been here three times during october. paul ryan has been here five times. romney and ryan did a sold-out show at red rock amphitheater the other night and president obama was just here to 16,000 people yesterday. here in denver. bret: we are looking at video of the red rock thing. i dop mean to interrupt. romney event with kid rock playing. it was a big event for the romney crowd. another thing we re seeing is widespread use of field offices by both campaigns, but particularly by the obama campaign. they have something like 60 field offices gathered throughout the state. i think the romney come pain only has a dozen of them. we re not totally sure what the effect of the field office will be on election day. at least in the short-term it looks like they made a difference in voter registration. democrats had a disadvantage in republicans in voter registration until a few months ago. the later numbers have them closing that gap to about 40,000 voters. bret: so this colorado
people at the top should pay more, the middle class should not pay more. romney s position is getting through. people at the top get a big tax cut. everybody who wants to claim gets 20% but he s going to close all these loopholes like mortgage interest which is going to hit the average middle class family very hard. what s hitting them hard is the differential they have on middle class. it s up to double digits. huge advantage for the president. thank you, bob shrum. not much of a debate between shrum and corn i salute corn. we were trying to find a republican to represent the romney crowd. two big complaints from conservatives. they say republicans would take the white house if only mitt romney weren t the nominee. really? who would they have preferred? newt? santorum? perry? democrats have outpolled republicans if you count all the elections over the last five times. maybe the problem isn t mitt romney. maybe it s the party. complaint number two, paul ryan has been neutered
he doesn t have emotion he doesn t have any kind of idea of any reason he s there except to get the job. he has no passion that i can ever spot, and spontaneity, he s got to have it memorized like cookies coming down a chute already baked for him so he doesn t have to think. if he thinks, as you say if you ask this guy any question you hadn t heard before, what would come out of his mouth? the romney from massachusetts or the romney from bain or the romney from nordquist or the neocons? the interesting thing about the debate format is each candidate is going to be given a lot of time to answer some of these basic questions. that may not be good for romney. you get the sense, particularly on health care, while governor romney of 2003 could give a good ten-minute answer on health care and what he thought about it, what he wanted to do about it, what he had accomplished in massachusetts, how can mitt romney talk for five minutes on health care, even like 90
he is a perfect representative of the top few in the country. the president in the poll something doing as well or better than romney in taxes. that s because obama s position has gotten through to people. people at the top should pay more, the middle class should not pay more. romney s position is getting through. people at the top get a big tax cut. everybody who wants to claim gets 20% but he s going to close all these loopholes like mortgage interest which is going to hit the average middle class family very hard. what s hitting them hard is the differential they have on middle class. it s up to double digits. huge advantage for the president. thank you, bob shrum. not much of a debate between shrum and corn i salute corn. we were trying to find a republican to represent the romney crowd. two big complaints from conservatives. they say republicans would take the white house if only mitt romney weren t the nominee. really? who would they have preferred? newt? santorum?
