she kept saying the name, senator rick sanitorium. was wondering if that's an official endorsement. your thoughts? >> first, probably say thank you. i actually tweeted that out last night. i was very appreciative of governor palin mentioning my name as someone who has been out there and been a consistent consecutive out there on the campaign trail and have a record to back it up0. so i'm pleased she would highlight me, and say thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> i got a grip or handle on your strategy in ohio. you have a new ad coming out in the dedeman register and you say a number of republican leaders suggested the best way to win back the white house is calling a truce on social issues, like school prayer and immigration. that's not a truce, it's a surrender, which to me is a shout across the bow of some of your colleagues in an effort to distinguish yourself. maybe from from michele bachmann but from the others. >> that's right. we have the two leading counties who -- candidates who have not been particularly strong on the i

the third surprise rick sanitorium is underestimated in the race.e will be the surprise candidate to win it and be in the top three or four. if you had to pick a winner now and i know we are nine days out. i would say that mitt romney would end it. today. ron paul because of his organization. that is where mitt is at a disadvantage and he doesn't have the devotion and the weather is good. mitt romney is in better shape and it is tough to get out. ron paul would win. it is a lot to chew on. we'll break it down a bit. we have said today and for a period of time rick sanitorium would get along fine . he will outperform expectations. he had a couple of big endorsements from evangelical leaders this week. the polmay contradict what people's perceptions are. the biggest concern, 38 percent said economy and jobs and 28 percent the federal deficit and 15 percent social issues. in these tough times are social issues less important to iowa voters than in the past. they may not be frontt and center but they are important. they may be focused on jobs in the eco

more likely scenario is that michelle bachmann and/or rick sanitorium will finish better. prior to the straw poll most credible poll had rick sanatorium at two percent . he got 10 percent of the traw poll vote. it is it impossible to gauge with the organic process. polls and caucuses measure mind share than market share. they measure who people are talking and thinking about. but they don't necessarily measure the support of the person. >>> and there is very few who understand and know and keep us with the iowa scene better than you do. we hook forward to seeing you soon. >> thank you, mike. >> steve from salem broadcast network. >> we all have our list of best loved christmas songs and i like old little town of bethlehem. and including tobi keith and marshall kentucky; i wonder if they will play yours. stay tuned we'll find out. now back to huckabee.

course, for those who are not following this, that the only one to accept was newt gingrich, and rick sanitoriumidates turned tail or said a definite no. how successful you think it is going to be? >> i think it interesting that trump is shocked that the candidates are not taking him up. he boasts he has millions of viewers and it is great publicity for the candidates. >> that is very, very true, mr. trump never does anything that is not connected to one of his personal deadline such as a book deadline or when his contract up for the reality show. and that's what he did here. he wanted to presve his option and say i will run on the independent party. uh-huh. this is one of the few times where it will not be where he gets his way. we'll have to keep an eye on what he does next. he is never one to be a dull person. >> that's for sure. >> still ahead. a tour of duty in afghanistan was nothing compared to the jitters this soldier felt when he came home to his girlfriend. we'll tell you about that next. >> and newt gingrich calling palestinians invented people and a lot of you have answered. your twi

shifting gears and deciding they want consistency, they're going start paying attention to say, rick sanitoriumran to protect israel. she has been consistent in wanting to protect the most vulnerable and the sank sanctity of life and saying we need to slash the federal income tax. i say we need to do away with it. people with start paying attention to messages from other mess sing -- mess send jerries. >> i'm surprised rick hasn't done better in the polls. just the top three strengths and weaknesses of mitt and newt because they're leading significantly in the poll. >> either one of them. all of these folks are going to be infinitely better than president barack obama because they understand the republic cannot survive four more years of the status quo, and the status quo would support more of the crony capitalism and corruption, and president obama will do not being the corruption and will perpetuate the problem. newt has this strengths and mitt his strangs and ron paul. he is the one who is facing reality when it comes to these unsustainable bloated budgets that are bankrupting our country. h

an desandberg on saturday night live playing rick sanitorium. there was you. >> no. le ticket which entitles her to only a partial refund. >> happy about it. >> she felt the terms of her ticket were not fully disclosed so we looked online at the tariff and could not fine it disclosed, so he asked the airline where the terms were posted and have not yet eared back. when we do we'll let you know. if we don't we'll let you know that too. i'm michael finney, "7 on your side". >> he is back for more, coming up the director jason wrightman talks about his new film young adults. >> santa takes over san francisco, why there were so many jolly old men in town today. >> some high clouds overled this hour and clear patches. temperatures are dropping and looks like we might see a few drops tomorrow. we'll take a look at the forecast coming up. get the technology they love, on the network they deserve. like the powerful droid charge by samsung or get the samsung stratosphere, and for a limited time get twice the data for the same low price. verizon. >> director jason rightman stru

rick perry spending a lot of money. he has a lot of commercials rolling out right now. michele bachmann spent a lot of time in iowa. i think that fight between perry, bachmann and sanitoriumbe interesting to watch to see who really comes up at the top of that bottom three, if you will. huntsman isn't even playing in iowa. so forget about him. there are really six candidates that we'll be watching. three or four tickets out of iowa, as they say. we know who the first three are presumably going to be. we'll see if there's one or two others who might still emerge out of iowa and head into new hampshire. >> we should be watching closely. you've got the interview with nutd gingrich tomorrow. you and along with a lot of our political bigwigs, the best political team in television heading the iowa to do a lot of broadcasting. we'll all be watching. thanks for joining us. >>> just a reminder, live coverage of the iowa caucus begins here on cnn next tuesday at 7:00 p.m. eastern. >>> at least 23 people reportedly were killed today in syria. this comes as dozens of arab league observers are expected to arrive in the country after the government agrees to end a brutal crack down. moh
