Could -- radio host mark Simone is Syria all right mark not Romney now I'm saying Mitt Romney is the clear off from -- I think I'm gonna go further and that and insightful Aruba.

He is the -- warm yet what do you think I love.

Mitt Romney I group in Michigan where George Romney was our governor that he was on his way to be president very similar situations personality Condit -- -- -- So if you're from that part of the country that's unfinished business having -- -- in the White House so I'm all for that but.

I think he's got nothing but trouble ahead of blood -- well.

A personal Iowa it's tough question does it mean somebody does it mean nothing it literally means nothing it's a glorified straw poll.

You know all you're doing there -- that you elect delegates.

Who then go elect delegates when they're not -- bound to stick to the original votes so anything could happen here in here's Romney's real problem.

He's always at the 23% to 25%.

What keeps him in the race is the five people that split up the other vote as soon as two of them go away three of them go -- What I'm to be able to pile up enough votes to get ahead of 23% Romney's got real trouble with -- out of the race Bachmann out of the race.

You did you don't think he is regarded as them that the candidate who is most electable.

And the Republicans ultimately will go for the most electable the man most likely to win.

Yes by the people who manage all of this view of -- have -- the establishment who is the most electable the voters is total I'd like who I relate to -- connect to.

-- he's got a dazzling resonate.

Do you really connect him personally couldn't get it if that's the case Santorum can take -- Now the vehicle is not the guy who we -- go so there's -- -- Santorum could win these are -- I've sounds -- impressed knew what he said.

But he just yet that middle management could -- the female vote last night that's for sure but when he was a Pennsauken.

I.

-- he was -- chicken dance yeah women Davies I work.

The -- on television I can relate to him you know you look you guys could do neighbor you could borrow the lawnmower from.

You -- -- Romney said well -- been hired illegal alien I don't even know who cuts my grass well I don't relate to that not even know who.

Richard Russo you contests the view that Mitt Romney has it so -- you think he does not don't -- us a lot of trouble -- a cable goes through the rest of them.

Newt Gingrich.

Tough to elect Newt Gingrich especially of so he wipes -- -- -- negative ads that got those people go to Santorum now Santorum gets above potential has no organization anyplace else in the country -- got no money he cannot really mountains a sustainable campaign.

So I don't think you can win.

And that leaves you with.

But that left Perry's got competitors hut Rami should do which is get Ron Paul in the second place he should quietly driven can't get Ron Paul appear because in the end it can be Ron Paul.

Clinton did that -- was up against Paul Tsongas.

We knew -- couldn't be -- he major Jerry Brown became.

Secondly if you disagree with me you don't think that -- -- has got it sewn up now who do you think is going to be the Republican candidates.

I -- in the am probably likely to be.

That robbed yet but you don't think it's gonna make.

Could be but he hasn't got its own -- -- remember when you move all these primaries early the penalty is.

You you have to give the delegates up proportionally so nobody's gonna pile up a lot of delegates in the -- Why do you saying it's not electable though we have at least eight more debates left and -- -- -- good debater.

It's he has the forgive me for saying it but -- an American presidential election the -- have to like that -- you must be comfortable with -- -- -- vote isn't comfortable that he has an electable in 1994 look what happened -- Not -- mr.

pulling these things often and -- -- so OK last question.

If -- -- Romney with Chris Christie.

All Romney with Marco Rubio.

You changes to Christie but not rubio love rubio -- got a big future -- You cannot put -- -- guy would no executive experience because and you lose your biggest argument against Obama but to be in Florida guaranteed and you got to win Florida.

I don't know -- wood floor to it's a guy with no executive experience there's gotta be -- Obama.

Get rid of the incompetent guy go with top executives you can fix things he's good isn't it -- mark -- he's good I don't know -- -- -- -- -- good credibility as well and it -- -- -- you have to remember Obama did inherit this bad economy from his first three years in -- have to cut plastic -- that.

Marks about what a pleasure effective -- -- -- --
