The Fox News political analyst Juan Williams he has to join us by phone today but he is in New Hampshire for the big primary that comes up tomorrow -- welcome to the program to see where this.
Morning -- I got my Bryant right here party.
-- Not a native born I'm afraid one can't do much that.
We're trying to change the law where you bring McCain as the president Stuart.
It's not the -- the constitution and a much different character.
Okay okay Eric Eric Eric.
Now that it looks to me like Mitt Romney is really pulling ahead he's just broken above 30% support on a nationwide Gallup poll.
I have my question is is this the candidates that the Democrats want does President Obama wants.
Mitt Romney asked his -- Well let's look at it -- In terms of the polling clearly Mitt Romney right now poses the biggest threat to Barack Obama in head to -- in some cases it's -- but he does beat Obama.
That within the margin -- no other Republican.
Is in that territory on any consistent basis maybe water to have broken through a different points.
But none matches what Britain Romney can do so from that perspective he would be the -- -- Republican and I think that in fact is something he's been advertising heavily.
What what you make of a Romney Christie tickets.
Bearing in mind that Governor Christie is in New Hampshire and he's very forcibly dealing with -- and taking on everybody in favor of of Mitt Romney.
What do you make of that kind of ticket if it -- to happen.
Well it's not -- -- that people who were at the conservative Tea Party wing of the Republican Party they're both basically northeastern moderate to liberal Republican.
I think that what the Tea Party people like about Chris Christie is he is so voluble and he is.
Blunt Andy home they're taking our people would say tough stuff he isn't great.
Great politician and people like him.
So that might help but I think what they really want is somebody who would be.
More conservative and I think ideally -- -- looking for a woman and maybe even some minority and of course.
You -- this all -- -- you're looking at some would -- Nikki Haley from South Carolina Susanna Martinez from New Mexico.
And of course via number one can accuse -- Mayo Marco Rubio of Florida.
You know I was looking at some of the debates from back in 2008.
On the Democrat side and I sort John Edwards Paul -- Dennis Kucinich -- -- Bill Richardson Paul -- off.
I'm kind of comparing the candidates who would debating then four years ago with a Republican candidates who are debating now.
Looks familiar like the Republicans have a bad bank -- much better team than the Democrat did back then.
What -- said about Juan Williams.
Well I don't agree -- I mean clearly.
You know obviously Bill Richardson with the governor he'd been -- am.
Yeah area have some scandal attached to his name is Dennis Kucinich is way out that on the left and -- -- was what we know all about -- Well -- at that time we didn't know about Karen and I don't know how you feel about Ron Paul but lots of people would say -- -- -- unusual candidate.
And so I mean you know the problem here on the Republican side this -- Stewart.
Has been that Republicans.
The rank and file have stated very clearly that they don't think much of the -- and I think it one other reasons that we're just being.
Romney break above that 25% which is good news spur him to get towards thirty and and national polls.
If it people are saying I am announce that we on the inevitability.
Of a Romney nomination because he's gonna have won Iowa and New Hampshire.
Yep I think he's got it sewn up and that's just my personal opinion.
-- -- I don't know about that let's say they want -- I'm sure we're gonna missing a lot of view of that stuff okay.
Now ecstatic about the plan that would improve we have a one thing that I -- I I don't know I think I didn't mean.
-- good stuff thanks very much -- -- beta.
