don t like title 9. again and again and again we see thi these attacks on women s rights. this is a party more comfortable in the 50s, 1850s and not 1950s. as you can tell from the bow tie and seer sucker i m from south carolina. we just elected an indian woman minority which shows you don t know what you re talking about, governor. i m afraid i do and i m afraid most people in this country, especially women, know what i m talking about. that s why president obama is so far ahead with women and why your candidate just collapsed in missouri. guys, i want to look at the conventions and try to get this on a very civilized discussion here because wesley, the associated press has this new poll which finds 23% of registered voters are still undecided. do you think the republican convention can be used to try and draw in those voters, or is it going to just be to drum up the base? no. i mean, exactly what i just said about governor nikki haley.
track. he s doing here in ohio the exact things that have to be done to get small businesses to grow and thrive and big businesses to expand and hire more people. this is about more jobs and more take-home pay. it not about rhetoric. it s getting the jobs the american people need, and we will will do just that. reporter: now, this was the last joint appearance by governor romney and paul ryan before they go down to tampa. they re going off to a fund-raiser in new hampshire tomorrow. obviously they want to raise some cash. they re getting close to be able to tap into the general election fund so we may see an explosion of ads in battleground states. paul ryan actually has a send-off rally in his hometown of janesville, then heading to the nasty weather and big convention in tampa. oh, good. an explosion of ads, she says sheepi sheepishly. thank you, ron. meanwhile, a brand-new poll shows president obama and mitt

interview mitt romney said, i think the president was born in the u.s. it was just a joke. so i think it s case closed. he s also said that leading up to, during his candidacy he said that for the most part. anyway, as we move on to overall this week, not a really great one for the gop leading up to the convention especially with the todd akin s legitimate rape comment. how much does that detract from the republican convention s message? i think that is a serious issue for the romney/ryan ticker. in this media clutter, congressman akin s words really broke through. just about everybody knows he said something really bizarre about women and rape. and he s really not that different from the rest of his party, and he worked with congressman ryan on the language that would redefine rape as forceable rape, sort of distinguishing between rape that is legitimate to get an abortion
