Round Table on ABC, Battleground Michigan -
John Engler, former MI Gov - Romney’s strength - he’s able to go the long haul. Dems’ can vote in the polls, their votes would go to Santorum.
Granholm former MI gov. - MI, not a winner take-all, Santorum will pick up a significant amount of delegates
Panelists all agree that the candidates have moved so far right, they will have a problem getting the swing votes in the general.
George Will - TP viewpoint - This is an election about limited govt, and Mitt Romney is on the other side.
Cokie - women’s vote is an economic vote along with every other voter.
George Will points out how bad the economy is with real numbers....George Step. interrupts and asks George Will, “Isn’t it the trend that matters?....politically?”
George continues to push the philosophy that if the economy seems to be moving in the right direction, how can Repub’s really criticize or use that?
