last night, i think was a really strong for romney. actually used some of newt s old tricks by playing to the crowd a little bit more. for rick santorum, he s not going to do well in florida. everybody knows that he s likely to finish very distant third there but i think that santorum is running kind of a case campaign. if i m team santorum, i m telling him don t go anywhere. stay in this thing and try to raise as much money as possible to stay viable just in case a newt gingrich implodes one more time. he has twice already. if he does, he s right there. right. and the republican establishment seems to be going after newt in unison. bob dole coming out yesterday in elliott abrams article, former secretary of state going after his days in congress. rick santorum did so well last night. i m not too far he s going to pull up. i ll ask him in an hour. if he pulls out of florida early, he might lose any momentum he might have gained from the debate. if he does gain the school of thought
toba who watches the young people s show. ron paul was hilarious last night. very funny. three zingers. he talked about his age and a couple of other ones. send in politicians to space and stuff like that. i wonder if mitt romney has last night had a pretty good night. peggy noonan writes in the wall street journal today, he was strong, more in command. looked tall again. i wonder if any of that had to do with the fact that he employed a new debate coach that s been working with him. it probably does because since he employed that debate coach, he s had two bang up performances, the last two debates. he also talked about and had no apologies for being successful. he says that that s the american dream. that he didn t inherit his money. that he made everything and made who he is today. and essentially, after the immigration ad and all the controversy around it, he asked for an apology. you should really apologize that led to this exchange between newt and mitt. you ve indi
santorum, it s all about money. can he raise enough money to last here into super tuesday? if he does, i think he s waiting for newt gingrich to make a mistake. without a mistake from newt, i don t think it s likely that rick santorum can catch him. i just don t think he has enough energy and buzz behind his horse campaign. i think he s waiting for newt to do something. i have to make a quick note about ron paul. this has been in my craw here for the last couple of weeks. i ran into two guys on the street, ron paul supporters. they literally stopped me on the street and said hey, man, we watch you on fox. by the way, introduced themselves as joe and h.b. i don t know if that was really their names or not and they said look, have you paid attention to the way the moderators and the other candidates treat ron paul in these debates? and truthfully i hadn t. look, if you ve been paying attention for the last few debates and i m a guy who said that ron paul and his people did too much compl
and i think it fetches me fantastically. let s use those two words throughout the day. they look like sunshine which is the monniker for florida which is where the debate was last night where the primary is coming up. there wasn t a lot of sunshine between some of the candidates. let s take a look at what happened when they got to their first heated battle last night. i m talking about romney and gingrich because let s face it, that was the focus of the debate last night. did they bring up president obama s name maybe at 10 until 11:00 last night, first time they actually talked about president obama. more on that later. they decided to attack each other during most of the debate and it started with the immigration attack. there was an ad that had come out that romney had put out against gingrich and he took exception to that. here is that exchange. mr. speaker, i m not anti-immigrant. my father was born in mexico. my wife s father was born in wales. they came to this country.
group and by the way, there are 94 languages spoken at the miami dade college. 94 languages. i think that english should be the official language of government and every young english american should learn english. here s his remarks in 2007. so people are the language of the country, the language of prosperity and not the language of living in the ghetto. it s no surprise that immigration has already become the hot topic here in florida where one out of every 11 registered republican voters is hispanic. back to you guys in new york. all right. from doral, florida, steve harrigan, thank you very much. the next battle that was front and center last night. maybe it will be over after this and we ll actually talk more about policies. we talked about fannie mae and
