hang on donnie. the >>the blood is in the water and the sharks are bipartisan. >>you got a bone to pick with that? fun... indulgence... one square inch of bliss. hershey's bliss. >> welcome back to the war room. when we started an hour ago, we were at a dead heat, and right now. looks like mitt romney has a 4-point lead on rick santorum with 50% of the precincts reporting. you can see this breakdown has gone exactly the way many of us had thought, a lot of red in the west, red is santorum purple is romney. this part right here is the big surprise to me anyway most of the upper peninsula being santorum. the young turks are next as part of young t.v.'s michigan and arizona primaries. we are going to be back at midnight eastern, 9:00 p.m. pacific. you want to keep it right here on current tv for wall-to-wall primary coverage. thank you for joining us. we will see you in a couple of hours. thanks so much.

donnie pointed this out. i think that's a really important statistic because this area is so solid for romney. the rest of the state obviously leaned more for santorum. the del gant count is interesting. for our viewers it's a rural area, not super populated but sort of split because this whole district is the first. you have this top half here going for romney and upper peninsula for santorum. this district is actually in play. they are going to count it. of course, the way it breaks down is that there is two delegates per congressional district and each district is a winner-take-all. >> the electoral college. >> win the popular vote and lose the election. >> right now we are not sure. we think that romney has about five of the districts. we think santorum has four for sure. but this first congressional district is in play. ironically, this right in here this is -- that is the fourth congressional district. >> that's also in play. the districts that are in play are the first, the fourth even though that look

>> donny what did you learn? three-piece brother. >> chuck, don't do it, no. >> regardless of what donny deutsch looks like the age of disco was killed in 1979. stay like you are. >> nobody likes an old time referee like regis. >> love him. >> he was awesome. >> the president is indeed in the driver's seat. >> there he is. >> that's all i have to say. >> and i learned that mitt romney was willing today, i was hopeful about, this willie, to talk about entitlements and the need to do some very concrete things that aren't politically popular, that's a good step. maybe if he drops one verse of singing "america the beautiful" and talks more about entitlement reform

less donny, more reverend al.ust a week after his three states, rick santorum taking shape on a national level. four different polls shows the former pennsylvania senator either slightly ahead or in a statistical tie with mitt romney. it is easily santorum's strongest showing of the race so far. this is really interesting story. new cnn opinion research poll suggests 55% of those backing santorum say they strongly support their candidate. the polling shows romney supporters are less enthusiastic. but when it comes to electability, romney still dominates the republican field 55% think the former massachusetts governor has the best chance of beating president obama. only 18% say santorum is the most likely to win in a general election. >> and of course, the pro-romney people aren't just taking this lying down. the super pac is not taking any chances. they're releasing an ad in upcoming states, arizona, michigan, and they're going to really start hammering rick santorum. let's take a look. >> how did rick santorum ac

is donny right?itt romney used money to vaporize newt gingrich who had momentum coming out of south carolina and destroyed him in the state of florida. can he do that to santorum now over the next 11 days in michigan? >> to a certain extent, but santorum is having his super pac going up on the air waves. michigan's a lot different than florida because florida's a pure air war, big media markets, ten media markets, you have to be on tv there. santorum can go to detroit like he did yesterday, have a great message on manufacturing and catch on, maybe not compete as much on the air, but he will be able to resinate and really have some fire, i think, in michigan in a way you couldn't in florida if you don't have the money in the bank. >> mike, i want to ask you about the massachusetts senate race, the race that will get the most attention out of all of these. new poll shows republican senator scott brown with a nine-point lead now over elizabeth warren, the democratic contender. it's a suffolk university

i'm thinking through donnie wahlberg's lens.officers we work with and got to understand how important it is. if you have a gun in the home, which a lot of police officers do and you go out to work or you go to the ball game or whatever. you leave your gun at home locked up somewhere. if your kids get curious and go snooping around on their own, that's when tragedies happen. if you have a gun in the home, you have to do it. ironically, when we were shooting ha scene, the day we shot that scene, as i said i was nervous about. our technical adviser, a new york city detective got called home. he had to leave the set. his son found the box. >> it happened that day. >> i went, i said hey, i got to talk to you about this scene. he said, it just happened to me. it happened in real life while we were shooting. >> generating conversation tonight. >> in the scene shall the kid you're with, what was it like for that child too? it's one thing as an adult but when you're the kid. >> he was excite today do the scene. we got a cool scene togeth

donny, you have worked on a lot of media campaigns for candidates.campaign that was waged in florida, which we can project forward, 92% of the ads that were aired were negative ads. how does this help democracy? >> it doesn't help in the least. from a strategic point of view negative ads work, so for your campaign they are good. for democracy they sour voters. they depress turnout and leave every politician ever candidate who go through the process muddied up. >> if you had a product in the private sector if gm started to take out ad lambasting toyota what would the car consumer want to do? just buy a bike, right? >> right. so politicians aren't there the day after the election ford, gm, honda are still there year of year. so they can't do this slash and burn strategy. >> don't you think that this issue about the super pacs and how much money is going into it that democrats and republicans, and i'm looking at you now could come together and say we need to have a constitutional amendment or some way to change that? >> absolutely. and if you look at th

i'm thinking from my lens, through donnie wahlberg's lens.ome of the police officers, i understood how important it is. if you have a gun in the home, pwhich a lot of police officers do, and your kids get curious and snoop around on their own, that's when tragedies happen. if you do have a gun in the home, you really have to do it. ironically, when we were shooting that scene, the day we shot that scene -- and as i said, i was a little nervous about doing the scene. our technical advisor, who's a retired new york city detective, got called home. he had to leave the set because his son found his gun box. it important it fortunately had a combination. i said, i have to talk to you about this scene. he said, no, no. n no. i got to go. >> in the scene, the kid that you're with, what was it like for that child too? that's really -- it's one thing as an adult, but when you're the kid. >> i think for him, he was really excited to do the scene. >> guess what i did today? >> we got a cool scene together. for me, i have a 10-year-old boy. every time i
