there is going to be losers also. and the losers tend to be louder and have a louder voice and would be drawn to the ballot box more than the winner. what is your view on that? i think the media will pay more attention to those having problems than those who are successful. the media covers had the wrecks on the freeway not those who make it home. we will see a battle of spin. those opposed fto this presiden will try to make sure the voices of the losers are heard the most and democrats make will make sure the winners heard the most.
early. early in 1999, a whole group governors got around him. i don t think that s going to happen this type. and but christie needs to try to show some broader support in conservative elements of the party. that s what he ll try to do. he s going to walk a line. we re not looking like he s going to flip-flop. chris christie will say one thing and the media market, something else. the thing about the story, christie s got conservatives so much, he becomes the man the media covers who is always attacking rand paul, people in the party. republican voters don t like that. that s one thing he has to rein in. the other thing that strikes me, that dan was talking about, this other governor, scott walker, to me, he was just on morning joe, that guy s running for president. so there s going to be another fairly well-known governor running in the state. i would make the argument if you re christie and looking at the field now, there are a lot
the guy without the conspiracy theories behind it. i found it interesting, that bret lang, writing in the wrap. last week, mitt romney had the best week in terms of most positive coverage since the campaign began and that s ironic. and the delegate count so people in the media does, make a good point, judy, the media covers who the purported front runner is and that he would be the likely nominee. jon: and look at the polls, articles written bo mitt romney, 16% negative. 58% positive. something has turned the corner for him, jim. again, i think the media have a weird thing and also sort of like to be with the heard and the band wagon. it s not like the media aren t trying to help president obama as pointed out.

clearly they would be happy with the numbers they ve seen so far, the trend lines are good. i don t know if there is this sort of easy decision between the sort of smaller government conservative and president obama at this point. you, yourself said that so far none of these candidates you believe have actually articulated what you want them to articulate. you ve got r-pl mitt romne mitt romney saying, what more can i say in i ve said i m conservative on all these issues and you re not satisfied. what more they can say, not just romney, how we can shrink government so our smaller businesses can hire more people. but a lot of this has to do with what the media covers. but instead what the focus seems to have been on is this horse race within the g.o.p., and kind of jostling for position there. we talk about who is up, who is down, when what we need to talk about is the american public is down right now, and how do we
