how long will it be before someone like larry flint offers him ten grand to pose topless? not a bad idea. he needs the money. he is now rj whiching $50 if you want your picture taken. i guess at this point the question is how many people are even going to come to a newt gingrich event where we have the opportunity to do that. the interesting thing that s happened to newt gingrich in the last few weeks is we re saying when will he get out, take the hint? it is becoming an irrelevant question because the people have gone away. the voters are not supporting him in the polls, not in the primarying anymore, the money is not coming in. the media coverage is evaporating. it is irrelevant whether he stays in the race or not. now he is being treated as a non-candidate. larry flint, over to you. thank you all for joining us. stay tuned. we ll have much more ahead. rick santorum is a good guy. he is running a good campaign. we have differences in background and differences on some issues, b
the name your price tool. now available on your phone. get a free quote today. welcome back to the ed show. the biggest campaign rally of the 2012 election cycle so far, no kidding. charleston police estimated 4,000 people in attendance. the only problem? the 4,000 people weren t there to see any of the major contenders in the gop primary. they were there to see a non-candidate and guy who used to be a candidate, but dropped out. stephen colbert and herman cain joined forces today. colbert is on a mission to become the president of the
tonight is karen and the kids are going to be on piers morgan show tonight on cnn. so i would encourage you all to take a look at that. we did the interview yesterday from charleston and you ll get to see what at the end of the interview, piers morgan leaned over to me and said, you want my suggestion? less rick, more karen. thank you for the punt, mr. santorum. and sound and fury came in last night at the cnn-sponsored debate. gingrich seems to be the target of a new dirty trick. e-mails are being sent to republican activists and they claim and cnn did not send them out. it s not clear how many people received them. from dirty tricks to political mischief by a political odd couple. you re looking at pictures from stephen colbert who is teaming up with herman cain for a rally at this hour in charleston. what a scene there. colbert is calling the event the rock me like a herman cain primary rally. even though he s out of the race, he s entering the race himself and say
christie. that means it s retooling time for the campaign. in a new fox poll, mitt romney has regained his lead. but is he really the front runner? he leads the field with 23%. about the same number he always had. rick perry dropped dramatically sitting at 19%. rounding out the top three and barely trailing perry is herman cain sitting at 17%. combine the 17 and the 19, you have the 36. that tells you the conservative anti-romney vote is still a powerful force. all right. one non-candidate already discovering the betting process is no cake walk is chris christie. been a potential candidate for a day, and already he s getting hit from the right. i heard a lot of john mccain in that speech. maybe not a lot, but enough to send up a red flag or too. but rush, are you saying christie s not a conservative?
jurors will look at that and it s pretty cool they re here, but it will not influence their decision. thanks so much. it is a really busy political day. here s what we re watching in the live feed. at 4:15, colorado, will have president obama where he makes a sales pitch for his job tour, and the campaign hopes will net about $4 million bucks. and republican rick perry will be at the white house for what s being touted as a fund-raising kickoff. finally eyes will be on non-candidate chris christie. he ll be giving a keynote address at the reagan presidential library and that s a speech that he s calling real american exceptionalism. he christie continues to say that a 2012 run is not in his heart and not in his cards and it will be interesting to see if he puts this to bed tonight.
