Personal story segment tonight congress Ron Paul recently told Megyn -- is being ignored by the media.

Since this Kelly is part of the media that was a pretty -- statements when we heard it -- we immediately invited Ron Paul on a factor we don't want anybody be ignored.

So far He has not accepted.

Our very kind invitation.

Gallup released poll today that's very good news for governor Rick Perry He -- Republican field 29% among those Americans like me to vote Republican.

The running second seventeen mr.

-- third thirteen Michelle Bachman was lost some steam she is now at 10%.

-- -- analyze it very very.

Error of Dick Morris and it comes tomorrow sorry let's take this -- first.

It's not surprised that there Rick Perry would break on top in Rasmussen poll because He hasn't been dead a day haven't seen a minute and a debate -- He hasn't done any interviews at all not.

Zero.

It but it looks like that's pretty darn smart thing because he's now you know -- this commanding lead in -- Rasmussen poll.

Well it's not commanding it's it's a -- what is it -- it's not a question of the stats it's it's just that.

It's the very beginning it's just his CBS it's even managed to the -- -- Rick Perry it's not the substance yet it's a big give -- is due to break on top.

That quickly.

That's pretty impressive when you say well yeah I'm you have Rasmussen and Gallup both saying -- which is impressive.

And I think we have a ways to go one that no absolutely right no doubt about a -- the problem Rick Perry hats.

Is that he's gotta win Iowa against -- Which is -- -- water.

Or New Hampshire against Romney which is a tall order -- can win New Hampshire or.

Just win south Carolina at which point you can -- -- becomes get -- -- as a regional candidate.

-- I don't know about that because look Iowa's a small conservative.

Caucus right you would agree everyone understands that.

New Hampshire is a very very small state.

And so South Carolina so I say it Perry wins one of those street then you still have what you have now a three person race -- we going to agree that it's a three person race right now.

Well yes but also not permanently first -- -- may have Palin and you may have Christie and.

And secondly you cannot entirely -- out.

I'm keen Al Gore I know regularly and you -- up with this stuff you can't you can't you can't count down.

You -- count that -- or Santorum.

Or any of those bottom candidates you what do I look I need to make some money not an unarmed.

Okay there you go to his family can't money where his mouth and know what quoting Hillary and -- hope that the audit each I don't want our outside game.

-- -- -- All right Ron Paul he's whining.

To me again.

Being -- and that we invite him out of the show off.

Really won't face you because He doesn't want to face questioning.

-- the -- runs fine when He gives a speech right but then you probed him and you say are you saying that Iran will not develop the bomb.

And that if they -- and I can use against Israel and if they do it's okay with you.

Then you say the gold standard are you literally saying that the united states of America's economy should only be allowed to grow as much as gold can be extracted from the earth.

And if this no gold discovered our economy has to stay small.

US combat drug lords are you seriously saying that we should not be fighting drugs in the United States but should legalize at all.

-- I would say yes to the league would say yes to all three of them not -- would say yes on the drug a gold standard because that's impossible.

So -- did that down -- -- for the -- than what he's -- but it's not as clear cut is that He just wanted to back up to currency.

Not to Deanna Burnett more currency in less more gold is mind.

And ultimately means a whole economic expansion is hostage.

How much of south African gold mine produces the all right well let's -- women went on the very beginning and we -- had Ron Paul on this program I have said to mr.

Paul's face that some of his positions are insane.

But you can't be an isolated nation the way He wants to -- That bad guys will come and get us -- thus we get them ferocious right we all know this except Ron Paul doesn't.

But there is a strain of people there who love him.

And and that's what shows up in -- thirteen of 40% that don't that He get those people who love him better love Obama because if He ever gets the nomination and Obama with a little more years against.

All -- Perry.

Bar.

I believe that Mitt Romney is much -- This poll is a little deceiving on the Romney front because Romney's strength is not we have third traditional Republican Party -- -- -- America you have to -- Can any of these polls to see how many independents they're putting in the sample.

If it's just Republicans it's one result of -- putting an independent.

Right right and that added that people have to understand when you see appall you gotta to be very skeptical about the poll.

Because a certain constituencies conservative Republicans are not big Mitt Romney supporters.

But what you good over into the independent -- and narrated that is a very very.

Big constituency and remember and He does much better with no democratic primary.

Most of these states permit independents to vote neither yes -- nobody's gonna be absorbed into the democratic primary you know Hillary a moderate Republican primaries so that so those are the polls you have to admit that's our job here to define -- for Robert and wrap -- up.

Defeats.

Obama by ten points in Florida in the most recent poll the Magellan -- And that that is just an astonishing astonishing -- I think it's fair to say right now -- Romney or Perry would defeat Obama.

Bachmann would have a tougher time but could and you don't know back.

Pretty given me Herman Cain and giving him McCain sent and you get I mean I know right now Herman Cain would not at all okay but that's -- Furman we currently McCain this is it just laugh as these -- -- god.

You know what He has to do He has to learn to take his charisma from the stump and bring it into a debate.

And so far He hasn't been do that -- debate performances -- meant to -- on the stump he's fantastic.

Dick -- everybody tech gadget bar stuff.
