>> bob: there may be something to what krauthammer says. he dislikes romney or santorum, but there is no reason, none for him to stay in the race. that is for sure. >> greg: i have a reason. >> bob: okay. let me make a point here. after this, where does he go? he will be killed in every other state he goes into. santorum will go to a place where he gets the laundry put to him and he will realize this race is over. it's over. the question is, i think the republicans have a reason to be concerned. santorum calls romney a liar and the rest of this stuff. at least get one of them out. i think gingrich has no reason to stay in except please his wife. >> andrea: real quick, republican leaders do you think they will push him? or they are pushing him to get out? >> bob: they went to adelson and asked him to stop giving him money. didn't do it. the problem with the republican leaders who are they? secondly, in a position to do that. who can stop the super pac with an influence on this? >> eric: newt gingrich is now floating the idea of trying to get

krauthammer stands for.t says that rick santorum would be more simpatico to you. >> well, i got two answers for you. number one, he is much more of a social conservative than i am. so i'm not inclined in that direction. but, the more important thing is this. it's the buckley rule. after the sainted william f. he always said that in any election he votes for the most conservative candidate who can win. now everybody makes his own assessment. i'm not an oracle. i can't divine how the future unfolds. but in my analysis santorum has no chance of winning the white house in general election. no chance. >> reason for that is why? >> gender gap is to start with secondly it's an election about the economy. >> bill: wait, wait, wait. not too fast. >> what energizes him are social issues. >> bill: not too fast. >> wrong year for social issues. >> >> bill: i have to keep up. >> you are a simple man i know and you went to harvard so i have to work -- >> bill: it is an innocent mistake you know that you say women won't vo

>> in his column this week, charles krauthammer says romney remains the tortoise in the race. is it now romney all the way? >> i think so. a few percentage points made a huge difference. had romney loss to michigan, you would have heard the alarm bells through washington. it would have been high drama. he won by a few points. the conventional wisdom is that romney will win. >> people make fun of him because he keeps putting his foot in his mouth. he is not the most appealing to most of america because he really is different from them. however, he did map out a year- long campaign. he has been unbelievably tough. he had the money to stick it out. he modified the plan when he had to. if i thought running a campaign was evidence of running the country, i would have a great deal admiration for him. i still have some admiration for him because he has dealt with himself. >> the american public may not love romney, but his own staff apparently does. we have heard little of the usual back fighting. you do not hear that. that tells me romney is a pretty good boss and at least the peopl

[ laughter ] >> sean: charles wins the day. let's start with six days to super tuesday. i would say mitt romney, doesn't come back but a good showing by rick santorum. want to get your thoughts? >> it was a good showing by santorum, given the lack of money. romney has surrogates and established supporters and governors all over the country that can rally for him and speak to him. santorum is essentially a solo operation. given all that. he really needed the win in michigan because
