Video: How will Iowa results change GOP race?



>>> nbc's david gregory , moderator of "meet the press" is in des moines and chief white house correspondent chuck todd already on the ground in new hampshire . that prime summary next tuesday. good morning to you.

>> good morning.

>> good morning, matt.

>> david, governor romney seems pleased but it does shine the spotlight on the achilles heel for romney , the conservatives are not comfortable with his stance on core conservative issues. how big a problem is it?

>> savannah said it, the voters who count are not ready to anoint a front-runner just yet, and that's where we are. you can look at the national polls and say yeah, mitt romney the front-runner, but he's fragile at that. rick rick santorum 's pitch here in iowa , vote with your heart, not your head. if you take the combined number of santorum and paul that's what you have. the economy was the issue in iowa , yet 40% of the supporters voted for him with reservation so you have an alternative to romney that's emerged in this race, that said, romney did edge out a victory here. if he wins in new hampshire , matt, no republican's ever done so there's a march toward northwestability that's still possible.

>> chuck, that leads me to you. rick santorum comes to that state with momentum. can he overcome boots on the ground ?

>> in a short one-week time it could because santorum has two new unlikely allies, one is newt gingrich who we saw promised to basically spend the entire week attacking mitt romney and then there's jon huntsman who basically moved to new hampshire . this is it for him, do or die. you have huntsman hitting romney on the left, newt gingrich hitting romney on the right, so it gives an opening to santorum , and we've seen before parts of western pennsylvania and parts of new hampshire are very similar, this could actually be a fairly comfortable place for him and santorum loves to say as everybody wants to mock the fact he'd been in iowa so much, he spent the second most amount of time in new hampshire more than mitt romney , matt.

>> david, let me go back to you. rick perry 's gone back to texas, he says to reassess his campaign. michele bachmann while finishing last says she's still in the race. are they for all intents and purposes done?

>> how is michele bachmann going to raise the money and rick perry , if he goes forward, he just simply never got off the mark.

>> ron paul , the impact you see in the race in the primaries to come?

>> he's not going to get out of this race, that's basically the impact but it's hard to imagine he did better than he did last night. the libertarian wing of the party is smaller than what he got, and there's no other states really that he can go to where you can get the same-day voter registration , get democrats to show up and all those things, so i think you're going to start seeing paul slowly fade as these primaries march on.

>> chuck todd and david gregory , guy, thank you as always.
