more presidential in a suit than in a santorum southern vest. i m joking, michael, partly because does this stuff matter? it it does to a certain degree. certainly for a lot of folks who fixate on that. but i think for rick, you know, he s trying to project the image of the potential president. so you re going to see him probably a lot more in suits than sweaters. it s great to see you michael steele. it s mitt romney who is trying to get out of the suit. thank you all very much. something very much on the minds of everyone on the campaign is what s going on on in afghanistan. the american soldier accused of gunning down 16 afghan civilians has now been flown into afghanistan and into kuwait. u.s. officials say that doesn t mean he won t be tried in afghanistan. lawmakers are threatening not to sign a strategic partnership agreement with the u.s. unless that soldier faces justice in
three-point win. in the backyard. if you look at the exit polling the kind of voters who resist romney in michigan after he has been running there for six years. son of a popular governor and everything. the voters will vote against him again in ohio and other places. that doesn t mean he won t be the nominee but santorum and ron paul, sidekick and gingrich costing him time and money and momentum. calling to question the heretofore formidable advantage in the field. does he have the strength as candidate and cam pape strength for long haul? that is a question they re still asking. the text to vote question the with the democrats in michigan. the santorum campaign effort to go after them.

that doesn t mean he won t at the end. that doesn t mean if this becomes about electability or you start having the full one-on-one campaign that we all expect. now, rick perry s not donald trump. rick perry s not sarah palin. rick perry s not michele bachmann. this guy is going to be more disciplined as a campaigner, i think, than any of the other boomlets, candidates that we ve seen. he s quite a fundraiser. what do the romney folks say, chuck, about perry picking up support not just when palin s out of the poll but when giuliani s out of the poll? that seems like the bigger threat to romney. that perry s picking up the giuliani voter. well, it s interesting, the romney people, nicole, saying, hey, why does everybody think we have to change strategy? why does everyone think because you re losing? look at the poll. it does end. you can t stay the course forever. that s right. and here we are going in our debate, the next debate is ours,
and i also think that s a winning stan politically for the president. i think if the house republicans say no, i think he can take that to the voters. you know, people care about jobs in this economy. and they want bold not, i think, not boldness, i think, not timidity. gene writes in the post, so obama should go big, not small, with his jobs plan. it s hard to overstate how apprehensive most americans are about their future. boldness from the president may or may not get nations mojo working again, but timidity surely won t. he can offer voters a choice between a pinched, miserly vision of the country s prospects on the one hand and an optimistic, expanse of view on the other. he needs to demand what s right, not what the other side is willing to give. that is for sure. we go back, we ve been talking over the past couple of days about fdr. i ve been reading a traitor to his class. you look what fdr did. it took him a while to move the
