well, i can say that i ve heard from numerous state senators, numerous republican state representatives. i ve heard from local republican elected officials. i ve heard from working class blue collar people in the state of indiana who are very much encouraged by lunchpail republicans and that is the people that we re going to represent is the working class families in the state and small businesses. i am not, if you would say look at the leadership as the establishment right now, i have not received any verbal communication from those leadership at all at this point. david fagan, financial secretary of the international union of operating engineers local 150 n indiana, chairman of the newly formed lunchpail republicans, sir i know there will be voting on the issue this week, we have been closely following this in indiana. i hope i can ask you to come back on the show and talk again as this continues to unfold in your state. i look forward to that opportunity and short term we
idea including among republicans and conservatives. so much so i wouldn t be surprised to see if not in the next congress, very soon, republicans joining an effort to say the supreme court has spoken, this is now the law of the land we can t change it not immediately let s at least see where the money comes from. somebody s name should be attached here, keep in mind right now, contribute all kind of secret money and your name may never be known that it s coming from you. do you think there is enough negative sort of blow-back against candidates from off message statements that are nevertheless supposed to be toward their benefit that candidates are more worried about the lack of coordination than they are happy to have billionaires dumping in unlimited money on their behalf? i realize newt gingrich got in trouble for the bain stuff and he backed off but i m not sure that that trouble is more valuable than the hit against mitt romney that that money got
