campaigning, taking that outsider washington message, taking that conservative fiscal and social record directly to those voters we think is really paying off. ray, you mentioned the outsider message. this is a super pac, not affiliated with the governor, but a super pac that is supporting him. here s an ad that they are running in iowa. let s watch it. i want to come back and get your reaction. decades ago, gingrich goes to washington, romney runs pro-choice campaign for senate, gingrich found guilty of ethics violations. mitt creates romney care. rick perry, creates a million new jobs, cuts taxes, reduces regulations. the proven conservative. first of all, let me say, i love the ipad usage in that ad, but, ray, the question i have for you is who is governor perry s main rival here? who does he the race started out, we thought it was going to be romney versus perry. but then newt gingrich has risen. is it mitt romney, is it newt
romney versus perry. at some point in time, the voters are going to say, we re not going to take a flyer on herman cain anymore and go with rick perry who s conservative. i think that s what mitt romney s got to be careful of. you ve already done that, right, john? what s that? you ve already done what you just said? you ve already decided on romney. well, you know, i m unaffiliated right now. he s following. okay. i know where you re headed. i know where there s more opportunity ahead with romney. nothing wrong with that. anyway, marco rubio made his personal story as the son of exiles as a big part of his biography and here s an ad from his senate campaign. let s listen to it. it s not something i read about in a book. as the son of exiles, my parents were born into a society pretty much like every other? the world, where if you re not from the right family or with another enough money, you can only go so far. well, there it is. today s politico reports that rubio may
retract into the collar like a turtle. he doesn t seem to like being there physically. you know what this is, chris, it s the strategy, it s the rope-a-dope strategy without the rope. i like that. john is absolutely right. you hang a lantern on it. if people are concerned you re not quite ready for primetime, the answer is to give them some reason that you think you are. the answer is not to stop showing up in primetime to prove their points. let s do tactics. people tell me there s a couple other candidates. republicans don t like the front-runner. they re always looking for somebody else to put up there, because they don t like the person who s up there. newt gingrich, people tell me, is going to start going well into double digits now, if there s no perry in the debate showing up. he ll just take his place as the right-winger against romney. will that happen? i m asking you an open question. i don t think so, chris. i think this is still pretty much a two-person race, as r
i don t think so, chris. i think this is still pretty much a two-person race, as romney versus perry. at some point in time, the voters are going to say, we re not going to take a flyer on herman cain anymore and go with rick perry who s conservative. i think that s what mitt romney s got to be careful of. you ve already done that, right, john? what s that? you ve already done what you just said? you ve already decided on romney. well, you know, i m unaffiliated right now. he s following. okay. i know where you re headed. i know where there s more opportunity ahead with romney. nothing wrong with that. anyway, marco rubio made his personal story as the son of exiles as a big part of his biography and here s an ad from his senate campaign. let s listen to it. it s not something i read about in a book. as the son of exiles, my parents were born into a society pretty much like any other in the world, where if you re not from the right family or with another money, you can
for continuing the fight. hang in there for the american people. i will. ahead, the hottest political fight in the nation just got hotter. it s romney versus perry. no holds barred. and they re cheering them on in the white house.
