use that word, with his wealth. it s kind of hard to really think of that as a concept, but here is a man who apparently approaches politics as some sort of no bless oblige and now he s being dragged into the real world and the release of his tax forms, i could see him wanting to do it now so it isn t an issue later. well, he had said, i believe at one point on thursday, it would be dramat fick he released them during the demate tonight and challenged romney to do it. unlike you, i haven t talked to anybody, but it would be something interesting. but, erin, let me go back to you. you keep bringing up the interview with the second wife. in the segment before you, i talked to people there who say they don t think it s a big issue. nikki haley was charged with having affairs and she won. and that today, rush limbaugh and sarah palin came out and said it was going to backfire and help newt.
african-american named tim scott. a republican of whom i m very proud and my governor is an indian-american woman named nicky hailey of whom i m also very proud. so for both people that were elected by the electorate here in south carolina. so the notion we have a racial electorate here in south carolina is absurd and nonsense and frankly just stirred up by people in the press. and i think that that s, you know, i think that people in general are sick of politics as usual and part of that is they are sick of the press stirring thing ups with an angle. i think that woman is right. people should be cheering. who in the press do you know has ever brought up the issue of food stamps, ever brought up the issue, how as rick perry said in the debate on monday that south carolina is at war with the federal government as is texas, bringing up these old states rights issues. the press doesn t bring them up, the candidates do. i think this race in particular is one that s long on rhetoric an
rick perry dropped out today and endorsed newt gingrich. a recount in iowa showed rick santorum got more votes than mitt romney. newt s second ex-wife said abc news he asked for an open marriage. newt unleashed an ad calling mitt desperate and dishonest, and newt has passed mitt in several polls in south carolina. we ll put it all together at the top of the show. plus has mitt s air gotten thin? rick perry supporters are likely to go to newt. his shares at bain capital pay hurt him. . he can t get out of his own way when talking about taxes. look at it this way president bu bush. if mitt didn t win iowa and doesn t win south carolina, he will not be 3-0, but 1-2. also a new poll shows how much trouble president obama may have with independent voters who aren t sold on the republicans either. that may explain why the president is up with his first ad of the campaign. and we mentioned that newt gingrich s second wife said he wanted an open marriage. the ex-wife of mark sanford
said, yes, but you want me all to yourself. calista doesn t care what i do. what was he saying, do you think? oh, he was asking to have an open marriage. and i refused. he wanted an open marriage? yeah, that i accept the fact that he has somebody else in his life. and you said? no. no. that is not a marriage. the washington post also interviewed marianne gingrich today revealing even more secrets about newt. later, gingrich appeared at an event in south carolina with his wife calista standing by his side. and he even brought his grandson out on the campaign trail today. there were other major events of the campaign today. we learned the surprising news that mitt romney did not win the iowa caucus. rick santorum did. that news shattered romney s claim of inevitablity. a few hours later, rick perry dropped out of the race and threw his support behind newt gingrich. i have come to the conclusion that there is no viable path forward for me in this 2012 campaign.
