doesn t like it anymore. well, it s interesting. by observation and by hearing members talk about this, something that might not come to mind right away is that the experience of being someone like olympia snowe on capitol hill means you spend a lot of time out on your own island politically speaking. well, republicans would be frustrated with her, democrats would be trying to put a lot of pressure on her, even encouraging her to switch parties, always counting on her as a deciding vote. all of that pressure. so some of the collegiality and the sense of getting things done has probably been very hard for her to have here for a long time now. she s a very reasonable person to talk to. i ve spent time with her back in maine in her home state. very popular, as you point out. it was a real stunner. we often use hyperbolic language covering politics. this really shocked senate republicans who were counting on her. because she couldn t lose. couldn t lose re-election. well, i won t be

santorum or don t like romney. it could make a difference tomorrow. what difference does it make than obviously the delegates to romney? is this an important state to him because he s from michigan? it s the most important state so far because of the psychological impact it would have for him to lose. already he s lost so much. the poll you put up shows a lot of it. his whole appeal toward elect ability was being able to beat president obama in a way the other candidates couldn t argue that. is now go longer the case f he were to lose in michigan, his home state, the state that he won decisively four years ago, a big battleground, a big mid-western state, a state that determines the presidential election is a much bigger ballgame when you two being about the candidate that s best suit today beat president obama. suppose he does lose michigan or a close race and he has a commanding victory in roz, in arizona, doesn t that take away some of it. he is heavily favored in
get the votes? i mean, are they paying a premium for these votes or not? i think that romney, i mean, he s done the best with his money. because every time he s gone in and run these attack ads or the super pac has run the attack ads. those guys, whoever he s targeting have gone right down in the policy with their approval numbers. but other people like newt gingrich, he spent $15 million, including his super pac in january, and he did not get a lot of bang for that buck. were his ads negative or were they about his ideas, gingrich? well, he s gone back and forth. one day he s going to be the positive campaigner, and the next day he s evoice rating romney for being a liar. how about santorum? how is he at raising money. at one point he was so far back behind the pack you had to use buy knock lars to see him but he s catching up but still in last a place. he may be last place rising
this is red meat for the bait. you see people holding up signs saying don t believe the liberal media but he s able to get excitement on the base and that s an edge he has and romney doesn t. and speaker gingrich, who could get a lot of money through a super pac soon if someone does contribute what he might contribute, he says that president obama is dangerous. i mean, many people said that s like way over the top. i hear that from santorum s camp, from speeches that they make. they talk about his for yen policy, him going but dangerous? santorum has said some things that are close to that. they were close to the french revolution, obama wants control. i mean this is some real sort of red meat base politics they are playing and they know they can do that. romney doesn t really go there. he was asked if he was going to call obama socialist and he s not going to go down the road. but he knows they can to it.
