looking at those numbers of any vp pick in a dozen years. now here is a different view. abc/ washington post poll had a more positive outlook. here it was. 38% viewed the pick favorably. 33% had a negative reaction to romney naming paul ryan. those polls were taken over the weekend. i wonder if he s losing the glitz and the pep of the weekend. that speech i saw this morning looked like the old romney again. chris, i think the way it looks to me at this point, if i m talking to people from both parties, the risk for mitt romney is the worst of all possible worlds. he excited the base. no question. he excited the tea party and the rest of the conservative republican base with the pick of paul ryan. and now the question is going to be how loyal is he to it? how whetted is he to it? he s going to get attacked for it anyway. he can say anything he wants on 60 minutes. the two of them can do any dance they want in front of bob
like me like it and happy two or three days and then back to the same old romney campaign that won t work. this needs to be the first card that is being played in a veer reese of cards where he makes this a big campaign about the future. you have to embrace the choice. there is always a myth if you could just win a quote referendum on the last four years. voters know they are voting about the next four years and he has to clare tie what the choice is for the next four years. the real danger here, i agree with what bill saying, he starts looking like he is trying to back away from the ryan plan and there is signs he may be trying to do that, that starts now playing into the whole flip flopper and other things that people are attacks or people wondered about about romney. this pick could end up being devastating if he pulls back doesn t embrace this and really push forward it could be a big, big problem. and liz, you are shaking your head and senator bayh, you are nodding your head
if he pake - makes the pick and we are happy two or three days and back to the same old romney campaign, that will not work. it is the first card where it is a campaign about the future. you have to embrace the choice. there is always a myth you could win on a referundum. voters are not stupid. they want to know about the next four years. the real danger, i agree with what bill is saying. if he looks like he is backing away from the romney ryan plan that plays in the flip flopper and other things people wondered about romney. this could be devastating. if he pulls back and doesn t embrace this and it could be a problem. liz is shake her head.
that s all that s necessary for people to understand something about my finances. mitt romney playing defense on taxes, bain capital outsourcing, and his bank accounts. republicans are urging him to fight back and please his supporters. in old romney quotation, if you re responding, you re losing. while he plans to spend the weekend in new hampshire with his family, president obama will continue to hammer romney on exactly on when he left bain capital. james, not at a good week for the romney campaign. no, it wasn t, but let me tell you something. john mccain saw 23 years of those tax returns and it forced him to pick sarah palin so, maybe we don t want to look at it. he was quoted in 2008. the arizona republic asked for it and he said because i m a pack rat, i happen to have them. we know they re sitting somewhere. is he going to get away with it?
in tonight s rewrite, another episode of who s the real american? tonight s contestants are barack obama and mitt romney and tonight s category is sport. the romney sport dates back to 400 bc with a multi-national heritage that isn t even remotely american. it was invented by the greeks and given a french name dressage. and this is mitt romney we re talking about, so he doesn t actually play the sport himself, he hires someone to do it for him. and that someone rides the dressage horse that mitt romney owns, a horse that just might be taking mitt romney back to the olympics. the old romney luck continues. the romney s horse might go to the olympics! though one would imagine, it s going to be a long drive to london on top of their station wagon. now, their horse, refalca is competing at the united states equestrian federation national dressage championships in gladstone, new jersey, as if you don t know from your equestrian
