missouri. you think i got it slid into my southern dialect, right? no. i was not born in st. louis. born in nashville, tennessee, a little town side of nashville. that is where i grew up, went to high school, met and married my husband. moved back to st. louis where i lived part of my life. i heard people saying missouri and missouri. what is the correct pronunciation of our new home? the best place to go when you want information is where? >> [inaudible]. >> of course, we all know that. i went to the library and the librarian gave me a wonderful book and began a life long friendship with the librarian. missouri is the native american pronunciation. in their language it is the people of the big boats. one word means all of that. missouri. frenchman who came up the mississippi river. they said that would be a great place to have a trading post. they set up a trading post and called it st. louis. missouri became missouri. now i ask you which is correct? missouri or missouri? >> missouri. okay. neither one.

southern states. caucuses in kansas and missouri, we're talking about. there's a period of hurt for romney unless he can win ohio, and the symbolism is such that he doesn't have to win it by more than a vote. whoever wins this is going to have a big leg going forward in the next ten days. >> that's excellent information for both of you. thanks for sharing that with us. it's an important point that mark is making about the calendar going-forward. alabama, mississippi and kansas and missouri. wait, didn't missouri just vote? yes, missouri had a fake vote. they had a vote they couldn't get off the state statutes that they were required to hold a primary, the republicans in the state said, don't hold any attention to what the results are here, when rick santorum won it anyway. he said pay a lot of attention to what the votes are. they're going to have to hold their caucus. you have to think rick santorum has some wind in his sales heading into missouri, if only because he won the fake vote there not long ago. martin bashir from msnbc is with us. he's been wa
