now let's turn to republican senior strategist steve schmitt. he was top dog in the mccain campaign in 2008. steve, welcome back to the show. >> you're welcome, larry. >> i want to ask you about president obama a minute. president obama talking to the uaw says this, my bailouts of the car business saved detroit, saved michigan and saved the economy and steve, we are getting better consumer confidence and we are getting better jobs. the dow is over 13,000. let me just ask you, can obama really be beaten in a better economy? >> well, larry, it's a closely-divided nation. it continues to be, this has been a terrible stretch for the republican candidates and a lot of good things are happening for the president and the real clear politics average has him up about five points over mitt romney and six points over rec santorum. it's a close election, but boy do republicans have some work to do. we are talking about things that are irrelevant to the lives of average americans. we are ceding economic arguments to the president talking about 52-year-old spe

. >>> i'm joined by msnbc contributor and republican strategist steve schmitt, who served as a senior advisor to senator john mccain's presidential campaign and msnbc political analyst richard wolf fchbe, great to have you with us. >> thanks, ed. >> does rick santorum have a realistic path to the nomination right now? how big was last night? >> i think a huge night for him, and it starts to collapse the in evidence itability story line around mitt romney. if you look at the contest right now there has been eight, rick santorum won four, mitt romney won three. rick santorum needs newt gingrich to get out of the race or the voters to collapse his support and come over to him decisively. if there are two candidates splitting the conservative vote, looking ahead at the remaining contest and going on to super tuesday, i think it means that it's big trouble for those candidates. >> what do you make of santorum winning where president obama won? minnesota, iowa, missouri, colorado? i went to the newt gingrich event the other night and they weren't sold on newt in bloomington, minnesota but y

here with my colleagues, steve schmitt, ed schultz, chris matthews, looking at too close to call raceobviously maybe a more interesting result at this point even though not definitive than the arizona result which was widely expected, chris. >> michigan is where it's at tonight. everyone is looking to see whether mitt romney can win in what he cause his native state. for romney to lose in michigan is a big deal we don't know the results yet. the fact it's this close is interesting. >> ed, what is your reaction, too close to call. >> too close to call in michigan, you've got romney leading in three big counties with just 5% of the vote in, leading in oakland, mccomb and also wayne counties, so it's a good start there with just a little bit of the vote in at 5%. as far as arizona goes, i think we're seeing newt gingrich really hurt rick santorum there. that conservative vote was split. if newt gingrich was out of it would have been a lot closer. and i talked to john nichols he was working the arizona market in tucson and phoenix, and there is no doubt that gingrich has hurt santorum in
