that of 2010. the presidential nominee will have to have some specifics. you get in a fight with the president on terms he would welcome. i wouldn t write him off just yet. one of the things i find so remarkable is if you closed your eyes and listened to newt gingrich s attack on romney about bain capital and how he made his money, you would think it was coming from the left wing of the party. he s clearly within the constitueco constituency that s represented by the tea party. that s a real problem with some of the upper income, echelon, hierarchical thinking. and yet may have to swallow that pill if mitt romney is the nominee. i think to a certain degree in 2010 the democrats sort of took it lying down. now we see a super liberal pack called cree doe that s launch add take down the tea party ten campaign. it focuses on ten members through the cam paper that are anti-women, anti-science, and my

national review had an editorial where they said the same thing. as you match up with barack obama, you tell me it defeats barack obama and i probably will. let me ask you this. you are critical of newt. what do you fear? you work for a guy by name of ronald reagan. reagan wasn t leading in the polls until september of 1980. when he won election against jimmy carter. winning against somebody with not bad a record of obama. helped balance budget, get surpluses welfare as we know it. welfare reform. what do you fear? do you not think he changed. that is correct. sean: you don t think he has changed? he has changed some. good grandfather and respect he is a faithful husband. the idiosyncracy of the idea, grandiosity of the idea. the accusation of romney. they both do it, the accusation of romney about bain capital, they would
