the question is will there be somebody else who will jump in and grab a place at the table as well? let s talk about strategy and tactics for a minute. newt s strategy seems to be saying, look, i m more conservative than mit mitt romn. and he s going around the country and he wants these lincoln-douglas debates. and if president obama didn t show up, he would follow him. and four hours after he s there he will be there 2348 he kau pit pit capitulates. well, if he were the nominee, president obama would go about his duties and go about his campaign and after a while newt would, as any republican would, tire of sort of trying to dog the president by doing this. it s a nice sort of debating point. it s a nice sort of contrast. but it s hard to execute when you are trying to raise money, one your run your own campaign

will be there four hours later until he agrees to the lincoln-douglas debates. does obama have to cave at some point? it s a great tactic because the senate right is look for a combative person to go after the president. i think romney will be the nominee. i think newt beginning will make him a better nominee and it will make him more impressive. but there s a technical side. in ohio you have to turn in your pegs december 7th. i don t think newt gingrich makes the ballot in many of these states unless he has an army. but he s picked out congressional districts like ohio, southern ohio where there are some very conservative republicans. he s filed there. this is romney s problem, one, i don t think he has a broad base of support. he s stayed 25% across the polls. but this far out, generally it tends to solidify. you have to get out of here? i do.
they like that. they like being a part of the national discussion and having somebody that says here s an option, this is the way we can fix it, and laying fourth an orderly process that says this is where we are, this is where we want to be, this is how we get there. is it romney versus newt at this point? do you see anyone else breaking through? no, i don t. i think it s romney versus newt. and one other thing that brings them together is they both have extraordinary spouses. they are both women of great thusiasm for the fight andd that makes a great difference. and i would love to have those seven lincoln-douglas debates between mit and newt. you would be one of the guys they would probably trust to do it here and i think it would be great for the country.
secure the border. he didn t say that in the debate. would that help him, do you think? i m not sure things are going to help. what helped is first ofa, he has laid out something that is an orderly process. you know, this is what we need to do. everybody agrees supporting the border needs to be done first and it s just people haven t done it. this is how we can do it, this is how we reform i. c. e., this is how we reform the immigration process and this is how we deal with the visas, people will be more open to listen to the whole thing. let me ask you this question. he has decided that if obama chickens out of those debates, the lincoln-douglas debates, if he were to get the nomination, and i think romney, he s stayed on top of these polls, i think he has huge infrastructure, and i know a large basis of support. but he says i will follow obama everywhere he goes. they will dictate where i go. and if obama goes someplace, i
