why? they believe newt gingrich is the only one to knock out the president. romney has to prove he can tonight. >> eric: the great ronald reagan had his 11th command. thou shall not shoot at other -- speak ill of fellow republicans. "national review" came up harsh against newt gingrich. what does that -- >> dana: it post last night. it might be the biggest nerd of the table. my home page is actually "national review." out of us, i saw it first an sent it on to everybody. this is a big deal. "national review" is not speaking ill of fellow republicans. what they are trying to do from their point of view is determine who would be the best conservative candidate to take on the causes of conservatives and be able to run and win in next year? they were trying to say they are all imperfect candidates and the only thing uniting the right is the frustration with the candidates we have. tonight, i agree.

if there are americans who have not watched a debate yet, tonight is the night that that changes. >> eric: bob, the establishment, dana points out "national review" took a shot at gingrich. >> dana: but it's not establishment. unless the earth shifted. >> eric: the establishment clearly has their favorite. what do you make of it? >> bob: the favorite is one of the most flawed candidates i've ever seen. mitt romney is about the worst candidate i can imagine running for president. here is what has happened. the republican establishment, anybody who is a right winger or quasi right winger out of washington united against newt gingrich. they piled on the guy. he handled it well. gingrich is knocking them back. he has been weakened in iowa. grant you that, when you spend $20 million against the guy, nobody is standing up for newt. >> dana: i thought the lead -- >> eric: can you call the establishment right wingers? >> bob: everything from right wingers to conservatives. >> dana: the lead of the editorial against gingrich was

the lead might be but they refuse to endorse romney as well. that is what i took away from this. >> eric: you have a tortureed metaphor. >> greg: my home page is cats. >> dana: i was hoping you would tell us. >> greg: this is about newt returning fire. he has taken more hits than bong in a college dorm. i have like you said a tortureed metaphor. ♪ >> greg: back by unpopular demand. nobody has asked for it. this campaign is not about closing the deal but weeding out the weak. when you are a lonely guy at a single's bar, you don't try to pick up somebody at 9:00 p.m you wait until 1:57 a.m. right now america is on the second or third beer, deciding between the cute guy and the crazy one. but with one eye at the door

for somebody new to come in. >> bob: 2 at 10:00 and 10 at 2:00. >> andrea: that metaphor makes me nervous. you're saying we will be drunk. that is not a good decision. do you make good decisions drunk? >> greg: i don't know what it's like to do it sober. >> eric: you said something important. electability. the operative word. everybody is throwing it around. on the right, we want someone to beat obama. probably hate it. >> andrea: polls say that mitt romney is most electable. if you are a flip-floper on issues. or climate change. that will hurt you with the independents and democrats. you need crossover appeal. the "wall street journal" had an interesting -- bob, i'd like to noah you think about this. they had an interesting piece today that talked about how gingrich might be the best thing for mitt romney.

>> dana: i want to say something and you have to see something you haven't seen. you don't read the "wall street journal." >> bob: yes, i do. >> dana: the column written by dan henniger. mitt romney's blogs are positive. newt gingrich inadequacy are known. time to put it together so they can emerge victorious. this is the editorial cartoon that ran with -- do we have that? bob, that is you! >> bob: let's get back to this. who anointed mitt romney the most electable. somebody in the press said that last year and it became a moniker. as often happens in the presidential races. no evidence, none that this guy is a better candidate against -- >> eric: any of them nil. of them.

>> bob: i would rather have newt gingrich with his issues other -- >> eric: can i throw something out here. this is not a two-man or woman race right now. there are seven or eight -- >> dana: good point. >> eric: the most electable is the one who wins two or three states early. all of sudden they become the most electable. >> greg: the power of pelosi. you can't discount the anti-newt ad. nobody is radioactive to the right as pelosi. i don't think anybody regretted a video so much since mary berry. >> andrea: paris hilltop. kim kardashian? >> bob: true. you know the money spent, the amount of mail that has gone out. it started with a church group that hit newt for the marriage and pamphlets out all over the states. i'm what is built perfectly for negative, under-the-radar

negative stuff. it's scourlous. the next three nights is the most important poll. this debate will determine that poll on monday. >> andrea: you mentioned the other candidates in the race. ron paul in some polls within one point of winning in iowa. tonight, ron paul needs to do what ron paul does best. stays consistent. he can't look crazy. michele bachmann and rick santorum, this is a big night for them, too. if they don't do well in iowa. they will drop out. a lot of states are proportional. at some point as you talk about before, they will have delegates. >> greg: ron paul is a chocolate with a fruit center. you like the chocolate but not the fruit. or you like the fruit but not the chocolate. domestically he sounds great but the foreign policy scares you to death. >> eric: sarah palin said she believes ron paul won't get nomination but who he

endorses is important. >> bob: can i say that -- >> eric:sy have to as -- i have. a lot is made who is the insider and not the insider. everybody wants a non-washington insider. are any of the people really a non-insider? >> dana: it's impossible to get to this level of politics when you run for president and not be somewhat of an insider. except for one person that we haven't talked about tonight yet. he will be at the debate. rick perry. the governor of texas. that doesn't mean you don't, you know, coincide with washington at some point. his campaign has not caught on. >> andrea: jon huntsman -- >> dana: but he worked for president obama. >> bob: are you kidding me? you are kidding me? there is nobody else in the race. they are all gone. michele bachmann, gone. santorum, gone. >> andrea: even you talk about not portional delegate. >> bob: they won't get there

long enough to get the proportional delegates have to get to state to do it. rick perry is low on money. they all are low on money. if you don't score on iowa, the money dries up and the treasure surer says we're out, we're $1 million in debt. >> eric: that the last work. last look at the candidate before iowa picks a winner. big republican dei want to on fox news at 9:00. we'll be watching and hope you will, too. coming up, the man i see of the godfather of the conservative movement. rush limbaugh weighs in on obamacare, and chip on obama's shoulder. e-mail us at malia. thefive@foxnews.com. back in a couple of minutes. ♪ ♪

last night and he went after the president pretty harsh, hitting him on what a lot of people said before. the president has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to the united states of america. listen to this. >> i have often, always suspected that obama has a chip on his shoulder, about the country that he doesn't think of it as great. he doesn't think of it as exceptional. he thinks of it as criminal in many ways. as guilty as many more ways. he thinks that our super power status is the result of theft. resources and ideas from other nations. all over the world. believes the multicultural garbage that we came herek, kicked the indians off the land and brought racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, slavery and all that. >> andrea: i want to go to you about your godfather. i look at the things that president said overseas. he told the french that america has shown arrogance, been dismissive and in europe he was asked if he believes in

american intentionallism. he said the same way the brits do and the same way the greeks do, otherwise means no.

back to haunt him. ann coulter was on "hannity" talking when you run as governor of massachusetts you are not as far right as nobody growing up in nevada, say. that is not to make excuse whether you are a conservative or not. rush limbaugh with tens of millions of listeners a day and for year has been tireless. one thing he has done is give people that little bit of a spine they need. look today. the white house is announcing that they are going to back off on the millionaire sur tack to pay for payroll tax extension. not because of apologists for millionaire but it's bad policy and it doesn't work. i think somebody like rush limbaugh helped on the policy side of things. >> andrea: think he is the head of the republican party? >> dana: i don't think he is head of republican party. he wouldn't call himself that. >> bob: do you think rush limbaugh had comment on what the white house did? >> dana: they couldn't get

the vote. >> bob: let me ask you a question about your godfather. what did happen to the indians when we got here? did we not throw them off the land? >> andrea: c'mon. >> eric: can i point something out -- >> bob: you said we didn't throw indians off the land. where did they go? >> eric: c'mon, bob. let's talk about the, the meat of what he was talking about. >> greg: i'm still not used to the skinny rush. like when they replaced darrens on "bewitched" you knew there was a change and it disturbed you. i want to address the fact he said obama has a chip on his shoulder. he's wrong. it's a jumbo size bag of ruffles. this guy reflects modern cultural from the academic world that it's cooler to think america is inferior to europe. they love it. they love to feed into that. you are a dork if you are patriotic. when you are hanging around -- >> andrea: so greg, you are saying this isn't just obama. this is just liberalism? >> greg: the thing --

>> andrea: which is right. >> greg: to think of him as leader and nonconformist in last 40 years is a joke. he reflects the purest cliche of academia culture. >> andrea: he is in trouble. >> eric: we have to get to this. very important. rush limbaugh points out that everyone, all of them, the established republicans want conservative vote. they just don't want to be seen around town with them. makes a good point. >> bob: here is the problem you've got. you say tack right. tough to tack right when you are not right. >> eric: no, it's not. >> bob: it is! >> eric: newt tried it with immigration. >> bob: as far right as this republican party is today. the chance you get back to the middle are impossible. >> dana: look how hard is it for obama to tack to the center. he can't do it -- >> andrea: he doesn't want to do it. >> bob: at this stage of the game, obama is ahead of some of the guys is amazing. >> andrea: rush brings that up, too. i want your thoughts on that. rush has thoughts about the republican field and the chances of beating president

obama. take a listen. >> if the election were today, no. election today he would lose in a landslide. i don't believe conventional wisdom the republicans only have one person that can beat him. anybody, other than ron paul, could beat obama if the election were tomorrow. easily. >> andrea: bob? you commented before so i want you to comment on it now again. >> bob: it's just, it's ridiculous comment. the fact of the matter is michele bachmann couldn't beat him. rick santorum couldn't beat him. look, but right now, today, this is something about rush. eric could beat him today. but next year, you don't have -- look, you had better accept something here. you don't like to know it. you have a weak field and your best people on the sidelines -- >> andrea: you have a weak president. >> bob: we'll find out, won't we? >> andrea: we will. >> bob: the chance of him losinlosing in a landslide is as much chance of rush getting really skinny. >> greg: people focus on

obama's record rather than newt's past, obama will lose. >> bob: oh! >> andrea: i see you have your little man poster. >> eric: you're on it, my man. every time the one liberal molecule in my body starts to act up, i put the headphones on and listen to an hour of rush and back to normal. >> bob: kiss the backside of the -- [ laughter ] kiss it right there. >> andrea: kiss it. >> eric: i will put it on your back. >> bob: i like rush. i personally like him a lot. he is smart about the right. he understands the right. no request about it. but you don't -- no question about it. but you don't win elections on the rightth >> greg: there is not a single magnetic on the left. when they try to put them out there, nobody listens. >> bob: people on the left are thinkers. >> andrea: on that note, i don't know where to begin. connecticut mayor wants to give illegal aliens a right to vote. can you believe it? i can't. actually, i can. we'll tell you more next. ♪ ♪
