And torn did not know -- -- tried to make up to of that lack of sort of organization.
Was -- screen is a famed investor of course early Santorum back -- contact would frost or freeze was backing Rick Santorum.
Many people thought that in a pretty much fostered lost his mind.
But turns out that.
Now there are many pollsters are here in -- partisan that it particularly if it did he -- blitz tonight.
It's over tonight what do you -- Well if he really 'cause.
Dramatically shown what -- can do about six months time when Mitt Romney -- is running for six years and the outspent Wisconsin five to one and almost every place he was outspent so can you imagine what would happen if they started now with equal money at the same time.
It would have been a completely different concepts like policy are getting that kind of a defeatist attitude here one of the most optimistic as I know but I I think here.
You're closing your wallet.
Well -- absolutely not I I have a lot of faith than.
And not so much Rick Santorum -- have faith and him but I have faith and our country and that's what we're all about this is stock of a Republican Democrat turnaround necessity in American turnaround.
-- -- -- -- -- And Rick has shown not number of times where he's been a win the democratic districts when you got northern Wisconsin -- love people love on the the people's calluses on their hands out.
He's a remarkable leader in a lot like I like about him.
He he's only candidate is really -- Univision is one thing to pay policy statements but is different to talk about the constitution and declaration dependent so.
And he's not out yet this'll be an important win for Romney if that -- -- if that occurs but there's Pennsylvania had and that I shows I think Rick is six percentage point ahead there -- -- major polls so it's it's it's only it were to lose his home state I mean that's.
That's not good -- yes what.
Well remember their famous -- first don't rush to meet that that you -- most avoid so we'll wait do we get to Pennsylvania.
And I -- lots of very good point but I get a sense from you -- -- too.
How you would advise.
Santorum because it -- argument isn't -- I've -- -- before that.
Bomb he does very well is not a whole lot of primaries he's he's won Iowa -- got things over.
But but it's it did that delegate math gets more prohibited for him.
With each and every passing.
Electoral event and -- -- is there a point at which you say for the good of the party.
Senator bond may be.
Step back.
Well the delegate count is -- -- say I'm not a political junkie but.
There's a very prominent felony Morton Blackwell -- -- one of the most prominent political leaders in America.
Who said if you take the two states of Arizona and Florida which have -- winner take all currently Republican national party.
Rules that they should proportional and it he did -- -- work on the back of an envelope instead of losing almighty he could -- Rick Santorum committee pick up 28.
Another thing people forget is that even though primary or our caucus -- -- a straw poll might be 5050.
The delegates don't get allocated 5050 and and it's it's a different system and so -- delegate count some people estimate could be significantly off now maybe not as much is -- campaign claims but.
It certainly off by -- maybe a 10052 -- votes.
So it will look to see how things go on Pennsylvania and -- Rick is out.
To save the country and and he's gonna do it every -- do it and -- is generating a lot of excitement among people who.
Maybe having been out to vote before Washington Post call in the Tea Party guy before the -- -- Tea Party.
Well you know what I had and -- on with us it was -- -- -- are over whether he had really said he would vote for Barack Obama over.
On Mitt Romney tried to clarify that's and that's never what he intended on that.
But I did rid of the idea would you entertain being Mitt Romney's running mate and he didn't slap it down -- do you think key.
He should be considered.
This should Mitt -- be the nominee -- wanted to.
Potential run and it's.
Well I doubt it I doubt Mitt Romney would ask I don't know -- astronaut but I think -- attitude is look I just believe this country needs a different change of direction we're -- you said you -- I think Mitt Romney -- they don't like each -- -- debt.
But I don't know I think I think they do I I'm pretty sure I know Rick likes met and respects them.
But he just doesn't like his policies in terms -- -- -- -- -- and cap and trade you -- far better than I do I go up and TV persona and a just a visceral kind of -- I I think there's bad blood there.
But you know something remark about -- he did an interview on not faith.
In his life and he was interviewed by pastor Minnesota I was -- here.
And they asked them what your favorite Bible verse and was something in the data to -- -- glaciers that.
-- love those of persecute you pray for those of persecute you and if you look at -- attitudes towards the gay community they just hammer him but he has no animosity towards them and in fact he could do wind up one of their major heroes to protect them from Sharia law.
So Rick is not angry guy -- people personally just gets very angry at some of the policies and and he's a fighter he's a scrap for and I'm very grateful that I've been able to be of help film and we're we're wishing for Pennsylvania to go well foreign will watch closely -- is always a pleasure thank you very much for joining us OK -- thank you for having me god see you again -- -- --
