Will actually win him some points. it s this hostile rhetoric which unfortunately, and i don t want to stand here and be a defender of mitt romney, but, unfortunately, even some in our own party now and even some running for president will engage in with respect to capitalism. you know the rule. multi candidate races when candidate a attacks candidate b and candidate c, d, or e benefits. the obama campaign announced the campaign had raised more than $68 million in the fourth quarter including more than $42 million for the campaign itself and another $24 million for the dnc. and another million or so raised by the, quote, swing state victory fund which targets battle ground states. now for the first time yesterday the president visited his re-election campaign headquarters in chicago and kept cameras away. he held three fundraisers including one in his old hyde park neighborhood where he joked, i don t want people talking about me. he s a good president but nobody is mowing the lawn ....
Street? no. let me talk about something else you are behind, which is the popular vote initiative. tell me what it is and what kind of ads you are running in iowa. what the popular vote initialtive is basically this. every four years we elect a president of the united states through the electoral college. it s a system called winner take all by state. in other words, in state say in new york if candidate a gets 51% of the vote, candidate a gets all the electoral votes in the state of new york and consequently candidate b gets none of them. what national popular vote is all about let s have a national election, count up all the votes for the country and the winner wins. four times in our history we ve had a president become elected to the office without getting the most votes. and unfortunately i have to wrap it up there. but people can learn more about it at fox and friends.com. thanks so much, tom. see you again soon. all right. thank you coming up next, a man goes missing o ....
A number of runs at him in these debat debates. what s the most likely sna scenario where romney has a problem. when we get into a protracted republican primary season. because we re no longer in a winner take all situation. if this becomes a highly ideological race, a binary choice between candidate a, candidate b, and candidate a is the conservative candidate to mitt romney s more establishment candidate. it could be that mitt romney s fundamental problem in this race is that everybody who works in the political elite and the media elite think he s going to be the republican nominee. and the actual republican voters may say no way. we re sick and tired of it. the real threat is, i agree with steve. a competent conservative running against mitt romney one-on-one beats mitt romney. i ve got to believe that if mike huckabee were out there right now and had raised some money, mike huckabee would be way ....
and newt gingrich came out out and talked about governor huckabee. spiritualdy mngs of the life and process, it s a wonderful example of all americans of someone doing the right thing. he will be a major force for conservativism and play a major role in shaping america as future. what does it mean. let s break it down. rick lawrie for the national review for his take on all of this. nice to see you. great to see you. so break it down for us, what does it mean going forward? one of the big things you saw back when governor huckabee gave an interview to the washington post back in february was one of the big factors. he didn t think that it was going to be as easy to be as president obama as others painted going forward and could have been one of the big decisions in all of this. yeah, i think it leaves a big hole in the field. if you look at the republican politics since 1980, candidate a wins iowa, candidate b wins ....
Statements that do look like they re in conflict. own the one hand you have president obama saying repeatedly and publicly he had nothing to do and none of his representatives had anything to do with filling the senate seat by his election to the isn tsy, he has repeatedly said that in public, however, according to the redacted portions of the subpoena, it looks like possibly that he may have a conflict there in terms of the statement, because we have a labor official, a labor union official, saying well, wait a minute, in november, and december of 2008, mr. obama told me something different. he expressed a view that he would like that old barack obama senate seat to be filled by what they call senate candidate b, who is, in fact, we now know, valarie jarrett, who is a top level official in the white house. megyn: not only that, but according to rod blagojevich subpoena, again, he talked about tony redco, a ....
