the next president of the united states. probably the way things are looking it will be romney. morris is right. eventually we will get off the contraceptive thing and get back to what matters. the economy. jobs, down 14 million jobs, down 1.5 million jobs since obama took over. gas is $3.75 a gallon. people are unemployment longer than ever in history. once the focus is back on that. it doesn t matter you could put patriotic pup up to beat obama. does he make the aim requirement? dog years. dana: bob does. bob: may i make a comment? andrea: yes, what is your gut telling us today? bob: a lot of it. let me start with dick morris. i ve known him a long time and i would say it to his face. he the same guy that sat with me in the green room and said we d win 105 house seats and we d take over the senate. i wouldn t use his predictions
according to the polls. even if the top donor to the super pac had to apologize getting offmessage with this yesterday about contraception. the contraceptive thing, my gosh it s unexpensive. in my days they useed bayer aspirin for contraception. the guys put it between their knows and it taunt costly. it was a joke, a stupid joke. in bad taste. he said he supports as public policy he voted to keep it legal and federally funded. there is no allegation of wrongdoing. the deputy campaign manager is married to the cofounder of the super pac. las vegas magnet has donated $10 million is about to add another $10 million.
talk, very struck by the shallowness of support for mitt romney. this is a crowd i thought would be pro-alum rock, the local establish in the state capital in ohio. not many were. they were open to santorum. the romney campaign is turned off. turned people in the state, as with dewine who told mike warner my colleague he never met mitt romney. switched to romney and then said i d like to get together with governor romney and talk to them a little bit. they went to a staffer and the staffer told him i don t know. maybe next time. i don t think that is why he did it. i think dewine is a principled man and he thinks that santorum has a better chance to beat obama. bret: many people are saying a bit of a stumble for the santorum campaign in that the foster freeze, the backer of the santorum super pac had this to say about contraception, and then the candidate responded. the contraceptive thing, my gosh it s such inexpensive.
or, in other words, a hearing without birth control without one person who can actually give birth. when you have men talking about birth control you are libel to get sound bites like this one which came later in the day from rick santorum s money man foster freeze. this contraceptive thing, my gosh, it s such inexpensive. back in my days they used bayer aspirin. the gals pull it between their knees and it wasn t that costly. i ve been trying to get the phrase bayer aspirin out of my mind all week. we just played the clip. he has since apologized for his comment. i want to begin by asking about what you made of this week in terms of just surely this kind of politics and optics of it, what is striking to me was republicans seem to have stumbled into a situation in which a set of different plot points throughout the week can be plausible strung together to
foster freeze. on msnbc talking about birth control and rick santorum had a response with charlie rose about is he responsible for what his supporters say in they were talking about contraception. roll it. this contraceptive thing, it s so inexpensive. in my days we used bayer aspirin for contraceptive. gals put it between their knees and it wasn t that costly. charlie, when you quote a supporter of mine that tells a bad, off-color joke, and somehow i m responsible, that is gotcha. no one says you re responsible. this is what you do. you don t do it with president obama. with president obama you defended him against someone who sat in a church war for 20 years and defended him. he can t believe what he listened to for 20 years. double standard. this is what you pull off. i m going to call you on it. greg: he has a point. as silly as the joke, santorum
