during the republican primary, rick santorum and newt gingrich just couldn't see eye to eye and theyined their sights on each other. >> at times you just sort of, you know, that worrisome moment that something is going to pop and we can't afford that in a nominee. >> i think long before rick came to congress i was busy being a rebel. those are just historic facts even if they're inconvenient for rick's campaign. >> reporter: but soon they stopped snipping at each other and started sniping at romney. before long, both men had dealt serious blows to the front-runner. santorum with the surprise squeaker in iowa followed by a gingrich win in south carolina. suddenly, mitt romney was on the ropes. a gingrich adviser went to the santorum camp. would the senator join the speaker on one ticket? no. santorum was surging and wanted his own shot but they still became strange bed fellows. >> i agree with rick's point. i would urge the states then to return most of the power back to the local communities. and the third thing we bought, which rick alluded to which is really important. >> as newt s

i enjoyed rick santorum.ocialble to tie in the issues of abortion, illegal immigration, and traditional marriage with our fiscal situation. a lot of people don't see the connection between the two. there is, especially the illegal immigration. i enjoyed ted cruz, because he gave an overview of -- overview of everything. but we need to do right now especially is make sure that we follow our immigration laws, and we do not have immigration reform. we have enforcement. if we don't, and these people stay in our country, we are going to have a continuing administration like we have right now because they will always vote democratic. host: donna from iowa is next on the line for republicans. caller: i heard this he packed people, and i thought it was a great conference. the one thing i missed to all of addressedat no one the death test, where your doctor will have to make a decision whether they're going to continue to serve you as a patient or you get denied care. i wish someone had addressed this. other than that

rick santorum went to the kicking chicken to support the candidacy of republican curtis bostic, facinglection next week. >> someone who is a strong conservative on fiscal issues, strong conservative on national issues and moral issues, and will go on the offense on all of them, unafraid to talk about them and take them on. you see from the polling, this could be a tough general election. you need someone that's not going to be playing defense. >> mark sanford has been playing defense since 2009. >> i have been unfaithful to my wife. i developed a relationship with -- started as a dear, dear friend from argentina. >> public policy polling shows elizabeth colbert busch polls at 47%, mark sanford at 45%. but she polls even with curtis bostic, 43% each. ann coulter wrote a very ugly endorsement of curtis bostic today. republicans could nominate hitler and win south carolina's first district. ann coulter really knows how to ingratiate herself to south carolina republicans saying they would vote for hitler for congress. after that endearing beginning, she added if sanford is the nominee, rep

because, presumably, rick santorum can't do that urging without your $100. he's running it like a racket. but this is what it's come to. it's a mess on the other side of this argument, from where david boyce and ted olson and the solicitor general of the united states will be arguing tomorrow. nobodies what legal direction the justices will take this in. and you can double that for the defense of marriage cases that will be argued the following day. we don't know yet how all of this will be move legally. but the politics surrounding this legal matter are increasingly weighty and predictable on the left. and on the right, they are increasingly incoherent and low-rent and even occasionally pathetic. does that imbalance in the politics here, does the fact that the spokesperson on the right on this issue is maybe gary bauer and the spokesperson on the left of this issue is the leading legal likes of both the republican and democratic party. does that imbalance, politically, affect expectations for how the court is going to hear and rule on this case? and should

paul does well if libertarian-minded republican, young kids, a lot at this conference, and rick santorum does well with the social conservatives, another major bloc at this conference. but the real breakout stars -- as we're talking, sarah palin is about to take the stage -- the real breakout star will be ben carson, the new face of the consumer movement. he is a neurosurgeon at johns hopkins. he just told us about an hour ago that he is going to leave his practice, and he left it open whether he would run for the white house. also ted cruz in a few hours, cho really has become the face of the conservative movement within the united states senate. he's a freshman from texas. fred? >> mark preston, thanks so much. we'll talk more about politics and get the influence of the cpac conference with david gergen, our political analyst joining us later this hour as well. >>> a maryland man is dead after contracting ray inin ining rab donated kidney. three other patients received organs from the same donor. her now being given anti-rabies shots. the organs were not tested for rabies before being

potential hopeful, rand paul and rick santorum, reportedly pretty angry. reacting angrily to this.>> a couple of reasons. one, one of the recommendations that the rnc made is to shorten the number of debates. to have fewer presidential debates during the primary season. the idea was that there are way too many debates in 2012 and that ended up hurting the republican party. the reason you would end up having some potential insurgent candidates running in 2016, rand paul, rick santorum, they need these debates to shine, to get fundraising torborg get noticed as we saw during the 2012 election. that's one of the reasons they're upset. >> i was doing the count. we were about this when it first came out. how many times the words were used. latino was 100 time in there. african-americans, 50 times. women, 73, asian-americans, 23, even fewer when it come to getting lgbt in terms of the number of time those words were used. if they do follow through with the recommendations, which it seems to encompass these areas, who will benefit from it? >> well, they are trying to make outreach. there

rick santorum believes america is on the verge of a french revolution., really. >> the french revolution was based on equality and liberty. sounds like us. but the final word of the french revolution was fraternity, not paternity. they replaced a sovereign king with a sovereign mob. see in modern day europe it is a descendant of that bargain. a godless -- [ applause ] -- a society that is godless, without faith, is president obama's new deal. give them more power. give them more authority, and they will take care of you. >> mitt romney made one good point in the middle of his very tedious speech. republicans should be listening to the republicans that democrats will actually vote for. >> we particularly need, by the way, to hear from the governors from the blue and purple states. those are the states we have to win to get back the senate and the white house. so people like bob mcdonald, scott walker, john kasich, suzanne a martinez, chris christie, brian sandoval, these are the people we need to listen to and make sure their message is heard across the c

>> well, look, rick santorum won the iowa caucuses. he wasn't the nominee. pat robertson won iowa caucus, he wasn't the nominee. iowa doesn't pick the republican nominee any more than it does in the democratic party, but the republican party in 2016, 2020, cannot be held hostage to the social extremism that some in our party have on all these issues because the country is changing and voters in the middle won't tolerate it. >> karen finney, a striking quote from a lesbian that wants to marry her partner, happens to be a cousin of the chief justice of the united states supreme court. she has said he is a smart man, he is a good man, i believe he sees where the tide is going. i do trust him. i absolutely trust that he will go in a good direction. i guess it is a question of how well does she know her cousin. >> that's a fine question. i don't want to prejudge or jinx it, but i think it is the right thing to do, but from a legal standpoint i take the position as an interracial person, when my parents were married in 1967, it was illegal in their home states for

gwen: there was another argument made interestingly by rick santorum today and bobby jindal. that the party talks too much about money and budgets and zeros and isn't talking enough about emotional, social issues and that's how you connect. i don't know whether that went over well in that room but that is certainly a big part of the conversation. >> to jeanne's point, i do think it is very difficult for any one of us to get up and make a speak like that or for anyone in that room to make a list of all the thanks that we were really bad at. the fact that they didn't really address some of the shortcomings is understandable. gwen: is there something comparable to that with democrats after they lost? >> remember all of the hand wringing after 2004. the best document, though, and this was the question after 1988 when democrats put a document together that said we are going to keep losing these election if we don't change -- and here's the difference between the democrat and republican sides -- if we don't change some of the policies. this is where you had the d.l.c. and bill clin

you have somebody like rick santorum or rand paul who will talk about various social issues, and i agreee guys on 99% of what they think, but what i would like to hear them talking about are economic issues that will appeal more broodly to the nation the way that reagan did. >> michael: but they did talk about it during this last campaign, and it fell flat. that's part of what the problem was. >> and that makes it still more complicated. romney was just as bad of candidate as you could have. imagine a candidate -- the hardest thing i ever did in my political life was go out in mild support for mitt romney. he went from pro choice to pro life to pro choice to pro life anti-gay to pro gay, to anti-gay to pro gay. mitt romney is the most soulless man there is. >> michael: we finally agree on something. now let's talk about shortening the primary process. it seems simple, but what would that do. >> first of all preibus. prebus is a dud. anybody that looks at him or hears him speak. you know he is a complete dud. the reason they picked prebus is the party following michael steele they felt st
