But a newt surrogate right now. not so with rush limbaugh, though. correct. and a lot of people have been mistakenly saying that rush has gotten behind newt. he s not going there. and i think newt gingrich did more to hurt himself with people like rush limbaugh and other bedrock conservatives with those silly bain attacks a couple of weeks ago. i think we need to e-mail one of our reporters e-mailed rush limbaugh yesterday before the vote and limbaugh said he was undecided on who you re going to vote for. so you re right, if he ended up voting for romney, that would be a huge surprise and big blow to gingrich. gingrich, i do agree damaged himself with the way he went at romney and gave some of these conservatives real pause. and the anti-establishment conservative movement is so spread out, there is no real leader other than maybe sarah palin and newt gingrich and a few others, and that s what ....
Differentiate him from mitt romney. basically the differences right now are stylistic, not that substantive. i don t see huge disagreements between the two. i think he s going to want to draw a clear line and really try to define himself as that conservative alternative. and if he can do that and somehow get a big endorsement, maybe that can help give him lift in what s otherwise going to be a tough month for him. who are we kidding? newt gingrich will never get this nomination. cpak, it doesn t matter, we re talking to ourselves. give me one scenario where newt gingrich is the republican candidate? jim vandehei? the scenario would be that there s still a huge contingent of people who don t want romney to be the nominee. i agree. there s a tremendous amount of uncertainty. if santorum weren t around, if conservatives laid their hands on newt, he could be. i would bet on romney, but there s an alternative. somebody s going to be that alternative. donny, you re fighting the l ....
But they all are in this sort of deny romney victory strategy. if they ever want to find their way back. and at some point, they re going to turn on each other. newt gingrich told me today, i said, when you do the simple math in south carolina, if you and santorum split conservatives, 50/50, romney wins with somewhere between 35 and 40%, and gingrich said to me, you know what, let s see what happens early next week. let s see how these ads hit and maybe conservatives will start consolidating around him. he thinks, of course, santorum is hoping it s the other way around. but at some point, you know, there s a big meeting this weekend of a lot of social conservatives, movement conservatives that don t want romney as the nominee, and their goal is to try to figure out if they can consolidate behind one of the two, gingrich or santorum. maybe that happens this weekend in favor of one over the other. and with mitt romney having now 1 won in iowa and new ....
Rush limbaugh. yes, our own eric bolling. we re very proud. eric: what are you trying to say? becausevy a picture of rush with me. kilyou have a too too. eric: no, i don t. not yet. this is brilliant, genius. for a while, a couple of weeks now i said the republican nominees that want to behe nominee should start focusing on obama. start focusing on the job market and the bad economy. rush hit it out of the park. i wasn t even thinking about romney. i was thinking about the ones far right, more conservative like michele bachmann and ron paul or santorum. he is right. if romney moves far right and, you know, basically established republicans who don t want romney to go right, if he does this he will lock up the 20-25% he has had and maybe grab some of the far right conservatives he doesn t have at all right now. kimberly: that is a great strategy. andrea: based on the assumption that the g.o.p. primary voters are gullible. he should he take then advice three years ago. ....
