saying that time is of the essence on job creation. joining us again are jared bernstein and karen finney. karen, can i ask what goes through your mind as you watch the dynamic duo of mitt romney and john boehner come together for the good of their party if not the country? you know, i think about all of those house candidates who are going to have to go out this fall and defend why it is at the top of their ticket their guy who is a i megamillionaire deserves yet another tax break while people still need jobs. that s what i really look forward to. i want to see democrats making these guys have to make that case to the people that they re campaigning with. that s essentially what the romney agenda is about. i want the house republicans to have to defend that agenda. i d love to hear that, too. jartd, do you believe mitt romney will be giving john boehner his marching orders between now and november or will it be the other way around particularly since we know romney doesn t have, a
who are the other big players? hailey barbour. huge impact on this race. he s out raising money. he started the effort to raise money for the presidential trust they are calling it. ed gillespie, who was a founder of cross roads now romney adviser, they won t coordinate. of course they won t coordinate. we should show the colbert skit again. we are going to see it in a few weeks and months. romney is going to try to set their footing, trying to figure out the rnc, debates, figure out vp. all the things that come with the general election candidate and having to build an organization. american cross roads is able to step in and start spending the money romney doesn t have. karl rove last cycle and ed stepped down. american cross roads had a great
ticket because she had very little of it and was a radical pick and ploou blew up in the republicans faces. i think what s going to happen, no one literally knows what s going to happen. probably the best bet given the fact we have been watching romney for such a long time from governor of massachusetts and several months on the trail is the fact he is likely to pick somebody who is relatively conventional, someone who will complement what he doesn t have and where we start on that list and including the charisma, some kind of legislative experience beyond just being governor, and that narrows down the list considerably. i think a lot of people still think chris christie is probably a dark horse but someone like rob portman who has national level experience, someone like paul ryan, might be an outside pick but brings a lot to the table that romney doesn t have. crystal, you were picking up on the irony of someone like sarah palin making a recommendation and also ann len
people who believes that rick santorum has every bit the same chance as romney as making it here and if he leads he will lead a religious crusade people will be excite about him in a way they wouldn t be excited about romney. i wouldn t take any of this for granted. they poll about the same against president obama but snoumpl santorum would have the advantage of enthusiasm which romney doesn t have. michael moore, thank you very much for coming in tonight. really appreciate it. we will be back coming up with the woman who was attacked by rush limbaugh. sandra fluke will have the last word tonight. in the rewrite, we will have another chapter of weird stuff romney says. this time it is matt, matt romney who tried to say good things about hi father in hawaii but said something about president obama that the campaign will never ever let him say again. that s next.

here and if he leads he will lead a religious crusade people will be excite about him in a way they wouldn t be excited about romney. i wouldn t take any of this for granted. they poll about the same against president obama but snoumpl santorum would have the advantage of enthusiasm which romney doesn t have. michael moore, thank you very much for coming in tonight. really appreciate it. we will be back coming up with the woman who was attacked by rush limbaugh. sandra fluke will have the last word tonight. in the rewrite, we will have another chapter of weird stuff romney says. this time it is matt, matt romney who tried to say good things about hi father in hawaii but said something about president obama that the campaign will never ever let him say again. that s next.
