thought this was a great debate last night. i went through the historical record and have seen all of the televised debates. this was, i think, the best single debate that we ve had in the history of the television debates and the three debates, the two presidential debates and the vice presidential debate, as a threesome, are by far the best series of debates that we ve had. it s rather encouraging. the format last night worked. i did like the idea that real people were asking real questions. the best question of the night, you ve already said, was the women who said, look, i ve got my concerns about you, about president obama, but you, governor romney, i want to know how you explain the difference between you and president george bush. best question of the night. absolutely. and i think the best question thus far, i think candy crowley deserves credit for choosing good questions. i m glad you raised that. candy crowley, you know the republicans believe they lost the debate last n
i went to a number of women s groups and said, can you help us find folks, and they brought us whole binders full of women. which was very uncomfortable. joining us now for the interview is shannon o brien. she ran against mitt romney in the 2002 massachusetts governor s race, that was a race, of course, that mr. romney won. shannon o brien, thanks for joining us tonight. nice to have you back. thank you, rachel. that 02 campaign is at the heart of today s debunking, if you will, of the binders thing. can you explain to us what was going on in 2002 at that time that governor romney was talking about last night? well, it was fascinating for me to listen to that story. i called on another one of mitt s massachusetts myths. and he s made himself the shining knight. the fact is, there was a group, mass gap, which is the government appointments project, put together by a number of bipartisan women s groups. at the time there were approximately, i don t know, 30% of women in high-ra
away from things they didn t like. the impulse not to do that normal stuff, but to assert that uncomfortable fablths just aren t real facts, that the president isn t really president, that the unemployment rate hasn t really gone down, that closed loop, cuddle yourself, pretend it isn t happening impulse that s what made the right s presidential candidate last night walk into this horrible wall. i m the president and i m always responsible. and that s why nobody is more interested in finding out exactly what happened than i did. the day after the attack, governor, i stood in the rose garden and i told the american people and the world that we are going to find out exactly what happened. that this was an act of terror. i think it s interesting that the president just said something which is that on the day after he attack he went in the rose garden and said that this was an act of terror. that s what i said. you said in the rose garden the day after the attack it was
let s invest in our teachers so they can inspire our students. let s solve this. . when mitt romney got on his campaign plane today to go do some this guy. from world net daily. that s the website that has done all of the exclusive reporting about president obama s birth certificate. at the world net daily super store you can still by the yard sign. but maybe now that the book is down to 78 cents on amazon.com, mr. corsi has moved on to a new
do you have a second or an hour? when republicans decided to make this new regulation an issue back in the spring, mitt romney was asked then, do you think your boss should be able to block you from having access to contraception? and mr. romney recoiled from that question. he said, no, he was not for that bill. that very same day, though, later on, he was reminded that, actually, it was his republican party that was promoting this legislation that says, your boss really should be able to block your access to contraception, and he was supposed to be all on board with that. so then he said, oh, of course i m in favor of your boss being able to block your birth control access. i didn t understand the question. but then president obama last night pointed out that that was mitt romney s position, and mitt romney totally denied that that was his position. in my health care bill, i said insurance companies need to provide contraceptive coverage to everybody who is insured. because this is
