new hampshire, senator bob smith and dave wheeler who's executive counselor, and former speaker bill o'brienwe've got a great team here in new hampshire. we're not going to change our message for new hampshire. the 603 alliance here in new hampshire was formed from pro-gun groups, pro-family group s, pro-life groups, pro-business groups that wanted to come together and not let the establishment nominate another moderate candidate and because there are six candidates really competing for the same vote, there is an opportunity for conservatives to do very well here. so we hope if those conservatives turn out and unite behind ted cruz, we're looking forward to a good night next tuesday. >> how much time is he going to be spending in new hampshire? because he was there earlier but he's already in south carolina. >> well, he'll be back shortly, in fact, he may have already arrived back in new hampshire. will be here for the duration. we'll be here all week. >> okay. the fact that rubio was able to do much better in iowa than expected, is your campaign worried that he might be able to capitalize o

[applause] e-mail, there are pundits who say in the media who say that in new hampshire a conservative cannot win the new hampshire republican primary. i like to ask all of you, is that the case? there are those who say that in order to show the view of pose correctness you have to adopt rhetoric that is alienating. you have to use obscenities and insult people. is that the way we show we are liberated from the constraints of political correctne
