why is newt gingrich suddenly surging to the top? rush limbaugh says he knows. >> take a step back and understand why republican voters are responding to newt now as opposed to a month ago, six weeks ago, two months ago. i mean newt has been in the race since it began. why now? why now is newt gingrich at the top of the heap in iowa, and in some national polls, as well? why? we are three years into barack obama's war on prosperity. now i think americans are coming to grips with the up side, if not the necessity of a limited government. and now that people understand or are beginning to understand the deceit that is liberalism, including it's standard bearer, barack obama, they are looking for somebody to clearly articulate a way out and they want to hear it said with strength and passion and power and intelligence. what newt is doing is no secret. newt is tapping into the american mind-set. he has the ability to do it. he also has the ability to blow it. which is what gives people pause. but at this point they are looking past that.

. >> any questions of newt gingrich? >> my question is that you spent a lot of years in congress. you have a distinguished career. then you left congress. that gave you an opportunity to start of their ventures and to think. you have been studying and thinking about things rather than being in sign that washington bauble. quarter the three biggest things that you have come to realize being outside the bubble? >> first iraq, it is it -- first of all, it is an interesting reversal. you got drawn into public life by the pressure. i left the public sector and opened a number of small businesses. the first thing i learned which is the opposite of how government works, if you do not get up every morning trying to find a customer, please a customer, renew a relationship, you don't get to stay in business. this is part of why and so intrigued with strong american now, and applying it to the american government. if you have not burned your pay today, "you think we will pay you? -- why do you think we will pay you?

newt gingrich has gone from 8% up to 22%. herman cain, he's dropped off 11 percentage points. the kane controversy is -- cain controversy is continue. it was the former boyfriend of one of the accusers. >> she said that something had happened and mr. cain had touched her in an inappropriate manner. she said she handled it and didn't want to talk about it any further. >> reporter: so another person is coming to herman cain's defense. that's his wife. i'll play a quick preview that's airing tonight on fox news. >> to hear such graphic allegations and know that that would have been something that was totally disrespectful of her as a woman, and i know that's not the person he is. he totally respects women. >> reporter: so kelly, that's the first time we're hearing from his wife on all of this. >> reporting live from washington, d.c. thanks for joining us. >>> former first daughter chelsea clinton, not really political but has spined a special correspondence provision with nbc news. clinton will be working as a reporter for rock center. she will do stories for the network's making

gingrich is soaring. first, rick perry is not the person you would choose to be captain of your debating team. second, herman cain appears to be geographically challenged. third, mitt romney has lukewarm support. fourth, as mark shields predicted what happened months ago, newt gingrich's effective performance in the debates has been reflected in the polls. do you want to take a victory lap here? >> no, but i want to point out that this format is made up for newt gingrich. eight candidates up there, a premium on who can speak coherently, concisely, using facts in his argument. he is the best and certainly in that group at that i started there is nothing adversarial. maria bartiromo of the cnbc was the only person who would even challenge him. in a party that is dying to beat barack obama, he appears to be the one guy at that they feel could go toe to toe with obama. mitt just isn't the guy they want to go home with. >> this was not as nasty or as damaging totally to anybody as the previous debates, althoug

>> that's newt gingrich's great advantage. he's been dealing with these issues for quarter of a century or more, he's been the speaker of the house, he has thought a lot about these issues, he's got a lot of ideas. you heard him flesh them out tonight. he was even mentioning places to go to look for ideas that he had already read. he's impressive in this kind of a setting. if newt gingrich is to get into trouble, it won't be the kind of trouble herman cain got into exactly with bad debate answers or rick perry, although he did pretty well tonight. it's likely to be things outside the realm of debate which is the former speaker's strong suit and you saw that again tonight. he talks very well. >> it is interesting the person seen as the front runner and who has had a challenge most recently by newt gingrich, mit romney is who we come to next of a talking about all the others who seem to be in some ways more animated characters on the stage. but there's mit romney. how did he do tonight? >> mit romney did fine. mit romney always

of course, newt gingrich did not say anything like that. about the immigration hawks tonight. he talked about being humane to what would presumably be a small subset of people who came here illegally who have been here quite a long time, with ties to communities, contributing members of society and belong to churches and who have families. that was, it seems to me, that might limit any damage that would be done to him by an argument that might have sounded to some like an argument near a certain kind of amnesty. >> one of the them, jon huntsman, whose argument in recent weeks for staying in this race where he is very low in the polls, is that he will be a surprise performer in new hampshire. clearly, this was in his bailiwick. and it seemed that he was trying to flex the muscle of that several times, in terms of showing the depth of am he has in pakistan and china. how do you think he did? >> i think -- well, he had a lot to say. he can't complain he didn't get his ups tonight. his positions are out of the mainstream for a lot of republicans. i am not sure that jon huntsman's

critics say herman cain is not smart enough,h, newt gingrich being accucused of beieing too wealthy. >>what is your take on any o of those three awkwarard moment? >> it was interesting and one of the debates when herman cain was asked if would be a good ceo given thhistory of sexual haharassmement. that really is what this is out. he i is applying to be the ceo of the bigiggestompany in thee world. it is pretty azing to look at all threree. who hahas not had b brain freeze is in tir life? >> for the debates, ey rehearse and they prepare. if you say you are going to get rid of three agencies, you t think it through. apppareny, he e has not. he reminds me of some pretended th brotherers who w would crammed the night before. >> herman cain is starting to look too much like 2 2007 ss carolina. she s saidamericans do not own maps and maybe that is the problem. i agree wit you. there are some ings you d do nott have to know to be president and then tre are. you had d some fighting words for football programs across th country, and even the university of maryland needs to realize what is mo

a new candidate is on the rise. 22% of voters now say that newt gingrich is the likely choice of the nomination. that is within the margin of error. major cuts appear to be on the way at the university of maryland. last night a school commission recommended eliminating eight sports teams. here are the teams on the chopping block. men's cross-country, indoor and outdoor track, swimming and diving men's tennis, women's acrobatics and tumbling, and women's water polo. the cuts would have to save the school millions of dollars. some students, though, are disappointed. >> i have some friends on those teams. that takes a hit on the school pride. >> i know because the economy is heading us hard to have to cut things. >> the commission once those cuts to take effect in july. coming up at noon, -- >> we have to proceed like she is going to run this next term. >> fighting for the future. mark kelly on his wife's difficult road to recovery. and like friday madness started even earlier this year. why some retail employees are not so happy about it. and calling all sports buffs. why an option in

>> newt gingrich, according to newt gingrich, told a freddie mac while he was being paid $25,000 to $30,000 a month, that their business model was insane. nobody at freddie mac ever heard him say this, and at least five people say he never did say it. but this is newt gingrich, and going back to what charles' point was, this is a man who has shown incredible intellectual flexibility. he is somebody who has been on both sides of an awful lot of issues. i think that is what is going to be his undoing. >> here's a question from friday's "wall street journal." "how to politicians who are rife in washington, d.c. as a minimum of modest means the as millionairess?" -- leave as millionaires?" question posed by sarah palin. >> while the rest of the country has been hurting, the washington area has been doing great, and a big part of that is lobbying money. congress is bought and sold legally. that is the problem. if you don't think that these congressmen are bought and sold, you are dreaming. >> taking advantage of inside information that would send somebody on wall street to prison. >> the supreme
