romney did this, huckabee did this, a lot of republican governors the did this. this was a republican policy. this obama travesty of justice that would be overturned by the blunt amendment, this was a republican idea, for years! so the problem is not that mitt romney flubbed the question, when he said he didn't think employers should be able to deny coverage for birth control. the problem is that he was stating what the republican position was on this for years when he flubbed it. republicans like mitt romney and mike huckabee were for mandating birth control coverage before they were against it. and yet today, every single republican in the united states senate except one said that they, too, were against this. republicans even like scott brown of massachusetts, who is trying really hard to appear moderate, scott brown voted today to allow employers to deny birth control coverage to their employees. your boss gets to decide whether your health insurance covers contraception. but scott brown, as a state senator, voted for the exact opposite thing. when he was a s

this is how birth control works that mitt romney told mike huckabee he would like to make illegal. when he said he supports a life begins at conception constitutional amendment. >> that what is we tried to explain with the man cave diagram, right? way back in the day. mitt romney doesn't understand what contraception is and he's running for president. rush limbaugh doesn't understand what it is and he is reveling about the nation being outraged. president obama, he made national news by calling the woman rush limbaugh has been calling a slut and prostitution, calling that woman before she went on andrea mitchell thereby weighing in the dispute. does president obama understand are what contraception is and how it works? i don't know, i kind of assume he does but the point is that there is a difference between the two parties on the issue right now. and it may be doesn't matter if he gets it. because he's not and the democrats aren't playing doctor on this issue. they are not saying that the government should be the ones who make the decisions about contraception and how your lady pa

. >> steve, when your candidate john mccain was up against mike huckabee and mitt romney and fred thompson and the rest of those guys in 2008, why was a smaller proportion of the electorate for those races a white evangelical elect toran than we're seeing this year? >> i think as we're looking at the accumulation, rachel of exit data from all these states, we don't have a clear enough picture yet to make diagnosis about exactly what is going on in the electorate. but when you look in the president's numbers, there is a couple of polls that show his support level shrinking as well, you look at the republican voter, and the negative intensity that they have for the president, one of the highest groups with the highest negative intentionity is white evangelicals and that could be driving turnout in these republican primaries which is ultimately a good sign for the republican candidates in terms of being able to put the party together. you want to have an enthusiastic electorate for you, the next best thing to that is an enthusiastic electorate against the other guy you see a dynamic where the

i can remember polls in the start of 2011 where you'd start adding up whether it was trump or huckabee or palin. we'd add up the conservative tea party evangelical vote and look at romney and say, wow, if they could ever coalesce around one candidate, maybe that would do mitt romney. they've never been able to do that. here we're seeing for the first time, illinois will be the test of this i think, the opportunity for conservatives to coalesce around one alternative, rick santorum, to have one clear shot at romney in illinois. i wonder in adelson looks at that and says, maybe i don't want my guy in the sideline. >> sure, i don't want to call to question in exactly this way. it's fascinating. steve kornacki, senior writer with salon.com and msnbc political analyst. yay. we're all very excited about. steve, thank you. >> sure. >>> not a lot of talk among alabama and mississippi republicans tonight about voter fraud in these primaries. that's funny because voter fraud has been freaking republicans out nationwide and in alabama and mississippi for more than a year. which is funny because b
