Collar republican voters. you have seen him hit it out of the park on message on primary nights. i think one of the things under estimated on the republican side is the impact of governor romneys comments when you talk about that hes not focused on the poor. i think that impacts with evangelical voters who in fact are focused on the poor and it also impacted with conservatives who dont believe in the social safety net in the way that governor romney described it. so i think all of this after a n...

Interesting analysis where he said more recently it looks like romney may be getting his mojo back. look, this race has been up and down, up and down all over the place. whats going to happen tonight, charles? what does mitt romney have to do? >> mitt romney has to stop stumbling around in these debates. he has to have an articulate message where he can attack newt gingrich and do so in a forceful way, in a way that summarizes what he wants, his attack on newt, which is that newt is not the pers...

then she has tumbled, tumbled in a pretty intense way in the polls. its really unclear why because she has at least at the beginning she had done pretty well in debates. she had been here campaigning very hard. she, like rick santorum at the end of this campaign, was around the state. she did all 99 counties. guess what, she was even born here. she was born in water loo, iowa. she is a native daughter of the state. she did not do very well. very disappointing. at the end of the day, su...

Years, and that goes up to $3,600 on a $400,000 loan. are the real losers, here, homeowners? >>guest: in a sense, perhaps they are. it is probably wise of people crafting this bill to try and go after homeowners rather than having a broader payroll tax cut. this is something that either side really wanted to talk about as they had this debate but that has been another huge challenge in this congress, they have always tried to pay for everything they do, and they have to pay for it somehow. the d...
