happens going forward. it s impossible to say whether he ll have to get out of the race. this is a totally new world in terms of where the money comes from and how it gets allocated. but look. what we re seeing is it s a lot of regional candidates. if you looked at the map last night santorum was very strong through the mid dle of the country. romney was stronger in hate to say it moderate places but romney has won other places in the south if you count florida as not southern. three candidates represent three regions of the country and slightly different ideologies and we ll see how it goes. it is great theater for us on the president s team and the long ter goes on t longer it goes on the better. do you think they re being blown in the ear or whispered in the ear or whatever by saying, look, keep this guy gingrich in the race? that is the interesting thing about these super pacs. alison as smart guy. really smart. i met him once.
