few of the romney pacs i guess can throw a few elbows. if rick perry recovers, he loves to throw punches. if ron paul wins iowa, you ll see more negativity. if he wins new hampshire, you ll see complete chaos. complete chaos and complete panic. romney is smart enough to know maybe ron paul winning iowa prevents a candidate like gingrich who might be more viable, that might be good for mitt romney. it s not good for mitt romney if he were to lose new hampshire ç under any circumstance at all. you could have a huntsman rebound or have someone come back in south carolina and make the race more complicated. mitt will go negative on paul as soon as he needs to. and as soon as he figures out how to. what you were saying about south carolina there is what we re going to talk about next. i feel like horizons are already turning to south carolina because of the chaos here. this is a great deal of fun to cover. thank you. thank you, rachel. nate silver. when you call up cabinet a
