You think about it, only a few years ago, it was down to, what, 6,500 and now it's more than double --</s>SYLVESTER: And for 401(k) plans, too, Wolf. I think a lot of people are happy about that for their 401(k).</s>BLITZER: Let's see what happens in the coming months. We'll watch it closely. Lisa, thank you. Jack Cafferty is here with "The Cafferty File" -- Jack.</s>CAFFERTY: The question this hour is what is Mitt Romney's biggest problem. He came in third in Alabama and Mississippi yesterday. Chic writes, "Biggest problem -- he's been chosen by the GOP elite and the media, just like John McCain was and then we lost. This time the voters are determined to have our say, and we say he's no conservative. Go home, Mitt." Terry in Blountville, Tennessee, "Mitt Romney might be more likable if he didn't seem so phony. Don't come to southern states and say yaw, I had cheesy grits for breakfast and expect to fit in. He tries to fit in every situation and fits in nowhere." Austin writes from Texas, "Mitt Romney has no problems, it's a primary election. He's doing better than the field. Once he gets nominated, I think he has the best chance of beating President Obama." Lisa writes from Long Island, "It's his judgment. Jack, the judgment of someone who puts his dog on the roof of the car and keeps his luggage in the back." Tom in New York, "Mitt Romney, he's offering to lead America and he doesn't know anything about America, an alien from East Podunk, Mars would have an easier time relating." Johnny on Facebook writes, "Why aren't most of you talking about the elephant in the room? Evangelicals will never vote for a Mormon for president." Bill writes, "Romney's past clearly reveals a moderate, too moderate for too many conservatives." And Ed in Maryland writes, "The thought of a dog being strapped on top of Air Force One."
