he can't completely divorce himself from that. in response to some of the countercriticism, you had put out a statement, a campaign statement accusing the romney campaign, governor romney in particular, of being unhinged. you said, "governor romney's comments tonight seemed unhinged and particularly strange coming at a time when he's pouring tens of millions of dollars into negative ads that are demonstrably false." you mean the welfare ad, which critics, politifact, others, we have questioned as well. what did you mean by unhinged? >> well, i think it was important to point out the hypocrisy there. over the course of the past year, governor romney has run almost an entirely negative campaign, tearing down his opponents and after tearing them down, telling them to stop whining. over the past weekend, when he announced his vice presidential selection, he said that he wanted to focus on the economic choice in this election, which the president has been focused on all along. but the other night, he abandoned that pledge and strangely accused the president of running a hateful campaign.
