It’s fight night in Tampa! Gallup reports that in one week, Newt Gingrich has closed the gap on Mitt Romney’s 23-percentage-point lead in the Sunshine State. Now the two are neck in neck, with Romney at 29 percent and Newt at 28 percent. Tonight’s NBC Debate, moderated by Brian Williams, will be a nail-biter. Who will win the Florida Primary? The race is on. NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd and Huffington Post Editorial Director Howard Fineman join Chris on set at the debate site in Tampa tonight.
Next up: The base is revolting. Newt is wielding fiery attacks on President Obama, Mitt Romney, the media, debate moderators... the list goes on. Is it helping him? We’re asking Bill McCollum, Former Florida Attorney General and Gingrich Campaign Florida Chairman, and Romney supporter Rep. John Mica (R-FL). Plus, NBC’s David Gregory moderated the debate preceding the New Hampshire Primary, and tonight he joins us to talk about Newt’s debating style.
Then: On the eve of the State of the Union address, we’ll focus on President Obama—and we’ll debunk five myths surrounding him. MSNBC’s David Corn and Politico’s Joe Williams are here to discuss.
And don’t miss The Hardball Interview with Scott Helman and Michael Kranish of The Boston Globe, who authored the hot new book “The Real Romney.” It’s a tell-all and they’re here to do just that.

If the voters of Florida are smart, and I'm not sure if they are, They should see the differences between the leadership of President Obama and these "clown (R) " candidates is blatant! None of these current Repub candidates should be elected president of the dog pound! If you folks down ther want to put your Medicare, Social Security,or your Grand kids futures in jeopardy, just vote (R) and cut your own throat! Oh and your Grand kids will be living with you in cardboard boxes and eating out of the dumpster behind the local elite restaurant!!!
The Republican candidates have all said they want to return to the policies of Bush/Cheney. Policies we know almost ruined us. The few policies that Obama has been able to get past the Republicans in the Congress have been extraordinarily successful. What we need is to re-elect Obama and elect more Democrats to Congress so Obama wont have obstructionists killing his policies. More importantly if another Republican gets into the Presidential office and appoints more Supreme Court Justices how many more decisions will we have like Citizens United? Think about it. Three of the conservative Justices are already in the corporations pockets and making these horrible decisions and they don't care that everyone knows that they are openly corrupt. Additionally the Republicans in Congress are openly protecting that corporate corruption by the justices, so how much more of this kind of behavior can our country stand before complete economic and legal collapse?
We've had 30 years of Republican/conservative policies and our middle class has disappeared along with our jobs and our businesses/manufacturing plants as well as the destruction of our education system and infrastructure. It doesn't take a genius to realize it's time to move the pendulum in the opposite direction because relying on one party for too long has led this country too far off track.
