and we know that president obama is fuelling up, rolling out a war machine unlike no other in terms of the 2012 race. do you think, and i ll direct it to you on the left side first, that the republican presidential candidates are under estimating or ignoring the obama machine to their own peril at this moment? i don t know how you under estimate the obama machine, not to mention that he is doing well in the polls t economy is lifting and the gas prices are an exception, we will talk about that later, i know. but i ve seen mitt romney try to fill a high school basketball gym to no effect. i wish him luck today. they are not under estimating it, that is why they are getting ready for the fight, the republicans say give me more money because barack obama will clobber me with all of his funds. give me more money because i m going to get my bum handed
