hard and then just went there. take a look. we ve got to give our political organizational activity, you know, a very serious proctology exam. i think that s the only we need to look everywhere is my point. everywhere. okay. mark halperin. well, mika, you made the point that i think is really important, which is a lot of these things might have been better said before the election rather than now. there s an confluence here of events that s helping republicans make the pivot more quickly than they might, which is governor romney said these things just as the republican governors were gathered for their meeting in las vegas, and a lot of leading national reporters were there to amplify and question them. that s lucky for the republicans in the sense that they re getting a chance to respond and try to move up in a new direction. but we ve seen this movie before. it s very hard for republicans, after a loss, governors of whatever party loses often try to say you know what?
