nice to have you with me. videotape, it s hard to bat down when that stuff exists out there. take a look at mitt romney talking about romneycare from before. we have a model that worked. one state in america, my state, was able to put in place a plan that got everybody health insurance and therefore the right way to proceed is to reform health care. that we can do as we did it in massachusetts as it s being proposed to do at the national level. we need health care reform. we took that on in massachusetts. we decided we wanted to get everybody insured. we ve done that. i understand the president considers his plan in some respects following the model of massachusetts. let s learn from our experience. santorum has reaped the benefits of bringing this up during the primary fight. explain how this discussion can go further and what the match-up means in the general if romney is the nominee? well, there s a clear distinction between what he did as governor and what he says he s going
