eric schmidt had been some interesting papers. he had been making the point that so much of the tech industry is project-based learning. google gives people time off to do what they want. they give them time to explore and hang out with other people, outside of the framework of this more structured enterprise. burning man, from the very beginning is project-based learning. it attracts people from every demographic that you can think of, every category. so you have to, potentially, encyclopedic knowledge assembled at this place. and the natural way to learn is project-based. scholarship is fine, academic models can be useful for certain things, but human beings tend to learn by engaging in project- based learning. if you look at the desert -- well, here is an example. i was on a tour for the black rock arts foundation. we went to various studios around the area where artwork was getting ready for la playa. all of the big ones involving armies of people with the various skills. it takes her attacker, a traditional art, overlapping f

he won't be overshadowed by him. >> steve schmidt, you've been through the vice presidential selecting on the republican side. you gave us sarah palin. what did you think of paul ryan's audition for the vp slot tonight? >> well, lawrence, i'm not sure that that qualifies as an audition for it, but i think that he could certainly wind up as one of the people who goes through the vetting process who's on the list, but i think that the mistakes of 2008 will have a big impact in 2012. i think for sure that governor romney is going to run a very tight process that results in someone who is qualified to be president of the united states should they have to take the oath of office from day one. >> chuck todd, is there any mathematical formula left for rick santorum to cling to tonight in the delegate doesn't? >> no, there's not. in fact, tonight, he may not even crack ten zledelegates. tonight our modified winner take all systems began april 1th, the way republicans take their rule. if you carry a congressional district in maryland or wisconsin the way it did, you would win, and if you didn't

joining me now are ezra kline, a "washington post" columnist and msnbc contributor and analyst steve schmidt, former senior adviser to john mccain's 2008 strategist. steve, these numbers are really stunning to me. if you're in the romney campaign and poll numbers like this come in, you have a crisis meeting, don't you? >> well, you have to be very concerned about them. i think first, it answers for all time the question about whether this primary process made him a stronger nominee or a weaker nominee. clearly made him a weaker nominee. and when you look inside those numbers, if they're static, if they don't move, if you can't rebound from them, it means you'll have a very tough time winning the general election against the president. the reality, though, and there is a sliver of good news in all of this for governor romney, is that his ballot strength is outperforming all these character attributes. and if you look at the real clear politics average of all the polls put together, he's trailing the president when they're all averaged together by about three points. i think the floor for both
