i call your attention to a piece by jonathan martin in wednesday's politico.

[laughter] the point is this -- perry had his chance in iowa, had his chance in the debates. the most memorable thing he uttered was "oops." with the south carolina, i am not sure what is going other than that he has a lot of money and some hope. it looks as if there is going to be a consensus candidate who will oppose romney, then it would be santorum. it is hard to imagine anybody else imaging right now. >> we had take this week when santorum was talking by john f. kennedy, the meeting with baptist ministers, and he said that when he read, it made him want to throw up. that is the kind of tape that

. >> and then there was the reporting by jonathan martin and margy haber in politico that talked aboutl strife within the campaign. one quirz saying there's never been a more ineptly orchestrated, just unbelievably subpar campaign for president of the united states than this one. senior advisers fighting with each other. we've seen that before in campaigns, 1980, the reagan campaign, but they all came together by minnesota and the first lady stepped up and changes in all of the officials. we didn't see that kind of recalibration here. >> no. this happens, as you say, andrea, again and again. a public servant will get elected time after time as governor. governor perry is the longest serving governor in texas history. or someone will be re-elected again and again to the senate or to the house. and then he decides, well, i've done this. i certainly can run a presidential campaign. but it's completely different. you're cut off from reality. you're in the bubble of the campaign. you have to make decisions from the road. you have to solve all the problems of the bickering of your staff. you

"time" magazine's mark halperin is msnbc's senior political analyst and jonathan martin is politico's senior political reporter. and here it is. remember last month's cover of "time" magazine? well, there on the left was a picture of romney asking, "why don't they like me?" well, this month's cover, on the right-hand side, the headline "so now they like me." mark halperin, will you explicate that cover. does that mean they do or we're still asking? do they like him? >> we're still asking, but they like him enough that he won iowa. there were ways to argue that there was not a big accomplishment. >> eight individual votes. >> won only by eight. spent a lot of money there, super pac spent a lot of money, but he won. and i think some of the people who are playing down his chances now are suggesting that he's under a lot of pressure is early wins matter more than late wins. delegation accumulation is not what matters now, although he's stronger long-term than anybody else, he's going to win some states early, it looks like, maybe the first four. and i think these other candidates like gin

>> politico had posted a story about jonathan martin and maggie hagerman quoting members of governorry's current staff shooting at each other over the way this campaign has imploded. the newcomers on the staff were blaming the texans who started the campaign, the inner circle, saying he had not done enough to ramp up, make it a presidential campaign quick enough. that it was running more like a gubernatorial campaign. he was used to rick perry going out there and the people and the money coming to him. it didn't happen on the national stage. >> you going to give us the name? >> what's the name? >> i think mark halperin has it. >> you got the name? >> i'll put it on twitter. >> so there is obviously a lot of back and forth between the national folks and the texas folks. i mean, this happens in a lot of different campaigns. >> yeah. what happened was you have that very tight perry inner circle who were with him through his governor's races who probably helped talk him into getting into the governor's race. they eventually added some other national consultants and reading between the li
