if you go back to 1994 and you read the allentown paper the morning call it says santorum and watkins, your opponent, would both require individuals to buy health insurance rather than forcing employers to pay for employee benefits. in 1994, senator, were you for an individual mandate? >> that's flat out wrong. what they got confused was that i was for a plan that phil gramm that said if a employer provided health insurance, that they would have to offer a medical savings account that were now called health savings account program. and they simply got it wrong. i don't think you'll find anywhere else i advocated. in 1994 during the campaign, you'll find that i made the whole point that i was against government mandated health care. i ran against harris wofford, the author of hillary care. one reporter misunderstood what one bill was about. >> the romney campaign is clearly worried about you and put in a conference call today including the minnesota governor tim pawlenty trying to peel away your tea party support by raising your support of earmarks in congress. governor pawlenty said i

bush, george watkins, who's ageless.orter jody kucinich. joey, is maine most important today for romney because it will let him change the narrative from santorum's tuesday's sweep if he wins? >> you're absolutely right, alex. it will represent romney to regain the momentum he's lies at least in the eyes of the pun. this is another primary without delegates to be won, the same as santorum's wins this past week. he didn't win delegates but got a huge surge from having won three primaries in a row this past week. romney theneeds this win today. >> what do you think, jackie, would a romney maine victory erase the memory of the santorum sweep this week, or is there no erasing that? >> the fact we're looking at maine at this point as another primary where delegates aren't going to be awarded just shows how much this romney ship needs to be righted. no, i don't think it erases the santorum sweep, particularly somewhere like colorado where romney went into that contest, last cycle he got 40 more percentage points than john mcca

this is a question from gary watkins in atlanta, georgia.ince you bring up todd combs and ted wechsler, when you are talking about them you say each receives 80% of the performance compensation from his own investment results and 20% from his partners. he assumes if this is so they will help each other. can you elaborate? >> i've seen investment organizations where people are competing with each other. these fellows wouldn't anyway. i do believe in having compensation systems to reinforce the values that we value and we certainly value cooperation among the people doing that sort of thing. performance is defined over a period of time. todd came onboard a year ago and did very well the first year. he didn't come onboard until this year, but from this point forward they will participate with each other. >> andrew, you have a question as well? >> it's on this topic. i'm curious if you imagine bringing on investment managers still. i recall you saying something to the effect of two to three to possibly more than that. do you feel there's no more
