age i have say long friend. long time. i m thrilled to be here. nice to have you. will cain is here as well. we all know will cain. back again. got lots to talk about this morning. our starting point though is rick santorum waking up a big winner this morning as he swept all three states last night. strong victories in missouri and in minnesota. and a nail baiter win in the state of colorado. santorum says it is not just a victory for him but for the party overall. tonight was not just a victory for us. tonight was a victory for the voices of our party, conservatives and tea party people who are out there every single day in the vineyards building the conservative movement in this country, building the base of the republican party, and building a voice for freedom in this land. thank you. ron brownstein is the editorial director at the national journal and he will join our panel this morning. he has gotten so much better as a candidate, not ron brownstein, but rick
establishment, the wall street establishment. but again, a big wing of the republican party does not like what newt gingrich has done here. they feel as if he is here i m quoting the limbaugh, using the language of the left. bret: it s not just newt gingrich. it was jon huntsman, it was rick perry in south carolina holding a presser today saying that bain capital is like vulture company leaving carcasses in its wake. that is strong language. he is in south carolina. it is strong language. and in south carolina he pointed specifically to a couple of companies that used to be based in the south carolina towns. he is really personalizing this. i m not sure how much juice governor perry has on this message. i am guess leg does have, is holding attention of the people in the room. he is not the most strongest, he is not the strongest messenger at this point to make the case. it will be interesting to see tomorrow and thursday if the conversation is reset. or if it s intensified. bret:
it was the only outsider in the race speaking from his heart on his conservative social fiscal and tea party record. it was the only one in the wall street establishment the members of congress still in the race almost 60 years of combined service in washington that left us with ear marks with debt. per perry has been out in the real world don t get me wrong he has been an effective governor in texas vocontroversial but very popular. he is at the bottom of the barrel in most of the polls including south carolina. it would be a real miracle for them to emerge in the top 3 or 4. geraldo we have seen this race be extremely fluid. candidates who were nowhere one
