is getting ready to fly it texas to reassess whether he should bother, whether he should continue in new hampshire and south carolina. michele bachmann coming in sixth. she says she will continue but we will see if she does. jon huntsman in new hampshire. we are waiting it speak with the chair of the republican committee right now that is going to announce that one final precinct. we are going to speak to that precinct captain shortly. we will try to find out what is going on. has there been a snag, a snafu, a hanging chad. we don t know what is going on. but one precinct would colorado make the difference between who is number one, number two and how much of a gap there is. let s go over and talk to all of our contributors and friends. anderson, i think we will get that precinct captain pretty soon, on the phone, and we will hear what the problem is, if there is a problem. because we want to know. who is the winner. i was going to say, what do you want to say to that preci
little fun. we did. yes. and oddly, the fun apparently is continuing, because we are still on the air. yes. long after we thought we wouldn t be. right. in the special cnn after dark edition. so gloria, in terms of tomorrow, i mean we will find mitt romney you mean today. today. a few hours from now, mitt romney will head it new hampshire as well as rick santorum. right, romney is going to new hampshire where he has a sizeable lead. he is clearly the favorite in new hampshire. he is going it say he s got the wind at his back. you are talking about, like 47%. right. we have a brand new poll that came out tonight. 30% ahead. 30% ahead, right? if you are mitt romney to nate, you are thinking, okay, rick santorum doesn t have a lot of national potential. ron paul doesn t have a lot of national potential. so if the top three if he could have picked the top three, these are the three would he have picked. in this order. certain lit fact that perry,
that was a lifetime ago. that was a lifetime ago. but, you know, she made a big point, if she was born in iowa, this was going to be her state. this was going to be so you think she might drop out or, given her money situation? soul searching is what you i think, yes. and if you re rick perry, what justification do you have for going forward? just because you ve got money in the bank? the justification of going forward, i talked to rick perry today. he said he s the only conservative who can mount a national effort, fund-raising effort, against mitt romney. can he make that case after tonight? harder, but we ll see what happens with santorum. see how santorum performs in new hampshire. perry s not going to new hampshire. perry s going to south carolina. southern governor, conservative, a tea party message. look, he understands, he blew it in the early debates. the voters in iowa never forgave him for those gaffes. he s going to try one more time in south carol
110,000. see, i think if ten people showed up and mitt romney couldn t get over two and a half of them, why can t he improve his 25% over four years of campaigning. spent $10 million. it s $9 million newt is going to put on him between now and new hampshire and south carolina is going tonight problem. there s nothing but blue skies for governor romney tonight provide he had finishes in the top three. his most dangerous opponent that emerged during this, you know, year of asininity as lawrence pointed out was speaker grinchings and spe gingrich, and speaker gingrich has been hobbled by the pros nez iowa so the most dangerous opponent governor romney had to face is going to come out very weak. i will say this by governor huntsman. his calculus what happens in iowa doesn t affect what happens in new hampshire, that he could campaign in new hampshire pretending iowa didn t matter what. will be interesting to see if in fact senator santorum has a good night tonight as the poll
after we stopped polling them. what is your sense of where the movement is going since the pollsters stopped? well, i think santorum does have a lot of momentum right now. you see it out on the hustings with senator santorum. but i think romney, too, is showing a lot of strength. we simply don t know. on the republican side, they re doing callbacks, trying to gauge that level of intensity. they re doing a lot of crowd estimates and trying to judge enthusiasm. but there s a great deal of both intensity but a lot of questions. there are so many undecided voters, a lot of volatility. we ve been talking about it for weeks. look how many republicans have been up and then down, all is that alternative to romney. here s the point of strength for romney tonight. that is his opponent is not a candidate. it s a constellation of social conservatives. nobody has yet totally emerged and then separate from that, you have ron paul.
