florida, nevada, won both of those races. i got a lot of delegates. he left and went off to the other states that didn t have delegates. he made a good showing there. we ll have a lot of race down the road. part of the success was due to the fact that speaker gingrich had a campaign that sort of disappeared from those states. long way to go. i m pleased with the delegates i ve got. i hope to get a lot more. sean: the headline on the drudge report, the gloves are off as former senator santorum seems to be going directly at a you. is this going to be gingrich versus romney versus santorum. i think it s his opportunity to be a leading contenders. he hasn t been as visible in the sweepstakes but he is now. he will be under the microscope.
differences move in the right direction. this is wishful thinking on the part of his campaign. he is down and his news conference was an unbelievable rambling of a candidate who expressed the rationalitity of unable to be a president. romney versus santorum. you haven t made your case. newt gingrich made the case. newt gingrich is being very, very clear about where he stands and he is making it well. the politics of destruction. you are very frustrated. that s why he is losing. he s losing. you concerned? this is hurting the republican campaign. the fact that it has been a highly negative campaign.
again. i think 2012 is going to be a very difficult and hard to predict year, and i still think there s a substantial chance we could have a third or fourth party that s getting 10 or 20% of the vote. and although it seems late, we re in february, this is the kind of year and the internet and ballot access makes it easier, where i think that s possible. and if we re talking about whose votes go where, there s been a contention, largely in the gingrich campaign that if rick santorum would just pull out, it would give newt gingrich the lift that he needs. and mr. mcen mcenin, duel do yo think polls are bearing out that thesis? if all the santorum votes went to gingrich in florida, he still wouldn t have one. we ll also be coming to missouri, where gingrich is not on the ballot, it s a primary, and it will be romney versus
but the governor bran stead talked to me about this we re going to have a very big turnout tomorrow. people are predicting turnout of maybe 140,000, which could be the biggest iowa caucus, republican turnout ever. if that is the case, it works to romney s advantage extraordinarily well because in a big field like that, it means a lot more train stream conservatives are coming in. romney will do well if turnout is high. we will be talking more about the ins and outs of caucus night after the break. ahead on andrea mitchell reports, she sits down with rick santorum. first the variables that will impact santorum and the rest of the field of candidates tomorrow. one being the weather forecast. that is next on now. when you have tough pain, do you want fast relief? try bayer advanced aspirin. it has microparticles so it enters the bloodstream fast and rushes relief to the site of your tough pain. it s proven to relieve pain twice as fast as before.
are getting behind. one of the most interesting ones was which candidate agrees with you on issues that matter most among born again christians. you see, rick santorum is getting 23%. ron paul is getting 17%. that s right. and you know, i talk about this in my article at the nation.com. there is a media narrative that ron paul has the libertarian vote and the other candidates have the born again vote and there s the split. rick santorum yesterday on meet the press said basically there s three races, an establishment race for romney and gingrich, a conservative race for him and those guys and bachmann and there s the libertarian race. i think rick santorum has it wrong. if you put the chart up again, when asked who agrees with you most on the issues, santorum comes in first among conservatives and first among born agains. that s what we might expect. but ron paul comes in second among born denies for who they agree with most.
