We've had overwhelming crowds at every event overflow crowds.

Governor Romney came last week he had to get three speeches he had to give one to the town hall.

One to the overflow room -- one to the parking lot.

Are everywhere between people are excited that they that they -- votes matter and Maryland matters and points well.

-- Eastern Shore -- western Maryland.

Then you have a lot of federal workers outside.

DC in Montgomery County Prince George's County.

Give a large manufacturing base outside of the Port of Baltimore.

I and we feel alive that the way we compete is -- almost running Maryland -- your country and we have so many different voting segments.

That we need to reach out to all of them.

And which areas do you expect.

Santorum to do the best we'll Begin with Eminem ask -- the same question for Romney.

Well I believe this that are central -- his best over Western Pennsylvania he was in Frederick on a radio show yesterday.

With chairman Alex -- Right south of his home in Pennsylvania.

And so that that's socially conservative western Maryland part.

Will be his base for Maryland in -- twelfth.

And that's -- -- charm -- about Romney -- Mitt Romney I think he's going to exceptionally well in Montgomery County Prince George's County Baltimore area.

It actually he's got broad support here across the state and that he is abilities little -- lot of Tea Party support.

There was a vast number of Tea Party supporters at his rally last week.

And so he's going to build you cast a wide net and get -- from all across -- IRA and thank you semites David and I appreciate you joining us this morning I have to ask you you seem so serious -- haven't -- Well I am who I know we got 24 hours Election Day and busy to get ready -- -- Thank you had enough that you have a good morning you're welcome you have a great morning to you and I have yet a huge turnout tomorrow had a feeling that you well why they very much I can't and I.
