watch. >> if i'm the weak frontrunner what does that make newt gringrich because i'm really ahead of him. i'm ahead. >> zinger. nicely done by mitt romney. as you look at that, what is the scenario here, if newt is winning mississippi he's still behind. does it give him enough momentum to stay in this? if newt wins mississippi is it done finally. >> the math says it's not done finally. there's no way that it's going to be done finally to much further along in in the running. when you look at mitt romney. if he pulls a surprise in the south, listen, if he sweeps tomorrow it's hard to see how people are going to continue to fund it. right now romney is pulling four points ahead in illinois. if romney is able to pick one of these off it will be a surprise and the first surprising finish in this race in quite awhile. the missouri-coloradocolorado-minnesota was a surprise. so there is a chance for mitt romney to pull a surprise in alabama and mississippi, but he has got to go against newt gringrich and nothing really gets the electorate going like a good leonard wood reference. >> michael

because of that, newt gringrich will of course will talk about he's back on the rise.ou'll hear a lot of talk about energy from newt gringrich like this. >> we need an american energy program first for national security reasons. we need to become so productive of oil and gas that no future president ever again bows to a saudi king. >> why does he keep saying that when george bush was best buddies with the saudi king. they would walk hand in hand and kiss all over crawford. he thinks he's going to get back in the race. i know, gas prices are high, i'll hit them on that. genius, newt, no one else has thought of it. the question for newt gringrich is not how he's doing in georgia but how he's doing against santorum and romney in tennessee and ohio. massachusetts which also is super tuesday is locked up by romney who was governor there. let's go to ohio. look at that, rick santorum with a 34-26 lead over romney, and then newt gringrich not bad. he's hanging in at 18%. but that's big win for santorum if it goes in that direction. yet, a world of time before then in terms of

newt gringrich. counting the total delegates not counting as much as it seems. >> the math is not the issue. the issue is the vision. governor romney outspent me 10 to 1 and still is not able to close the deal and is not on the path himself to get to this. >> romney is not having any of that. >> you know delegates are awarded proportionately. we're winning this, and i expect to get the nomination. >> newt gringrich doing what he can to put romney's performance in the worse possible light. >> romney is probably the weakest frontrunner. he's the frontrunner but almost all conservatives are opposed to him which is the base of the party. >> for the record, major wood won the new hampshire primary and he never really ran for office in his life. harding got the nomination. still gingrich might have had a point. the latest post ab this, polls showing 74% of republicans thinking romney will win the g.o.p. presidential nomination. well under half that have total would like to see romney win the nomination. ro

primaries in a nightmare of a road game for mitt romney with newt gringrich's people reportedly raising the first time the idea of combining forces in some way with santorum. our story, romney still leading overwhelmingly in delegates. santorum in confidence and momentum. >> the time is now for conservatives to pull together. >> newt gringrich not leading anything but well-placed barbs. >> if you're the frontrunner and you keep coming in third, you're not much of a front runner. >> that jab after urst while frontrunner with a pre-election day plea on monday. >> we're going win tomorrow. evidently that was news to eric fernstrom who said last night i don't think anybody expected mitt to win alabama or mississippi. everyone thought this was an away game and that was absolutely true. the scores from the away game. the former pennsylvania senator scoring again in pennsylvania over gingrich and romney. and romney beating santorum by 20 points and ron paul by 27 and gingrich by 24. thethe american samoa is romney at this hour. turf. some approximates from the associated press. santorum 13, an

now newt gringrich, of course, after not winning those two states last night is a world of trouble.f course he doesn't like to admit it, but that's what it is. i remember somebody made a prediction on a show on friday about how gingrich and santorum might get together. let's see who might have done that on a program on friday night. >> when you total up the votes for santorum and for newt gringrich, they actually have more votes than mitt romney. now the reason why that might be relevant, if they manage to collect more delegates, is there a chance if they go to the convention santorum and gingrich go, let's change on it, me and you v.p. and president and we get rid of romney. all of a sudden, quote, newt gringrich and rick santorum would make a powerful team against president obama. they have their capability to rob governor romney of the nomination. now that gingrich is losing he's definitely thinking about it. and in fact, i believe we have the new campaign poster that the gingrich team has come out with, santorum and gingrich 2012 together we can beat mitt. it's not that compelli

the latest poll we saw from missouri showed newt gringrich. while i don't trust january.le i don't trust that my guess is this race which is very much a two-man race at this point, newt gringrich is out of the race, so he doesn't admit it yet. these are going to be contested primaries coming up in the next week just as a week or two are going to be contested. i don't think mitt romney has any advantage going in and his advisers are sweating bullets headed to illinois and missouri. >> and no one has done this, and now santorum's advisers had a done this, introducing the saga of seamus the dog filled fiddler on the roof, as it were, i know this is late night comedy but doesn't this translate viscerally in the country where they don't pay attention to the stuff that should matter to them. they recognize that they are crazy about dogs, if you do not hit people over the head with the saga of seamus and use this dog's memory blatantly politically, could it not cost romney the election? >> it's a visceral issue. it tugs at the heart heartstrings. i don't think it set in. we have

but one guy who thinks he's on top of the mount is newt gringrich.listen. >> we're staying in this race because i believe that it's going to be impossible for a moderate to win the general election. i believe alabama has a very major role to play. in setting the stage with the presidential nomination. and i believe that only by nominating a solvent conservative who is articulate enough to beat barack obama in the fall can win this election. >> how do you know you're more electable? that doesn't make sense. whenever you listen to gingrich you go, on which planet is this guy. when you look at the polls barack obama would beat him worse than any of the other candidates where are you at apparently only in georgia. we found mitt romney's voters. we were unsure who is supporting this guy. first of all you got to understand throughout this whole process voter turnout has been way down from 2008. so you look at florida nevada, colorado michigan, arizona. all these places less people showed up than in 2008. not very effective. when you look at the numbers wer

put aside georgia because it's newt gringrich's home turf. put aside massachusetts. that's romney's home turf. rick santorum has said in his campaign i can win the midwest. mitt romney can't. i can win states like ohio. that's why i'm the better general election candidate. if he can't win in ohio, and that's an emphatic statement before the wins in arizona and michigan. >> is there an indication what has worked for romney and worked to having people forget he did pull himself back into this tie even though he's calling it a win he was significantly behind 10, 12 days ago. can he do what he in ohio and georgia what did he in michigan and buy those states with another negative ad flood. >> yes, i think he can in ohio. it's a less likely in georgia because he has two hurdles to overbomb santorum and gingrich are ahead of him according to polls and romney will write that off and say that's gingrich's home turf. ohio, i think he can. watch the polls over the weekend. watch the media campaign that is about to hit that state over the next few days. remember we saw him do it
