christie, the savior, to iowa. christie talked about what makes romney different from a candidate like newt gingrich. politicians can be taught to fake a lot of things. you can t fake that. this is someone who i ve come to know has an extraordinary heart. he loves his wife. he loves his children. first and foremost when you look at these candidates say is this the kind of person who s always going to make me proud in the oval office? i m never going to have to worry will embarrass america. that i ll never have to worry will do something that just will make me ashamed. he just won t. i just didn t know chris christie could be so sappy. chris christie was the guy republicans wanted to run against mitt romney in the election. he of course has been the media darling. he s one of the untouchables. now he s a romney endorser. but may i ask tonight?
even with the debate. if he s the only one to show up, he ll use that as an opportunity. so now what all this chaos and all this donald trump story and all the craziness, this carnival atmosphere we ve seen with republicans, what we now have is a republican front-runner who the general public does not like at all. he s an old politician with more skeletons in his closet than a damn haunted house. he s a candidate that the republicans have got to have because now they re going to have to go hold their nose and vote for this guy. mitt romney, it s going to be very tough for him to make a comeback. this chaos has all been created in part by donald trump. now, trump going to be the moderator even for two people now. and it may be one after tomorrow. who knows? but for michele bachmann and rick perry to step out of this debate when they desperately need the camera time, martin, what about that? i think that it was one of the most astute decisions that rick perry s made. imagine, he woul

and of course the democrats plan to extend the payroll tax cut. failed again today. you had another vote. so will the senate, going to be working over the holidays to pass this? what do you think s going to happen? well, harry reid was very, very clear. and i think this is an indication of the democrats gaining some focus. and what reid said to a group of us, if we have to be here until christmas we will be here at christmas. i m not a great fan of the payroll tax holiday. i am a strong supporter of tax relief for the middle class, making sure it is done in a progressive and fair way. and i think the democrats are prepared to fight for that. every democratic lawmaker they ve spoken with in recent days is saying that extending the bush tax cuts is off the table, it s a non-starter. that s the term i m hearing, a non-starter. could this be the time when the democrats actually draw a line in the sand, they won t go any further no matter what s on the table, as far as the republicans
