While Mitt Romney was the winner and I'll was the real issue do you think people are talking about with the economy.

Associated Press poll saying the economy and the budget deficit where the two top issues.

For voters in Iowa aren't so let's talk about that some more and Neil Cavuto is here with us she was here last night until all -- coming.

About fox business and thank you for getting up first guys what I -- -- -- -- any -- athletic.

The we Brian Wesbury economist on -- right at the top of the show today and I thought it was interesting because everybody's talked about Rick Santorum search and how well it did last night.

But all the talk surrounding him has been always a social conservative now would start to examine his economic policies -- seems to like him because -- as we get us back to 4% growth in these policies would.

Create ten million jobs -- announcement that we're gonna start -- look closer at santorum's economic policy.

And you got this goes in the history -- those who rise.

And then it quickly beaten down and out -- is timing was perfect I mean it is going to be -- -- -- moment.

You wanna have that time to peak right on the -- with the election.

Body said that -- we know the history of once you surged on the -- start.

And there's a -- attack on him I mean none of the social conservatives is not withstanding.

There are issues of -- with his views are on on foreign policy and economic policy.

That are ripe for the picking -- -- and you know this is this something happens it.

In campaigns -- -- that Romney.

By winning even by just a few votes can can claim that the state that was supposedly going to be an anathema to him.

Was not so I think that the take away from this well you you do credit.

A senator -- with this incredible win a guy who look like a joke little more than a week ago.

Mitt Romney is the -- How much -- -- and I wanna sound shallow but how I live -- debt.

I stay in the -- into the we'll just focus on -- drowning care.

But if -- -- -- that it happens challenges as well yeah but I don't know that it would happen and -- better -- and you are.

Do you really get you much -- -- from running on.

Real specifics.

In terms here economic policy -- we have Mitt Romney's plan -- Gingrich you put Gingrich's plan up against his and he got art -- -- endorsement.

Com last week but do you really get anything and because his policies look better than Mitt Romney's do and it didn't get him a victory in Iowa.

Well I mean I -- could quibble with that I I will say that's -- -- going quote alcoholic.

No I I do think that down you can get a little into the weeds with this stuff as -- you know this guy -- 59 points -- other guys 37 points another guy has.

Heinz 57 and -- those ingredients -- and I think you can get a little lost in the stuff I think.

If -- Mitt Romney -- And you were wary dead.

You know Ron Paul would would storm and I would take Iowa or Santorum would win it outright by big margin.

You've got a light this I know there's an argument that says this indicates especially with proportional voting now that this contest drags on for quite some time.

That might or might not be -- case I do think though that.

Romney won in the state he was not expected little -- a few weeks ago to even placed third.

Eight you know we could be a divide and conquer strategy that a lot of conservatives are currencies that are you guys were touching on Michelle Bachmann.

Announcement where does that vote go to two -- 3% if Rick Perry.

-- you know is indicating it's on to South Carolina -- sending mixed messages but let's say he ultimately goes witnesses three of 4% so even if it all goes Santorum.

I mean it would it would be a tough.

-- to be someone is well positioned you know guys you can never.

Overstate the importance of money in the race.

Mitt Romney has it in spades.

And you looks good now I'm doing what it actually matter is we need some of talk about what it's us the financial networks national news networks and do a 24/7.

But never gonna speculate it anyway so you're saying if we're on here it's -- 3 in the morning -- thereabouts that we just -- time -- I was -- no I don't know.

I was actually gonna say that you know we're looking at all these -- who's gonna win in Rochester right there may be Romney's gonna wrap this thing up pretty quickly -- you know this whatever everyone is saying they're wrong.

Don't you think about it the second best in whatever the consensus as you but I don't think about it -- what is the consensus here -- -- -- -- -- so.

We've gone through this last night as the candidates were making his speeches.

There's a time when the sell button was the first.

-- to take and -- fall.

Robert Perry came in peaks falls.

Robert Perry came in peak.

Ron -- -- peak -- another they all had their term -- Huntsman.

Well it's a -- was always an double digits in new Hampshire -- things -- change in and of some people out there assignment he could surprise some folks and I'm not Smirnov dissect.

But I do know that.

You know the media gets fixated and sort of the news with less of the flavor of the moment and and -- there could be something to a Mitt Romney.

Who just keeps you know capture and announce in and out China.

And eventually you know people forget little history I can remember when you know a Bill Clinton was running for the democratic nomination -- united do.

And they were local seven dwarfs and then not even had a chance against was seen it.

Well eventually after all they're fighting and it was a lot more vicious and the fighting were saying among Republicans today.

Bill Clinton got that a combination.

And everyone feared we get we gotta stop this Bill Clinton guy disease surely gonna lose to bush -- bush was beginning to drop in the polls.

May be strongest can do it maybe -- Jerry Brown -- risky conduct.

Anyone to Bill Clinton.

And and then of course we know what happened to one so so I think that's a long winded way -- saying it's it's so -- but I think -- has yet to see.

Someone to rail.

Romney.

Percent looks pretty damn good.

Well it's consistent and it's consistent -- and give it to saint -- -- absolutely.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Jennifer I think about heads of equities being around Imus is done that I can tell us what to -- Catholics do whatever it except that -- -- gonna go into the I -- about it Nextel -- overtime and that man I was asking -- he's an -- McDonald's stop listening pictures of your kids to see.

But what I -- had a -- live -- shut up I do on a daily basis and you know the -- this affected your very much for stopping by deal you know it was -- a hundred we've had to cancel and.
