remember, this is the republican party where there s a genetic predisposition to go with the guy who seems like the most likely president. and chris, there s not a goldwater, there s not a reagan. there s no galvanizing figure on the right who is bringing folks away from the rockefeller or the bush $41. there are a handful of conservatives, none of which have really sort of captivated the imagination of the party s conservative base. santorum was the closest thing to that. i don t know why they re not willing to outsource their nomination. yesterday, newt gingrich made the point that support for conservative candidates was much higher than for the moderate mitt romney. let s watch the point we ve just made by one of the candidates. i think that if you combine santorum and perry and bachmann and me, and compare it to the romney numbers, it s going to be overwhelming that the conservative base of the party is still there and that governor romney remains, basically, a massachusetts

because democrats aren t too happy with how he didn t give that to elizabeth warren in any way that was going to work. you know, he hasn t been sounding like elizabeth warren. so he s trying to do this kind of two-step where he s saying, yes, we re going to crack down on the banks and yes, we re going to make sure this consumer protection agency finally, finally happens. but that also reminds people that he is seen to have protected the banks and not moved quickly enough on that in the past. although his language about the banks was very, very firm yesterday. yes, it was. just, his language. he s pivoting. i think again, it is another year where he ll be president. but i think at some point his action has to match his language. if he doesn t want to take even a little shellacking when it comes to the next election. and cordray is in the a galvanizing figure among progressives. like elizabeth warren is. you re not knowsly going to see the fight coming behind him to bol
other than republicans nobody is going to head the bureau as a galvanizing figure on the right, i don t think he s going to be confirmed, i don t think that s going to happen. that was my exception to the question that is the engine to the consumer financial protection. they don t want to appoint anyone to head that agency and i think they now see this opening as the president gets sterner with his language, they see an opening to court the financial class. the president in the past hasn t been successful on that. and they ll continue to stall and block the appointment in the future. so perhaps richard cordray week stretches into another break. after the gop retreat, does the party now think it s risky to attack president obama? on my phone, i got internet! hotspot five dollars. hey, hey, hey, hey. i can see who s on my network people! lance? lance? yes, yes
barrac barracks, hostile to the idea that their people are entitled to a new world and a new culture. as you know, wael ghonim the google executive has become a rock star. he s also attractively a reluctant hero, but do you think he could become a galvanizing figure for this movement? i think this man did what he s good at. this young man provided, if you will, the new technology and he provided the stirring moment now for the egyptian people. who is going to rule egypt? we really don t know. and who will emerge from the chaos of this movement? we don t know. mubarak willed this kind of vacuum. and i don t see in ghonim a desire to rule. i think he s just simply life gave him a roll and he played it. he s an enabler of this technological invention of this.
