Well Mitt Romney is breaking out his secret -- -- trying to seal the deal by releasing this new video highlighting his wife's aunt and the wholesale.
It's pretty chaotic.
And a lot of fun.
It's a great time zone I miss having all of them country when we.
Good luck to go back.
You know that brought tears to Bob Beckel size so much so that.
And Wear the sunglasses.
That's okay that's okay -- in touch with.
Wanna explain -- to our viewers you're -- your viewers of course.
That is I had eye -- this morning so I have to Wear eyeglasses and does -- -- -- you know and we're on the -- -- -- there's a big adventure I'm -- -- I'm always wanna know what the world looks like from the eyes -- through the -- of the conservative.
And now I know home.
Ultimately that's not I don't know I want you to be I don't know parents and I I had I had -- that -- had this political -- -- I don't what I thought it would to service looks like a rat pack.
Escapes.
You know let's say one thing about and -- we talk about does not too many weeks ago that the it was sort of late I mean she -- and out of you get some of that good.
I -- had and it also says an awful lot about how much damage was stated that he incurred from Gingrich and Santorum not over yet.
Mean Gingrich made his pieces weekend Santorum has not yet.
And so you Alexander prisoners to get out well for a while anyway and and at least you president -- -- -- he won't get an analyst.
Political spouses were supposed to be helpful -- I guess some luster really terrific.
But will she be helpful list is ideally suited Qiyue denies it's him well that's -- point and indeed their huge political wives can B.
Marginally helpful they can be a real problem if they're not good if they got problems.
But in his case he's got a series -- icing problem.
And the -- poll after poll to poll it shows that and the only way you gonna do it the best version do it is he right to this moment.
Something that he's been hesitant to do now you know that they talk about the mormons it has been raised its not the Mormon issue.
About him being a Mormon is much is -- mormons are people who are.
Wonderful people who but who are self contained that they're told not to remote all that much and I think.
He's probably taken at the heart and she mentioning that in now arm.
Part of -- it's -- and in this ago bustle place.
Is to revealed to people that they don't look just to look -- -- a little money in the world wasn't able to prevent her.
From getting monstrous -- -- she deals with him.
How does that play out.
Well you know I think is that.
I never thought people were that we're we're upset about somebody rich running for president I mean did the president -- John Kennedy who want.
It it it really was the Bain Capital to be all you heard about -- for several months is about.
He could he set the stage on -- jobs being capital.
You know capitalism and all that.
You never heard about this film -- think about it right for two full months we never heard about that she was on the trail -- -- but -- she there was highlighted and I think that made him a one dimensional guy in the one dimensional that I was a sort of a technocrat.
Guy who could -- businesses may be.
And to bring jobs to America in the meantime.
He's a god doesn't want you warm.
And without that combined I think it's very difficult the only guy -- know that -- -- who had.
Not would you say divide vicious personal is Richard Nixon.
That he won by default I mean so.
That's so they -- -- -- not so I'm not to do it probably.
But the other thing you gotta be careful of is she can't get too far out she can't promote policies she can't come up with the -- things that they gonna throw him and he is gonna get a lot stronger and believe me.
Purity happens -- so well but that's mother went -- and -- she's also.
And no question might during the campaign it was very clear by inference that list that she was saying so and I got diagnosed.
You know forty years into this marriage or whatever was.
He stood behind me right -- ticket to -- -- botany.
I don't know what I was -- -- referenced in Gingrich is the time was surging but.
Obviously doesn't have to do -- sued -- to the president has a very strong great marriage so to what end does this help.
Well did you again I get back to appoint you you don't think about when you think about Mitt Romney you think about a -- -- -- as you Wear a tie you think about.
A guy -- executive.
-- the this CEO Bain Capital.
And what he's got five kids I've not met -- -- great he's -- -- wonderful wife.
And -- -- -- has been missing this is if you you took the book on Mitt Romney and you took two pages about his early life is Stanley life.
In the story she tells you pretty interest in you know about what he would do his kids so.
And he never he says seems to be incapable of telling that story.
And he's incapable of reason they people don't like to -- Yes that's true I mean you you for example are good case on point you know I mean one of the greatest causes my modest -- -- know -- -- you're -- that that -- -- humility I think is really your your your middle name not.
I I've noticed this from the very beginning and and I've -- kind of how are your answers senator zero they yeah they take it cataract out this morning on here they said united and determined to work because I want to do they have I want to do five and I'll tell you I'm sure -- I want to really don't always enjoy this little.
Discussion we have here and I'm always amazing people -- to -- say.
You know all I -- you -- -- we usually Monday night's.
And I learned a lot and I think -- itself plus with a look the that's not obviously a lot of -- make jokes and each other head but I.
I figured out as it actually it embarked on occasion.

Substantial person is network.
And I think the head of this network.
Not a -- well -- just here to serve you it looks like it carried -- -- and a humble this goes just so far says because -- Not that but all right well you complement you who you feel better get better I because.
