they re at war. it s worth noting these are distant relatives of mitt romney. we talk about the mormon question, talked on the show so many times, this is the week that mitt romney is going to embrace his faith, you write in on buzz feed he s going to embrace religion in a bigger fashion, but perhaps not by mentioning mormonism but by appealing to the evangelical base. mitt romney needs to win 60% of the white vote, evangelicals make up a part of that. could he better utilize the mormon thing to his advantage is. i think we got a glimpse of that at the republican convention. where he had a series of testimonials from former members of his congregation talk about he was there with a child dying of cancer, at the bedside of that child, and various capacities as a mormon bishop, things he had done. a lot of observers agreed that was one of the only moments of the convention and campaign that humanized romney. but we didn t see any kind of, you know, calculated way to push
than about mitt romney at that convention. what happened here was, the field for the primaries was so pathetic and weak, with so many troubled characters against romney, that romney never really had to try very hard in the process and he got to the presidential election and he faces off against a president who s not only specific in detail, but very competitive, with a very aggressive team and he s floundering all over the place. so what happened was i think he got lulled into a false sense of security and then suddenly found himself in the presidential race, there are no details, no policies. ed gillespie says they re going to talk about specifics what specifics? there aren t any specifics. and keep in mind, heather, you know better than anybody, president obama has owned the narrative around romney s policy in the way that the romney campaign they have no ownership over the policies they theoretically have put out there, which is to say the ryan budget. i guess the question is,
the attack. the question was when and how they were going to do it and it s at this point there s a slight difference between what the u.s. assess and the libyans assess. the libyans believe under the cover of the protests outside the u.s. consulates that s when the militants decided to carry out the attack on the u.s. consulate and why there is this differing narrative emerging between the two sides. libyan officials have about 50 people in their custody and all the intelligence on the ground is leading them to believe. i want to dra draw your attention to a new york times analysis at the root of this. they talk about a culture clash over the definition of the notion of freedom, writing the source of the rage was also a demand that many of them, the protesters, described with the word freedom although in a context different from the terms used in the videoistic west. whether muslim, christian or jewish to be free from grave insult to its identity and values. that would seem to pre
they took out the money and got out of dodge before the companies fell apart. the idea he s a managerial expert who knows how to runs things is being exposed in the way he s running his campaign. that was never his business to begin with. i don t think managers want adjectives as laurel and hardy-esque to the description of their campaign. should he let anyone go at this point? the person that politico story targets is stew stew vens but would a shakeup benefit him. also it describes mr. romney as a loyal person, someone that sticks with his team. the answer to that question is no. to eric s point, though, and i read the articles writ bin matt taibbi, there is a parallel here, romney is very, very good at assessing the president s performance and what s happened, but he can t constructively build anything of his own. it s all about reengineering
