mara? >> that is quite a lead. like he is doing what all the other anti-romney wannabes couldn't do, consolidate the conservative anti-romney vote. so newt gingrich is on the top of the pack. those polls you showed. plus florida shows pretty much the same thing. newt is really surging. the question now is what is the successful attack line for romney to use against him? i don't think the clips you showed, i don't think the career politician will work because newt gingrich doesn't look like a blow-dried politician. he is totally authentic in that he has tremendous numbers of flaws, rumpleed, speaks his mind. especially when he gets himself in trouble. i don't think that romney can use the flip-floper charge against gingrich either because he has that problem himself. i do think the erratic leadership line might work a little better. i am waiting to see if he or his surrogates use that. >> bret: whether romney can deliver an attack or have the surrogates do it for him, there is concern in the romney camp. former sena

mara what is the evidence that these efforts are targeted at obama voters?the evidence is certainly that those are the groups going to be impacted most heavily. these are laws that are requiring government-issued photo id to vote and we know that the groups that are most -- least likely to have a government-issued photo i.d. are african-americans, are the elderly and are young people and those are the groups that you have traditionally supported democratic candidates around certainly came out in large numbers for president obama. when it comes to african-americans, you know, nationally, about 12% of eligible voters did not have the kind of i.d. that's required, but african-americans that number is 25%. which knee people over 65 are much less likely to have a driver's license and the when it comes to young people, people in college, they are much more transient so they are less likely to have an i.d. that has an address on it that reflect the address that they are currently living in. so all indications at this point are that the groups that are going to be m
