to really show some juice in south carolina. the perry endorse swinging toward newt probably does more harm to santorum than it does to romney, because romney voters are pretty well established, they are not likely to go to newt. but perry s voters could have gone either to rick or newt, and the endorsement is a significant thing against santorum and for newt. bill: we had ed rollins on ten minutes ago. he says he sees a two-man race in south carolina between gingrich and romney and would not be surprised if gingrich pulls it out. do you see it that way? i think that s possible. there are still going to be some people that will vote for rick santorum because they like him and appreciate his convictions. i don t think he s out of this yet. and of course ron paul s voters aren t going anywhere, they are going to stick with ron paul. if there are 20 people in it or nobody in it they are going to stick with ron paul. bill: governor thank you.
here. it didn t resonate. it is unlikely anything that will have a dispositive effect on the outcome here in south carolina other than voters themselves. they have been hungry for this race. the curiosity they show for rick santorum and newt gingrich as a possible come from behind alternative to beat mitt romney is pronounced. it is palpable. you can t escape it. even if romney rallies themselves there are people who are still chomping and thinking about going elsewhere. this is likely to be going right down to the wire. it is true as we head into the weekend romney is a little bit ahead in the polls but gingrich seems to have the momentum and santorum does too. so, it is, could be a very late night on saturday. bill: i see you. one more quick question. perry has money. we knew that coming out of iowa. it appears he still has a bank account based on everything we ve learned so far here. what part of the state would perry tend to do well? would it be in the low
leaders to submit the forms on time but they just weren t able to. martha: mr. stra u.n. thank you. it s quite a situation and it was a cliffhanger of an evening, and that will lead to a lot ofee mowings on both sides of this. and a pwot of sroebgs will band a lot of sroebgs will be talki folks will be talking about it for a longtime. bill: rick santorum folks are coming out with a statement. this latest defeat of governor romney in iowa is gus the beginning. he s continuing to fights the clear consistent conservative in this race. expect to hear that more from rick santorum and more tomorrow. we re waiting for rick perry. should mitt romney release tax returns now instead of waiting until april? with the latest nudge from alexis christoforous taoerbgs from chris christie and what that means. martha: the tennis meltdown that has everybody talking.
