. >> in north dakota, also in nebraska a couple retirements. >> both states, one we knew about for a long time, nebraska. north dakota rather where senator kent conrad said he won't run for another term. in nebraska, senator ben nelson waited a very long time before announcing he wouldn't run again. democrats spent more than $1 million to try to prop him up but over the christmas break when he said he would talk with his family, he decided he just wasn't going to run for another term. whether or not that was because of the political realities on the ground, he was always going to face a tough fight for re-election. now democrats don't have much of a chance in nebraska. the one caveat being former senator bob kerrey thinking about running for what is his old seat. p. nelson won that seat 12 years ago once kerry retired. carrey went off to new york to be the head of the new school there. now he's back in nebraska contemplating it but admitting he's going to have a tough time because this is a a red state. >> missouri is always a purple state. swings both democrat and republican. >> she

look at what has been going on in north dakota, the heart of some frigid air just greasing the the united states below, 20 below, but the wind chill making it feel like 36 below. on the weatherbug, rugby, north dakota 43 degrees below zero is the wind chill. the good news, because of the overall pattern we have had so persistent with the jet stream staying to the north the frigid air will stay well to the north of washington. we will get a little luster eventually, on the more southwest wind, but not until early in the weekend. the low pressure will scurry through the north. we have the cold air. for folks in the mountains, west virginia, might have a few snow flurries, but during the day tomorrow that will stay to the north. as we get later on to friday we get some back to where cold air coming on the northeast wind. that may set the stage for a little bit of ice in the shenandoah valley. by the time we get into saturday it will be in the form of rain. tomorrow cold, seasonable, though low 40's. chance of mix for a time in the shenandoah valley, but mainly rain around here. sunday monday, tipst

from my home state of north dakota, back to one of these earlier charts, home state of north dakota,oduce more than 500,000 barrels a day of oil. we need to put 100,000 barrels a day into this pipeline so that we can get it to market, so that we can get it to consumers. to consumers and companies throughout this country. that's 100,000 barrels a day right now that we have to move through other means like truck or rail. that's equal to 500 truckloads a day or 17 million truck miles a year. think of the toll on our roads. think of the traffic fatalities that result when that product should be going through pipeline. and at the same time, at the same time that we have less traffic safety, tremendous wear and tear on our roads, we suffer a discount. our companies, our mineral owners, our people suffer a discount because it's more expensive to transport that product by rail and by truck. that's the realities of getting our economy going. and again, i go back to the national security concern. 830 barrels a day --, 830,000 barrels a day we've got to get from the middle east. now, with these

in north dakota today we have a boom in oil development, unemployment's down to 3.2%, they they've had seven straight tax cuts at the state because the oil was on private land. if that oil had been on public land, the environmentalists and barack obama would have stopped its development, and north dakota would be mired in 8 or 9% unemployment. so get the regulations out of the way, get the tax incentives right, and you can get back to creating an amazing number of jobs very fast. >> so my fellow questioners, our panelists tonight, my thanks. so ends this section of our conversation. the final bit of our debate from tampa tonight coming up after this last break. [applause] >> welcome back to our tampa, final south section of our conversation. we're back down to the fife of us here on stage. i thought we'd talk a little bit more big picture. in addition to this unprecedented primary contest the gop is in the midst of, this has been called a battle for the soul of the republican party. governor romney, the question is about that soul, what have you done to further the cause of conservativism as a republican leader? >> well,

state. north dakota which is tended to favor a candidate that looks like romney. ohio, vermont and virginia, virginia which is the second largest black delegates and gingrich isn't going to be on the ballot. on that day you'll have winning states with 233 delegates, gingrich with 119 delegates and 104 delegates which could develop this pattern of persistent victories that causes people to start to lock in on homicidal. i think the odds of us going into a convention with someone less than 50% of the vote is slim and none. >> greta: thank you. check your clock, we are only 8 hours and 50 minutes from florida polls opening. herman cain endorsed gingrich and griff jenkins caught w up with him. what was biggest reason. >> he supports replacing the tax code. replacing the tax code is long overdue. he is seriously considering my 999 plan. he is not committed to it but fact he is open to it is a big factor. >> the tea party support which has been very weak. it could make a difference for newt in this race and tighten it up? >> i know that the tea party support could make
