there have been two more elected since then, including bobby jindal. we have come a long way.r state that sends governors to jail anymore. it's other states. the same thing can be done in washington. look, it's not easy. i know that. it can be tough, but unless the president stands up for reform, it won't happen. you bring a big broom in and sweep them out. teddy roosevelt said it 100 years ago this month. he said is the republican party going to be the party of privilege and wall street or will it be the party of plain people who build a great nation? we turned louisiana around. we can do the same thing in washington. >> governor johnson, you're an advocate for the fair tax. by every measurement, the fair tax would cut the tax bill, but for some others, potentially raise their tax bill because of some deductions that are gotten rid of. i take it you would have taken a ten to one deal. is that fair to say? >> yes, i would have. i didn't raise one single tax as governor of new mexico over an eight year period, something that had never happened before in the history of the state

jindal and others. a completely different complexion. of tem barosing candidates like cain and others along the way, it made the president who is by, by whom he is, presidential. look better. that explains the reason his numbers are up. he has been a path of conservativeship. republicans in congress and in this race have not actually distinguished themselves. >> shannon: talk about how much power iowa has. even if 120,000 people showed few for caucus, which would be a record, that is 4% of the iowa residents putting their stamp on one person. is that too much power for one state? >> no, it's great. it's fantastic. first, you have to start from the premise to make that argument that midwestern voices are overrepresented of the national political discourse. it strenuously object to that thought. from wisconsin -- i am from the midwest. we have common sense there. nice to have common sense coming from iowa. where we have people, especially if ron paul wins, complain about the process. you have to remember that ron paul has been in iowa. spe

>> imagine if you had had a race with mitch daniels, with a ron -- with a paul ryan, christie, ç jindal others, senator bethune. we would have had a completely different complexion. and i think with some of the sort of embarrassing candidates like cain and others along the way, it has made the president, who is by -- by who he is presidential look better. >> joining me now from iowa, aol "huffington post" editorial director and political analyst howard fineman. also from iowa, national fairs editor for new york magazine and msnbc political analyst, john heilemann. thank you both for joining me tonight. >> good evening, lawrence. >> howard, you 2003ed on this issue of the santorum surge. you tweeted in des moines romney circle says it's okay if santorum surges a little. they'd rather have him as the cultural right foe than newt or rick. why? >> yes. well, i suppose maybe they should be careful what they wish for. >> yeah. >> but their reasoning was was this. their reasoning was this, that south carolina's the place where mitt romney's almost certainly going to lose. that's the third leg
