-- still deciding at this hour but it seems of the Democratic National Committee has already decided.
It is -- Today put it got to stated even before a single boat close Mitt Romney's that spending advantage gives him an edge.
But as blatant hypocrisy and extreme out of touch positions will be his general election Kryptonite former presidential Republican -- Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann hasn't decided it's Mitt just yet he has an -- anyway just yet congress aren't still got to keep their cards close of us -- Well -- actually Neil what I'm more concerned about that anything is making sure that Barack Obama does have just one term as president.
And so what I want to do is use my voice not necessarily to pick.
A winner but action to unify our party we need to come together.
All of the factions whether it's evangelical Tea Party your establishment.
But we need to widen the net to include independents and disaffected Democrats that's what I -- to do I wanna be a unifying voice pull people together because under no circumstances can Barack Obama have a second term.
No way.
So you would support congresswoman Eddie of the of the four candidates remaining in the -- should I become the happily.
Okay happily sell -- -- -- women and those unconcerned and those who say that it.
Governor Romney has the best chance of beating the president -- Buena.
Well that the polls are indicating that and I think that after this -- the -- polls close on all of these ten contest tonight -- I think that will see far more clarity than we've seen before and one thing that I seen.
In talking to people -- on the country.
They're at a point now with they're getting a little wary of the process they'd like to see -- come together and decide on the nominee.
It -- at a certain point it gets a little tiresome where every day it's who's the president today.
As -- people really want to have a set get our nominee because they want to focus.
On that and now on Obama rather than on our candidate.
You know congress and I I put your remarks earlier to this whole -- Limbaugh dust up on his comments with the ones that he's apologized more.
We wanna read -- -- stuff but you brought up up when I'd simply forgotten his double standard notion and the grief that you encountered.
Some -- fairly vitriolic and I thought actually childless.
Characterizing you personally your race.
I mean what -- chances you had.
But there is a double standard that was your point right.
There's always a double standard I think you would and what is even more shocking is the lack of outraged.
On the part of people who consider themselves mainstream.
And the media they're also happy to jump -- -- -- Rush Limbaugh and he -- not he apologized for what he said.
But it's absolute silence on something happens to a conservative.
And my point has been whether you're liberal or whether you're conservative -- or whether you're an independent as that as a theme -- anyone else.
The double standard is so obvious it's almost all pat at this point.
But that's I think that this is sustained fake outrage on the part of the -- that -- face -- they see an opening to help President Obama.
And so they're trying to -- find the Republicans as being whether it's anti poor people are anti women and we need to stand up.
And take the left -- -- in just call them out on this because it's the Republicans that -- have the best answer right now I'm dealing.
With whether it's economic opportunity or opportunities for women.
That's coming out of the conservatives and so we shouldn't be a shame we need to stand up and make our case because we've got a good story to tell.
All right Michelle Bachmann would you make a decision senator Reid has supported weight to the conventional -- You don't know I'm night I think at when -- looks like we're getting a bit closer but if I filled up my voice can be one that will help for unity at a certain point I will.
And so I may be coming out with an endorsement but certainly -- before the polls close tonight.
Alright -- stop by here first to do -- if you don't mind congresswoman and to skip over an -- you know -- Jessica backwards it's -- Vanity -- of course you're right they've already -- Michelle -- always good having you thank you very much Michelle -- think you yeah.
