political career because you re not a movement conservative. i do think it s a little different different than a party moves right or left or cocoons if you will after a bad loss. there s a real hunt, maybe chuck said this well, a hunt for people who are easy pickings to get rid of them. your thoughts, chris, then i ll go back to chuck. let me paint it differently. i think it s more of an outsider/insider thing at the moment. i think being having a congress or a rep or a sen or a gov before your name is not good broadly in america at the moment. polls show people don t trust politicians even less than they normally do. i think that this is a sort of thing that s going on because people want change. they voted for change. what they believed to be change in 2008. you saw that same dynamic in scott brown s scott brown has said essentially i ran on the same message barack obama did and got elected as a republican in massachusetts because i ran on change. people don t trust politician

gentleman, great to have you with us tonight. richard, you first. yep. what is his afternoon out of this mess? out of this maze? you do five interviews to try to clear things, it only made things worse, and they re having a hard time explaining any of this. what s the easy avenue? the easy answer is to release the tax returns, but actually there s a step or five before that. which is first of all, decide which avenue you re going to take. one of the problems mitt romney has right now is indecision. it s that his story keeps on change. first of all they said, well, you know, everyone else has done this the, that s not true. then you end up talking about john kerry s wife, which is ridiculous. you say, the obama people will never be satisfied. they ve said all of these things over the last couple of days and it s a bit like his response on the bain question. the story keeps on changing. if you think back what happened to john kerry, the swift boat attacks were terrible, but the ind
