race. i think the comments are unfair to romney. remembering the mccain campaign. you have all of these quote-unquote conservatives cheering for romney during the entire duration of the primary. he was the conservative candidate. now some elements have turned against him. if you read what mitt romney says, follow mitt romney's vision, i think he is clearly a conservative candidate in the race, and i -- i don't understand why erick erickson would go out and say romney is not capable of winning a race. no president has gotten re-elected with an unemployment race above 7.4%. >> what is an issue that romney will not bend in order to win? name one, steve. you know he won't change. >> i think -- i think that -- i think that these were issues for mitt romney in the senate race, in the presidential race last time. and at the end of the day, he will have to deal with it. it's a criticism.
