why wouldn t we have it everywhere. there is a few days from when he originally said this and when he was confronted on the campaign trial, yet he made no mention of just how many white people in the country are on food stamps but he still is willing to go to the left wing organization the naacp and tell them a few things. what does this kind of rhetoric do, what would be his motivation for talking like this? i think when we put it in the context of like bachmann s comments about slavely, rick santorum black-to-black comments, there is a problem with race and the republican side of politics. i feel this is about the ways in which some of these candidates try to pander to a right that is a little more racially focused than the rest of the country and so they try to score point there s and have to backtrack when they get caught. i m writing about this, my co-author are publishing a piece, what we do is try to catalog all these pieces to get
hours of a referendum on newt gingrich s 40 years in public life, it s a disaster for him. bret: right. steve brown s piece talking to folks around here about what they want to see in tonight s debate, a they don t want to see. they point back to tim pawlenty when he went on the attack of congresswoman bachmann in our debate in iowa ahead of the straw poll and they said they didn t like that at all. they don t. it hurts the attacker sometimes even more than the attack. but it still does damage. that is what you see right now with mitt romney. the harder he hits gingrich, he does drive up his own negatives and reinforce it. what choice do other candidates have now? bachmann, santorum, they have to put points on the board. i think that mitt romney s ideal life would be that he doesn t have to go after gingrich a great deal. but some of the other candidates lower in the polls like santorum, like bachmann who are struggling to get some elevation, to be the alternative to romney, th
