of obama and clinton. it is much different really because that was a two-person race. at some point somebody had to realize that somebody was going to get a majority of the delegates. in a three or four person race that is not the case. gingrich is right. they can tag team and extend this thing. it is about leverage. where is the maximum leverage for one of these candidates to stay in or out and to me it is all for staying in. howard, some republicans, bill crystal is trying to insist this is all good for the party. he said today if romney were to earn the nomination in these circumstances he would be far better off than if he had clinched the nomination early by outspending and outmuscling a divide field. if santorum were to win, he would have a real wind at his back going to the election. i can buy the santorum piece of it. it doesn t feel so real about romney. romney s been hurt badly it seems in this. i think you are right,
not think you ll end quickly anywher anywhere. do you think it will weaken him, going through this bruising battle, you are providing not you, republicans, they are laying out the road map for the obama campaign. the issue that the democrats are happy about are the files from the ethics committee against gingrich. nancy pelosi knows what is in there, if she knows what is in there, barack obama knows. if they know shouldn t the republican voters in the primaries know? why wouldn t gingrich be a stronger candidate than romney given his performance last night? the people know we are electing a president not a high school debate team member.
rick santorum sweep of alabama and mississippi primaries. the best chance to win this is to nominate a conservative. rick santorum has all of the momentum now. senator santorum is at the desperate end of his campaign. romney finished third in both southern states. mitt romney forced to spend $2 million in mississippi and alabama. he said in alabama i m going to win here. tell me what mitt romney needs to say. he s got a message problem and narrative problem? the messaging question. he s busy talking about cheesy grits and y all and going around trying to be a regular guy. the vast number of the base does not want him. if you are the front runner and you come in third you are not much of a front runner. if i m a weak front runner, what does that make newt gingrich. what happened to newt gingrich last night? newt gingrich vowing to roll on to tampa. i emphasize going to tampa. newt vowed to take his fight to tampa in he made it clear he is not getting ou
we have seen so many campaigns that have been so tough and brutal and think of how can they get together but they always do. but this does feel different. really du. hard to imagine there could be a reconciliation between gingrich and romney. thank you both for joining me tonight. thank you, lawrence. coming up, something we didn t get to last night. we got interrupted by a victory speech by snoumpl. the romney family problem of saying things they shouldn t. this one is from mitt romney s son matt romney. and michael moore will be here tonight. he will be in the spotlight. and the last word tonight goes to sandra fluke the woman who rush limbaugh attacked so viciously that his biggest advertisers have given up on him.
