endorsed yesterday by south carolina governor nikki hailey. strange support from the tea party and nationally. the romney campaign is putting out a message of momentum. we're bringing the republican party together but has to make an appeal to the conservative base, long skeptical of him. especially in south carolina. campaigning with hailey today, he said something that democrats are really seizing on. take a listen to what he said in charleston, south carolina this morning while campaigning with governor hailey. >> many tea party folks are going to find me, i believe, to be the ideal candidate. >> i think tea party is a parties twubt see government shrunk. they think it's too big. they think someone has to cut the federal budget, and i do. they want us to balance the federal budget, and i will. someone too get the economy going who understands jobs and the economy, not just government. and jobs and the economy is a what i know. tired of people who spent their life in politics thinking washington is the answer. i didn't spend my life in politi

governor hailey is a republican, she's serving her first term in south carolina. and the "charleston post and courier" asked the governor for records, records about how south carolina was going to implement the federal health reform law. governor haley's office responded to the newspaper with stuff that the "post and courier" describes as irrelevant. they gave them some press releases and public schedules but really not much. the charleston paper, though, also made the same request for the same type of documents from another agency in south carolina's government. they also asked a different agency. and that office did hand over a lot of information. they in fact handed over information that governor haley had withheld. and that is how we know something that governor haley wishes we didn't know. now that we know what it is that that other agency was willing to give up that the governor's office wasn't, we can see why she tried to withhold it, why her office was probably hoping that that newspaper would never know this thing existed. back on march 10th governor nikk

romney has nikki hailey's endorsement. bob dole.s a senate leader when gingrich was speaker also endorsed romney. we know he has chris christie. he has a rolling cast of endorsements, more to come on the following weeks. is this it? >> let me say first of all, no one cares in iowa about chris christie, mark kirk, think about anything. you talk to votes. endorsements don't have much impact. maybe if sarah palin, mike huckabee, the governor, maybe i would say the governor not as much. didn't have a lot of value either. that's not romney's going to do well in part because he's organizing these states. gingrich is having a hard time getting on the ballot. i promise romney's on the ballot everywhere. that's the reason he's had the advantage even if newt did win in south carolina. >> i disagree partly with perry. i think that most of these endorsements don't matter because they are as expected. establishment mitt romney getting establishment endorsements. if glenn beck said not only do a dislike gingrich, we have to do this with romney. >

bob dole just endorsed him, nicky hailey. >> in terms of organization on the ground and all of that,endorsed him. the problem with the nicky hailey endorsement is the base feels a little bit, how should we say, left on the alter at this one. there was no organization or confrontation with conservatives there, and they feel she's endorsed someone that they don't necessarily endorse, so there is a two-sided sword here that you've got, one, the organization that comes with it, which is great. the downside is if the base isn't feeling that endorsement, that doesn't necessarily translate to votes on election day. and back to the iowa caucus, the thing to keep in mind about iowa caucus, and certainly this is in newt's calculation in terms of organization, you still show polls with 50 or 60% of the people undecided, so you can be as organized as all get-out, but if you still have this huge undecided block of voters, you don't know necessarily who you're bringing out of the house at 11:00 at night to take to the polls because they may change their mind if they haven't made up their mind yet.
