robert and i do tend to agree a lot. that s i don t get the whole there s a lot we don t don t agree on, a lot we agree on. before i let you both get out of here, go to the other end of the spectrum, let s talk about your boy, rick santorum, robert traynham. you work with santorum for a while. told news max wednesday he is not ruling out a 2016 run. santorum s his message, his platform, how is that going to play in a postdoma world and a party that says it wants to spend less time talking about social i shall snunchts you say dome marks you mean defense of marriage act, senator santorum is a deer karr friend of mine, however, he is on the wrong side of history when it comes to gay mar. an i have been very, very clear around adamant about that, and i think i m right. remind ourselves that senator santorum did, in fact, win the iowa caucuses three and a half years ago. also remember that add phenomenal fund-raising machine in place and he was taken very,
has a deep, gut feeling for why he is in this race. for some people, that was probably persuasive? go ahead. bret: i wanted to hear your thoughts on the gingrich speech, contrasted with the santorum speech. what we are getting to here is that these two candidates, being in the race at the same time, at this point, are benefitting mitt romney and hissest to get the nomination? when we got the news that santorum hadn t called romney and romney hasn t called santorum, you can imagine why. it is the battle for second to take on mitt romney, if he wins as many states as he is going to is santorrum and gingrich. both speeches were way too long. that s the way it is. santorum s was very much, this is my vision for the country. gingrich has a little bit of that. but he has gone with the $2.50
various other places in california and boston. he explained the two cadillacs were one each in california and boston. but of course he has to win it and even though you know he has to win it because his people say he will win it and they made the prediction shows how important they think it is. if they were going to down play the significant they wouldn t say that. what do you make of the good polling in ohio? and also in wisconsin? john nichols, your thoughts? well, romney s good poll something. santorum s, i m sorry. santorum seems to be doing well in ohio, and a lot of favorable comments i heard over the weekend people on the other side think he s very dangerous but seems to be appealing to the radical and that is the wing he s grabbing right now. i think there is something else very important. santorum at this point is appealing in both wisconsin and
there are jokes he lives in various other places in california and boston. he explained the two cadillacs were one each in california and boston. but of course he has to win it and even though you know he has to win it because his people say he will win it and they made the prediction shows how important they think it is. if they were going to down play the significant they wouldn t say that. what do you make of the good polling in ohio? and also in wisconsin? john nichols, your thoughts? well, romney s good poll something. santorum s, i m sorry. santorum seems to be doing well in ohio, and a lot of favorable comments i heard over the weekend people on the other side think he s very dangerous but seems to be appealing to the radical and that is the wing he s grabbing right now. i think there is something else very important. santorum at this point is appealing in both wisconsin and ohio for two reasons. mitt romney has not been in with negative ads, people are expressing thei
