when he went after bobby jindal over the louisiana's governor criticism over his handling of the b.p. telling you, barack obama never forgets. just ask anyone at fox. because for a guy who claims he doesn't watch the so-called cable chatter, he sure can chatter on and on about it. line and verse. that, too, is fine. getting your dander up over how the media is covering you is perfectly acceptable. like when john kennedy bent ballistic on the phone with his general after this photo, this photo which you'll see was in every newspaper. we don't have it. but i can tell you, it showed a proud guard watching over an elaborately decked out hospital room that was being readied in florida for then pregnant jackie kennedy. listen to the president's reaction. >> really bad. i would haven't him running a cat house. colonel tollison -- is he crazy, too?

they may try a bobby jindal. all around iowa, you say, why not chris christie.desperate. ient to think it will happen. but flig is happen. i would say i think one of the reasons republicans are having such a weird season is because i don't think 2008 was allowed it reboot for republicans. george bush didn't have a vice president run. that's the first time that happened in a long time. so we are having old feuds play out had there been a vice presidential pick. we are just startinging to reset the republican field. >> what about the powerful force of the tea party in 2010? what where is it in 2012? santorum will hear a lot about voting for medicare, not about tea party. newt gingrich who will try to rip the skin off mitt romney was for the mandate in healthcare before romney was. an tea party guy either. is ron paul the tea party candidate for the republican party? >> actually, if you look at the tea party vote, on this, it went for santorum, the vote that wasn't -- >> but they haven't heard -- the romney super pac hasn't unleashed on him yet and told him about t

steve forbes and bobby jindal also out there supporting you right now. say you think you will do well. could you define what is well? what will you feel good about tomorrow morning? is it third place? is that where you need to be? do you feel you need to at least come in third? >>> on obviously we're here to win the caucus that is our goal. trying to pick win, place or show is not in our vocabulary we're in the race to win. dan moreno, junk marine come to give us support from veterans and military. there are great people who have come into iowa to campaign and to help tell the story that they know about rick perry. >> you know, it's interesting in recent days seems like you're mostly going after rick santorum. you put out an ad that sort of compares him to, you know, pork barrel politics and all of that i think most of the folks have seen out there. why do you feel like he's the person you need -- you've got a lot of money. the most money in this iowa caucus by some estimates. why are you going after him specifically? >> well, i'm having a little fun wit

you know, rick perry's coming out with some big guns in the next couple days, he's going to have bobby jindalnd steve forbes with him, he claims he's an underdog candidate at this point, and 120,000 votes could decide this thing. so no matter how -- bill: 120,000. martha: yes. you really do not know who's going to walk out of iowa with those top three tickets. bill will that's a very populace appeal. martha: it is. bill: i don't think how long he's been on that, but it creates an image for you. when you think about your family -- martha: and he's trying to keep it about the economy in iowa. those things he's not done as well on with iowa voters, but a lot of indications we have is that iowa voters are focused on the economy despite the fact that there's is a little bit stronger than some other states. bill: now, by the way, there's no other place to watch this, right? martha: why would you watch anywhere else? who would do that? i can't think of anybody who would do that. right here, of course. fox news is the home base for the first in the nation iowa caucuses. we're going to have special co
