let's start with this endorsement from jan brewer. there's not really a consensus on what endorsements really mean anymore but can you put this in context for us? >> you're right. endorsements tend to be a little overblown. this is a good pick-up for mitt romney. there are conservatives as we know in this country who are skeptical of mitt romney. jan brewer as you said is a very conservative governor who's put immigration at the top of her agenda. as you know she signed the tough immigration crackdown bill last year. this gives conservatives who might be skeptical of mitt romney a little bit of a comfort zone, a little bit of a blessing to go to the polls and vote for him, but also, you know, no politician at this level makes an endorsement like this without some level of personal calculation. you have to think that jan brewer has seen some polling perhaps, knows mitt romney is probably a safe bet, a lot of political observers think it's trending in mitt romney after rick santorum had a tough debate in mesa the other night. it's a goo

let's start with the jan brewer question. what might this endorsement do for mitt romney?> well, mitt's already in the lead out here. he's obviously leading in all the polls. rick santorum kind of made a run at him here over the last couple of weeks. we're seeing more polls showing mitt pulling ahead after the cnn debate and jan brewer is the latest of the republican establishment out here. he had the endorsement of our attorney general, our secretary of state, and a number of other high ranking republican officials. so mitt had a real campaign out here, really for months now. and rick has not, i think mitt has it locked up out here in arizona. >> having said that, would you think that mitt romney would have a bigger lead than he does? >> well, yes. and that's, i think, going on all around the country is that there is this concern among a lot of conservatives about mitt romney and his real bona fides and whether or not they can trust him to actually be a conservative governor or a conservative president once he's elected. >> let's talk about what -- in addition to immigrat

jan brewer, always brave, always classy. if you believe the polls, mitt romney has a prohibitive lead in arizona right now. but if you believe the curse, maybe jan brewer endorsing him might turn it around. having the arizona republican establishment on your side has not actually been a good omen in that state's republican politics recently the biggest thing that happened in politics last year the recall of the most powerful republican in the state. now the most powerful republican politician in arizona has not been the governor, the head of the state senate, russell pierce. he is no longer in the arizona state senate because he was successfully recalled from office by his district's voters in november. that is after he championed the state's paper's anti-immigrant law. he was the first arizona lawmaker ever recalled from office. he was the most power full guy in the state but turfed him out. he wasn't replaced by a granola eating sympathizer, just a normal republican. his district was disgusted by them, but they are a repub
