sioux city. 3 1/2%. conservatives here.ut here not long ago, a lot of conservatives target this area here. excuse me for reaching across. we'll see if the romney organization can deliver tonight, romney carried this area four years ago. remember conservatives have attacked him saying he's not the true conservative. if you look at the three counties in the west all carried by romney. in woodbury, where sioux city is, he had a decent margin. what happens out of the western part of the state, we don't have the votes there just yet. >> conventional wisdom before voting began tonight was the northwest more conservative perhaps more likely to go for santorum. the east more for romney and population centers where there's more young people because of iowa state, ron paul. >> romney's doing okay here. not quite as strongly as he did last time. santorum is winning. >> he's lost ground. >> compared to four years ago, but you have a three-way race this time, you had a two-way last time. a lot of these counties we're talking a few hundr

. >> but you have to think about santorum also in sioux city, iowa last sunday, when he talked about entitlements, that "i don't want black people's -- i don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them someone else's money," the suggestion that black people just shiftless and lazy and the hard-working people or white people. you look at the statistics, of course, blowing his thesis out of the water as to who is getting entitlements and he was 9. the pending he did in sioux city is something that is going to haunt him. >> well, except that the pandering works, and there are a lot of angry, white middle-class males out there. >> we go back to our friend mark shields in new hampshire. >> we know that new hampshire can turn on a dime and new hampshire voters do not like a coronation. one of the people who is very much under the gun, this is his last chance, is jon huntsman. he has put all of his eggs in this basket. but we have two debates back to back this weekend. this is the last chance a number of candidates realize they have to make their case not only for themselves b

woodbury county, where sioux city is, 3.5% of the population.se counties have a lot of democrats. you say, oh, it's 5% of the population, but you know it's a democratic county. this is conservative republican country. we don't have any votes yet. four years ago, mitt romney carried it by a pretty good margin, 15%, over mike huckabee. not that many votes four years ago. is the turnout up in this conservative area? when you come back to 2012, this is the area of the state that if it states this close, as we get out to the west, now especially that we're filling in these smaller rural counties. marshall county, we're waiting for that. that's actually a relatively large county when you get into this part of the state, 1.4%. webster county, we're waiting for that. this is key. if rick santorum going to pull it out, he needs to turn the rest of the map purple. if romney's going to pull this out, he needs to improve their standings as they start counting the votes. romney is ahead here. if he keeps that margin when the rest of this comes in, it is one

the one county that is really big is sioux city, a city in which sioux city where we held our last debate tonight because it's a big county with a lot of votes. >> megyn: we await that and remarks from speaker gingrich and michelle bachmann and more from the panel after the break. stay with us. what's going on? we ordered a gift oine and we really need to do something with it... i'm just not sure what... what is it? oh just return it. returning gifts is easier than ever with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service. if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. plus i can pick it up for free. perfect because we have to get that outta this house. c'mon, it's not that... gahh, oh yeah that's gotta go... priority mail flat rate shipping starts at just $4.95. only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship and return. >> megyn: welcome back to des moines, iowa where we are watching results coming in and remains too close to call with 88% of the precincts, rick santorum is now in the lead at 25%. mitt romney so close behind at 25% and it's 26,398 for romney

sioux falls to sioux city with snow and des moines just a little bit. quad cities north wards from rochester to the squad cities and northern illinois and wisconsin you'll have snow probably during your morning commute. i think chicago get away with the morning commute and right after is when the snow is beginning in your area. this isn't a big storm. a narrow storm. the track it's going to take is this morning from the iowa area, northern illinois, back through the southern ohio or southern great lakes, northern ohio valley and eventually saturday morning right off the mid-atlantic and southern new england coast line. it's a narrow area that will pick up the snow. the snow could come down and be fluffy and aaccumulate let's. chicago 3 to 6 inches for you and looks like the higher terrain out of the pittsburgh up to 8 and pittsburgh 6 or so. bigger cities that haven't seen a lot of snow, hartford and providence and you have a chance 3 to 6 and main a little more if you're fortunate. that is the target area for the snow. that's a look at the national for

it was frankly after the fox debate in sioux city. they saw in me machine to take it to barack obama in the debate and hold him accountable and when i questioned ron paul on his dangerous policiless on allows nuclear iran. that turned a light switch on, in voters in iowa. a lot of people are coming on tuesday night who are undecided and what they have seen in me is a champion to stand up for them and in particular of all of the candidates in the race, i am the only one with current national security experience. our next president will be tested immediately. look at what is happening in the strait of hormuz with iran. i am prepared to meet that challenge. that's what our next president will have to do. >> chris: don't you have a big disadvantage. your rivals are spending millions in campaign commercials. you haven't run a single tv commercial since iowa in aimes until today when you will run commercials in the last two days before the caucaus. isn't your campaign running on fumes? >> guest: we are running on the power of meeting with i

, both in his inner staff and in what i call the power pastors in the state, all the way out in sioux citye pulpit. you don't do it from the pulpit, although some pastors think you should do it. they basically don't do it. but they have huge networks. they've got congregations of 1,000, 1,500. they put out the word. these people are active in politics. they're almost like the guys back in philly, chris, except they've got their precincts and their precincts are their parishioners. >> i heard the message at church yesterday out here, the catholic church out here, the bishop was talking about voting your values. >> the catholics are going with santorum. >> and those values voters are really attracted to santorum. that's one reason, i think, he's going to do so well. but i think newt gingrich is likely to come out of iowa with enough support left to contest santorum for that coalescing conservative bloc, if indeed it coalesces. >> let's take a look at santorum. here he is going after mitt romney on what romney considers his biggest strength. his business background. let's listen. >> we are no

. >> that comment came during a stop in sioux city with the department of welfare. we called the santorum campaign to ask him why he singled out blacks in his statement as opposed to anyone receiving welfare. a spokesperson said he didn't recall the candidate saying anything like that. >>> colleagues are slugging it out in iowa, john huntsman is focusing his attention in new hampshire. that state holds its primary next week. >> virginia's attorney general is no longer pushing for an immediate change in the rules that kept two presidential candidates off the ballot. rick perry failed to submit the 10,000 signatures. they have gone to court to argue the rules are too strict. there's no way to change those rules now and still be fair to the candidates who qualified. mitt romney and ron paul will be on the ballot. >> hoky nation is living it up in new orleans. football fans providing a big economic boost. coming up at 7:00, i'll take a look at the tremendous impact on college bowl games on football in that city. >> all right, we'll see you then. still ahead in this half

also, right here on the we were border, sioux city, woodbury county, sioux city not in -- not in sioux county, by the way. all of these western counties, no votes in at all yet. in a 2008, mitt romney won these. both santorum and romney spent time there. it appears santorum is overperforming in some of these places were romney did well in some of these western counties, we shall seem you don't want to project anything out, we have zero vote from those important counties. one other note that domenico and our political unit came up with, mitt romney is underperforming in all of the mississippi river counties from what he did the last time. he is still wing many of these counties, i know everybody loves our red, light red, pink color scheme here, but if you watch it carefully, you can see, mitt romney is still winning most of the counties that he won the last time on this side, but clearly santorum made some inroads in these counties, cut the margins here, mitt romney isn't winning by the same margins he won by four years ago. this is a heavily catholic part of the state. there was the qu

they say reporting from sioux city iowa, riding a burst, republican candidate rick santorum told a crowd of supporters this afternoon that he is ready for a wave of negative attacks now that he has emerged as one of the top tier contenders in iowa. "this isn't my first rodeo, i have been in tougher races. i have had the national media crawling up where they could crawl. it's not going to be fun." it has the air of a victory lap as he began the last two days of a long iowa campaign with what he said was his 372nd town hall meeting, again, part of the reporting today from iowa. our coverage continues, of course, here on espn, our road to the white house coverage and we will, of course, have all of these events with you that took place today on our reair starting at 9:00 eastern tonight. we understand the candidate is just a moment or two away, so let's watch and listen as this event gets underway. live coverage here on espn. >> thank you so much. how are you? love the hat! how are you? thank you very much. my mother -- how are you? >> good grief. talk about a crowd. wow! how are you feelin

it came after a question yesterday in sioux city. santorum started talking about welfare and brought race into his answer. >> i don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money. i want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money, provide for themselves and their families. >> reporter: you said that you don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money. why did you say that? >> i've seen that quote, i haven't seen the context in which that was made. yesterday i talked, for example, about a movie called -- what was it? it was about black children. and so i don't know whether it was in response and i was talking after, talking about that. so let me just say, no matter what, i want to make every life better. i think if you look at what i've been saying, i've been pretty clear about my concern for dependency in this country and concern for people not being more dependent on government, whatever their race or ethnicity is. >> cbs news will have the latest on

reported so the numbers are rapidly changing the, western part of the state, particularly this sioux city area, romney won all of that, in 2008 and we are not seeing any numbers from there yet, so that could really change these dramatically if those come in strongly for him. and then th the central part ofe state is what mike huckabee was able to capture in 2,00 2008, at of the core evangelical vote and you have a lot of candidates now on top with these early returns. >> i think it is fair to say the color pallet is confused compared to what we woul we woue expected compared to what we saw four years ago, now maybe, maybe the colors will align the way we think that th are supposed to align on the basis of four years ago, but right now it is odd. >> perhaps we shouldn't be surprised, this is kind of in keeping with how volatile this race has been all along. >> it is a different kind of race than four years ago, isn't it somewhere you had a conservative, mike huckabee, who had the evangelicals and now the republican electorate and to some extent the new independent voters have scattered acr

"waiting for superman" which was about black children so i don't know whether it was in response and i was talking after talking about that. so let me just say no matter what i want to make everybody's lives better i don't want anybody... and i think if you look at what i've been saying i've been clear about my concern for a depen den any this country and concern for people not being more dependent on government whatever their race or ethnicit
