Michigan often hails itself as the first line of defense.

Against the Canadians.

Proving that humor and politics can co exist.

Actor and comedian -- -- opposed to out of Grand Rapids how're you.

Judge so nice to see you again good to see you also are right that Joseph -- -- on the ground there in Michigan.

We're hearing it's a dead heat between Santorum and Romney what are you hearing.

Forget about it I got the direct I got all the info I've been polling about a big corporate event of my friends here I asked everybody.

It says slam dunk for Romney of telling you right now why do you think -- -- following three up.

I think so my friend by the streak of you know judgment shall -- -- -- with me and he he thinks may -- not that it's close with us in -- But from I have to -- and I and I -- the father but Jack my -- says Romney by 50%.

Really and -- Jack you're driving probably right.

And easily easily oh blue collar working guy in Grand Rapids is a great -- Michigan is one of the great state as you know I come here a lot of work your -- is proud to come here.

And to see my friend.

And here is they they are the earth of the United States of America and I'm telling you what.

I'm a Democrat but -- a very conservative Democrat.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Got his whole head by democratic -- -- -- Hollywood HBO K let it be it but -- never.

Let me let -- -- Rudy Giuliani but the convention to New York you know.

And and so I worked for the state of Massachusetts I got to meet the governor I got that work with him and that we just had a great time that I saw the couple years ago.

They entertained and you'll support them is that the -- don't.

No I was a hired hand but I think I've struggled -- ready you know okay.

Let's check out there just -- -- -- hired him all about -- that's why would Santorum beating Romney ten days ago by fourteen points.

I don't know -- you know.

-- good question I think people get convoluted with the social issues and that when.

When Rick Santorum was a very decent individual but you can start throwing you know people in glass houses you know it's very.

About Rick Santorum is because I keep thinking of Jimmy Swaggart -- you know brought to this it was the start with the socialists and socialist who's.

You run off with a hooker in -- -- -- -- -- to say about you know it's if it makes me a little queasy you know let's say itself.

I I think that people in America especially this part of America in the good state of Michigan.

They are it is it big over to the heart of the United States they believe in god it's OK to believe -- -- to -- pro life.

I think Rick pushed the foreseeable little bit and it struck a nerve in the way right wing that will lose them the election you.

Think Joseph that it really had more to do with the fact that Mitt Romney pretty much nailed him in Sydney look you're selling yourself as a social conservative.

When you supported the federal family planning act and you know the bridge to nowhere and you're not as conservative fiscally as you say.

You know.

Note to your.

Judge two point.

They have to stop and I know I don't Hillary.

And an Obama when that you know and he really went at it -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- For the GOP and again I'm I'm -- Democrat probably vote Democrat but -- -- just as an objective observer and in this in this state of Michigan.

Stop the vitriolic attacks please just stop it whistles sick of it you know and rock of all it though it's it's it's a it's a comedy show.

Oh I wish I wish I -- as good on the road he's got and that's why president Obama's been saying in his I think at his tail off for the ipad's great.

-- I fed up with that out of the all of my body of they'd get Obama is Danson and a white Hazmat and that's why he's saying it would be -- he is one that.

It -- did not cut if -- if they got but costly but at it again I'm here and and -- I always like to be it you know talk with you and you always have been accused -- in perspective and everything.

But in Michigan.

Romney's the guy they can get behind this guy and he's a month to -- a moderate Newt Gingrich is right Mitt Romney is a moderate.

Do you put that GOP this and this guy think they let that make could be let's make you think -- can beat Obama.

Not today but I know.

Governor Romney and I've seen him in action and I have to tell you this if -- -- What's on the Vegas a couple of years ago we were doing the same corporate event again I was hired -- and I just about Julie Bennett and Michael a -- as we go out and a half on the good great to got to go work all of the North America and I want out there and Mitt Romney was the keynote speaker you know.

I watched him.

It was -- everything to think about Mitt Romney saw on that stage for this corporate event so I want to get both -- -- -- he looks quite good thinking so far different and get ready wrap up here yeah Kenny Kenny -- fortunately you know I don't get -- written when Rick Perry went after about the debates and once in -- and Romney goes back he's got the fire now.
