was then and think about it when you listen to what laura ingraham, conservative radio talk show host, laura ingraham said about how she felt romney was doing on friday, pre-pall ryan. let's listen to it. >> i might be the skunk at the picnic, but i'm going to say it and i'm going to say it clearly. romney is losing. i don't like to start a friday show like this, but i feel like i must. i don't pretend to have all the answers, but i know one thing. conservatism wins. if the election were held today, mitt romney would lose. >> and if the election were held today, mitt romney would lose. but steve, that's where republicans were. they were depressed. >> absolutely. and that's how i interpret this move. i think, there is a large element of panic to it. a large element of desperation to it. but i wouldn't say it's entirely panic and entirely desperation.
