real issues people care about. bret: mitt romney talking to our own carl cameron today, talking about the tone and te nowhere of this debate tenor of the debate as the substance has been about outsourcing and his time at bain capital, whether he left in 1999. yesterday, we brought you the comments of stephanie cutter, campaign staffer with the obama campaign. today, mitt romney reacted to those as well. either mitt romney through his own words and his own signature was misrepresenting his position at bain to the sec, which is a felony or he was misrepresenting his position athe american people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments. it s ridiculous. and, of course, it s beneath the dignity of the presidency and of his campaign. he really needs to rein in his team and take responsibility for what they are saying. this is really absurd.

country. the obama campaign has ads that focus on jobs as it attacks romney for the role at the investment firm bain capital. i know how jobs are created. but as a corporate raider, shipped jobs to china and mexico. michelle obama was on the campaign trail today in colorado. warning supporters not to be overconfident. this election will be closer than the last one. this is going to come down to the last few thousand people. we register to vote at will. today the obama campaign said it expects the president to be the first incumbent ever to be outspent by his opponent. that includes money spent by outside groups as well. obama broke all fundraising records in 2008 is worried about being on the other side. bret: thank you. the baptist convention has the first african-american leader. new orleans pastor elected
hearing the sort of muted dissent from, say, ohio, then i think there s a different situation. but clearly, this strategy is aimed at those rust belt swing states like ohio. and the obama campaign believes it is effective and will continue to be effective. so they are going to keep pushing it. and i m not sure well, they are not trying to make a pivot, but i know the romney people are privately scratching their heads and wondering why the president s team is doing this, but they certainly hope that they keep doing it. they think this is yeah. they think that they are very lucky right now. this is turf they are comfortable with. i think they d like to have a long debate over the role of private equity and about bain capital. because fundamentally, at the end of the day, no matter how you argue this, whether he created jobs, shaved jobs, whatever, he was a fix it guy. these companies had problems and he went in and in most cases
massachusetts. he didn t mention bain capital. deval patrick you mentioned. let s look at that. he struggled once again. one of the many obama surrogates who are doing so at the campaign strategy of attacking bain. take a look. i think that the bain strategy has been distorted in some of the public discussion about it. bain is a perfectly fine company. they have got a role in the private economy. and i ve got a lot of friends there. and on both sides of the aisle. do you think the obama campaign team now has been sufficiently stung and realize this is a losing argument, leave it in may, and move forward with a different tack? i think so. i think what mike said is right. governor romney, for reasons that are political, doesn t mention his time as governor. and i think that s tied up to the health care bill that he passed, which i thought was the best of any state in the nation. and he has backed away from it.
