Tonight? >> i think he will feel pressure from voters and donors, evidence he enif he himself has a hard time accepting reality that his strategy won't be sufficient, he won't be the nominee. he continued flying around the country and giving speeches but once the air starts coming out of the balloon and it would start at a more rapid pace coming out of the balloon, if he loses both of these states, he could keep going but be a walking dead candidate who has diminished ability to divide vote with rick santorum. santorum has goal is not so much for him to get out of the race but stop taking vote...

Evangelicals, i think perhaps they are the voters most motivated to try to get rid of president obama. and it would make sense that they would be turning out in substantial numbers as usual, and maybe some other voters aren't. plus, where's a moderate republican to go? if there is such a thing. who does that person vote for in this field? >> maybe there aren't moderate republicans anymore, maybe they are called independents now. but if you think that the race ultimately the general election is fought over people who identify themselves at least as being mostly in the middle, then what do you t...
