background. we do know that the gun that police say he used was purchased back in the 1990s when he lived in florida. it was purchased legally, but police say it was not registered legal willie here in new york. thanks so much. a new claim from the presidential campaign trail says mitt romney will lose five swing states thanks to his competitor but that competitor is not president obama. gary johnson is the libertarian presidential candidate and his party says the latest polls show north colorado. you. on. labeled too. if you wanted to play the spoiler role and you always said
putin is playing his spoiler role. and we need to make it clear that he ll pay a price. that may not be enough to persuade him. but coming back to something you said, just because we have interests here, joe, and we do have interests, strategically and humanitarian, i think it s something less than that. it wouldn t warrant the use of american force directly. there s lots of reasons i think it would be extraordinarily difficult. they have 60,000 or 70,000 well-armed soldiers, special forces and army. they have 4,000 or 5,000 pieces of air defense. several hundred combat aircraft. this would not be a picnic. this would not be libya redux. it would be much more. i m much more concerned about north korea and iran. recovering from afghanistan and iraq. i don t think we want to go down that path. and the i think the real choices are between arming the opposition or putting much more pressure on the regime and strengthening the opposition so if we ever were to arm them they d be in a better
end up being fred tompson, a spoiler role, taking some of the vote up here and denying santorum or a newt comeback. a lot of it, as you indicate, depends what santorum does in new hampshire. i think if he were to finnish the top three he could come to south carolina with a head of steam. romney, of course, is thrilled to hear that perry s staying in because he s hoping that perry plays the thompson role, the spoiler, particularly in greenville and spartanburg, around bob jones university, strong baptist area. this is where thompson took the votes that really prevented huckabee from getting the only 3% he needed. here s the danger for romney, though. a state that is 60% self-identified evangelical according to the 08 exit polls, by the way, he only got 1 out of 10 of those votes if santorum does as well as he did in south carolina among self-identified evangelicals, as he did in iowa
presidential race moved into new hampshire today and became a ground war. newt gingrich arrived this morning, a fourth-place finnish iowa, opened fire on the iowa winner, mitt romney. i find it amazing the news media continues to say he s the most electable republican when he can t even break out in his own party. i don t think he ll do fairly well here. this one of his three best states. but the fact is that governor romney, in the end, has a limited appeal in a conservative party. instead of striking back at gingrich, romney arrived in new hampshire celebrated the endorsement of senator john mccain and together they concentrated fire on president obama. my friends, our message, our message to president barack obama is, you can run but you can t hide from your record. he said if i can t turn this economy around in three years i ll be looking at a one-term proposition. i m here to collect. we re going to take back the white house. romney may sound like he s lookin
she s doing that this week when michelle bachmann is making the announcement. is she the spoiler role? the multimillion dollar question of this campaign. increasingly, a palin candidacy looks less plausible than more plausible. her negatives have been rising. she saw a couple of key events she hasn t handled particularly well. it s harder to see her now running successfully. let s get a break in here. we ll come back with our trends and takeaway segment. we ll come back with our trends and takeaway segment. a looanan anthis.is the netwo. a living, breathing intelligence that s helping drive the future of business. in here, inventory can be taught to learn. machines have a voice. medical history follows you. it s the at&t network a network of possibilities. committed to delivering the most advanced mobile broadband experience to help move business. forward.
