up. a brand-new obama campaign on-line video prominently featuring yesterday s sunday front page with this headline, ryan could hurt romney in florida. an hour from now, in saint augustine, romney will be at an event. senator marco rubio is expected to be there, who was on the short list. they were then supposed to go from saint augustine together, now just going to be remain knee to orlando. because of the vp announcement over the weekend that shaked up the campaign. by 5:00 o clock, romney does resume his campaign event in miami at a latin hot spot targeting the all important hispanic vote in southwest miami. there you will certainly see supporters on hand hearing one of romney s new lines like this. there is no question that if you follow the campaign of barak obama, he s going to do
could hurt romney in florida. absolutely. paul ryan may not be universally known but what everybody knows is medicare. in a state like florida that has a large elderly population, medicare is a key issue. when you see how they play it, the very first video that they ve put out, the very first web ad against paul ryan as the v.p. pick is interviews with people in florida. they go across and have a cross section of people talking about paul ryan ending medicare. uh-huh. that s going to be a huge and a really powerful argument in that state and i actually think it s telling that on the first trip to florida ryan didn t go because that would have been his golden opportunity to confront the issue. it s not an issue of having a pleasant messenger. the message itself is going to be problematic in florida. my thanks to all of you, thanks. we ve been apart for too long. sarah palin was part of the 2008 republican convention and she won t be this time around. why republicans won t even
always be grateful for mexico allowing mitt romney s great-grandfather to define marriage in a far more liberal way than the american way, and save him from being an american marriage criminal. the one defender mitt romney has on his tax returns is the man who has almost as much money as mitt. the obama people don t want romney s tax returns released so they can find out if they re aboveboard. it doesn t matter what they say. they re going to be mischaracterized and used to hurt romney. romney s right to hang in tough on this. joy reid, it s down to rush. that s what romney has as a defender on tax trends, the guy who has made maybe a couple hundred million dollars himself. indeed. and the ad that you showed before with mitt romney s son, it kind of reminded me of like my tenth grade spanish class,
fight with lyndon johnson over medicare and the words he used was that it would compel all americans to spend their sunset years telling their children and their children s children how it was when men were free, and that is what it is like. and however, medicare has been sustained and approved, but the public sentiment lay ahead. one thing we have not gotten and what the president has been trying to do today which as you say is to make a clear understanding of what this bill is about. because lincoln said with public sentiment nothing can fail and without it nothing can succeed. so without it, he who encourages it, will continue. and so that is the battle of the louise ads with president clinton, and so that is the side that americans have to come down on. thank you, doris kearns goodwin. just a little past the hour, and the supreme court has upheld the sweeping health care reform law proposed by president obama. i m candy crowley. in a 5-4 decision, the court upheld the i
because this is another aspect of the gop base that he is being pressured by democrats to come out and repudiate. he s kept his distance so far from this. as we saw with the reverend wright prospective ad that was going to be coming out this week, that was something that he eventually felt he needed to put his foot down. this is something he s still keeping at arm s length. but it does not put the gop in a good light when looking at things nationally. this is interesting, perry, that newt gingrich is speaking this weekend at the state gop convention in columbus, ohio. he says the obama camp s attacks on romney over his time at bain capital will not work. he said, quote, that dog won t hunt. ultimately how effective do you think this line after attack could be against mitt romney? we ve seen two examples of it working. in 1994 when romney ran against ted kennedy, kennedy focus add lot on the bain capital issue, hurt romney. earlier in this campaign, gingrich actually mentioned the b
