wagner, host of msnbc top rating now with alax wagner show and jonathan capehart for the washington post. good afternoon. karen, we couldn't think of what to buy mrromney for his birthday because what do you buy for a man that has everything and $250 million. if you look at the washington postpolling, it has romney ahead of the president. do you think he will get two belated birthday presents from alabama and mississippi tomorrow? >> it sounds like me might get one. the pander fest that's been coming out of his mouth has been pretty stunning. cheesy grits and southern belle hugs. having jeff foxworthy there along with him, he should have just shut up. what he is is not what the voters want. that's why he hasn't been able to seal the deal. the problem he's gotten is, he may pull out a win. the problem will continue to be even as we have seen over the last week, every one of these instances reenforces the thing that they don't like about him. he changings his stripes based on who he is standing next to. he's still not going to be able to seal the deal with the party. >> alex. at least rick santorum is being candid with the electorate. he said some
