>> if the slope is graduate, a slope over three years, this is less felt by the electorate and less by the economy. what killed jimmy carter is you had spikes in prices that were the oil shocks that shocked the economy, sent in a tail spin and had immediate impact on the voter by raising prices hugely and quickly, immediately. if it rises 10 cents here or there it won't have an effect. there could be a spike if there is outrage of real unrest in middle east. that could affect the economy and put us in double dip the way it did twice in the '70 '70s. it could have effect on how people feel about economy. >> last june they tapped in the petroleum with largest release in nation's history if the gas prices head to $5 a gallon. you think in a political season. you got a percentage point bump from 45 to 47%. >> unless they free up the keystone. republicans have to play this game and make the argument. what charles said, he is right. this is not happening in a vacuum. republicans have to make an argument. it's not just that we look at the gas prices. republicans have to explain what gas prices have gone up. the white house feels this is random effect, they point to the president's role to cause the gas prices to go up. they have not done that effectively. you can point to keystone. that is a campaign issue. the republicans can use to make an argument but they have to make an argument. >> after making the argument, the republicans could point to wyoming and the price of gas is $2.90. the reason is proximity to canada. this is what we are supposed to get from keystone. carney talking about this, it's complete nonsense. it has done everything it can to shut down drilling in the gulf. killing keystone. a war on fossil fuel in name of pie in the sky. clean energy for which they have been throwing billions to no effect whatsoever. >> the rhetoric ratchets up. it tells them they may cut off the oil. you have can't fire me because i quit. the keystone decision does it look in hindsight more dangerous because at this point in time you want to make sure dough have supply of oil. >> the pressure on keystone has not disappeared. president obama personally wishes he could have supported pipeline online. it's a fight that is not over for sure. i want to say the rhetoric, this is complicated. as you know, the white house will argue that they pick up and the demand does for oil. this also affects the prices. they have a line for everything about this. the iranians choose to slow down or tighten the flow of oil. they will make sure that they are proactive about the rhetoric, about gas prices. >> obama could easily allow the keystone to happen. all they have to do is say yes. >> the argument on keystone -- >> keystone was approved twice in a three-year period. white house stepped in with the state department and declined it. this is easy as a clean argument for the republicans to make. >> of all the decisions i think if you see unemployment continuing to drop through june and august and october, they won't remember fast and furious and solyndra and keystone the way you think they are. >> john: hold it there for a minute. we'll be back in a minute with more. next up, the 2012 election campaign and how michigan is turning in to a crucial test for native son mitt romney. don't go away. we'll be right back.

can santorum beat him? >> yeah, he could. he is making the argument with christian conservatives there. if i am romney i'd do something unconventional here going to the final weeks before michigan. i'm embrace my opposition to the bail-out. we should have opposed a bail-out. it's smart and here is why. i'm a businessman and turn-around artist. this created moral hazards where there weren't some before. it would allow romney from embracing what republicans should embrace broadly, one he is not conservative enough. it would be conservative argument. he is too calculating because this would be a big risk. >> i don't know, i think his response on the bail-out with the way he tried to explain is it shaky at best. he won in 2008 to pander to them and say don't let them tell you that the jobs are gone. i'm not going to accept that. months later he wrote that famous op-ed in the "new york times" saying let detroit go bankrupt. if they take the bail-out, you can kiss them goodbye. he is walking it back to say he is asking for managed bankruptcy. that is what happened. this does sound calculated. santorum is not only ahead in the polls but he has a lifetime. 12 more days. he won last time with 39%. he was the conservative option to john mccain. santorum will beat him with the catholic, white working class, romney numbers with them are going down terribly. evangelical christians, he has a message of the liability of obamacare. he was the architect was. i would be surprised if he doesn't pull a close second. >> if we look to the contest, likely romney will win area. if he loses michigan could it be a trip wire to waffles on the following tuesday?
