They have tried to make an asset for themz by the fact that mitt romney has gotten victories like this such as illinois. do you think that matters the cost per vote these guys are spending? no, i actually think it s a ridiculous argument, rachel. in 2008, the john mccain campaign was outspent by $250 million. it s almost impossible to win a presidential election when you re talking about that type of fundraising disparate. if mi disparity. if mitt romney goes on to become the nominee, they won t have that kind of fund raising at this time. if rick santorum were somehow able to come back and do it, they will be faced with that kind of fundraising disparity, and it s a huge strategic problem if you re on the republican side of the aisle and you want to be a republican president. steve schmidt, john horowitz. i think we ll be checking back in with you as the night wears
