battle. not a suicide campaign but i difficult campaign. he took credit for the fact that he forced him to mortgage his game to protect incumbency. he lost that. began running for president. he ran for governor, of course. he served one term. his poll numbers were very low. there was very good reasons to indicate he didn't run for reelection because he wasn't going to get re-elected. what's wrong with admitted he's been a career politician having been in electoral pursuits? why keep pretending he's not a politician? >> you got to decide whether you want to attack him for being a career politician or attack him for all the successes he had as a crier private sector guy. how can you be a career both? you guys don't know which way to go and which way to go after him. he's a career private sector guy that understood how to create jobs, took it to massachusetts for a period of time and went back to the private sector. now he's running for president.
