biggest mistakes if not the biggest mistake of his career. the extent his star is diminished in terms of an endorsement is exactly because he did that. he was certainly powerful in this endorsement. one last question for you. if it is basically a tie heading into election day, do you think a tie favors the incumbent or the challenger? i think it favors the incumbent. it seems to me this election is baked, barring some event we don t know. and, yes, there is a small undecided vote. i think it s about get out the vote. if you believe the romney campaign, oh, they have a much better get out the vote program in ohio because they re doing much more than was done by mccain four years ago. they re not measuring it against obama and the democrats. i think that s what it s about now. i think glenn beck is a pathetic effort on the romney campaign part to get out some crude part of the base. call me crazy. go to hell! call me crazy. that little rabbit, he looked like dr. no in the bond mo
paul ryan and donald trump are doing a joint appearance in new york city just a couple weeks ago. now glen beck is doing a gala fund-raiser with dick cheney with 12 days to go before the election. i can t first of all, the glenn beck thing, to me, suggests he s still trying to win over the base of the republican party. or the craziest part of the base. but as you indicated, he s trying, romney is trying to hide his real positions, have this mask of moderation. he s running a pseudo pro-choice. i don t even want to dignify it with that label. ad. and so, and he s trying to, you know, put mourdock in the closet with akin. and, yet, it s all undone by appearance by glenn beck or donald trump. at the same time, on the foreign policy front, after presenting himself in the last debate as a
voting for he and for vice president joe biden next month. not only am i uncomfortable with what governor romney is proposing for his economic plan, i have concerns about his views on foreign policy. i mean, it s a moving target. one day he has a certain strong view about staying in afghanistan, but then on monday night he agrees with the withdrawal. same thing in iraq. on almost every issue that was discussed on monday night, governor romney agreed with the president with some nuances. but this is quite a different set of foreign policy views than he had earlier in the campaign. and my concern, which i ve expressed previously in a public way, is that sometimes i don t sense that he has thought through these issues as thoroughly as he should have. there are other issues as well, not just the economy and foreign policy. i m more comfortable with president obama and his administration when it comes to issues like what are we going to do about climate? what are we going to do about immigr

alluding to to be involved with dick cheney, completely undoes that. dick cheney is the foreign policy who supposedly disowning last week. that s why i feel like this is important because i feel like the way the beltway is talking about this and the way mitt romney as a politician is being communicated to the country right now is he s pivoted to the center, he s showing his moderate side. he had to appear to be conservative in order to get the nomination. now he wants the country to know how moderate he is. he s doing a kitchen sink approach with he s doing everything all at once. he s still doing dick cheney, glenn beck, sending paul ryan to alabama and all these other places where he can speak freely. exactly. while he s making the moderation turn at the same time. that can t be tenable. no. no one knows who the real mitt romney is, as, you know, he s a hologram, really, and it changes every other minute. we all know that. but i would say if you really want if a voter who
