i think that chris christie would be a very tough challenger for romney, absent christie, i think it's hard not to see romney getting it. the thing is, romney would be a very credible candidate. i agree with you, there is a tea party issue. i think more fundamentally there's sort of a flip-flop issue that in a way romney, as a governor, has been, i think, a better leader than romney as a candidate. and that is his difficulty, is how does he persuade people he is actually authentic when so far he's been running against his record of i think some significant accomplishments. >> i presume you hate his accomplishments. >> no. obviously -- and it isn't just the tea party. conservatives are never wild about the republican candidate with the exception of ronald reagan. i think they've had a problem with all of them. >> but to be fair -- >> romney care definitely concerned me. >> at the time it was seen as bob dole's health care plan. it was newt gingrich supported, enthusiastically supported the individual mandate. something has changed. people decided if obama likes it, it must be evil. >> n
