even start talking to hispanics on other issues if this issue isn t put behind them no matter how it turns out? first of all, they ll get a vote. you may get like we did it in 2006, a house version and senate version. very, very different. not reconciled. at that point everybody will have their talking points. the answer is, sure. i think the conversation will continue, and i think you ll have a good republican midterm. you know, peggy, what s been interesting about this week is all of the big polarizing issues of the last two generations culturally all popped up in one week, and one had to do with the supreme court with gay marriage, with abortion. this culture war normally when it comes back is normally something that is helpful for republicans. is it good for the conservative movement to have these issues out there? i don t know. i think all of these cultural issues as i guess we call them have been major issues in america for almost half a century really. the abortion argumen
troops out by 2014. the right process is not a bailout. i said we would provide guarantees and that was what was able to allow these companies to go through bankruptcy, to come out of bankruptcy. so you see a wide variety of some flip-flops on big issues there but my question would be to you guys, are you surprised the obama complain isn t jumping on that more, jackie? i think they have. i think they have jumped on it quite a bit. it s just whether at this point of the campaign, it seems that was the message from a few weeks ago. it hasn t worked. you know, the polls are still moving in a lot of places and romney s favor so you have to you have to pivot here. and, you know, once when you have the economy, how it is and et cetera, et cetera, everything we ve been talking about for months if something is not working you got to kind of move on. it s also this is a campaign at the margins right now, right jo so i mean the abortion argument is all about picking off wom
one person said it s 50/50 right there. three weeks ago it was 2 to 1 against romney winning. on that front someone was arguing early they re the abortion argument may be backfiring against become obama in a state like ohio. a lot of catholic voters who may not have gone along with the democrats on that argument the way they anticipated it would work for them nationally. you are talking about todd akin comments? the attempt to paint all republicans as extreme view of abortion. you saw in missouri there was a backlash and there could be babl on conservative voters elsewhere. charles, last thought. ten seconds. this is the midwest effect of paul ryan. i think it was underestimated. people spoke only in terms of wisconsin. he has to appeal to the region that is under estimated. he gives youth and energy to helpful. panel, thank you very much. governor mitt romney goes over the top officially. getting the 1,144 delegates to be the republican nominee for
