you are on with michael warren. caller: good morning. would like this gentleman to sell michael warren to me. he goes to foreign countries and praises socialized health care in other countries, but in his country he tries to demonize a healthcare plan that he modeled in massachusetts. he wants to be president of the united states. if he could give massachusetts good insurance and it is good for that one state, he has 49 other states. why is it so wrong i am a potential voter. you say mitt romney should pick paul ryan. anyone with a brain sees what paul ryan's budget is, hurt seniors with a meals on wheels, mess with social security and make it a block grant. why would someone with a brain in their head, other than the super rich, what mitt romney -- want mitt romney to be president or a dog catcher? guest: on your first point about health care, this is a problem for mitt romney. he advocated for the individual mandate in massachusetts. this is something he felt strongly about. conservatives and republicans moved to the right on this issu

warren running. so that's what it seems to me all this panic is about, from ann coulter and everyone else. >> well, that gets to the point that michaelt made, that, yes, he -- akin has blown it from the republicans' perspective, blown the senate race in missouri, but it's sort of the infectious nature of other race, and keep in mind, the very first sitting senator to jump out there and say that todd akin needed to get out of the race, needed to resign from the race was scott brown. and the moment i saw that come across, you instantly thought, oh, he's -- that's right. he's running for re-election in a tight race against elizabeth warren, and you better believe that she and the democrats were going to use that against scott -- against scott brown in that race there. the republicans are in a whole world of trouble here, which is why you're seeing the entire republican establishment just unload on congressman akin. but the problem that they're having is, they're beating up on him for having positions that they say are offensive and wrong and demeaning, but they were perfectly fine with all of that when he didn't open his mouth and actua
