murdoch? >> i think mr. murdoch is an outspoken businessman who would like to see a republican candidate more in the vein of chris christie. mr. murdoch and the chairman of fox news, who was a nixon campaign type way back when, they like politicians who are out there and like to deliver the smart punch right in the nose. mr. romney is not that kind of candidate and so i think that that's what is being expressed there. the broader point is about business people whether they are media folks or in other fields who are being much more expressive right now. i think on the one hand, some of them, the earlier guests said they want to be stars. that's probably where sheldon adelson is giving $40 million to the super pacs. but i think there is also a real underlying concern on the part of business leaders in this country about the direction of the country. in tha sense, i believe that we are having the kind of -- it may not be pretty or civilized, but we're having the kind of conversation about the future of the coun
