what do you say to david winston and other gingrich supporters who were very struck by that face-off udy giuliani and bill bennett. >> i would say to dave winston, newt is lucky to have you because he is one of the best. but i think you made a mistake. >> why is he wrong? gingrich is ahead in the polls, running circles around mitt romney. >> i'm not so sure on that. i watched the polls the last week so, particularly in iowa. my sense is that newt is beginning to fade. particularly in the early states, particularly in iowa. i don't think he'll be the nominee. i think he had a surge and captured the interest of the country for a while as did bachmann before him and herman cain before him. at the end of the day mitt romney is the guy who built the 50-state campaign that could fight the nomination fight and campaign that could beat barack obama next year. >> fred, there's talk that the republican establishment is concerned about newt gingrich and seen him before be undisciplined. where is the smart money going to go? >> i would have no idea where a republican establishment -- >> you're ri

joining us is bachmann campaign communication director and newt gingrich campaign senior strategist david winstonank you for joining us. >> great to be here. >> talk to us about your assessment as to where they stand right now with your candidate? >> i think as everybody realize you are deal a caucus environment it is complicate what the turn out looks like is complicated. here's the bottom line and where iwans are different. they are concerned about where the economy is. after 34 months of 8 percent unemployment and higher. they are looking for the person with the best economic plan and the hope for the speaker here, having been endorsed by reagan architect is his solutions in terps was driving a economic message and improve the economy will have residence . the hope is that concern will be reflected in terms . caucus on tuesday night. >> alice let me ask you this. the push for the evangelical vote. is that something that bachmann is hoping to seize on and garner a big part of that vote? >> uma we are receiving support. we announced 22 additional faith leaders and past oars that endorsed michele

strategist john summers is former communications director for senate majority leader harry reid and david winstoner adviser to house speaker john boehner and now a senior strategist with newt gingrich's presidential campaign. david, i want to start with you. which is, we have, in some ways, a rare thing in washington, which is an almost entirely united front. the white house, senate and house democrats, and senate republicans all essentially saying, vote for the two-month extension. have house republicans backed themselves, whether wittingly or unwittingly into a pretty bad political corner here? >> well, i mean, i think you'd need to take a look at the issue from this perspective. what house republicans are saying is actually where the president and the senate democrats and senate republicans want to go, as well as house democrats, and that is, how do we get to a full-year extension? so the question here isn't, how do we get to two months, it's how do we get to a full year. and watching the legislation occur and watching the legislations go on, it's not always the most pleasant thing to watch, b

. >> let's bring our political panel republican strategist david winston, "washington post" white house reporter and cnbc contributor keith boy ken. >> i'll start with you donald trump moderating the gop candidates that show up. >> it will be a great evening. >> what do you mean great? >> it will be fun. it will be someone everybody will be comfortable with. he'll keep the focus on the economy. >> he could upstage them. let's not kid ourselves. they are coming to his office. he's not going to their offices. he could potentially upstage those people that night. >> i don't think you'll see that happen. at that point we're going to be really close to the iowa caucus. everybody is going to be really interested in terms of how the candidates perform. but certainly, you know, he's going to have the opportunity to define the questions he wants and some of the issues he wants to bring up. it will be an interesting evening and good edition to the whole debate process that's occurred in the republican party. >> ann, let me bring you in. "new york times" reached out to candidates or representative

." >> well, joining me now, karen finney and senior strategy for the campaign, david winston. d morning. >> okay. david, it looks like newt gingrich would have kind of a tough time coming away unscathed from all of that. what is your take? >> well, clearly he's the front-runner. and so people were sort of focusing on him and so the question is, and what everybody wanted to see, is given the focus, he had a good debate. there were a lot of charges made that gingrich was able to effectively carry. ultimately it was a good debate and when you take a look at the surveys that we've seen, in terms of his standing, he's been able to sustain a good solid lead at this point. having said that, there's a lot of campaigning to do. >> how do you -- newt gingrich is the latest flavor of the month. think about the gop primary season thus far. it has been, you're up and you're down, you're up and you're down, with every single one. >> well, certainly so far this year, the republican primary process has been sort of an exercise in whiplash, to say the least. but ultimately what you've seen is s

asquif, baldwin, balfer, callahan, winston churchhill, bonner, david lloyd george. robert arthur salisbury all suffered from depression. arnold: that's correct. brian: severe, very often? arnold: yes, often severe. again, i was astounded to find that. that there would be that many. in fact, in the book i almost wondered whether being depressed is one of the criteria for becoming a british prime minister. certainly winston churchhill really set the tone. his depression, in many instances, was incapacitating. brian: what about winston churchhill became very depressed in 1915. charles degahl became upset. all of this you said let to depression. ghandi, kahn was depressed. how were they treated when they became depressed? did you find that arnold: most, almost all, did not take advantage of psych trick help. certainly -- psychiatric help. either they couldn't admit it or their advisors or whomever would not find it politicaled a van tayjouse for that to become known. winston churchhill, his main way of handling what he called the black dog that would come over him, was
