michelle bachman got asked if she was a flake from chris wallace. he apologized, but, you know, it was seen as an inbounds question at the time. i think mitt romney has gotten asked questions about flip-flops and activity as well. i think this is somewhat schtick-ish. i think he has a problem with the mainstream media, but he will have to find something else to hang it on because the media is taking him seriously. >> well, i say this again. when you are in a scrum and trying to ask ron paul questions, he does not answer them. i tried to ask him questions many times, and he gave the response that he didn't like to walk and talk at the same time. i said, well, we can sit here and you can answer a question, and he at one point said that his voice wasn't working. sde play this weird game with the press. i think there is a realization, a, that he has a disdain for this process, but also in some ways he is not really the best messenger for his own message. it seems like in some ways they pass off paul as a better messenger. >> it could be a messy process.

week everybody is all about the iowa straw poll, the president to candidates and the congressman michele bachman has gone up and down the state come indianola, waterloo, quoting my book at every stop, and she wins the iowa straw poll and then she quotes my book on meet the press so between the downgrade and the london riots i had a pretty great opening week publicity byes. if you have red the ultimate chapter with its big nuclear finale you might want to be out of town when you do the publicity tiny and for that. you don't recall after america because you want it to happen, you write it in order to prevent it from happening. total societal collapse is not in my interest. if you are in author the destruction of the banking system makes it much harder to catch the royalty check. so i want to prevent the dawn of the post american a bold and i hope you do too. two were in favor of the post american world and a college professor to the campus i don't think you enjoy it as much as you think you will i ask why being such a historical old queen about the whole business and if you recall president obama

they tried the same thing with michele bachman. contend that michele bock man is a very intelligent lady. i am privileged to have spent so much time with her and to have gotten to know her on a personal level as well as a political level. newt gingrich is a smart man. he would pick up an awful lot of votes if he went down that road. whether sarah palin would do it is another question. host: next caller, at him. caller: i am caucusing for ron paul. i just want to say that the jewish zionists are pushing for a war -- host: wow. guest: it is out there. the racism is out there. host: let's take another call. caller: i am calling from ohio. i was born and raised in iowa. host: what is your question or comment? caller: i wanted to make a comment first. if you go down with all the republicans and all the democrats in the presidency, it is a fact -- and i will ask you a question at the end of my conversation -- from the very beginning, you go down in history and all of the republicans that came down, there was so much corruption with the re

with michele bachman getting out of the race there is an opening for rick perry. is not going to happen in new hampshire. he bypassed new hampshire and is going to south carolina today. there is no conservative candidates who has an ability to raise enormous amounts of money like rick perry does. the thing about money follows momentum. that is one of the axioms of american politics. but big money slowly follows momentum. has rick santorum has seen yesterday you got 50% more campaign contributions yesterday than he has gone in this entire campaign but almost all of it has come on line from barbara and other conservative republicans all over the country who have been woken up by his astonishing showing in iowa. is going to take up a lot of time for establishment republicans to decide rick santorum is the guy. he is the course. and rick perry knows that. he is still sitting on several million dollars in his own campaign war chest and has decided i am going to stake my claim in south carolina and try to make a surprise showing like rick santorum did in iowa and become

the super pack backing mitt romney tonight that the super michele bachmanning just spent $7 million in new ads in both south carolina and florida combined and going for the knock out punch. the story out there, conservatives are starting to rally around mitt romney with 38%. you have hannity and limbaugh and jim demint. ann coulter is saying that mitt romney is all about capitalism. he invites in the "new york times" and they intent to cast romney as the founder of bane capital and a defender of capitalism and a principal of republicanism and to suggest that those who have the mainstream. they told him to back off. that's what i could read. they were circling the wagons and the money factor in mitt's favor. it's 2-0 and hard pressed for anybody to win the nomination in this part except of course the chance would be ron paul and continue to build moment um. it seems to me that the republican party is making a statement tonight that we are starting to damage our brand too much. we have too much in fighting and have to clean it up. >> if he believes there is an audience on the republican

the only one i did not meet was michele bachman but everyone else talked to us and certainly get thedea. i told everybody is about politics -- if you don't have that game and ready to go you don't want to shake hands it is not a place to be. that is when they want to do. look you in the eye. as they say they won't make a selection until three times. >> i know you have endorsed former massachusetts governor mitt romney. as mayor what is your role in the primary? >> i try and keep my door open to everybody even though i have endorsements to have a conversation with me. i willing to tell them what i think the role of a candidate in new hampshire is and how they have to go out -- make sure they meet people. it is important. new hampshire is about town hall meetings and house parties and restaurants and diners. >> manchester mayor gatsas, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> now look at the political landscape in new hampshire with kevin landrigan, political reporter for the national telegraph. he joined us on this morning's washington journal. this is 40 minutes. is manchester
