as you know, chuck, this is a state by state race a lot of things going on, including the establishment quietly coming behind romney now. big doubts about perry and this is now a dog fight between the two of them. jonathan, did we know that was going to be perry s highlight, that was going to be the best moment for him during the debate? look, to me, the worst news perry got last night were not the attacks from the left via romney, it was the shots he got from the right from paul, santorum and bachmann. that s romney s best hope, chuck. that the undercard if you will, bloodies up perry on the right, on the cultural issues, on cronyism, on taxes and immigration and romney has a path to a plurality win. just real fast, i think ron makes a good point. this is not a national primary, it s a state by state primary. if the calendar includes ron s home state of michigan up high, add in a new hampshire and nevada caucus, romney is not in a bad spot, cluck. i would still rather be

[ cheering ] how many believe he is squeaky clean? [ scattered cheers ] ha ha. i think that was overwhelming. does that surprise you? it seemed to. no, doesn t surprise me. what surprised me is all these smiling students. these guys here are owed $480 million by the state of illinois, which is part and parcel of our near-california status, which is something whoever is the next governor, whoever is the next mayor is going to deal with these absolutel
election? i don t think so. it is kind of interesting more hispanics now is that what is going on? right, a third, a third, a third, basically, white, hispanic and black. funny you mention washington. when he ran he was a clear consensus candidate picked basically in behind closed door meetings. african-american leaders, including clergy have tried to pull this off this time but failed miserably. they can t coalesce? miserable doing it and they look like old war bosses of the old daly machine. is this like philadelphia. you want two black candidates to split the opposition, if you are black, you want two white guys? you want a lot of people running so you have a low plurality win. you want more the merrier of all of the ethics to just get your vote out. let me ask you this is rahm emanuel more popular after working for barack obama? the latest polls out in chicago show that he is coming on strong, but he also started [ applause ] but hold on, he is starting out as
