well, the post-mortem on the romney campaign will continues for months and years. the latest criticism focus tond get out the vote called orca. daniellea gibbs and republican ad maker brad todd. welcome all. brad, i m going to give you the unceremony use duty of having to talk about project orca. i want to read you a little bit of an excerpt of john, a romney volunteer, on asa conservative blog, ace of spades. he talked about he was ready to take project orca and ready to volunteer and talk about the experiences of it basically not working. he writes this at the end. so the end result was 30,000 plus of the most active and fired up volunteers were wandering and confused and frustrated. maybe if this had worked you if this had worked out it could have closed a gap. i sure hope not, for my sanity s
or 2004 he would be president of the united states this morning. see, andrea s so rright. i think romney went mathematic, but remember you could do all kinds of project orca trying to get the last-minute vote, trying to be they call it that f heaven s sake. but inend, the arithmetic was we re a8:country. the country doesn t look like when i grew up. i m 57 and the country that romney appeals to is long gone. it doesn t look like us. go back ronald reagan we always talk about ronald reagan s historic landslide in 1980. mika you do breakdown from 1980 and put that in last night s voting group, and ronald reagan would have lost in a landslide. it is a new republican party. this is something that george w. bush and jeb bush s in they warned republicans ajçbout it for some time. and last night, they paid a heavy price for not listening. they paid the hard it is a race you could argue
but you get nuggets of information. my favorite nugget is that the romney campaign has project orca. like the killer whale. that is 20,000 volunteers out in the field tomorrow. mico targeting. if they haven t voted how do they get them to vote. why is it project orca? it turns out that the obama campaign earlier had project narwahl. that is also a kind of whale. this was data money, something different. guess what? orca prey on and eat narwahl so advantage romney. [ laughter ] bret: do you have any animal stories you can bring? i love that! my sense about this is simple. we re looking at a national race for all intents and

before the election. absolutely. and finally, reverend sharpton, i will say this again. this is where you tell people, get out of my face because, remember, none of these people have legal authority. they have no legal authority to stop you from voting and that s what you ve got to remember. just simply tell them to get the you know what out of my face and go in there and vote. now, we started seeing this in wisconsin, now iowa and elsewhere. scott, some liberal bloggers have suggested that project orca could lead in this sophisticated apparatus that we re talking about to voter suppression. give you an example. one blogger, nate samuel downs, quote, for instance, one can hang out in a populi and when they see a person with obama
