check 2, speaking in iowa last friday, sarah palin said. this. if i were in hierarchy of leadership in the g.o.p., to rally the troops, you know what i would say? i would say okay, folks, we have 46 days to go. i would say demint, you re awesome we need you down south. mitt, go west. g.w. we need to you race funds. crystal, cross hammer go east. karl go here, you can come to iowa. bill: karl rove will respond on the factor tomorrow. even though president obama colin powell has supported obama. he has lost some support he had in the campaign. it s not just me picking on the president. it s polling. he has to do more with respect to reducing the deficit and also being careful about putting more and more programs, more and more rocks into that knapsack because the american people looking for
