they re working clint eastwood hard. they ve got that guy doing a lot of ads. give him a break. seven states, i understand, mike? that s right. that s right. and just as morning joe viewers were the first to see the president s agenda booklet yesterday, this is the first time that ad has been seen anywhere. and american crossroads said they made it after they realized that despite all the terrible media coverage of clint eastwood s appearance at the republican convention, that in the hall, it was very well received. stephen lawe who s the head of american crossroads was there and saw it. it got introduced to eastwood. so they taped this last month at his home in california. they focus grouped it in florida and ohio and said it tested off the charts with the voters they were trying to reach. so this is a little bit of vindication for clint eastwood, and it s a little vindication for the romney folks who put him on the convention program and got so much bad press for that.
important because right now, what the republicans are trying to do, mark halperin, is wage a campaign where they say barack obama is a welfare president, the food stamps president. he wants to reward people for not working. he wants to reward people for not getting married. he wants to reward people for ab bore rent behavior. and last night, i thought michele obama was more convincing than i ve seen either obama over the past four or five years in connecting their story to my family s story. i think that happened all over america. if we aren t just here for fun, if there is a possibility you could use your convention program to give yourself a better chance to win the election, i don t think there s any doubt that the first lady s speech was as productive for their mission as possible, particularly on this issue of the middle class. how does the president try to trump the bad economy that he s presided over? one big way is to say, for growing the country, for growing the middle class
