" 18774694322187746. Worth every two to the toll -- Number of how we are reflected in this. He's talking about being. Primary in Massachusetts is will be switch the date could be switched."

" Two for march 4 to February -- that's probably today the whole process is going to be over. And as you know New Hampshire has tentatively schedule it's. Primary for January the eighth but there's nothing official yet because there's still waiting for Michigan they're there I think bill Gardner who's the secretary of state and New Hampshire. Who's in charge he's legally mandated. By the legislature to make sure that New Hampshire has the earliest primary he's still concerned I guess about the state of Michigan the the tentative date is is January the -- For primary in New Hampshire usually it's in the middle of February. So everything's going to move a lot faster we just got a cough. Yes in Massachusetts primary will be February fat all right it's a -- show 37 to 18 house passed it. It's official I assume they were mainly if you a few Republicans who voted against it. There are many Republicans and there's about what the 540 and he was 344 in the Senate. But I think some of the clerks were angry to summit town clerks -- they have a winter meetings believe they're not edit in in its breach. I don't know why it's a big deal -- to stir bridge. In late January early February but apparently they thought that somehow their winter conference the week before it was going to be interfered with by having the the presidential primary on February the fifth so they they may have convinced a handful of so wants to vote against it but it's it's a done deal now. So as you wise as you may have seen. Barack Obama is now in the lead in Iowa. He's drawn support from 30% of likely democratic caucus goers compared with 26% for Clinton. And John Edwards despite running one of the felonious stormiest campaigns I've ever seen. Is -- 22% meanwhile Bill Richardson the governor of New Mexico is still up 11% -- That's pretty teeth of the storm pretty well considering he doesn't. Doesn't have nearly resources that those other people but anyway those -- the those with top contenders on the democratic side on the Republican side as you know Mike huckabee has been in the closing in. One Mitt Romney in Iowa however in the New Hampshire. Hillary Clinton maintains a it's a fairly wide lead over Barack Obama and Mitt Romney has been again pulling away from his opponents and Rudy. Who was on with -- yesterday Rudy Giuliani. Is now head down the 16% he's down eight points down butler. In guess a couple of months and just by holding steady at 18% John McCain is now in second place. So on a New Hampshire among the Republicans it's it's 33 -- the eight team. McCain and 16 Giuliani. So my question for you whiz -- with it with talk briefly about the assess -- have been back but with who we you for have you changed your mind. The -- one of the interesting. Points in the in the most -- I -- to CNN poll in New Hampshire is that most of the Republicans say they could easily change their mines. The man that would that would against seemed to me to BA an advantage for a -- on the just because he has the money to keep advertising. And as long as he's ever thought that this I mean in this front loading of the primaries it's is it means it's gonna be cheaper to run for president there are certainly be cheaper to run for president this year. By the way the Massachusetts change is only for the should this one year. Mean I don't know what they gonna do -- who knows what they're -- doing for years but this is -- permanent change they just decided to do it for this. This one's aura around so anyway who or who you for do you think's gonna win. And what have you changed your mind what changed your mind 1877469432218774694322. Another interesting point in the in the poll. In Iowa is that among female voters. Hillary is number one of course among male voters she's number three. She's behind Barack Obama and John Edwards among male voters that's not a good sign -- and the the fact is that the the Iowa caucuses are going to take place of the inquiry third. January 2 something like that and -- the obviously that's not one of the better. At Denny's in in him on the calendar for whether and you know women. Women are our poll in these in the samples obviously. But in in reality according to people who were gone through these caucuses in the past. Women especially younger women -- children don't tend to turn now in the same numbers as men. Who don't generally have the familial responsibilities and old women whose kids are grown and men and older women are the ones who. Like Hillary less than the young women with the kids. So she could she could get smoke them I think she'll still win but it would be it would pretty interest in the CEO Barack Obama Paula about it Iowa 18774694322 bread that your next with our cargo ahead Brenda."

" How -- you know my afternoon of the act normal about it got back it's that the beautiful thank you yell out I know lab and -- what -- cut debate.

But I would play that they you know was that proudly displayed every day when they have attract. Got a kick out of that but I'm still gonna go attack could be moved up in the poll and I think that says them but I don't it would -- an upstart but even move an appetite lap."

" He has he's he's within one of the polls -- within like I think for five point two Mitt Romney and of course you spend no money compared the Mitt Romney."

" Meanwhile Thompson is down to number six New Hampshire but 60 below he's below wrong Paul."

" Yes sir that you pat your next with our car."

" Yeah I gotta go to Giuliani -- particular whatever the reason I actually got to -- side -- top -- right. It's up -- excess spending. The big thing is he can beat Hillary had been adage you're gonna get the democratic nomination outright because she's got a lot of money -- she's got the machine runner or you're out. And they you know out money isn't the money the mother upon."

" I think OPEC you know I mean I'm just you know -- going off the stories I got in front of me here and I and you know I know everybody has ups and downs throughout the course of a campaign but right now in Florida this is in Florida Giuliani is ahead by seven points but Thompson Mitt Romney also beater in Florida."

" All right yeah well what about that -- these stuff you have suspect it right there you -- that's well what for all our."

" Yeah but I mean do you think do you is that I don't think he can beater in New York DO."

" I think guys think it's certainly can't I absolutely believe."

" about that the New York isn't it is always been -- blue and now it's a very blue state I -- indictment did you know I guess he's he's running dead even -- in New Jersey that would be and they -- for the Republicans the -- off I don't think they've -- that state for. You know for 20 years."

" Yeah I bet it got one -- picked -- but you know if you if you find out about New York State I think you'll find Giuliani beats her -- that had their you know if you were -- that -- remembered back which -- for that somebody was -- after -- there. They had that you have a legal curveball."

" I know I I don't know I you know I was wondering though if you would be here today you know I I remember that before he got sick that he was leading in the polls by I don't.

There aren't going to -- about the public debt Republicans in my opinion how he is there not a true conservative not -- camp all the record for Giuliani. But the more I hear -- and they -- like an Opteron. The more likely because the number one priority to me is the war on terror and demand elderly talking about what it --"

" What do you think about -- always with the ease with Ted Kennedy and George Bush on the immigration bill I know we claims he's changed his mind but you know why he looked at upon a lot of people change their minds after a look at the polls."

" Exactly by you know what you're thinking that the on the walk parent he's this. A question about that -- but it looks like -- on immigration.

But I think when you didn't react to this presidential race. I think he if you just keep everything cool right now he's going to pull ahead all of all the rest of them."

" Yeah he's he's way behind in the national polls but again national polls don't mean much what matters is the early state."

" Said he did early. Yeah it's very --"

" Alex to hit it just by as early as he usually is in this time of the election cycle you know I mean there's -- there's going to be -- going to be about the two months the last. To make your to make your pitch -- you know I guess Mitt Romney would rather keep people out of college. So they can keep working on his -- Since he had illegals there. -- that's -- mean.
