well, the answer is self-deportation, which is people decide they can do better by going home, because they can t find work here. you can t have any illegals working on our property. i m running for office, for pete s sake. for pete s sake, that won t work. i know, send paul ryan to capitol hill to vote on a bogus welfare plan. or take president obama s 14-year-old redistribution comment out of context. none of those seem like winning solutions, so now with the campaign in free-fall, with republicans running from his 47% comments, with the campaign desperately in need of a change, after a string of incredible blunders and months of gaffes, the romney team has a solution, another new strategy. are you ready? the solution is more mitt.
ain t going to work. of course, this is a guy who has become quite familiar with plans not working. remember plan a? he was going to run to fix the economy. from my first day in office, my number-one job will be to see that america once again is number one in job creation. yes, that was the plan. only that didn t stick, because people trust president obama to handle the economy. then he tried plan b. he would go after the female vote, even lining up women at events behind him. but turns out women weren t really buying that either. hmmm. how about latinos? now, at a univision event, he s saying he s not in favor of mass deportation. but that s not working either. maybe it s because of this.
so they picked a popular figure, marco rubio, and they re hoping that somehow or other his personal popularity will translate into them gaining some grouped on the issue. when a campaign gets this granular, when you ve got marco rubio in florida trying to defend the medicare plan. when you take both the presidential and vice presidential candidates and spend three days in it one state, ohio, what you re doing is signalling the problems you have. they have a big problem in florida, a big problem in ohio, a problem all across the battle ground states. and they reluti losing the batt for the definition of this election, in fact they ve lost it, and as i said earlier, they re now playing on the president s turf. bob schrum and carol, thank you both for your time tonight. thanks. ahead, the romney campaign is in trouble and they re rebooting. again. you won t believe their new strategy. plus, to say it s been a bad week for the romney campaign is an understatement. and today more re

we re back on politics nation with a kitchen sink. yep, that s right. just your standard-issue, stainless steel kitchen sink. why am i showing this to you? well, it s because this image defined governor romney s campaign. over the course of this campaign, he has been forced to use everything in the book. but the kitchen sink. he s gone from plan a to b to c to d to e without any sense of core conviction. just a few days ago, we saw him blasting 47% of the nation. but now he is parading a new plan, a plan to help the 100%. my campaign is about the 100% of america, and i m concerned about them. i have 47 reasons why that
