>> scott walker and john casey are the two likely that i see that might get in. there's a lot of people i know for scott walker. >> i think he's terrific. i don't know he's a national candidate. >> those are two successful governor's, states that are swing states, and they've been auditioning on cable tv, so i think they're both interested in being a national candidate. >> there's a big card to play. >> not the governor of alaska. >> walker is the one governor whom i think it go in. >> do you think he can win? >> he's very personalable. >> and he's been a very effective governor. >> is he roman catholic? >> i don't know. >> does she have twins? >> do i have the right guy? >> he's not good on unions. >> paul walker and john casey are both being pushed. >> john casik has twins. >> who can win? >> either one can win this time around, but, again, republicans appreciate seniority. you have to run once to get your name out there and some experience and then you run the second time in order to win. so, what wouldn't surprise me is if they both got it. >> do you think af
