minnesota and missouri on tuesday. gingrich seems to be real loiping and holdi -- hoping and holding on for super tuesday a few southernuding his home state of georgia. what do you think of their strategy and chances? >> i think that both of them have adopted the only strategy that is available to each of them. i think that it is too soon to say it's over. the romney victory looks increasingly like he will be the nominee. i don't know if re logicreally . he will hang on until texas in april. i think it's a mistake for senator santorum to talk about the jobs numbers as though that somehow diminishes romney's need for being in the race. it ignores the poor economic condition we are in. it ignores the fact that these jobs numbers should have been better longer. it's an anemic recovery. higher spending since world war ii, more people unemployed -- fewer people employed since 1983. bad significant economic challenges that we face that if the jobs numbers don't turn around. any candidate would be better able to deal with that. a a let's put out the jobs numbers put out friday for january. they were good. the economy created
