of this agreement with iran do not want him to rip up the deal. they do not want him to. domestically the president has a lot of supporters, conservatives, people who are strong supporters of israel like sheldon attelson who gave five million dollars to the inauguration committee after not supporting him, these are people that want him to tear up the deal. i m not sure how much it hurts to play two sides, to say, look, i m going to have a different tone than the obama administration had, but ripping it up would be a big act and they decided not to go there. they had had the three month evaluation, and perhaps they can change later in the game. but i think it is perhaps a signal you are seeing tillerson and mcmaster leading on this. they seem to have won the fight on whether to certify on the iran deal and it seemed to go through normal washington process, which many of his voters won t like that part.
not a path forward. you had a great run. you were bankrupted. your entire staff quit. you came back twice. you made it deep into the process. you have been a candidate that s contributed a lot to the dynamic in the race right now, but you re not going to be the nominee. and when a candidate stays in the race too long, when they have no chance to win, they really start to get diminished. and i suspect t path. i ll look for a graceful exit. if he can t win both of these states, it s tough to see how he was able to put together the southern strategy he s talked about is necessary to put together. you know, lawrence, to your point about the phone calls that will get made, almost as interesting as the calls to the gingrich campaign will be the calls that go out from the republican establishment to sheldon attelson. that s a discussion that s been going on. isn t romney going to call him and say, stay in there, i need this three-way to continue? certainly i m sure those calls will be m
florida, there was some discussion about eric cantor being an emissary from, quoted, establishment from attelson to stop putting money into the suicidal campaign. i think those calls will escalate tonight a lot especially if gingrich doesn t win mississippi. two quick factors on that. we don t know that sheldon doesn t want to been at this time from gingrich staying in the race. he said he doesn t like santorum and he does like romney. he may think he s doing romney the most effective thing he could be doing to help romney. as of tonight he is. as of tonight he is. it should also be noted sheldon has just been hit with a multizillion lawsuit by gaming interests in macau. we ve all been hit by gaming interests in macau. it would be as much of a great thought experiment as if i were newt gingrich.
