Special Guests: S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley
GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: As we noted, we are only about 8 hours and 50 minutes away from the polls opening in South Carolina. And there is only a tiny, tiny, tiny gap between the two front-runners, and the other two candidates could pull off a big surprise tomorrow. That's why this race is so gripping.
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley endorsed Governor Romney and has been hitting the campaign trail for him. Right now, in the latest poll, though, Governor Romney is number two. And she joins us.
Governor Haley, welcome. And before I start talking, I want to wish you Happy Birthday. And it's tough turning 30, but you'll get used to it.
(LAUGHTER)
SOUTH CAROLINA GOV. NIKKI HALEY: Hey, Greta, thank you so much. It's a great night in South Carolina. We're very excited.
VAN SUSTEREN: All right, now, minutes ago, you were with Governor Romney. I know you -- you must be watching the poll numbers. He's been slipping. What's your theory on why he's been slipping? And I know you're going to stand behind him for tomorrow in the race. Why do you think he's going to win? Two questions.
HALEY: You know what? He's not slipping. And I will tell you, we've been all over the state today. We had hundreds of people in the midlands standing in the rain to cheer on Governor Romney. We've got all these people behind us at 9:00 o'clock at night, while it's raining outside. The state is on fire. They saw the debate last night. There was only one jobs president on the stage, and it is showing today across the state. There is energy and electricity like I've never seen....

Not that it matters.
“Haley: South Carolinians don’t care about Romney’s tax returns”
SCarolinians also don’t care for poser fraud politicians using the Tea Party for personal gain and then bolting to support the Establishment.
Reserving money for her challenger in 14.
Haley’s boy just had his head handed to him by Newt, according to the networks.
It's too late baby now it's too late though we really did try and make it....
Some guy.
She better get it together and change her endorsement.
I think Ron Paul may come in second tonight.
Haley, one and done!
nor do they care much about SnippyMcRomneyCare...
WTF is that Whack Job, former Governor and supposed poet Sanford doing on Fox?
Unbelievable!
I read this rumor on twitter a few weeks back that said that Haley was promised by Romney that if he became President that South Carolina would be exempt from the mandate in Obamacare..which makes me wonder, was this the payout that Haley got for supporting Romney? Really sleazy on her part if true, also, if this is proven true it shows that Romney doesn’t plan on repealing Obamacare because if he did he would not be making backroom deals
OTOH, she's now toast.
Go Newt!
I guess Nikki Haley was wrong. In any case, they had to care that Romney looked like a clueless dunce when the question was asked.
Master debater versus clueless dunce.
Let’s see...this is not a hard question.
I’m going with the master debater.
Based on the Primary results, Haley is full of crap, too.
Nikki,
When things get tough in your re-election bid, don’t phone the mamma grizzly....you’re on the crap list.
CNN had his wife on last night to bash Newt.
Disgusting.
Haley has been a great disappointment, I must say. She hems and haws and lies all through this interview, trying to cover for Mitt. Maybe the Tea Party needs to find a replacement for her in the next election.
Hey, Nikki, they don’t care much FOR Romney either.
She was shilling for Mitt in NH (post-debate media spin room).
Good bye Nikki,
I am so ashamed I supported you.
Please just shut-up, serve out your term, and then step off the public stage.
You are worthless as a conservative.
