mitt romney s final vote total than to rick santorum. in the end a lot of evangelical christians are saying it s important to line up behind rick santorum because he most courageous lee and ferociously represents their values on social issues. if that happens and rick santorum stays close to gingrich that means the not romney primary continues and goes to florida on january 31st. if you re mitt romney that s what you want. jenna: he is very well funded and his fortune looks good to florida. why are we putting so much stock in south carolina? maybe gingrich takes south carolina, maybe not, what is it about people saying, if rick santorum doesn t win here he s done. reporter: they ve never been wrong since 1980. they have value since ronald reagan and going forward they have validated each republican
of new hampshire, and then he goes on to win south carolina, he s going to be in excellent, excellent shape going into florida on january 31st. it s going to be a one, two, three sweep and pretty much the odds makers would say it s his if he does it. if he can do that, if he can win desize civil in new hampshire and then south carolina, i don t know who s going to drop out, who s not going to drop out. he ll be in very good shape. he s got a lot of organization. lots of money. he s playing it smart. we ll see how he does. i was talking to someone who works on your show in the gym, chris sanchez somebody who works on my show? yeah. i did a blitzer this morning. i ran five miles. wow. we said we re going to start calling it the blitzer. i ran 5 miles this morning, too. the blitzer. run five miles in the morning. by the way, get ready, guess who is going to be in the situation room in our 5:00 p.m. eastern hour? herman cain. all right. remember what he called m
new hampshire union leader came out for gingrich, now the boston globe has backed huntsman, not the former massachusetts governor, mitt romney. we received the endorsement of about half the papers in the state. we just got the endorsement of the boston globe. we re moving forward. i feel very good about where we sit in new hampshire because i know this state loves an underdog. romney with a commanding lead in new hampshire polling. he s spending as much time as possible down south in south carolina. that state votes on the 21st. check out this poll, brand-new showing romney s hard work is paying off. he s now running well ahead of santorum, gingrich and ron paul who are all bunched up there in mid-field. romney will be back in new hampshire in time for dinner. in the face of republican outrage, president obama is standing by and with his consumer financial protection bureau and the man that he has chosen to lead it. mr. obama visited the bureau personally just two
hampshire. new hampshire, i have to tell you, i would say new hampshire really probably won t mean much, because most polls show he s going to win, and so that s not much of a victory there either. so what is important? when we look at what s coming up primarywise, what are the key battle grounds? certainly south carolina is going to be potentially decisive for them in their field. and florida on january 31st, my home state, we re always pivotal. but this nomination process on their side seems like it s going to drag out a bit. because there is an obvious lack of enthusiasm for their side of the field. they re rooting around on the republican side, trying to co d coalesce behind anyone. because when you re willing to say or do anything to get elected, i think most of the american people, i know for me,
