Like sarah palin did four years ago. i think that chris christie also gave, the new jersey governor gave a very powerful speech. and not everybody agrees with you on that one. in fact, most people disagree, they think he blew it. i think his point on obama s leadership, the unwillingness to say no is a liability in a leader, and obama is unwilling to treat voters like adults and i think he drove that point home and i think it s a very effective attack on obama, more effective than saying obama is in over his head. dorothy, who else impressed you the most among the nonromney actors here? among the non-romney actors, marco rubio, actually because i got to see he did in one minute in terms of personal revelation which romney could not do. paul: 20 minutes. exactly that. yes, they says not presidential for a few minutes, but you can see the ease and the naturalness with any he discusses his identity ....

The big question could he bring in his sway with that some conservative category he did well with in the exit polls? yeah he was the nonromney candidate for the better part of the campaign and that is due to the creative energetic campaign he ran. his issues he was talking about. his appeal to blue-collar workers. he does have some con sit when he could bring when he endorses mitt romney. it will not happen today but it is going to happen. this is not somebody who brought with him to the campaign a huge base of support. remember he rose from about 4% in the polls in iowa, to 25% on the caucus night there. this wasn t somebody who brought with him a huge national following. he developed something of a following over the course of the campaign but i don t think he has got the kind of national following that some other politicians, national politicians have. martha: you mentioned he is not going to endorse him today. what do you think about this long, drawn out endorsement process? you ....
That they stand for to make a run against somebody they consider a deeply vulnerable president, and i think that romney never fit that bill for them. you remember they went through these stages of sort of anybody but romney, get me a nonromney, get me chris christie, jeb bush, anybody but romney and it didn t work and he met rejection all the way, so what you ve got as a result of these endorsements is an attempt to get santorum and gingrich out of the race because they know it s over now and a lot of damage has been done and they don t want to prolong this. it s going to hurt them as much as it hurts romney but there s no great enthusiasm for romney on the hill. gregg: isn t it odd to see members change the rules to backload it, more proportional on the front end because they wanted to prolong the primary season and now all of the sudden they want to end it, a lot do, because they want to avoid a war fight, huh? i don t think anyone ....
Then there s the enthusiasm question. in wisconsin republican voters overwhelmingly thought romney would be the nominee and that includes two-thirds of santorum voters. when it comes to those who will vote gop regardless of the nominee, romney voters led by almost 20 points, nonromney votes were less interested. has romney begun to pull it altogether? and shake in a race? challenges remain. party unity s not fully there. women and independents have to reconcile stances that santorum dragged romney to right on and of course when will santorum and newt gingrich step aside? chris, that tipping point could be pennsylvania or texas, or even tampa. love the etch a sketch. thank you so much. with all of the stars now aligning for mitt romney, there is some talk, more talk, about who he might pick as a running mate. will he be bold or take the safe route? well, here s what people who use the online prediction site ....
