agree with romney in this poll. that's the 37% you see of republicans who think state and local should carry the whole burden. richard, the romney position as happily described by him during those republican primaries, he just can't speak a word of that right now. >> the natural disaster they're looking at are those numbers. and that's why he's doing these flip-flops right now. when you are in an election that is separated by one or two points in pretty much all the critical states and your opponent is getting 78% approval, 78% approval, for his behavior on a national stage just a few days before an election, that's a political disaster. never mind the natural one that everyone else is suffering. >> many republicans concerned about this chris christie embrace of president obama, which makes perfect sense from a governing standpoint. >> sure. >> rush limbaugh thinks he's got it all figured out. let's listen to rush on this.
