five people are dead from injuries related to a suspected tornado in woodward, oklahoma. and the kansas governor has declared a state of emergency. let s go to susan candiotti in wichita. i m wondering whether the early warnings in the region that you are in right now might have helped the situation. reporter: i can t imagine that they didn t, howie. they had to have played a huge role in that. after all, this is the first time i think since 2006 that they were able to give people who live in this region at least two days warning to be prepared for the storm. now, certainly it may have helped in many instances, but tornadoes, you know, can hit at random, but you can t help but think that it did help some people to be better prepared for the storm. weather system the weather forecasters doing their job. this is not over, and so at this point what s our information on where the greatest threats may lie in terms of other communities that might be struck by these twisters?
people in the street. that s the bottom line. these are progressives who are in the street. you don t see the conservatives in the street the. you don t see them you know who s out there for them? fox news is out this for them. some right-wing talkers in milwaukee are out there for them. go across the state, no, no, no. this guy is on big-time shaky ground and this is a template for other states across the union to see how to fight against the big money. that s why this is so big. if walker wins, if he stays in office, it also sets the template on how the republicans will be able to get it done. let s bring in wisconsin state senators lena taylor and chris larson. lena, let me ask you first, the template, i mean if i m wrong, tell me. what s happening here? you are not wrong, ed. this has been a movement that is unprecedented. it is unprecedented for our
barrett before he even announced he was running. i m joined by mr. barrett on the ed show. thank you for joining us. i appreciate your time. great to be on your show. thank you, sir. why are you doing this? you waited until friday to jump in. why are you doing it? i m doing this because scott walker is trying to divide the state like it s never been divide before and i want to restore trust to the governor s office and heal the state and i want to create jobs. we can do the that. scott walker started a civil war in this state. and you heard about it in the last segment on the call where he thought he was talking to the koch brothers. the phrase he used was he was going to drop the bomb. we all know what that means. when you drop a bomb two things are going to happen, either you will obliterate a village or people will fight back like never before. that s what we have seen in wisconsin the last 15 months. we have seen people fighting in this state to make sure check tytive bar
the entire state. i don t think that mitt romney has been this close to a congressional member since. it seems like ryan is audition auditioning for the role of running mate on the ticket. romney needs to get solid conservatives behind him, embracing the ryan budget which would eliminate programs for americans is the first step the the latest polling puts romney ahead of the badger state by seven points yet rick santorum remains optimistic. we re going to have a strong showing. maybe even sneak in and have an upset. santorum s dreaming. despite romney outspending santorum 50 to 1, santorum s latest ad uses his most effective argument against the former massachusetts governor. i m rick santorum and i approve this message. what if i told you this man s
increasingly the voters, i think, are deciding and among the republicans that the race is over and it s time to turn their attention to president obama. i think for dignity sake, rick santorum is trying to stay around at least until pennsylvania. he better be careful what he wishes for there, ed. that s my home state. i know a lot of people there. i keep close tabs on it. it s by no means certain that rick santorum would win his home state of pennsylvania on april 24th. we know he lost by 17 points the last time he ran for the senate there. here is mitt romney s best surrogate, his wife ann in a radio interview earlier. sometimes he appears stiff. do you have to fight back some critics like my husband isn t stiff, okay? well, i guess we better, unzip and let the real mitt romney out because he is not. what the heck was that all about? i m telling you man.
