john mccain likes mitt romney and do a close up of megan. >> come here. >> john mccain likes mitt romneys mitt romney and cindy mccain likes mitt romney and the whole mccain family likes mitt romney. >> is the pill you take -- >> do you want to hear why i like him? he came on the road with us. >> romney voters don't like mitt romney. >> the thing i found out about him, i had the opportunity obviously to get to know him personally and he's quite likeable and charming. >> he's like a robot. >> no, he's not. he's not at all that's not the conversation that took place. if he had endorsed santorum, i would be like slitting my wrist on the table right now. >> he could have -- >> i don't think that's appropriate. that's lax courage not to get behind someone. i find it quite lacking courage the people that refuse to do it. >> did you get to the studio early enough to hear at the beginning of the discussion, is the mccain endorsement worth much this time around? because both parties hate their losers. i heard democrats say the most awful things about john kerry after he lost the presidency by lik

earmarks are gateway to corruption. >> i'm joined now by daily beast columnist and msnbc contributor megan mccainalso we'll point out the daughter of senator john mccain. megan, it is great to have you here. also i want to talk to you about coming off the heels of the governor's interview. your father has really been vocal in the support of mitt romney at least in support of him now. so how do you think that's going to carry in the state of south carolina especially getting the endorsement of nikki haley who is a tea party favorite? >> i think nothing but fantastic. my father won in south carolina. he won in new hampshire. there has been some criticism of him but he is still the last nominee for president. he is still sort of a lion in the senate and very well respected. it can do nothing but help mitt romney. >> by all accounts this will be an awkward relationship for people that are political junkies. certainly people even casual observers who watched in '08 to know it was a real slugfest for your dad to get the nomination. >> the thing about politics is you can be brutal enemies one day and th

i don't know anything more than adorable than megan mccain.something awesome. >> i can write whatever i want. i have no problem with the type of things written if they were out of office. some enot come of privacy. i'm not saying the obama. i'm a republican. but they deserve some small emoticon of privacy. >> greg: that is now my favorite phrase of all time. i realize she wanted to say modicum, but emoticon is such a better word. awesome. >> eric: smiley face. >> greg: starting a website. emoticon of privacy. >> andrea: she didn't read the phonetics part. you have to share something adorable. perhaps more adorable is my new birthday present. a phone to plug in my blackberry. this way i don't have the electrowaves in my brain and i don't get brain cancer. it looks cool. >> bob: i like it. i could carry that, too. it comes out of the top of my -- >> dana: i wonder if it was f it was funded by the stimulus. this is something that bob and eric would be interested in. it turns out kim kardashian who last year was in that sketcher's ad. that was rac

. >> you're 47, 45% so mccain comes in and gets you 47.1. the point that i think megan's point is exactly it. it's reinforcing the obvious and it's to your point the next step to south carolina and florida, it's not very popular in that part of the country so -- >> michael, you know that nobody doubts john mccain will win new hampshire. >> you mean mitt romney. >> mitt romney. i'm having a flash back right now. mitt romney is going to win new hampshire but that is not the issue. the question is how much does he win by. we judge the wins by expectations so mitt romney not only needs to win but needs to win bit a big margin and john mccain will add some points. >> he is facing his doubles partner is newt gingrich -- his opponents on the doubles team is newt gingrich and presumably rick santorum. one of my favorite lines was if you take -- no, sorry, that's the wrong one. gingrich has a talent for creating temporary allies and lifelong enemies. his former colleagues have been more likely to denounce him than to endorse him. it sounds like john mccain and mitt romney have no

mccain was on yesterday. what is on his ipod? i think that is kind of cool. >> i really don't. i want to know what's on megan's? >> i bet he has an ipod and i bet he has interesting music. next time he's on, we're going to feature his music. excuse me, peanut m&ms for breakfast. circling the dream. you saw this picture of the governor jan brewer kind of having it out with president obama. we have the video, but there is a photo, as well. maybe one of you guys can grab a newspaper for me so we can show that in a little bit. she has her finger basically in the face of the president. the president arrived in phoenix on air force one and then they had this tense encounter. she said it was triggered by her book which was called "scorpions for breakfast" she said the president was disturbed by the meeting they had in the white house in the book and she said the president is thin skinned. listen. >> he, he changed the subject to my book "scorpions for breakfast" and was a little bit dis disenchanted, if you will, of how he was portrayed in the book. i believe when he was in the conversation i was in the middle of the
