it s a trick. if the primary is open to the other side, why not? you are allowed to bring in the other side. interesting result, as you said it comes from the exit polls. you find among those who voted, strongly support the tea party, santorum has a lead and is up by 10 points. of those who oppose the tea party, santorum is again up by 16 points. is jon huntsman won half of the democrats, you would say it s reasonable. he s a moderate. santorum sant moderate. he ran as conservative in the field and what he got was the democrats that did mischief and went in the ballot presumably to hurt romney. play with the process. not a dirty trick but

interesting to see how this plays out. romney will not be with huntsman today here in myrtle beach for this announcement ahead of the debate tonight, kyra. it s interesting. when i had a chance to interview him last week, he said, oh, i have respect for romney. i think he is a great family man. it s really interesting how reporters like you get the inside scoop, and you can t necessarily get it directly from the candidate. meanwhile, huntsman making this announcement just a day after he got an endorsement from the state newspaper, peter. and he sounded so enthusiastic after his third place finish in new hampshire. let s take a listen once again, and i want to ask you about this. here we sit tonight, ladies and gentlemen, with a ticket to ride and to move on. here we go to south carolina! thank you all so very much. thank you. all right. so what changed? and what do you think is next for him? some say this is just a trial run for four years from now. you know, what cha
chances of romney hitting perry on his immigration stance? which doesn t sit well arguably with some conservatives, right? greg: that s true. i still think about the other candidates. we kind of ignored them but it s unfair. i see the debate are like the airline security line. when you wait in line and the pilot, the flight attendant walk in front of you? that s what happened. with a cocktail in hand. that is what happens when you re governor of a major state. you immediately walk to the front of the line. other guys aror gotten. eric: that is really important there are a couple of governors up there and it matters but they re ceos of the state. others dana: what about the ceo, former ceo of godfather s pizza? andrea: had one of the best economic plans. dana: we can mention his name. herman cain. andrea: jon huntsman and herman cain have the only economic plan and karl rove came out with an editorial and said whoever has the best
was the next president. in 95, dole did. one the straw poll. and he won the nomination. so i believe whoever wins this straw bull on saturday will be the republican nominee and i believe the republican nominee will be the next president. dana: tonight, the republicans will get back together. nine candidates that will be debating. juan, do you think this is a make it or break it for the candidates? if there is nine of them, do you think several drop off after this or do they keep going? juan: a lot keep going but as a matter of fact if you look at someone like michele bachmann and given her precipitous drop about the whole debate, tonight is make it or break it for her. if you look at someone like newt gingrich who is kind of in there but barely catching. i mean, make it or break it. huntsman. huntsman has done very well recently in some of the polling. it seems now to be, have to potential to make it a three-man race.
