>>> more now as voters flock to the poll in new hampshires. candidates have trying to make one last pitch by sniping at each other. ed, obviously, we know these negative campaigns work in iowa. they're really going after mitt romney in the last 48 hours . what's your take?
>> i think there's no question that the guy that has take tennessen the big here is mitt romney . now you have newt gingrich spending $3 million in south carolina for negative ads coming up over the next ten days. mitt romney better be ready for what's going to hit him in south carolina . i just visited with chairman of conservative hq. he's a big wig. they want one candidate. they don't want anybody with mitt romney . they want to see a coalescing between gingrich, perry and santorum . one of those three would be just fine, but it isn't going to happen before south carolina . this is be real interesting. second place doesn't matter that much to the conservatives.
>> i was speaking with trey gow gowdy. he's not a member of the tea party but he supports the tea party in a big way. gingrich and perry will stop in his district on their way to south carolina . that will be first stop. he claim he's spoken with all these tea party members that say we don't have to coalesce around one or two people. they're still feeling the audience out and if it's mitt romney then they will get behind mitt romney in an effort to defeat president obama . you buy that?
>> i'm not hearing a lot of that. the governor of south carolina , everybody is making a big deal about how she ? is supporting mitt romn romney . her approval rating is 50%. that's not a huge endorsement. plus, her administration has been plagued by a number of different scandals in her first year. something's going to have to come together for the conservatives in south carolina . what that is remains to be seen. here is the one thing about romney . if you're 2-0, you're 2-0. if you're undefeated going to south carolina . they will have to make the case nationally that we won the first two, we're going to win this thing. fall in line. this is another reason why romney 's crowd just spent $1.7 million. this big buy by newt gingrich is big. a second place by possibly newt gingrich . the latest poll you mentioned in the first half hour is something to look at. new hampshire may play into this big time . we'll see.
>> what's happened to rick santorsan t toe santorum ? i know you spent time with him.
>> the social issues don't play as well in new hampshire as they do in the middle of the country if he is get in the high teens and get a respectable third place finish, it will only help him in south carolina amends he and help him with the social conservatives . santorum , it surprises me he hasn't ? played better in new hampshire . maybe it's because of the resources or the horrible campaign week that he had. be way he's been con fronted on the campaign trail. he did not have a very good debate on saturday night in sunday he was a lot better on nbc. he's been somewhat of a disappointment in new hampshire , but he still has time to recover.
>> he's been m.i.a. in new hampshire . i don't think he has an event planned. his campaign says they got a million dollars in donation right after iowa in just three days. i want to transition you to this line of attack regarding bain capital . perry 's team had an app that you can go on and you would hear mitt romney say i like firing peop people. his folks say it was taken out of context. he was talking about firing someone when a company not provietding good health care . it's coming from republicans. many people are saying the republicans have given a gift to president obama and he will deliver it straight to mitt romney if he secures the gop nomination.
>> we're the perfect people to explain what mitt romney is going through right now. sometimes in the media, we say something and you have to come back and explain it. for a politician, that's not a good place to be especially when you've got heated competition. you know they will jump on a certain line. the bad thing about that line, tamron, is there's a track record of him firing people that goes long with that? comment. it's easily picked up and re regurgita regurgitated. now can he be on the campaign trail so long and not have the political moxy to understand what he's saying in the moment. he wasn't smart enough to clarify. don't make a polimistake of what i'm saying here. he just said it so off the cuff that it didn't matter if people got fired. the way it's being interpreted leaves a gray area . it will the be a question mark for a lot of voters moving forward.
>> all right. i know you have a lot going on. thanks for joining us. greatly appreciate it.
