we called oklahoma for rick santorum. that is a big win for rick santorum. he spent time in that state. at one time newt gingrich was competing in oklahoma, a lot of social conservatives there. what about oklahoma? >> well, i think oklahoma is big roar rick santorum because it allows him to continue to make the argument that he is the conservative alternative to mitt romney. we don't know yet how the delegate breakdown will break out because of complicated delegate rules there because it's clear he dual well there and come away with the number of delegates. he looks like he will come away with a number of delegates in tennessee, ohio, some of these other places as well. rick santorum's goal tonight is to be able to continue to make the argument that he and not newt gingrich is the conservative alternative to mitt romney. >> megyn: we heard earlier some speck, brit, about the win for mitt romney and virginia. ron paul did rather well there and some were suggesting that could be an endorsement of ron paul maybe proving some momentum for ron paul. there is anot

we cannot count out rick santorum. he did particularly well in ohio managing to stay competitive there as well as winning tennessee, oklahoma and north dakota. here's what both men had to say after the votes had been counted. >> on november 6th, we are going to stand united not only having won an election but having save add future. >> this was a big night tonight. lots of states. we are going to win a few, we are going to lose a few, but as it looks right now we are going to get at least a couple of gold medals and a whole tassel full of silver metals. >> newt gingrich took georgia. that ended up paying off for him. it will win a lot of delegates. he has a strong showing in the south but he face as bit of an uphill battle. then there is ron paul. he was hoping to bupull off one victory. he came in second in a number of states. he says he still managed to get his message out there. it is a resounding one. nobody managed to stake the claim on the nomination yet. more than 1,000 delegates are needed to do that. we will c

win for rick santorum. we cannot call second or third in the state of alabama. let's check in now with carl cameron in alabama. good evening, carl, interesting things from speaker gingrich in our interview. you talked to him earlier. >> yeah. we have an opportunity to head up stairs to the suite while he's watching return was wife and staffers. and very, very calm, selected and. lots of laughing and phone calls going on. he was talking to his supporters around the country. we talked with him. he clearly said during the results before the races were call that had no matter outcome he intended to go to tampa. we talked about his firm belief there is no way romney can win a majority based on gingrich's estimation of the math. it boils down to gingrich camp assertion romney may one a plurality but there is no way he can win a majority. he'd gotten personal on a number of occasions nchl presidential campaigns candidates like to talk about policy differences and misrepresentations of the truth or inability to be

rick santorum had been maintaining a slight lead. now we're seeing what karl rove had been predicting earlier. suburban communities came and the tally would tip in mitt romney's favor. we're seeing that. officially the race remains too close to call. >> continuing to watch ohio and the vote there, iran is a hot topic this week. three republican candidates weighing in on possibility of a nuclear war as well as president ob yauma, today. >> only thing respected by thugs and tyrants is our resolve. backed by our power, and our readiness to use it. >> red line is not the morning when our intelligence community tells us they've failed again. the red line is now. >> they to not tear down those facilities. we will tear down them our self autos if some folks think that it's time to launch a war they should say so and explain to the american people why they would be doing that and what consequences would be. >> john bolton is a fox news contributor. thank you for being here, we're bringing you in and are going to keep up ohio numbers. the rac

rick santorum doing well last night. we will be right back. >> it is 14 minutes after the top of the hour. here's what happened while you were sleeping. mahmoud ahmadinejad had an unprecedented grilling. he misused government resources and his withdrawal of fuel and fuel subsidies resulted in out of control inflation rates. this is the first time in iranian history that a president has ever been summoned like this. >>> a miss chase in los angeles came to a wild finish at 2:00 a.m. eastern. rammed into the back forcing it to stop and arresting a man and a woman. guess what they found inside? an infant in a baby seat. the child's condition not known. the driver initially expected of drunk driving before taking off. >> 15 minutes after the hour. we take a look at the good, the bad and the ugly. first let's start with the good. a would be robber at a burger king in florida finding out the hard way he couldn't have it his way. you see the man dive right through the drive through window attempting to steal cash from the regist

they would rather face rick santorum. so they came in large numbers and voted for rick. you know, i think that was a huge mistake on his part. republics saw right through that. and saw that if barack obama wants rick santorum to run against him we are not going to give him rick santorum to run against. >> you basically think it was political trick play and democrats did -- you got 18% and santorum got something like 58% of the democratic vote which was 9% of the total, which is significant. which is significant. you will remember that last time around the republic side did the same thing to barack obama. it was interesting. all right. so you think it was just that democrats don't want to run against you. they would rather have rick santorum as the nominee. that's what you say? >> that's what someone like michael moore said on the air and a number of democrats. i saw a piece on the news where they interviewed people who had voted as democrats. they said, yeah, we are trying to give this to rick santorum because we want to stop mitt romney. of course, there have also been

republican hopefuls mitt romney and rick santorum are locked in a vigorous debate. romney is attacking santorum who is an economic light weight who doesn't care about the unemployment rate. >> one of the people who is running also from the republican nomination today says he doesn't care about the unemployment rate. that doesn't bother him. i do care about the unemployment rate. it does bother me. i want to get people back to work. i am concerned about those who are out of work. one of the reasons i am running to get my expertise back in place so we can get people working again. >> of course i do. i am saying i can't determine whether the -- our candidacy is not whether the unemployment rate goes back aup and down. republicans don't believe presidents fix the economy we do things to try to help the economy fix itself. >> romney is doing well in illinois. romney has a comfortable lead with the delegate count. today is the day for gop leaders in illinois. >>> now is a time for a look at who is talking this morning. >>> and this morning it is first lady michelle obama

mitt romney has a solid lead over rick santorum. the decision desk is saying the race is too close to call. far behind newt gingrich and ron paul they are battling it out for third place. obviously a win tonight would be a major victory for romney in this delegate rich state. 54 did he goes here. they are decided by congressional districts. if there is 18 congressional districts here. the real question is how it will break down. looks at this point, bill, according to exit polls that mitt romney is going to have a good night it is 18 individual races. and when you get to the downstate, that's where you see some strength for rick santorum. so, the 54 delegates on the line will be able to break down at the end but even right now on the top line number, the percentage we can't make a call because it's too close to call according to the raw vote and exit poll data that our decision desk is looking like. >> bill: go to carl cammeron headquarters in illinois. i understand the governor thinks he has won in illinois. is that correct, carl?

i am looking at rick santorum. i think mitt romney has a good chance to win the presidency. >> i am so not sure who i am going to vote for but i am going to keep my options open at this time. >> you see everyone will be watching of course ohio. no republican nominee has ever become president without winning the buckeye state. it is tuesday and we will know just how super it is for each of the candidates, particularly tonight. you can get all of the results here in our special coverage tonight on fox news beginning at 6:00 a.m. >> 67 percent of the delegates are still on the table after super tuesday. we have a long way to go. now it's time to look who's talking. this morning it is mr. brit hume. we heard kelly wright breakdown the candidates but can any of the candidates secure a win here? this is what britt had to say. >> it is a long journey to win the delegates. if you win a state you don't win all of the delegates. you win whatever proportion your segment of the vote is roughly speaking. which means in states w

rick santorum joins us now campaigning for vote on saturday. let's talk some tactics here. 10 states on tuesday. washington state as i mentioned on saturday. the money factor becomes news now to buy tv time in all those places, right? >> it's absolutely true. we have been very, very successful. this month, last month of february we raised $9 million. here is the key, bill, two thirds of those donors came from small dollar donations. compared to 9% of governor romneys come for from small dollar donors. 130,000 donors. we got a grass roots effort out here that, you know, trying to combat the inside crowd, the folks that -- the good old boys funding romney's campaign. we have got grass roots america funding our campaign. >> bill: how do you evaluate barack obama's religion or specialty? i mean, if he is your opponent, are you going to go after obama on the religious issue? do you think is he a christian? do you think he values people of faith? what do you think on that area? >> his personal faith is none of my concern. what is my concern is the va

the more he has to fend off rick santorum, the more delegates santorum collection on the conservative side. the more states he wins on the conservative side. is he going to have to figure out what does he have to give rick santorum. what does he want coming in the convention. santorum has agreed himself a major role at the states he has won so far that puts him in a situation not unlike what michael duque cuss faced in 1998 when he had to figure out how to handle jesse jackson. >> bill: why is that a problem for romney. he asked santorum what would you like to do? would you like to be secretary of state. >> santorum wants to be on 00 ticket. >> bill: as a v.p. >> that's not going to happen. there might be pressure if santorum continues to build up delegates to do that that could be a problem for romney in the general election. >> bill: romney needs to go with somebody -- i shouldn't say it's not going to happen. not likely because i think that rubio is the guy they all want in florida. now, let me talk to you a little bit about abc news coverage of this rush limbaugh fluke situation.

>> yes. >> so you have got newt gingrich and ron paul and rick santorum. ron paul has nothing else to do so why would he drop out. >> ron paul could make a case that what he is saying is vastly different than everyone else. >> bill: he said it 55 times. how many more times do we have to hear it? okay. >> it doesn't hurt to say the truth. >> bill: he wants to legalize everything. he wants to have gold or whatever he wants. how many more times do we have to hear that, beck? we got it. >> i think when it comes to the fed and the financial system, i think you can't say it enough. >> bill: you can't say it enough, okay. you have seen the ratings for the debates lately? i think you can say it enough. you are going down. >> is there anything else we are going to learn here from these guys? >> bill: that's my next question. we have learned everything. we know where they're. and you say to rick santorum and newt gingrich and ron paul, listen, guys, you know, for the good of the nation, you ought to be a patriot. and you ought to step aside and let governor romney -

that gives him a 300 delegate lead over rick santorum. newt gingrich in third place with 135 and ron paul in 4th with 50. >>> even though mitt romney scored a decisive win rick santorum doesn't sound like he is going anywhere. peter doocy is live with us with more. >> governor romney is solidly in first place before last night's results were announced. even though he is still not even halfway to the 1,144 he needs after the nomination amp the results came down late last night romney's sxant an e-mail out to all of the supporters said he is that much closer now to securing the nomination and uniting the party the governor is already looking forward to a head to head match up highlighting his private sector experience outside of the chicago suburb. >> too often today americans who want to start a business or launch a new venture they don't see promise and opportunity. they de government standing in the way. i am going to change that. we are going to get government out of the way. >> senator santorum finished a distant second. his rally was

rick santorum said their right to not reproduce or whatever is under assault. it seems to me that's a giant leap for mankind as space astronaut once said. am i wrong? >> in 2008. >> bill: yes. >> bush decided to cut funding for poor african women for birth control. >> bill: is that title 10? >> in africa. >> bill: oh in africa. because he cut spending for africa? >> in africa. africa, as a result, had more abortions and more deaths. what angelica houston and rosie o'donnell are trying to say is that what is going to happen in this country? are we going to enter the dark ages? >> bill: i didn't know after from infantry can a was involved. >> they could mess with birth control with other women are we going to mess with birth control in our own country. >> bill: not messing with anything. i think there is a giant leap these ladies are taking. as far as strategy is concerned, i think it's pretty smart for the obama administration to target women votes, all right? this is one way to them them. scare them. then because clearly, clearly rosie o'donnell and angelica ho

rick santorum has the early advantage in alabama. very early as you see here. according to exit poll data and the earlily raw votes coming. in he does have a slight lead. it's very tight though. and it could be quite some time before we're close to declaring a winner in alabama. early word from mississippi has mitt romney enjoying a slight lead there polls closed about a half an hour ago. romney is trying to solidify his frontrunner status and add to his lead in the delegate count. again, it's very tight in mississippi. newt gingrich has said he needs to finish very well in both southern states to go along with last week's victory in georgia. so what would a possible second or third place mean in either state. we'll ask the former house speaker during our coverage later this 11:00. fox news is projecting ron paul to finish a distant fourth in both states. get an update from senior national correspondent john roberts in lafayette, louisiana where rick santorum is holding a rally. good evening, john. >> good evening, bret, for the last week santorum supporters no
