roland?2008 thein sein tore hillary clinton beat thein sein tore obama. he won 14 of the delegates, she won 13. at the end of the day this is about delegates. we can talk about santorum winning iowa by 34 votes, 8 votes, whatever the number is. it doesn't matter. it comes down to delegates. most of the iowa delegates wasn't a woorded on that night. it's not that big of a deal. that's old news because now it's about south carolina. that will not be an issue when it comes to the debate. of course santorum will talk about it because he'll say i won the voters there in iowa but mitt romney's not going to worry about that. the key tonight is simply going to be how quickly will you see them go after romney and how does he handle the attacks? he is going to have to have much better answers than he had beforehand. now that rick perry's out, there's more time and you can't lean on rick perry screwing up. >> will? >> time. yeah, first of all on the santorum news, it's just north of inconsequential. doe

i put you next to roland.you guys know each other. >> starting on the right note. >> i'm kid sdplg serious story. i want to start with this sense to me that it's a clash of cultures really. some people have said, this is really an example of domestic violence, not honor killings. what's the difference? >> moderate muslims who these days are not very moderate at all suggest that it is only domestic violence which is bad enough. but the reality is that honor murders are, in fact, usually premeditated. and plotted. and this means that it's not just an outburst of killing, it is something that is schemed. often as well, by the way, with the buy-in of women in the family because this is part and parcel of a cultural tradition called honor which is a tribal tradition that emphasizes the family or the tribe or the community over the individual. >> is it cultural or is it religious or is it -- great question, osoledad. muslims themselves often confuse culture with religion. this theme honor killing is not islamic. i s

he won two states in a row. >> here's what roland martin is doing. >> i'm used to that soledad. >> roland, why are you shaking your head? >> because, if you want to win the nomination, it does not matter about a narrative. it doesn't matter how many states you won. it boils down to 1-4-4-5. this is great for us because, oh, he won these states. the bottom line on that night we were all going gaga over iowa and how many delegates were at stake on that particular night? that's the bottom line. if you're mitt romney you're not going to worry about whatever news conference today. you're focused on north carolina and moving on. >> the race does not move on until they decide the number of delegates. by the overall sense in a party where the race is going. money shuts off way before some, very few races like obama/clinton actually go all the way to the end. i do not think this would have had a big effect. social conservatives generally do not perform there and probably would have changed the trajectory of the race. gives political junkies to say, six consecutive political races will be decided t

and will cain and roland martin. and also this morning, we are being joined by tom, thank you for being with us. appreciate your time. let's get right to it. sir, what's the plan for today when you look at the graphics that show us the lead that you actually had, looks like a nice solid 12-point lead for newt gingrich. give me analysis, why do you think he won? what did you write? >> what? am i on, soledad? >> yes rk, you are. >> last week terrific things happened. one was the united states for the first time in its peace time history has a debt greater than 100% of its gdp. the same time, nine countries in europe had their currencies downgraded as a result of their debt ratios which six of them are better than america's. the worst is greece with 120% of gdp. we will surpass that within a year. now, how do you fix it? there's only been one person able to balance the budget four consecutive years since 1928 and that was under the leadership of speaker gingrich. so when it comes to balancing the budget, getting control

roland martin is making trouble. good morning again.resentative from the state of arizona. he's a surrogate for newt gingrich. it's nice to have you. >> first to be here. >> feel free to order coffee in the middle of the show. let's talk taxes. >> taxes. >> your candidate has been pushing, pushing, pushing mitt romney to release the taxes. finally this morning there was a release. we'll have the more full release for the years 2010 and 2011 in about half hour. as far as you're concerned, is the issue settled for you? >> i don't want to contradict the candidate. i'm convinced that if there were an issue that could hurt us in the general election, mr. romney's taxes, it would be in those tax returns prior to him beginning to run for president because a person running for office, i'm assuming, would pay very close attention to those kinds of things. perhaps if there were any issues, it would be more focused on those returns prior to him running for election. mr. gingrich has made his comment and i certainly understand that. >> let's get a

. >> roland, a lot of those elements appealed to the democratic base. you saw them standing up and applauding enthusiastically. >> but it appeals to the american people. what the president basically said is congress, get your butt to work. paul is right. the close there was absolutely strong. any preacher would love to have that kind of close when he said it's the mission that matters. i'll tell you, ari, if you're out there, republican or democrat, and you're trying to keep your home, you like what the president had to say. if you're a republican or a democrat and you want your kids in college and you want that tax credit, you have no problem with what the president had to say. so i think -- this is not a question of, well, let's focus on the debt or whatever. this is a president saying, i'm speaking to the american people, and, congress, it's time for you to stop playing games and be like our military. be of one nation, one accord, let's move together. >> hold on, ari. i want to bring candy in for a second. a lot of the themes the president is going t

i appreciate roland's patience in his political analysis. if you sell yourself and if you've been sold and the public has bought you as this premier debater, you better keep one in debates and last night mitt romney played him on that clip, randi. it's not about 11 million grandmas, another great moment, he turned newt gingrich's ambition and into pandering, you shouldn't go to every state promising that state their own little political interest. he got him so many times last night the end result is that the future does not look bright. >> at the end of the day, randi, this is steel. this is a delegate game. you still have to get 1,144. you might not do well in one state, might do well in another. this is going to go on for a long time and we've already seen in these four states ups and downs, mitt real hot, newt losing. it's this state and then on to the next one. >> a lot of people are weighing in. former candidate bob dole is a romney supporter and blasted gingrich for being one man band who rarely took advice and goes on to say if gingri

>> roland, what do you make of that exchange?, look. frankly the issue with me isn't even the tone. the most important thing to me is the topic. if you're rick santorum, that is not an issue that is going to dominate in new hampshire. that plays well in iowa. it plays well in south carolina. look, when you are in that moment and realize i can't convince this person, guess what? you get in, you get out. you move on. you don't sit here and engage in a back-and-forth. because it ends up being this kind of question in this kind of segment. and so rick santorum has to understand, economics is going to drive the discussion in new hampshire, not gay marriage. >> ford, you have ten second. >> i completely agree with roland that you've got to move on but the youth vote in the primary is going to go for ron paul. let's be honest, the president's position on gay marriage is undefined and it is "still evolving." i'm not sure this is going to hurt rick son toantorusantorum. the lesson here is -- don't do college events. randi? >> go, houston

joining me now, conservative blogger, crystal wright, and cnn political analyst, roland martin.gest battle of the super pacs has been between newt gingrich and mitt romney. roland, you know, when you're talking about these negative ads, and they're meant to be at arm's length from the candidates, what damage is being done to the system? what are the candidates saying makes them okay? >> well, first of all, the american people buy into negative ads. they absolutely work. the only reason newt gingrich is upset is because he didn't have all the money for his super pacs in iowa to run against mitt romney. his money didn't come in until north carolina and now south carolina. yes, i do believe when you have this much money, when it is anonymous, you don't know who is behind it, they are putting the kind of money in, it is damaging because you are moving the people out of this process, but we've known for a long time, money has always ruled politics. >> and then the candidate, crystal, with the most money is going to get the most negative ads on, and therefore influences the most peopl

and i agree with paul and roland that it was interesting that he wrapped the entire economic speech at both ends, beginning with the iraq war is over and ending with, and by the way, osama bin laden is dead. the truth is this president gets higher marks for his handling of foreign policy now than he does for his handling of the economy. it was an astute political move of him. >> ari fleischer, you wanted to make another point. >> roland's point about how the public will receive the speech, in 2008, the public loved barack obama's speeching. in 2009, they really liked them. in 2010, they liked them. in 2011, they didn't like them. now, in 2012, the people have heard so much of this before, if the economy is bad, dent is sky high, spending is out of control, and unemployment is out of control. it hasn't worked, in fact, it's aggravated what we have. >> i wasn't speaking about the speech, i was speaking about policy. i grew up in houston, an oil and gas city and state. if you're a parent watching right now, you heard the president talking about a policy when it comes to keeping your kids

. >> let me get roland martin to weigh in. they appealed to the liberal base. we saw them standing up. >> but it also appealed to american people. we can talk ability the people in the room, but the president basically said, congress, get your butt to work. paul is right. the close there was absolutely strong. any preacher would love to have that kind of close. it's a mission that matters. i'll tell you, ari, if you're out there, republican or democrat, and you're trying to keep your home, you like what the president had to say. if you're a republican or democrat and you want your kids in college and you want that tax credit, you have no problem with what the president had to say. i think, this is not a question of let's focus on the dent or whatever. this was a president saying i'm speaking to the american people, and congress, it's time to stop playing games and be about one nation, one accord. let's move together. >> candy crowley -- hang on, ari. >> candy, a lot of themes the president is going to be delivering in the course of the next many months leading

please. >> hold on, roland.when your predictor wheels fly off, quit predicting. >> let me help you with something, texas longhorn and dallas cowboy fan. when you only won one race, you can't say he keeps winning. he did horrible in iowa, didn't win south carolina. how can we keep saying he is winning. if he wins florida and other states, we can make that kind of comment. so he only won one state. this is what i'm talking about, the role has changed, the bottom line is here. you put the shirt money on who they think the mom nominee is going to be. they change their tactic. it's easy to attack newt gingrich. >> just so i'm clear, your argument is that newt gingrich should be underestimated? >> no, what you said is gingrich keeps winning. >> all i said, roland, is don't underestimate him. >> a democrat certainly confident that gingrich will not be the nominee, listen to this. >> he's not going to be president of the united states. that's not going to happen. let me just make my prediction and stand by it. it's not

. >> roland? >> quick enough? >> that's quick enough.and. >> he has no choice to step out because this will affect his future in the party and as a conservative voice. he can't lose that. if he loses all credibility, he's toast. he has to go back to those funders when he's all done. >> kyra, if he wants to take down mitt romney he should drop out now. drop out now. >> chucky is not dropping out, will. >> will and roland will continue. meanwhile, cnn is the place not only for debate, as you can see, but for the southern republican presidential debate in charleston. it's a week from today 8:00 eastern on cnn. they get another chance to debate the issues two days before the south carolina primary. we'll bring roland and will back. >>> it's been a pretty mild winter so far. it's not good for an industry that relies on snow. can ski resorts expect some fresh powder any time soon? rob marciano has a gig this week. presidential power meets a list of star power at the white house. why brad pitt and angelina jolie paid president and mrs. obama a
