More fell in love with the -- with a former god.
The former Republican congressman.
This generous -- JC watts JC.
On there are a lot of factors at play but I think it's safe to say -- being didn't work.
Well hi.
I didn't I never thought that bashing -- was that this strategy I think.
You know there's a role to question some of the things that the -- might have done -- bang but.
Still -- you've got to consider that Rick Santorum had what 15% of the vote last night -- -- at 33.
Governor Romney -- with 46% of the votes -- you put those two together.
Gingrich wins 48 to 46.
Governor Romney actually Atlanta congress and everybody in the volume donated to -- -- good -- it behind you know you will Bill Clinton.
He was getting a plurality of the votes among all us democratic counterparts so that's not surprising come -- -- It is not surprising but the point -- -- is less.
Governor Romney still has not connecting with I think the base of the party and then that's no secret -- -- that's.
He's not connected with them and in and didn't do it in no way not doing it now when you look at south Carolina's Gingrich.
The influx of votes there was 35%.
More than it was in 2008 last night in Florida.
Yet 12% last Republican voters that showed up at the polls than they did in 2008 so.
I still think -- you've got to connect with the evangelical the conservative the Tea Party the small business folks.
And governor Romney still isn't doing that and that's not a new store.
Don't tell -- so you're good us data and -- wanted to you know the do you have Terry noted Yahoo! who says look I mean.
This is an area where we've been -- gone on Bain Capital than a week strategy.
You get it you're -- adult about this I got a -- a great respect for the speaker to be wrong.
I don't think he -- ever acknowledge the mistake.

I'm not talking about you holding them accountable -- that you probably do a pretty good.
Job on that but I'm just saying you don't see politicians admitting that mistakes you don't -- politicians comparing themselves.

The people sense party ours isn't business all the time they're going to be geniuses and I'm saying or Gingrich is a genius.
I think there could be a time where there are a lot IQ very little EQ and I think that's the part where he's week.
I thought well I know I think I think the speaker you know he had about he got outspent in negative adds probably ten to one.
I think what they put out is donated today at zero knowledge what does that -- one.
I think you need to get back -- what you know this because.
And inhale the speakers got a good record when he was speaker of the house and -- I think when you.
