Meet The Press -Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich

The tough-talking governor opted out of his own Presidential run and is now a strong supporter of Mitt Romney. Does a win in South Carolina seal the deal for Romney to be the GOP nominee? If he becomes the nominee, what is Romney's game plan for taking on President Obama in the fall? And how does he plan to bring a fractured GOP together around his candidacy?

High stakes in South Carolina, where Republicans there have picked the party’s eventual nominee for the last 32 years. We’ll have complete analysis of the crucial contest and breakdown the results, including what they will mean for the road ahead. Joining us: Host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Joe Scarborough, Republican strategist Mike Murphy, the BBC’s Katty Kay, and NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd

ABC This Week- Just hours after the dust settles on a close Republican primary contest in South Carolina, George Stephanopoulos goes one-on-one with top-contender Rick Santorum as he vies to derail Mitt Romney from locking up the GOP presidential nomination.

The final vote count shows Santorum edged out Romney in Iowa, and he's now taking on the presumptive front-runner with a scathing ad blitz, while launching fresh attacks on Newt Gingrich's suitability for office.

As Texas Gov. Rick Perry leaves the race and Newt Gingrich rides a late surge, can Santorum gain ground in the first Southern primary? And can he still find a path to the GOP nomination?

Plus, our powerhouse roundtable with ABC's George Will political strategist and ABC News analyst Matthew Dowd, National Journal's Ron Brownstein, and The Nation's Katrina vanden Heuvel debate the quickly-changing primary landscape, and whether the race for the nomination is just beginning.

And as President Obama prepares for his State of the Union address next week, which GOP candidate can convince voters he's best suited to take on the president in the general election?
