Correspondent joining us now for more on the final stretch and the winner take all primary Dick Morris Fox News political -- former Clinton advisor author of the book.

-- the patriots guide on how to defeat Obama and repeal is socialist programs -- good to have you with us.

This looks -- just as clear cut as it can be in these polls is there any likelihood.

That the polls will be wrong and the Gingrich -- fare far better.

There's some possibility of that.

One of the things that the news -- not covering and they need to cover.

Is the size of the television and radio time buys of these two candidates.

Initially.

Gingrich won in South Carolina and part because -- Adelson the Nevada billionaire I gave him five million bucks and he was able to dominate TV in South Carolina and the rumor was he was gonna do it again.

In Florida and as of Thursday.

The money was only just beginning to come through and Gingrich -- we had about 600000 dollars in the first four days -- week.

Romney had about seven or eight million.

But on -- Friday and Saturday and Sunday in tonight.

They're more even and therefore there is some chance.

That Gingrich could close some of this gap so you're -- we're saying is that -- you're saying -- excuse me that that.

The Gingrich then had a already reserved the time and is only to pay for it or did he lose that opportunity.

Now he just went in and bought it.

I don't know if he reserved it -- or not perfect he was able to get a disappoint and -- and Romney are now about 5050 on advertising.

Which they would not all -- -- Gingrich could have a little bit of bounce in his step.

The problem is that what Gingrich is saying -- -- Romney has all been said before.

You know he's a Massachusetts moderate now he's a liberal tomorrow he'll be radical by Wednesday will be a Communist.

But -- it's all been said before abortion Romney care gay rights all -- But the stuff that Romney is saying -- back Gingrich has not been said before the Freddie Mac staff that's pretty new in this primary.

And what he said in the sound bite you played did you notice -- -- -- about -- Flailing around who well that is the key worry that Republicans have about note.

That he'll be a loose cannon and that -- flail around that explode at some point.

In October and that will be stuck with the Obama for four more years.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Our who's you know -- -- and point of fact two previous times in this primary season and his comeback resilient and strong.

Well that's because of this debate performances but his last two we're not much good.

What happened since these guys get stuck over an issue.

Romney lost South Carolina in my view because he wouldn't releases tax returns and it was very vague about when you do any released him in there was nothing there are now it's over.

Gingrich I think is losing at this point in Florida because he's never produced a credible answer on Freddie Mac.

He's never said this is what I did for them and it's okay.

You know -- I did -- dental decay prevention programmers are not wasn't involved in real estate.

And he can't do that he hasn't done it and I think until he does the issue thrusters and it's not that Republicans turn against them because of the negative.

They worry that other people were turned against them and that it can win in November.

Well it's it is a ploy I mean that sounds very effective -- sounds also going to be something it hasn't been said before.

Is something Gingrich is saying today.

About Romney and that is George Soros she reminds everyone.

Has just said.

That he's not worried about whether or not Romney is the nominee and runs against Obama because.

Obama and Romney are basically the same guy.

-- yeah how powerful was not.

Yeah I I think that psoriasis.

Is trying to gain the electorate in influence the outcome.

The reality is is anybody knows that the right Harris is far -- more afraid of Romney than they are Gingrich.

Well or whomever they're afraid of in terms of electoral politics -- like Romney at least for this one state.

The primary election.

-- has chosen the right to direction the right language and has had.

Powerful amount of money to make -- Hurd.

But it's it's more than just this primary Littleton.

He has a range -- For every state that follows up in February to be a Romney state.

He's got Nevada which he carried he's got Maine which is from New England has got.

Coloring got Colorado and Minnesota both of which he carried he's got Michigan where his dad was governor he's got Arizona which carry.

Those of the states in February -- Romney wins tonight.

I mean tomorrow night by even -- a single digit margin pretty decent one.

One after another he's gonna win those primaries and our -- will stay in net.

At least until Super Tuesday but he won't have the money to compete in the Super Tuesday which is where you really need money.

If he doesn't have the money it doesn't make any difference the fact that we have at stake after tomorrow -- delegates are awarded.

That still doesn't even amount to 4% of the total number of delegates needed to win the nomination Dick Morris thanks for money doesn't matter appreciate it very much thank -- -- every.
