>> good to see you, sean. >> sean: first after all, we expect a bounce. usually about ten points. significant for santorum. your reaction to the poll numbers? >> yeah, i think, i would not be surprised if santorum actually challenges romney for the lead in new hampshire. there are two candidates who are generous, that unique, if you are forthem, you are for them. if you are against them, you are against them. ron paul and mitt romney. everybody else is basically spongeable. if you are for huntsman or you are for bachmann or perry or gingrich, you might as well be for santorum. they're kind of in a pool. there is not much separating them. they are very few that hate each or love the other one. they're spongial. they swing rapidly. since we're so focused on defeating barack obama, being a winner becomes the own qualification. being a loser becomes its own disqualification. santorum looks very much like a winner now. i think it will go up and up and up. derek jeter once said about baseball the good teams make the playoffs. the hot teams win the playoffs. that is true. >> sean: right.

gingrich, no. >> sean: why is it not fair?to understand, i come from a business background. i know when times are tough, we have to make hard decisions. we never want to let people go. when times are good we love to hire people. anybody in small business, anybody in big business knows you do everything you can to, one, make sure the business is surviving and two make sure that people prosper. >> sean: he was saying governor romney net 100,000 jobs created. some businesses lost jobs and gained jobs. staples is one of them. sports authority is another one. i think this is capitalism. that is my argument. bigger argument that is being made, do you think, you were a favorite of the tea party, is the reason you are supporting governor romney is because you believe is the most conservative in if he can win? why? >> the reason is because i need a partner in the white house. i will tell you the hardest part about my job has been the federal government. i had a straight up conversation with governor romney. we can't have healthcare man

dick morris, welcome back, sir. >> great to be here, sean. >> sean: let me ask the question i asked rickn the 9th circle of liberal hell, like tim tebow if you're a social conservative? >> well, it's -- it defines the democratic party. social conservativism to them is not a party. the democratic demographic, and gays are democrat, pro choice, because single women tend to be democrats and they're joined at the hip in that connection, but i was struck by the two interviews that you must did earlier tonight and i was struck by the contrast. gingrich seems to forget that he's running for president. all he did was attack romney. santorum did it right. talked about how good he was. and ultimately, you know, you can't run as a prosecutor. kind of saying, it doesn't matter what you think of me, make this guy guilty. and i thought that was really what gingrich was doing. i thought it was a tremendous mistake. >> well. >> i thought when you see-- something positive to say. >> sean: i think it's obvious what happened. newt gingrich is angry at the romney super pac ads and he's honest about it and i
