>>> to presidential politics and things are truly heating up in the gop race, on the eve of the iowa caucuses we're going to speak to republican hopeful rick perry in a moment. first chief white house correspondent chuck todd is in des moines with the latest.
>> good morning, peter. if iowa is a three-way race between mitt romney , rick santorum and ron paul , each face ace key test going into tomorrow's caucuses. can rick santorum , does he have the infrastructure to take advantage of the late momentum and will enough democrats and independents show up to put ron paul over the top ?
>> we pray your hand in protection behind senator santorum .
>> reporter: he's striking a chord with social conservatives .
>> the key of america are strong families and strong faith.
>> reporter: with one day left until the iowa caucuses , republican candidates are blitzing the state, making their closing arguments. mitt romney leading in the latest iowa poll says his conservative credentials can easily stack up against santorums.
>> i'll let people make their own assessment of our respective records.
>> reporter: romney has refrained from criticizing santorum but on sunday he offered this mild criticism.
>> he spent his career in the government in washington, nothing wrong with that but it's a very different background that i have.
>> reporter: santorum makes a case for his own electability.
>> who has the best chance to beat obama, rick santorum , he's rock solid on valuesis issues.
>> reporter: romney is seen as the most electable candidate by a wide margin. on the other hand santorum beats romney handily when it comes to relating to ordinary iowans.
>> i love it, i'm going to get rid of this one and this one.
>> reporter: reminding of santorum 's endorsement in 2008 .
>> he was nice to endorse me last time around.
>> the best chance to stop john mccain , which was what my person was.
>> reporter: michele bachmann , rick perry and newt gingrich , who have all seen their support collapse, are desperately trying to make up ground and ron paul , whose support seems to have stalled is explaining news letters containing racially charged statements sent out in his name in the 1980s and '90s.
>> i was not the editor, i did not review them and that is an error on my part.
>> newt gingrich who of course has seen the fastest rise and fall of any candidate perhaps in presidential campaign history spent yesterday complaining about mitt romney , said he was trying to buy the election and a reporter asked him do you feel swift boated and he said "i feel romney boated."
