can give muscle to the republican conservative value system. gingrich for all of his baggage, does have a clear advantage over mitt romney among conservative voters. conservative voters don t trust romney or he would have locked this thing up months ago. gregg: what do you think of romney s infamous $10,000 bet last night? steve brown is in des moines says it is not going over well among residents and voters there. here we are, american so many of them are unemployed, they are broke, losing their homes, the average income, according to steve brown in iowa, $40,000. here s romney betting $10,000 cavalier i think a $10 bet wore been a better one. it is would have been a better within. it is an unusual example of romney showing the wealth instinct this was a mistake. gregg: it is a great column people can check it out.úq[9ñ michael goodwin, thank you
