is expected to jump in tomorrow and for the first time iowans can do a write in vote ferry those not on the ballot. and chris wallacea front row seat for the action, joining us live from iowa. what did you think of this debate? >>chris: very interesting. but in all fairness i got to say and i was asking the questions of bachmann and pawlenty it was pretty easy to get them going. there could be just one ticket out of iowa for pawlenty and bachmann and they are both grabbing for it. they both of course come from minnesota, across the border from iowa and they both appeal to the same voters, tea partyers and conservatives, and bachmann at this point is whipping pawlenty in the polls and he was trying to scuff her up and she fought right back. so, yes i'm glad i got them going but it wasn't hard. >>jon: and then there was not gingrich. listen to this. >> speaker, one of the ways we judge a candidate is the campaign they run. how do you respond to people with say your campaign has been a mess so far? >>guest: i took seriously the injunction to put aside talking points and i wish you would put aside the gotcha questions.

they feel so strongly about not raising taxes that a ten-1 deal they would walk away from. now to chris wallace with a round of questions on health care. >> chris: governor pawlenty, you admit -- you've said that the president's plan and the romney plan are so similar that you called them both obamnicare. you said i don't think you can prosecute the political case against president obama if you are a co-conspirator. can you tell governor romney what he and president obama have conspired to do? >> i don't want to miss that chance again chris. mitt, look obamacare care was pat -- patterned after mitt's plan in misdemeanor. to say they are not essentially the same plan is incredible. that's why i called it obamni care and that is a fair label and i'm happy to call it that again tonight many that's not the only similarity if we are going to take him on, we have to contrast with him on other important issues. in spending, i've got the best spending record, minnesota -- mitt ran up his spending over four years. in the area of judicial selections the boston globe said two out of three or so of mitt's

yard unless it's you because i'll only do one acre and, you know, suddenly there's a lot of laughter and chris wallaced like to respond. no, that's ok. he had a big smile on his face. take the joke. >> one of the other names that was brought up and one of the candidates who was missing from the stage apart from michelle bachmann not showing up after one of the commercial breaks and bret baier asking, we're missing a candidate. there was a candidate missing and empty podium in the middle. she made it back on stage and handled it with grace and there was one candidate who was not there who is set to announce, of course, tomorrow in south carolina. that is texas governor rick perry. his name was sort of hovering above the debate the entire night. and bret baier asked the candidates, did he outsmart all of you by basically avoiding iowa? >> it's interesting. some people think he's made a mistake. notable people like governor huckabee who won the iowa straw poll the last time around and did very well in iowa. he said to use his words, it was a dis to iowans to announce your campaign right before the straw

she handled it in a very human moment for her. >> fox's chris wallace also defended the question, telling show, "in these days of women's liberation, which is a hilarious acronym, for her to submit, so i submitted, it is worthy of note." joining me now, irin carmon, reported for jesabelle.com. what was your reaction when you saw that? >> you know, i don't often find myself in the company of byron and chris wallace, but it was a perfectly legitimate question. we're talking about somebody, first of all, she made the statement about being a submissive wife after she was in public in 2006. we're talking about somebody who has her entire political career until very recently when he's opportunistically gotten interested in economics has legislated and tried to legislate and be an activist driven by people's personal lives. really interested in secular education, teaching children homosexuality, opposing homosexuality. i think it's fair game to say to what extent you talk about your marriage informs your ideas for this country. >> so the argument there is it's the nature of what the ideological

and fox managed to make a few feathers fly this time around many from the glitter king i'm self newt gingrich i don't really like newt but. did he give that small chris wallace a well deserved it there. how do you respond to people who say that your campaign has been a mess so thought oh me said first of all chris that i took seriously bret's injunction to put aside the talking points and i wish you would put aside the gotcha questions. thousands i'd love to see the rest of tonight's debate asking us about what we would do to lead america whose president has failed to lead instead of playing mickey mouse games. i. speak or gingrich if you think questions about your records or mickey mouse i'm sorry i think those are questions that a lot of people want to hear the answers to and you're responsible for your record so. the get a rebuttal part lie think that there's too much attention paid by the plesk or about the campaign minutia and not enough paid by the press corps to the basic ideas to distinguish us from morocco. but even stranger than its dazzling rhetorical performance which won't be enough to save his campaign it seems like he's copying some of wrong a

have a great week. chris wallace will be back for the next fox news sunday.

newt gingrich made a mistake by attacking chris wallace over a question that was not only an appropriate question but a necessary question. you have to ask newt gingrich why his campaign impleaded. it's clearly a legitimate question. he looked silly and foolish whining about it. on the other hand if you look at his answer on the economy and getting tough legislation through a bipartisan congress, it was easily -- easily the best answer on the stage. i think it was true of the immigration answer and later what he called the stupid debt committee, he not only gave an answer that i thought would appeal to republican primary voters in its tone and skepticism about this setup, but also, made a substantive critique of the debt committee that i think was right on the mark, so overall, if you look at his substantive answers, i think newt gingrich had the best night. the problem for republicans is, he's not going to be president. bill: does last night sift any of the eight out of the poll? >> probably not. if there is that kind of sifting, it will come after the straw poll tomorrow. i don't think

how when there was -- he found a way to move forward. >> they opened it up, and he consistently asked the best questions. chris wallace was the second questioner. chris wallace stayed on stuff that had nothing to do with policy. gingrich called him on it. it was a great moment for him. who else scored in this debate? >> i think that romney scored. nothing happened that upset his position. he is now very clearly the front runner. >> the front runner wins when he doesn't get it. >> absolutely. maybe rick perry will knock him off his pedestal. he sounded confident and looked like a president. he did not look crazy, which you cannot say for some of the other candidates up there tonight. i think he did himself some good. that moment you identified when they all raised their hands, those guys testifying before congress, the tobacco company raising their hands. remember that shot? this was and i can't think. that was the only thing that the republican party stands for. it does not stand for and deficit-reduction, which is more in tune with where the american people are. they want to get off the credit card. they do not stand

a second. this is kind of awkward for me because is he going after people that are my friends chris wallace and bret baier. is this smart? is this a part of newt gingrich saying the mainstream media, including fox news is a problem? >> well, i thought it would have been far more credible if the person if he went after chris matthews or george stephanopoulos, going after wallace and bret, i thought, that people liked them. but i did feel that he came across as elitist and cranky when he did that. >> juan: one last thing for you, dick. the white house says hey, wait a second, how come all these guys and lady on the stage say ten two one we wouldn't take that deal on taxes that they are out of touch with the american people? did the debate leave republicans look like they are not willing to do anything but talk to the base. >> no. there is a vast difference between how you would vote if you sat in congress and the clock was ticking and you were one minute to midnight. what they were saying was that they wanted a better deal and they would have held out for a better deal. and i think that the ameri

a gotcha question -- >> no, it's not. >> no. >> then the angry thumb went after chris wallace. >> how do you respond to people who say that your campaign has been a mess so far? >> let me say first of all, chris, that i took seriously bret's injunction to put aside the talking points. i wish you would put aside the gotcha questions. [cheers and applause] >> greg: wow. in fairness, they were way over the line. >> oh, yeah. caller: santorum and paul chatted about polygamy. >> i think marriage should be between a single man and a single woman and that the federal government shouldn't be involved. i want less government involvement. i don't want the federal government having a marriage police. i want the states to deal with it if they have to, if they need to. sounds to me like represent paul would say that polygamous marriages would be okay. and it is not beyond reality, ron, it's exactly what is being offered in other states and being litigated in our courts, which is how gay marriage came about, as we see here in the state of iowa, where seven justices forced gay marriage on the people of iowa. >> fun fact. ron paul has kept ev

it is a turn around from may when 50 percent of voters felt president obama should be re-elected and 44 percent saying he should not. with us new to break it down, chris wallace, the host of fox news sunday, great to see you. you look at numbers and it really is a pretty significant turn around in two months. >>chris: absolutely and the fact is, you look at all the polls, people around the country who watch what was going on here in washington for the last month were disgust asked i don't think there was any winner. "new york times" poll shows that 80 percent disapprove of congress the highest number since they began asking that question in the 1970's and it rubbed off on everybody, on congress, on republican and democratic leaders on capitol hill and certainly rubbed off on president. the question is, we're talking august of 2011 and a lot of things will change between now and 12 -- 2012 and you and be sure if not billions of dollars in the war chest, the democrats will go after that republican nominee. >>trace: you look at the numbers and there is a long way to go but the president came into office and independents are key here, came in with 62 percent of i

nobody is more outspoken about that -- a lot of people are outspoken about it, but one of the most perhaps is texas congressman ron paul and he sat down with chris wallace in a great interview yesterday, talking about what he thinks needs to be done to get america working again. >> it's been over ten years that our economy has been flipping, so they would say hands off, give us a sound currency, free up the markets, property rights, enforce contracts, make sure people go bankrupt when they're bankrupt, an don't bail out their buddies, don't let the federal reserve create money out of thin air and bail out their buddies. the most important thing about economics is the artificially low interest rates which cause business people, savers, and consumers to do the wrong things, they make mistakes. it's sort of like a price control that causes all the problems. >> congressman, we have less than a minute left. fed chairman bernanke announced this week that he is not going to take any immediate action to boost the economy. do you think that your criticism which is now being echoed by some other republicans, both in the presidential race and in congress, do you t

to analyzing that debate think he had a very good debate in part because he went after us and the questions. but arguably, defending the questions, one, chris wallace was asking about how he runs his campaign, if he's going the run the country, that's a fair country about how you run your campaign. two, on the libya question he did say those things, and the question was are you certain about the way forward now. after the debate he thought he had a pretty good debate, and if you look at it, i think it was pretty interesting across the two hours and substantive despite all the focus and the coverage on the back and forth and the process and the questions. megyn: you know, i had to laugh because in the law, when i used to practice law they used to tell you you can beat up on a witness if witness is unsympathetic. so when i saw him beating up on chris wallace, i thought, oh, that's okay, no one's going to feel bad for chris wallace. but when i saw him beating up on you, bret baier, i thought it differently. >> reporter: well, thanks, buddy. [laughter] i do want to say one thing. megyn: yeah, go ahead. >> reporter: go ahead, go ahead. megyn: i was just

. >> gingrich was ready to rumble even giving chris wallace an earful after a question about his strugglingshington's newly formed super committee. >> the idea that 523 senators and common are going to sit around for four months while 12 brilliant people mostly picked for political reasons are going to sit in some reason and brilliantly come up with a trillion dollars or force us to choose between gutting our military and accepting a tax increase is irrational. they're going to walk in just before thanksgiving and say we can shoot you in they had or cut off your right leg. which do you prefer? what they ought to do is scrap the committee right now. recognize it's a dumb idea. go back to regular legislative business. assign every subcommittee the task of finding savings. do it in the open and get rid of this secret, phony business. >> who's the winner? >> i have to give it to newt gingrich. he's going to have a voice now. >> he really fought. >> he really fought and laid down a good gauntlet. he's going to be the one more than anyone else who can focus us on the issue. >> okay. i don't know

they're looking for a bigger crowd this year. chris wallace and newt gingrich, that was entertaining. the tone of it was little more aggressive than i was anticipating. host: is that a good thing? caller: i like them speaking their mind and going after the truth. it was not as aggressive as it appeared on tv. i do not know if they showed when michele bachmann was not there, when it came back from a commercial break. but during the other commercials, they announced 60 seconds left for the candidates to get back to the stage. during that break, they were not announcing it over the system like they had prior to that. i think that is probably why she did not show up. host: are you going to the straw poll on saturday? caller: yes, i am. i am undecided. i registered with michelle bachmann. host: thank you, very much. and i won in the debate last night. we appreciate your call. this is florida, a democrat. caller: good morning, susan. how are you? your the first person to ever take my call. nice talking to begin. the one to say i would not vote for a

a glimpse of the real newt last night. they loved it. i will stand up for chris wallace right now and say that was a totally legit question. what he was talking about was basically this. if you can't run your campaign, if you're having trouble running your campaign how do you run the executive branch of the federal government? it was fair and eupl bounds. but everybody likes it when you work the efs in a boxing match and that's what he did with chris and it was effective. jon: for mitt romney it was an important performance. he has not worked real hard in iowa, as i understand it. i haven't been there myself. he hasn't worked real hard in iowa but he did well enough in the debate, do you think? >> reporter: i think he did well enough. i think what he has done, and this is so information, is get moderate republicans to coul republicans to stick with him. rick pe perry is going to try to unite the right and take people away from tim pawlenty and michelle bachmann. they'll say he's the guy that can do it and he has the cool under fire and toughness that he needs to get thro

michelle bachman's tent was elbow to elbow at 9:30, 10:00 o'clock this morning and as chris wallace said earlier, she bought up as. then there is tim pawlenty, a short while ago over in his tent, it was a huge crowd. well over 1,000 people there. his own aides say our barbecue was good. but they also believe that so was pawlenty's organization in advance of this. it's only a matter of time now that they count this thing up and what we're hearing from behind the

i should have mentioned my friend bret baier there, sitting in for chris wallace in case people were confused. what ak and forth, and it strikes me a bit brad of a preview of what we may hear on the campaign trail, no matter who the republican nominee is and president obama about who is to blame for the messy with in. >> absolutely. but the obama people are going to go to their play book and blame george bush burks the american people just don't buy it. we're seeing it in the polls, this president has been president for 2 1/2 years, there is no more george w. bush, the president himself said if i'm not able to accomplish what i promised, then i deserve to be a one-term president. mr. president, you deserve to be a one-term president. your foreign policy has been less than spectacular, and your economic policy has been an utter disaster. megyn: but you know, dick, yes, there was some blaming bush, by bill burton, but there was also blaming the current republicans who are in the house of representatives who he says are stifling the president's job creating agenda. is he going to be able to get away wit

a good night. actually had the audience at one point booing fox news, in his favor, actually booing chris wallace.e to boo. huntsman, his voice was shaking. did anybody notice huntsman sounded nervous while he was talking. i didn't get it, but i want to say, my big takeaway last night, to have somebody like michele bachmann, she's tailor-made for hot august nights, a year before serious presidential elections, when iowa, the whole world focuses on iowa and it's like this conspiracy. it's the base of both parties. mainly the base of the republican party in the iowa pushing somebody that is never going to win. they were going to never get close to winning the presidential nomination, never get close to being a vice president, never going to be close being relevant a year from now, you've got the republican base doing that in iowa, and it's like a conspiracy, because then the media can run articling on these people who are on the far right and point for a year about, look how whacked out the republican party is, and then -- and i was predicting this four years ago, i want to make my point here. four

chris wallace, this is exciting. >> it is exciting. i have to say two things. michelle bachmann got 4823 votes. that is interesting . the almost aes for ron paul and pawlenty -- 2200. i think there are three michelle bachmann won and that cements her position as a serious player . ron paul with very little money and a lot of organization. grass roots organization came in only 200 votes behind her and tim pawlenty, a distant third. he said if he finished, he would have to decide tomorrow whether to reark sess the campaign. i think he will have to reassess. >> i don't think he necessarily gets out. but not one he can be happy about. michelle doubled the total . ron paul doubled the total of tim pawlenty. he focused his campaign on a good result here in ames and he didn't get it. >> karen? >> i think he's going to have a lot of trouble holding his organization and keeping his talent and another thing he may want to think about preserving his viability for a running mate to who ever gets the nomination and all of those will be in his calculation going forward. >> and we are just received word that karl cameron is standing by with th

chris wallace. to tim geithner, if america was being run by a business, there's no way he stays in this position.time in our nation's history to have our credit rating downgraded like this is not met with any sort of consequence. i'm disappointed in the people on my side of the aisle, people on the right who are blasting the messenger, s&p, for their decision to do this when no one disagrees with the reasons they've stated to downgrade our credit rating. so, i mean, everybody's to blame. the democrats and the republicans, but the republicans have one-third of the government right now, and for a democrat president to defend a guy like timothy geithner is absolutely inconceivable. but it shows, it speaks, i think, megyn, to the objection nance, to the stubbornness, to the sort of tone deafness of the obama administration as a whole. megyn: what about the stubbornness on the right? if you really want to get serious about cutting into this debt, then what you hear from the left over and over again is you have to have increased revenues in addition to entitlement spending cutbacks. you've got to have

we have a $5.70 trillion deficit and the relevancy of the polls is a goes over the head of the media. if you talk with chris wallacend those guys, they are catering to martini republicans. we need to stop the spending. i just got back from erie, pennsylvania. when i look at my home town, all places degenerating. the look of these people moving into neighborhoods where we were poor and we made the place is better. go back to places like detroit and cleveland and any place democrats are running, they say don't make it better. host: its relevancy to our topic of the straw poll? caller: the straw poll will let us know -- if you cannot figure out herman cain, michelle bachmann, all good candidates and people are trying to hear these terms that sarah palin is a relic. she has 10 times more attention than obama did. when obama came through in 2007, the media can try to attain things -- can try to change things that the tea party is i thank you for your time. host: at 8:45, we will again return to this topic. we'll talk about the straw poll and break it down for you at home and you will have a chance to weigh in on the pro
