RUSH: Newt came out there and he\u2019s mad. Newt is ticked off. He is livid over the negative ads that Romney ran. Well, Romney\u2019s PAC ran against him in Iowa. And it\u2019s true, it\u2019s safe to say that Romney\u2019s ads took Newt out. Newt was at the top of the heap going into Iowa. Those ads worked. They took the bottom right out. Newt\u2019s foundation just plummeted. And Newt is angry about it, and it came across that he was angry. And some people say that that\u2019s not good, and Snerdley said, “It\u2019s not, it\u2019s not good. You\u2019re supposed to be ebullient and optimistic and positive and so forth. You\u2019re not supposed to get mad out there on the campaign trail. It shows intemperance, lack of judgment,” so forth and so on. <\/p>\n

But let me tell you how this is gonna manifest itself. Newt\u2019s not getting out. He\u2019s in this to destroy Romney now. Newt may be more motivated to destroy Romney than to even win this. Now, who does that benefit? Santorum,<\/a> who\u2019s gonna be sitting out over there on the other side, you know, doing the Mr. Clean routine. Newt\u2019s already got a full-page ad in the Union Leader comparing himself to Romney. And Bachmann\u2019s gotten out, and Bachmann <\/a>was one of Romney\u2019s chief agitators for a while. Then she backed off hoping, people theorized, that she might be positioning herself to be picked as the veep. But now it\u2019s possible that Romney might have to endure Newt going for the jugular in these debates. There\u2019s a Saturday night debate coming up, right? I think there\u2019s a debate Saturday night, and Newt is going to be loaded for bear. The gloves are coming off. So Newt will do to Romney, will try to do to Romney what Bachmann did to Pawlenty and to Newt. You know, she was a thorn in Newt\u2019s side. She wouldn\u2019t let go of it. Newt didn\u2019t get mad at her so much, but he got mad at Romney \u2019cause of the ads. Newt\u2019s motivated now. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, Snerdley, you can sit in there and say this is unbecoming to be mad, but I\u2019m telling you: Newt is motivated now. Who cares about…? He is motivated to ruin it for Romney, and as such if Newt can be — and I\u2019m not saying he can. I\u2019m just giving my own little bit of dime store analysis here. If Newt can be the guy to really make the case against Romney… Nobody has tried, folks. Romney has not been attacked. We have noted this throughout. The media hasn\u2019t attacked Romney; the establishment hasn\u2019t attacked Romney. Nobody has, and now Newt can\u2019t wait. It\u2019s personal. (interruption) I don\u2019t know if it\u2019ll backfire or not. Who knows? This is the thing! We don\u2019t know what\u2019s gonna happen with this. Backfire? How can it backfire?<\/p>\n

Newt plummeted to, what, fourth place from leading the thing? It\u2019s already backfired. What\u2019s he got to lose? And there might be a huge upside here. Because nobody has really taken it to Romney. So if Newt can be the first person to make a case against Romney, a credible case against Romney, then Santorum is positioned out there to perhaps take advantage. The conventional wisdom on Santorum<\/a> is, “What a joke! This guy can\u2019t win anything beyond Iowa. He\u2019s an extreme pro-lifer,” and, in fact, folks, the Libertarians — this from conservative media, these two headlines. “Rick Santorum\u2019s a Big Government Conservative. He\u2019d Be a Disaster in the White House.” That\u2019s James Delingpole in the UK Telegraph, and Delingpole\u2019s a conservative.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s Michael Tanner, National Review Online: “Santorum\u2019s Big Government Conservatism.” So from parts of the conservative media an attack on Santorum now is: “He loves big government! He wants big government to do his bidding. He\u2019s not a small government guy.” There\u2019s a coordinated effort now, there is a mantra:<\/a> “Santorum, big government guy!” I\u2019ve undertaken here to learn more details about his economic policy after I heard his speech last night. There were parts of it that intrigued me. So I dug deep today and I\u2019ve got a pretty good overview of what Santorum\u2019s economic policy is. I\u2019ll share it with you as the program unfolds, but this is nowhere near over now. This is just getting started.<\/p>\n

And the long-desired winnowing of the field is taking place. So the conservative vote is going to be split less — and Sarah Palin\u2019s out there. I don\u2019t know if anybody heard this last night, but she\u2019s going on, “You know, we better not marginalize Ron Paul\u2019s people. This isn\u2019t over! I might get back in.” She didn\u2019t say those words. She didn\u2019t say those words, but the door is open; she might get back in. Anything here. But the interesting thing to me is Newt. He\u2019s angry and if he can make the case and takes it to Romney, it\u2019ll be the first time that\u2019s been done. And there\u2019s Santorum there to pick up the pieces, and maybe Newt himself. So we might actually have a conservative going after the moderate, which hasn\u2019t happened yet in this whole cycle.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: There are six or seven debates in January. The big one is South Carolina. This New Hampshire… This is another thing, folks. New Hampshire is gonna be interesting but it\u2019s not over after New Hampshire, either; and don\u2019t let anybody tell you that it will be just like it wasn\u2019t over after Iowa or it wasn\u2019t over before Iowa. It\u2019s not gonna be over after New Hampshire no matter what happens there, and now… (sigh) By the way, I don\u2019t know whether to mention this or not. I\u2019m gonna go ahead and mention it. McCain announced last night — while Santorum was speaking!<\/p>\n

You think the establishment doesn\u2019t have it in for conservatives? While Santorum was speaking, McCain announces he\u2019s endorsing Romney. Now, that\u2019s some personal payback going on. You remember back in \u201908 Romney and McCain? I mean, everybody hated Romney. Huckabee hated Romney! Romney was running negative ads against people back then. I just got a note, “Rush, does it seem like every election cycle all the other candidates hate Romney?” Yeah, \u2019cause he\u2019s always had more money than they do and he\u2019s always been out running negative ads long before they have and it was the same thing in \u201908, and that\u2019s why Huckabee and McCain teamed up against Romney in West Virginia where it really did Romney in.<\/p>\n

That led into Florida, with Charlie Crist\u2019s endorsement of McCain. But Romney made amends. He spent the next couple of years making amends with the establishment, he went out and campaigned for McCain, so it\u2019s payback time now. Here\u2019s McCain endorsing Romney. Now, this. Let me put it this way: If I were seeking the Republican nomination for president, there are people whose endorsement I would want and people who I wish would not say anything, and McCain would be one who I would hope wouldn\u2019t come out in my favor. That\u2019s all I\u2019m saying.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now, if I\u2019m Romney — and I\u2019m not Romney — but if I am Mitt Romney, I might be a little worried because New Hampshire where I\u2019m scoring big in the preelection polls, is largely irrelevant. As everybody knows that I, Mitt Romney, have been campaigning there and dropping money there for years, and I have an insurmountable lead in the polls. So New Hampshire, yeah, I\u2019m gonna win big, but that\u2019s expected. <\/p>\n

Rick Perry looks like he\u2019s staying in. Still confusing here. The tweets are out there. The way I\u2019m reading, looks like he\u2019s staying in this thing. Which makes me happy, glad he is. But he might have to begin to consider when to pull the plug in coming weeks. I hope not. But money\u2019s money and debt is debt. Michele Bachmann has decided she didn\u2019t want to go into debt to stay in this, so she has pulled out. So if Gingrich stays in, and he is, he\u2019s gonna take on the role of Romney\u2019s definer. We were talking about this yesterday. Newt, I\u2019m telling you, is fed up with being defined by these negative ads. I just saw a statistic, 80% of all ads run prior to the Hawkeye Cauci in Iowa were personal ads aimed at Newt, the front-runner going in. Eighty percent of all ads — I\u2019m gonna double-check the stat. I see these things on the fly here, so bear with me while we double-check it. But 80% of all ads were adds aimed at an individual and 80% were aimed at Newt. The point is there were very few ideas ads. They were personal ads. <\/p>\n

Gingrich got defined and he\u2019s ticked off. So he stays in. Now, he probably will take on the role of Romney definer. Santorum has emerged here as a real threat, and they\u2019re taking it seriously because this mantra here that Santorum\u2019s big government conservative, folks, don\u2019t doubt me on this. That is the single greatest indication that they\u2019re afraid of him and taking him seriously. Because he\u2019s not a big government guy, not in that way. Romney needs Perry to stay in. Romney would have been helped if Bachmann had stayed in because Romney needs the conservative vote split. He needs to split the conservative vote and hope that others will focus on Newt during the debates, not him. <\/p>\n

If they drop out, which now Bachmann has, Newt hangs on, Romney becomes the focal point in the debates now, which hasn\u2019t yet happened. The question then becomes, can Romney put Santorum away? The question now becomes, what does Santorum have post-Iowa? Santorum didn\u2019t have any money. Santorum went to every county on the ground. It\u2019s called retail politics. I hate the term, but that\u2019s what it\u2019s called, retail politics. He shook hands in 99 counties. He went to thousands of whatever, town halls, I don\u2019t know how many doughnuts the guy ate. But whatever, I\u2019m jealous, \u2019cause he can eat all that food on the campaign trail and still look trim and thin and all that. At any rate, Romney needed Perry to finish ahead of Newt, and it didn\u2019t happen, so Santorum\u2019s surge, Newt out for revenge. There\u2019s a new dynamic that Romney is now facing for the first time in this race.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: The Washington Post says that only 40% of the Iowa ads were aimed at Newt. I have seen a higher figure, like 80%. Maybe the 80% was ads that were personal against all candidates rather than issue oriented. Regardless, still a high number, and they worked, as negative ads always do.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Eric in Billings, Montana. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Simply a pleasure to visit with you today, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And I was just commenting on Mr. Gingrich, who last night seemed to have turned his campaign into a revenge mode, and he seems to want to dictate how everyone is gonna run their campaign. You gotta follow Newt\u2019s rules or you\u2019ve done something wrong or he loses his temper, and I just don\u2019t think that\u2019s a way that\u2019s gonna win. I mean you got a hybrid of a guy that was a failed candidate who demanded everything be positive and then a failed president who thought he was the smartest guy in the room, and I just don\u2019t see Gingrich as a big help when he\u2019s trying to run a nanny state campaign and that he would be somebody that would cut my government down. I just don\u2019t see that —<\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold it just a second here. First question, are you referencing the Newt you saw last night?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, kind of all through the thing. He\u2019s been going around demanding that he\u2019s gonna make —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well, you said a bad temper. Did he look like he was in a foul mood or have a bad temper last night, to you?<\/p>\n

CALLER: I believe that he was in a mode of wanting to get revenge on Romney.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: And when you run a successful campaign or as a successful conservative, you have to take care of attacks on you but you don\u2019t sit there and take them personal and go to revenge. You have an agenda that you follow, and you don\u2019t let other people tell you how it\u2019s gonna be, but you respond to people —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me play devil\u2019s advocate with you. <\/p>\n

CALLER: All right.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let\u2019s be adults here. Newt is in politics. Now, anybody in politics ought to know that, A, you\u2019re gonna be lied about, and, B, if you are a factor, if you\u2019re a threat, that they\u2019re gonna run negative ads against you. So that ought not surprise you, correct?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Correct.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You would think anybody would know this. So here\u2019s a question. You\u2019re Newt Gingrich and you have a very high opinion of yourself, okay? We know this is true. And here\u2019s this guy Romney with this super PAC, and they\u2019re out there and they are telling one lie after another, I mean these were bombs that were being dropped, these were outrageous lies being told about Newt. If it was you, are you going to sit there, I\u2019m asking you personally, now, Eric, are you gonna sit there, “Well, that\u2019s just the game I\u2019m in. That\u2019s the league I\u2019m in here, and I have to expect this, and I\u2019m gonna ignore it.” Or are you gonna say, “You know what, it\u2019s payback time.” What would you do?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, I think I\u2019ve got to the point where my skin is thick enough that I would definitely respond to the attacks, but I wouldn\u2019t do it in a personal manner. You gotta respond and put your ideas out there and, you know, kick him in the knees when his shins are exposed. Politics isn\u2019t a friendly game. It\u2019s a verbal fist fight for the direction of the country. So you\u2019re gonna have to take him on, but you don\u2019t get up there and sulk that he didn\u2019t follow your campaign rules and sulk that you\u2019re the smartest guy in the room and how dare he treat you this way. That just shows, to me, weakness or —<\/p>\n

RUSH: Well —<\/p>\n

CALLER: — a grandiose opinion of yourself that —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I know. What you\u2019re saying, I think, Newt is coming off as somebody, “How dare they attack me? How dare they attack me?” And you\u2019re saying, “Hey, you\u2019re in the game, you\u2019re gonna be attacked no matter who you are.” George Washington was attacked. Lincoln was attacked. So I hear what you\u2019re saying. I do. But I also know this. Whether you agree with it or not and whether you think it\u2019s wise, I\u2019m just telling you, and I frankly find it interesting. I think, if I\u2019m reading it right, and I could be wrong about this, days will pass and emotions will level off, but what I saw last night told me that Newt is gonna go into New Hampshire and beyond and try to take Romney out every bit as much as Newt is going to try to win it himself. That\u2019s how angry he is. And from the spectator point of view, folks, what could be better? From the purely spectator point of view, what could be better? If it\u2019s a NASCAR race Newt is going to intentionally crash his car into Romney\u2019s. After all, why do people go to races? So I mean it could be a win-win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
