they do not mean that buddy roemer is the next front runner in new hampshire. is still in the race. but if he is polling at 2% or 3% is enough to lap rick perry in new hampshire, forget what buddy roemer has to answer to. when does rick perry have to start answering why he's still in the race?

the supreme court didn't tell buddy roemer what he had to do. the supreme court said this is our ruling on campaign contributions. buddy roemer gets to lead, gets to decide what he will do. here's what i decided. no packs. no super packs. $100 limit. i made that decision. you know who can make the decision? the leader of america and the president of the united states. he doesn't have the guts to do it. he knows it's wrong. he said it's wrong. >> he has. >> why don't you stand up, mr. president and practice what you speech? i love america, but i don't like the politics. it's bought and sold by the special interest. you know and it and i know it and the president knows it. do something about it, mr. president. >> indeed. former governor buddy roemer, thanks for joining us and good luck on tuesday. >> thanks. >> stay with us. much more ahead on the race for the white house. >> our message, the president barack obama is, you can run, but you can't hide from your record. ok! who gets occasional constipation, diarrhea, gas or bloating? get ahead of it

roemer got 31 votes in the state of iowa, perhaps the difference in that eight-vote margin. >> well,u've got to be fair, i didn't run in iowa at all. >> i understand. >> i didn't go to iowa. i had to go to new hampshire. here's why. i didn't have the money. i've raised a third of $1 million. and i'm spending my time in new hampshire. >> i didn't mean it as an insult. i'm saying you helped determine the election. >> how frightening is it for these other candidates? he swung the election. >> well, you know what i know you guys are serious with a smile. but you know what is amazing to me, as the only man running who has been a congressman and a governor with a darn good record at both, and i have not been asked to be on a single debate. >> unbelievable. >> could it be they don't want to hear about the money? i mean mitt romney takes million dollar checks under the table. i mean even rick santorum who is a decent guy formed a super pac. they're all in it together. there's not a bit of difference among them. they're bought and sold by the special interests. look at bank reform. it's a jok

as i mentioned before, buddy roemer.n it comes to this primary process, it is important to note that no one drops out because they lose particular states. they drop out because the campaign is broke. following the citizens united campaign decision, that sort of changes the rules. because of donations, like this $5 million coming in, he can continue to stay in the race. similar to jon huntsman. the hampshire is the only question -- the only state where we have seen a superpac , in that was largely funded by his father. candidates in the past, typically, need to perform well enough. they tend to not take president's down the field. but if the situation is that if you can fund a superpac, you may be able to stay in the game. the political impact of that on this particular election, we had a large west. if jon huntsman can stay in this race and can convince one person put him in this race, you will have all of these other candidates on the ballot. iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, and possibly the nomination. host: brian,

buddy roemer, 0. mitt romney, 32. rick santorum, 41.0. >> that is correct. >> ok, your results of been recorded. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> well, we have done our task at hand and now we move into the second, very important round, which is to let central committee members as well as delegates for the candidates or the county convention. we will resume -- and i think mr. freeman, a candidate for congress and the second congressional district in nebraska. thank you very much, we appreciate it. glenn, thank you very much. can you secure those? maybe we can get those into an envelope. that would be great, i would be tremendous. -- that would be tremendous. now a little business at hand. because this area has done such a good job in the voting turn now and also in its representation in elections, we do have a central committee that we can elect to the club on the central committee. at this juncture, i will like to entertain any motions for any people to the numbers of the central committee. each precinct in the county, of cours

[laughter] i am so glad i did not have to follow but roemer. -- buddy roemer.e is such a terrific spea i have four things i wanted to make sure i say. i want to talk about rick santorum's electability. he is a full spectrum conservative. and i want to talk about leadership. going back to what we are doing here in nashua, coming up to the 2010 election, always running -- i was running for county attorney and i had to go to manchester, an important city in the county and that i had not run elections then as i had in nashua. the congressional campaign was being run by -- he was entirely into the idea of teamwork. he did not care that my little campaign for county attorney did not bring much resources when it came to get his person elected there in manchester. he said come on in, be part of the team. we will be carrying your stuff. my pamphlets were as good as any put out in manchester, and that -- and the pamphlets, was a good thing for me. down here in nashua at the same time, nick pappas was in charge of the national victory office -- nashua victory office that

a disappointing for buddy roemer supporters. he is an interesting man. he is a good guy.e is the kind of candidate right now who will get about 31 votes in a iowa and less than 1000 in new hampshire as well. host: when will you make your decision? guest: probably tuesday morning in the voting booth. i am having a lot of trouble. host: is that typical for you? guest: is atypical for me. i am fairly decided -- and usually decided fairly early in the race but it is a very difficult decision for me this year. ghost: thank you for being here this morning to talk about the candidates. we will take a break and in your next segment we will need a prominent social conservative in new hampshire and she will talk about rick santorum, who she is supporting, and how the senator is positioning himself with new hampshire voters after his showing in iowa. but on our break we will go live to new hampshire. our colleague is at robie's country store, one of the longtime retail politics stops for presidential candidates. greta? >> david chouinard is the older. -- is the owner of robie's coun

>> 37. >> buddy roemer? >> none. >> mitt romney? >> 116. >> rick santorum?herman cain, 0, of newt gingrich, 34, johnson, one, ron paul, 51, rick perry, 37, but roemer, none, mayor ronnie, 116, rick santorum, 82, michele bachmann, 14. thank you for your time. >> thank you, have a good evening. are we good? thank you. >> ok. i notice the things of kind of deteriorated. but i think we have the names. we have names that we have identified. the secretary is going to be putting down these names. i think that we have three delegates from mitt romney. ross larson? ross larson. delegates ross larson, derrick zonefeld, and kathleen aldrich. we have one alternate, which is rackum.khaaig the two delegates from santorum are carry weisenberg and chip should carry, with david higgins as the alternate. ron paul, the alternate is nicholas colton. what i would like to do, those are the names i would like to put before our caucus right now. all of those in favor? say aye. we have just selected our delegates for the county convention. it might seem a little bit disjointed, but

i saidell buddy roemer that. i am so glad i did not have to follow but roemer.e is such a terrific speaker. i have four things i wanted to make sure i say. i want to talk about rick .antorum's electability he is a full spectrum conservative. and i want to talk about leadership. going back to what we are doing here in nashua, coming up to the 2010 election, always running for county attorney and i had to go to manchester, an important city in the county and that i had not run elections then as i had in nashua. the congressional campaign was being run by might -- he was entirely into the idea of teamwork. he did not care that my little campaign for county attorney did not bring much resources when it came to get his person elected there in manchester. he said come on in, be part of the team. we will be carrying your stuff. my pamphlets were as good as any put out in manchester, and that was a good thing for me. down here in nashua at the same time, nick pappas was in charge of the national victory office that the republican national campaign had sent up. he had th

citizens united we've even seen some other candidates out there some republican candidates like buddy roemer put limits on how many on campaign contributions you know how are you going to go about that you have limits or you know where do you plan to get your money from. well i plan to get my money from individuals and i'm not planning to take any corporate money we really just got our just getting our fundraising up and running we fed exed our papers to the f.e.c. and i have volunteers working for me right now i don't have any staff but i will i will have staff i actually received my first donation today i'm allowed to receive up to five thousand dollars before before the f.e.c. officially registers my candidacy we've got the bank we've got a bank account we can accept checks i haven't made a decision yet about a individual limit gotta look into what other candidates are doing and what seems appropriate but right now i'm running against a candidate who can raise millions of dollars with their hands tied behind her back and so the only way to compete in this election is going to be to raise

of you know give lip service to the ideal of getting money out of politics but for example buddy roemer the former louisiana governor has made that the central primary key point of his campaign and he's barely a blip on the national radar how do you actually go about implementing this. well this is where you run into difficulty with the constitution because you have a situation in which the elected members want things to stay the way they are and the rest of us are beginning to want to change them now the only way to change this is going to be to amend the constitution in some way to have a constitutional amendment which is a huge thing to do and trying to amend the constitution you know has many many distinguished failures in its past like the equal rights amendment which is still never been ratified so i think that that is the only way to change it is to get the constitution amended and people are very reluctant to get into that well and do you even get the sense that regular people i mean folks are worried about the financial crisis right now they're worried about you know putting fo

i'm a democrat but we have people like buddy roemer.heir views are rarely expressed because these guys can buy their way into office if they can influence enough people. the want to use the line about running the country because they have a business background. i would hope our country does not base everything it does just on a business model. there are other considerations. and he wouldn paul withdraw our military forces from foreign governments to we have alliances and treaties with that are mutually effective for both nations. there are dangerous people running for these offices and other people who probably have excellent ideas that will never be heard because of money. guest: i do think money has always been used in politics and the new hampshire presidential primary is a place where the person who does not have the most money at least as a shot at making a difference. we are so geographically small that a candidate, if he or she set their mind to it, can spend time and made an awful lot of people. that has not been the case this t

>> romney is near the end, you have buddy roemer back-to-back. i imagine it won't be as big for romney because he is best known of the candidates. if somebody is a definite romney voter they will get down to him and voted for him. bigger problem, the people that are not decided, they are not behind one of these candidates hundred percent. so when they are coming down and looking down the long list of names, they might say, newt gingrich, first major name, i'll stop reading here and pick gingrich. it's what the psychologists satisfying choosing the first name that is okay with you. >> neil: so if you are mitt romney and not the first recognizable name, does it potentially put you at a disadvantage? >> there is some research that could cause you a couple percentage points. it's hard to say with the ballot this long what kind of impact because there are some people that look at this and find the opposite and people choose the last name and they are more likely to choose. science is a little off. if you are earlier in the list you are more likely to

i mentioned buddy roemer, but when it comes to this presidential primary process, it's important to note that nobody drops out because they lose states. they drop out because their campaign is broke, and what we saw with the citizens united supreme court decision is that that sort of changes the rules. now we have a case where newt gingrich could come in fourth, possibly even fifth in the new hampshire primary tonight, but because of donations like this $5 million coming in, he can continue to stay in the race, so with jon huntsman for your new hampshire specific question is the only new area where we've actually seen a single pack come in and spend a lot of money, which is the pro jon huntsman super pack largely funded by his father. where candidates typically in the past needed to perform well enough to move on from past iowa to new hampshire and those two states don't pick presidents and dwippedding down the feel -- convince one person, his father to put him in the race, you have all of these other candidates on the ballot, and mitt romney, not the strongest candidate may win. >> call

and buddy roemer out flovent perry at 2%. rick perry at 1%. it's all about third and fourth.e suspense is. is john huntsman right? is something happening? >> something is happening out there. it could be. and it totally feels that way. he had a very big proud tonight. >> he is going around to this campaign events. and we see a lot of undecideds. >> john, talk to me about ron paul. is there softness there? >> besides the poll that you cited, lawrence, the public policy poll that came out this morning which is an important poll that's been very accurate on new hampshire in years past, hit the race tighter. huntsman is moving up, paul falling. there are other internal tracking polls that find the same trend. there's no doubt that there's going to be a surprise. the big surprise tomorrow night, predictable sur prize is huntsman leaping past paul. that is the most likely surprise scenario. >> i was going to say, the paul supporters are much more dedicated, much more passionate than any of the others. >> look, he has a high floor. he's not going to drop 16%, 17%. i think that is tr

governor buddy roemer. [applause] >> thank you. i am from southern new hampshire. [laughter] what's so funny? i am proud to be here. i live temporarily, for the last four months, in manchester in a small apartment they are. and i have gotten to know new hampshire very well and i like you a lot. he's treated me with kindness and honor. i'll always have good memories here. i ran for president for one reason. i thought america was headed into a decline. no matter how you measure it, i'll give you one statistic. there were a billion cell phones made in the world last year. 1 billion. you know how many were made in america? zero! and the president didn't say they. i've been to china many times and i know there are candidates who apologize for china and i won't mention mr. huntsman. but i offer no apologies. i have watched them trade. i've watched them work child labor. i've watched them work workers 12 hours a week, six days, 12 hours a day, six days a week. i've seen it. i have seen a worker in fact tree with a rope around her waist with a 2-year-old child tied to it.

buddy roemer was one of my favorites. i hope he gets back in it. i was a democrat.id not like the penalty phase on obamacare. i thought that it would be more harmful to people in lower class is then it would be to anyone else because people would have -- people who have money or have insurance. host: michigan, good morning. turn down your tv so we can hear you please. gore right ahead -- go right ahead. caller: i never voted for obama. all he has done is spend more money going golfing and taking trips that were unnecessary. would take care of itself. he just went back to work this past monday and i hope it continues. i am a christian. i believe these abortions are not called for. host: well-defined your vote -- what will define your vote? caller: these wars -- there are always going to be wars. there is never -- they are never going to be stopped. host: we have some comments on our facebook page. look to c-span and you can see the full video of mitt romney's speech last night. host: independent line in a recovery puerto rico. caller: every time i hear mitt romney su
