the funny thing is, when i tweeted about brian, nobody cared. they were more interested in patterson and kristen stewart. they didn't care about brian inasmuch such is twitterverse. >> brian: it was a great compliment. right in the middle of the election, he starts reading my tweets. >> steve: speaking of the election, how do you think mitt romney ran his campaign? >> well, i think he's a wonderful guy. i think he's a nice guy, but he should have been tougher. he should have been out there more. he should have been on your show a lot. he should have been on lots of other shows and say what you want about obama, he was on letterman, he was on leno. he was on "the view." he was on everything. and he should have done that. the ads were bad and don't forget at the beginning he started saying what a nice man our president is, how he's such a nice man. i think he stopped that at the end when he was getting hammered. it was very sad. >> gretchen: you think it was more the candidate rather than the party? >> well, i think a lot of things were bad. $400 million was spent on ads, you hear all about the pacs and some of them were the worst were
