At every opportunity to win that state lost in a very close race.
Same things starting to happen out Ohio is starting to go backwards.
And once again this all comes down a lot of money a lot of organization that Romney has and they don't have meaning team Gingrich and others I was taken by George -- thing that Republicans and his judgment should be focusing on the senate.
And the house.
And not weren't so much about the White House he apparently doesn't have much.
Our confidence in these candidates what's your react well 11 of them could emerge I assume at this point is probably -- we'll know more after Tuesday.
We can give this thing -- at this point in time and it's -- were big enough party that we ought to be able to focus on hold in the House of Representatives in and winning three or four senate seats it's tougher now on the mrs.
snow decided not to run for reelection.
This is the strangest thing I've ever seen.
Here is Romney doing well.
His rhetoric his positions.
All they comport to.
-- -- to the conservative side of the Republican Party.
I mean him right come -- And yet there is a resistance to him emanating from a number of quarters and I'm not hard -- simply be his rivals for the nomination.
That this is a strange.
There's there's this somehow just not a believability and I think the unfortunate thing for.
Governor Romney -- -- never made the transition he should have argued -- my father was a moderate my mother was a moderate.
When I ran in Massachusetts I was a moderate.
I saw those Liberal Democrats in Massachusetts in -- -- over time I became more and more conservative.
As I saw them ways to spend money.
That they just -- great narrative -- -- that he needs to make a narrative.
And the problem is to say have always been a conservative people go back and prove that you -- -- want to -- Ronald Reagan was for FDR.
By the end of his career he was easy going to be -- -- service.
People are willing to make changes if you articulate why and when.
You know.
President Obama are calling Georgetown.
Law student two talk weather today.
After -- Rush Limbaugh and some rather unkind things to say about her.
After she testified in front of -- mark democratic hearing.
Held -- by Nancy Pelosi what she was saying she needed some help paying for contraception.
Birth control.

Will President Obama now give back the one million dollar donation that Bill -- just gave his super pac.
We want to get some tapes of some of the things that Bill Maher has called Sarah Palin.
The C word -- over and over again.
Bill Maher and some -- his comments about -- -- make me look like romper room choir boy.
So -- Obama be giving back.
Bill -- -- money.
Obviously that are in response to our his the language that he used in describing the -- -- He makes an interest in -- -- -- I'm a big fan aggression have been for many many years he certainly not a romper room kids.
I just think it's more appropriate if -- tone down our -- relative to women right now.
This is a debate that we shouldn't be in and I think at the end of the day it's not -- the American public is they want about jobs the economy.
The more we basically insult women whether it's -- -- sort of a spiritual leader of our party.
Or others I think the -- I don't know -- -- applications statements all women he insulted one -- it will.
And I and I think that it's really dangerous word frankly I mean for -- for anyone -- -- and expand to.
-- and entire gender.
And insult against one woman which you can.
It was strong and and that's our -- all I'm saying is right now we're we're fighting for that vote and there's a lot of insensitivity that Republicans are being portrayed as -- and why does your right insensitive.
When a guy and I and I think Russia's -- and exactly correct point here.
-- you why is -- very reaction to the language of a Bill Maher who is also an entertainer.
Just like Rush Limbaugh.
Who is focused on -- -- sit on the politics they should be easy easy -- he's he's not a very good comedian and I think at the end of the day.
He's gotten tight doesn't make Maryland the monitor Russian -- is no lawyers talent I just think at this point in time.
We need to be focused on how we get women voters how we attract women voters in the fall you know every little thing here purchase and I and he certainly -- at liberty to that.
But I think it's it is it's just it's just not -- force I think -- that that phrase is not an appropriate trees aren't.
-- rocks on the record right.
