rush limb balk -- limbaugh, fox news, matt drudge, all of those were just beginning to gather steam and approach critical mass in the late '90s. so at regnery we leveraged that explosion of conservative media, um, and what we were trying to do and be have tried to do since is to find, shape, promote the best conservative books in the country so that they would be successful. and in this case that means not only we could sell millions of copies of books, but also we would have an impact on the national discourse. i tell you all of this not to below our own horn -- blow our own horn, but to remind you that a book publisher, especially a successful book publisher, is a megaphone. we assure that authors like donald trump and newt gingrich and michelle malkin can leverage their already high profile to really make a lasting impression on millions of americans. and i think we also help those lesser known authors, men and women, who are not yet household names to reach a much broader audience. um, and i'm often reminded that when you hold a megaphone, you have a special responsibility. i remind

rush limbaugh was very defensive about mitt romney. i think we'll see a lot of members of congress come out for him. i think he'll announce a big fund-raising total for the fourth quarter. >> how about the numbers, john? 39% for mitt romney here. we talked about getting to 40%. 39 is a strong number. >> it's a really strong number. think back to 2008. you had john mccain had about 37% of the vote. john mccain, a favorite in new hampshire, mitt romney exceeded his vote total and percentage of the vote. barack obama had 35% or 36% in 2008. in some ways mitt romney did better than that. it's an apples to apples comparison. it was a six-race in 2008 for the republicans, six-way race this time. it's a strong day. i think the over/under was probably about 5 or 36. romney back in 2008 got 31% of vote, so he's 8 points higher than last time around. you know, i think there's not an expectation that he did not meet or exceed. that's as much part of the game here as collecting the win itself. he had so many people expected him to win here, postin
