-- if you talk to the law.

-- tea parties on the ground in New Hampshire they've been trying to talk to Mitt Romney for quite some time and have zero success.

Doing that so we've gathered about twelve different.

Tea Party groups in New Hampshire who want to talk about the issues they want to talk about Mitt Romney's record.

Is an open and honest debate about issues and that's what we don't see right now.

Were afraid that the Republican establishment might be more interest that in in coordinating our governor Romney simply because he's -- next guy in line.

And that's not what this -- should be about.

-- -- if you find two partners that support a bunch of different candidates right now is there anything Romney could say it would change your mind.

While He needs to confront.

Romney care which is just anathema to Tea Party values He needs to distance himself from Al Gore's support.

On his position on EPA regulation of American energy He needs to actually take a position on the budget instead of distancing himself.

From the Ryan budget which we think was a brave step.

Interesting discussion will be watching this tonight as we see what happens at that rally and counter rally.

From the Tea Party folks up there thanks so much -- for joining us we appreciate it -- Could appear on the show.
