we ll have an impact all the way to the convention. jenna: david, do you agree the tea party hasn t found its person yet? i do agree. it goes back to what matt talks about with the principles, jenna. the politics needs to be at local level which is something the tea party is also focused on, the state levels and all the other entities, not justed federal level. on top of that, when it comes to the principles, it is not about the even matt or myself. the tea party is about leadership. it is about principles. it is about good american free market enterprise values that have been successful in this country. it is about stopping the growth of big government. jenna: sure but you can agree those are bigger than just the party. jenna: david, dorpt you want those principles to have results, real tangible results in government? well they do and what we have to do as a movement we both have to work with those in the structure and we have to work as an outside force to keep them on track.
jenna: what do you think the answer to that is, byron. governor perry s ads were focused on him and his family. ron paul was about broader ideas about the united state government. why didn t they take their resources and go straight to the top. perry would have been the one to do it. michelle bachmann or rick santorum didn t have the money to do it. they couldn t buy these ads. they didn t have big, rich super packs working on their behalf. rick perry had a lot of money and could have done it. when i spoke to their campaign about it, they said we are fighting for the conservative voters with michelle bachmann and rick santorum and newt gingrich and romney s supporters were more liberal. they were fighting for the right to be the so-called anti-romney who would take on romney later on. that proved to be a mistake because voters the ones who didn t like romney wanted to see candidates take it to the frontrunner. jenna: it will be interesting to see if they change their course as they m
he not targeted more in the negative ads? jenna: what do you think the answer to that is, byron. governor perry s ads were focused on him and his family. ron paul was about broader ideas about the united state government. why didn t they take their resources and go straight to the top. perry would have been the one to do it. michelle bachmann or rick santorum didn t have the money to do it. they couldn t buy these ads. they didn t have big, rich super packs working on their behalf. rick perry had a lot of money and could have done it. when i spoke to their campaign about it, they said we are fighting for the conservative voters with michelle bachmann and rick santorum and newt gingrich and romney s supporters were more liberal. they were fighting for the right to be the so-called anti-romney who would take on romney later on. that proved to be a mistake because voters the ones who didn t like romney wanted to see candidates take it to the frontrunner. jenna: it will be interesting to
policy provision looks favorable for newt gingrich than obviously it does for mitt romney. romney will talk about president obama and his vision for the country, his jobs experience and rise above the fray. the fray will get heck a lot of more nasty. in iowa, because it is midwest they are cautious against throwing shash jabs, it can backfire. in new hampshire they expect it. this is not caucus. this is not internal republican primary event. this is official election run by the government. the anybody can participate. you show up with i.d. can change parties. it is open primary. more moderate voters can take part. it will help mr. many romney and ron paul who has big independent voting following. independents are known to swing the new hampshire primary. that is a big part of the calculation here. romney will focus more on president obama and his message trying to juxtapose himself in contrast to his rivals. watch for newt gingrich and
