If Romney we find about the pick up a key endorsement from Tea Party favorite Michelle Bachmann she will join Romney.

On the trail today what all of that do for him former presidential candidate Herman Cain is here to talk about it he's got a brand new book it's -- of all things 999.

But then the sub title an army of Davids Herman -- live in Atlanta your hometown good morning to -- -- and welcome back.

Good morning bill -- to be yeah we're gonna see Michelle Bachmann and about 45 minutes what -- you get endorsed Mitt Romney or are you.

Well I think my actions speak louder than a word for the last several weeks I've been talking about.

Mitt Romney is the presumptive nominee my weekly commentary that people can find it Herman -- dot com talks about.

Nine bad decisions go figure that Obama made that Mitt Romney would make.

And I've always they had billed as you know.

That whoever the nominee is I will get solid -- behind him so I have been speaking on -- helping to unify the party.

Behind -- -- -- I can understand that and I don't think -- actions do speak louder but but I mean it's a simple word or words or phrase I endorse.

Why not go there or are you saving that for a date later.

Let's say that I'm -- that -- -- secondly.

I don't want to steal a representative Bachmann stop there because she's gonna do formal endorsement today.

Look at my actions is what I'm basically saying and I think people are hearing -- -- my actions and my speeches and my commentary is that I'm doing on behalf of it what do you think of Michelle Bachmann Michelle Bachmann endorsement does for this round.

I think it sends a message that.

She has gotten past that it.

The Republican primary campaign like I have -- Newt Gingrich and like all the the other candidates other than Ron Paul.

We've gotten past that.

And I think that as time goes on.

That's going to -- -- healing so I think it makes a statement about.

The ability of the Republican Party and the Republican presidential candidates to come together so I'm delighted to see that just like I've been out you know promoting.

A Mitt Romney admitted that things that I know he would not do in addition to some of the things that he would do.

As president but you've been a critic of Mitt Romney's to a degree Michelle Bachmann has to when it comes -- health care in Massachusetts.

How how is that particular issue ironed out.

I think is that now this plea deal Mitt Romney who say it several times he will repeal Obama care.

So the -- people continue to focus on Romney care I think it's merely a distraction.

Mean it has stated doing the debates he would say that after that he will repeal obamacare he will leave that fight.

And so I think that that's what we should focus on rather than.

The fact that he was involved with about Romney care guard Doug the other thing your focus on is this healing just mentioned that your second or -- if there.

You met with Mitt Romney about a week ago I understand.

Know yet what sort of impression did you take away -- -- Well the first impression is he preferred the Turkey sandwich and I preferred -- chicken see the sound -- are welcome headline that but that's what imperative got -- out of work.

The impression I got was -- one.

He is open to he recognizes that there has to be some healing after this very tough all primary process.

And he was very receptive to that in fact he and his staff.

Know that they have to do some things secondly he recognizes that in order to help bring the party together.

It's gonna have to be built around ideas.

Now I haven't got him to embrace not mad mad yet but -- -- a lot of work on it.

But he has sharpened his message and I think a lot of people don't see it that they've started to see that already.

And then the other thing that impressed me about meet with -- it is that he is listening.

He's -- -- -- listened to a lot of different perspectives and -- to help.

About defeat Barack Obama so I walked out of the meeting optimistic about his.

But his willingness to not only listen to people but to embrace some of these other good ideas that I OK -- words only short of an endorsement quickly -- the sub title of your book an army of Davids what does that -- yet.

Well Washington DC is broken and this nation is broke and the American people of going up against -- like.

And sold this book.

Addresses problem biggest domestic problem the economy but it's gonna take an army of -- it's mainly the people.

That's don't know fullest changed from the bottom up and that's last subtitled marble man and that an army air date it's because we give people a don't have to force major change and watch it and you can buy that book for how much.
