fair to say on rudy guiliani. why are you hesitant to endorse or are you ready to endorse someone?t of all, to be clear, tea party patriots, which is the largest grassroots tea party organization in the nation, does not endorse candidates. we don't think it's good for citizen-run groups to endorse candidates. we believe they'll make decisions themselves. that is small government at its finest, so we don't endorse anybody. i think michael is correct, though, on these two candidates, on mitt and newt. they have a history that is not tea party value consistent. >> all right. a final question for you, then, mark. >> what's your biggest beef with mitt romney? >> i mean, the biggest beef is his history, first of all, of flip-flopping and second of all would be romney care. that's the number one thing. someone that stands against president obama has to look people like you in the eye, the media and their supporters and explain why obama care is so bad for the country, having modeled romney care and created the model for obama care, it's impossible to do that. >> we appreciate you taking t

great segment with rudy guiliani.hen: it was. >> just to hear his take from 2008 and what he's seeing now. anyway, wait until you guys hear what scott rasmussen has just found in his latest polling out of iowa. here we go again. these numbers will stun you. also democrats, are they conceding on the tax issue and the keystone pipeline at the same time? guess what putin is saying about senator mccain? john mccain is here live to react and is your doctor texting while he or she should be giving you the attention? martha and i will see you in ten minutes on "america's newsroom" ♪ that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm [ male announcer ] for half the calories -- plus veggie nutrition. could've had a v8. lugging around a hot water extraction unit can be a rush! that's why i'm carpet for life. but if things get out hand, there's no shame in calling us. ♪call 1-800-steemer. where they grow america's favorite wpotoes. idaho, everyone knows idaho potatoes taste great. but did you know they'reood for you too? they're high in vi

at this time back in 2008 former governor -- former mayor, rudy guiliani was in the lead, look at hisrs with 27.7%. fred thompson was second. mitt romney was fifth and he would win -- look at this, mccain would eventually take it all an was not even in it. mike huckabee was down at 10% and he would wind up winning iowa. ed rawlings is a campaign strategist and a fox news analyst. megyn: huckabee won iowa even though he was way down in the national polls yet he did not become the nominee. rudy guiliani who was crushing everybody in the national polls did not become the nominee, nor did he win iowa. >> he was ahead in all 50 states and didn't win it. megyn: when you see these polls with newt gingrich surging ahead of mitt romney, what does it tell you. >> there is an interest in him right now, he has momentum. there is always who has an organization. we watched people like gary hart, we watched mike huckabee. when momentum gets up to the organization, it sometimes falters. you don't win states you win delegates. there are 2248 delegates, you have to have 1145 of them to win. it's not li

you know, i just think that he is a lot like rudy guiliani.guiliani started on top, was head of the polls for awhile. and then as people began to look at him and decide there were issue positions they didn't like and i think newt will run into the same problem. but romney has to move because he is nervous about this train. he doesn't want that gingrich train to leave the station and that's why he is going on fox this sunday first time the sunday show in two years. >> john, you talked about looking under the hood. newt gingrich is a name that has been around washington politics for many years. when his hood is opened and we look underter, is it going to be too much for him with the history of some of the negative history that does surround his name? or will people look at him like a familiar face and someone who can maybe get some change happening in washington. >> it's a great question because what survey data showing so far is that people understand the new and improved newt but a lot of them don't know the baggage or the older newt and some

national polls were showing that the republican presidential nominee would almost certainly be rudy guilianihillary clinton leading barak obama by 17 percentage points. so throw away the national polls. they're worthless. >> gretchen: very interesting philosophy. i hear from a lot of viewers who say what about my state? how are the republican candidates doing in my state? they get a little frustrated looking at iowa, south carolina and others. this morning you have a new poll. >> a virginia survey this morning had newt gingrich narrowly leading mitt romney in virginia, which is one of the super tuesday states on march 6. the reason that people don't see a lot of polls in their states is because by the time the campaign gets to their states, the matchup will be totally different. some of the candidates won't even be in the race and the results of iowa and new hampshire and south carolina and florida will be factored into their thinking. so it's kind of a waste of money to do those polls right now. >> gretchen: exit question, when we look at the polls then that show how the republican candidat

rudy guiliani says newt gingrich may be stronger than mitt romney, although if you look at the crowd,hampshire last night, 1,000 people, it was overflow, you would think newt gingrich was getting a great reception. he said among other things, you will not see me bow down to a saudi king. he got a standing ovation. he promised a positive campaign. even though the campaign between him and mitt romney was not positive, and mitt romney threw the first punch yesterday sitting down with brian in new hampshire. watch. >> brian: do you believe that since he took money from fannie and freddie, hated agencies now, do you believe he should give that money back? >> i sure do. he was at a debate saying politicians who took money from freddie and fannie should go to jail, which is outrageous in itself. but he says he was in a consulting business? that's very different than the consulting business other people have been in. one of the things that people recognize in washington is that people go there to serve the people and then they stay there to serve themselves. >> steve: zing. >> brian: yeah. th

. >> gretchen: it was interesting because rudy guiliani, the former mayor of new york, was on our couch i don't know why rick santorum hasn't gained more steam in the polls because he likes what he's hearing coming out of your mouth. one of the things you want to happen today for the candidates vying for bob sander plat's endorsement, you, perry, gingrich and bachman, you're going to hear that in an hour. what would that endorsement mean to you? >> well, it would be a great boost for us because it's a pro-family organization here. again, they've been deliberating on this for really months. whoever gets this endorsement, clearly is going to have an edge. we obviously hope it's us. they've been pretty tight mouthed about it. but we feel that we're the candidate on the move. they're looking for the conservative candidate who has got a chance to win and i think people here in iowa, the buzz is that this is our moment, this is our chance to rise in the polls and once we rise as we have very slowly, steadily, based upon people not getting buzzed by the media or by debate performances. there w
