with that presentation. looked like a mark twain ferrell presentation, the presentation the other night in iowa. if he is able to get back ontrack he could gain some traction and pick up some of what cain left off but four years ago fred thompson was leading the nomination. rudolph guiliani. as you said before. which again, went on then to be mike huckabee. who was running 8% at this point. then mitt romney has now run and mccain was low which suggests mitt romney has been running for the republican nomination for eight years now and it seems like the republican base is in constant search for somebody else. and that continues. he s still strong. weak and strong at the same time. afwree with that. i think the one thing he has, he is seen as the best opportunity to beat obama. okay. up next, her new book is called scorpions for breakfast.
