This is these lines of attacks are going to I think as you said -- the race a bit but in the end who -- who -- the voters going to coalesce around as an alternative to Mitt Romney.

The fact that they're still.

Five legitimate contenders competing in South Carolina.

Against Mitt Romney I don't I'm not sure exactly how you break down those votes four.

So Rick Santorum Rick -- Newt Gingrich so that you create a scenario where they do stop Romney in South Carolina as they've been saying that they're going to.

In terms of the attacks on main.

I don't think that any of the candidates are immune to attacks like this.

You look at Newt Gingrich is lobbying activities over the last ten years and that that's coming up this morning and that's coming up this morning.

I think what you're going to see is that there will be a seven minute segment of the population who's really.

Kind of turned off by learning more about what private equity does but there'll be a larger part of the population that says this is the guys made a great success yes.

Some people lost their jobs -- a lot more jobs are created it's impossible to put an exact number.

And exactly how many were created.

But this is someone who's very confident and that's been the best selling point for Romney throughout.

I want to mention that your former deputy regional campaign manager for McCain and Palin you've heard me mention Sarah Palin she's one of the people who are calling.

-- for there to be some details to come out on exactly what Mitt Romney did when he was that Bain Capital.

Your former boss John McCain was on with our meg and Kelly yesterday on -- America live.

And -- -- history he'd beat up on Mitt Romney over the same subject now he said during the interview it was mostly his circuits.

But I've seen soundbites and I've seen transcriptions and -- verbatim that -- -- -- -- he did a lot of that himself as well with so.

How do you go from looking at it in a negative way and making it as part of -- Alternate punch against the candidate to supporting this candidate and defending it it's one thing to support Mitt Romney but now I'm hearing John McCain -- -- you work for the man talked me.

To be sure there was no love lost in 2008 between the two campaigns a certain points we thought it very hard fight against each other.

And we were we're happy to come -- Things that -- said -- About about Mitt Romney Bain Capital in and in fact costing jobs rather than creating them it's a tough question but if it's -- yeah.

My question and I think that.

Hindsight gives gives wisdom perhaps and looking at how we might put a general election candidate for against President Obama and the -- On his best foot is what John McCain's priority probably is right now.

He has a long time in government to know that.

Not every candidate is going to be perfect but at this point.

He wants like a lot of other Republicans peoples to sort coalesce around you -- you know I -- that's a non answer the.

I'm gonna push I have no new in -- and I watch this interview with John McCain and I know how closely work with that campaign.

That is a non answer to say that won't you know now.

He's really gonna side with him I I know that politics makes strange bedfellows are very famous person that that I -- it certainly isn't.

It bears repeating over and over and our lifetimes which is probably why gets repeated so much.

But the fact of the matter is these were points that were either true about Mitt Romney's past with this company -- they work.

The former McCain Palin campaign spent some cash -- would -- put those ads and and -- talking points together what's worst the true.

David I think it's usually see what Sarah Palin is saying.

-- she has.

Less invested in Mitt Romney's candidacy right now she's still -- she said in the majority of people who are searching.

And her call initially to have Mitt Romney -- -- -- the -- tax returns talk about exactly how many jobs are created.

It seem like it was.

Ganging up on Romney but I think later she clarified -- statement and said that.

He's gonna have to weather attacks like this from the them from the Democrats -- President Obama in the general and he needs to be tested and -- on these issues right now.
