are very anti-barack obama, anti-democrat. so some of them aren t willing to give. the same goes for some of the employees i spoke with. i went out for that rally in ohio, the romney rally, and some of the employees i spoke with said, yeah. i give. he likes us to give and i give willingly. but it was other people i spoke with who had a real problem with it who felt very uncomfortable about it, felt it was not right. and felt they were made to feel very bad when they would not give. they would say look. i have a tuition payment this month. i have a car payment. i can t do it this month. and they d be made to feel bad about it. the documents i got back this up. in these documents, these letters i have from mr. murray, himself, to, down to the rest of the company saying, hey. there s no you re not giving this month. step it up. you re insulting me by not giving. what s going on? sometimes he ll attach a list of employees who are not giving, or a spreadsheet showing who is giving and who
what he s supposed to do. and i think hopefully people are going to expect to see that from him his folks will expect to see that from him the next time they debate. jonathan, he s telling the folks on sesame street, big board, elmo, you re not going to end up on the unemployment line. chris harris sent out a tweet saying is it big bird is the only thing we ll remember out of the debate and i wrote back, good question. because i think it s true. the president s on it. you have big bird showing up at a romney rally. today, we re talking about it now. it s something that really resonates no matter how poorly you think the president did, the fact that we re all talking about big bird and that it s something that moms and kids can relate to and the president the way he juxtaposes mitt romney wants to go soft on wall street but bring the hammer down on sesame street. it s a great applause line, but it also sort of makes people think about, well, what does
it s clear that s what he s targeting there. and the romney campaign knows it. did you take a close look at the romney rally today in fairfax here in northern virginia? he had nothing but women in the backdrop of the camera surrounding him. only women introduced him. they know they have a problem. they have to cut that gap. it cannot be sitting in 12, 13, 14 points. in ohio, the president s at 54 with women and romney s at 38. almost 20 points. that is just and that looks prohibitive in ohio, chuck. lawrence, ohio seems to be a special case. we ve been hearing rumors about how, boy, the romney folks are really nervous about what s going on in ohio, that it seems to be, quote, unquote, slipping away. i still think there s plenty of time for them to get it back. organizationally the ohio republican party has a long history of doing well there. but romney s unfavorable rating in our poll hit 50%. his fave/unfave was pretty good
live in the washington, d.c. area. it s clear that s what he s targeting there. and the romney campaign knows it. did you take a close look at the romney rally today in fairfax here in northern virginia? he had nothing but women in the backdrop of the camera surrounding him. only women introduced him. they know they have a problem. they have to cut that gap. it cannot be sitting in 12, 13, 14 points. in ohio, the president s at 54 with women and romney s at 38. almost 20 points. that is just and that looks prohibitive in ohio, chuck. lawrence, ohio seems to be a special case. we ve been hearing rumors about how, boy, the romney folks are really nervous about what s going on in ohio, that it seems to be, quote, unquote, slipping away. i still think there s plenty of time for them to get it back. organizationally the ohio republican party has a long history of doing well there. but romney s unfavorable rating in our poll hit 50%.
couple of other things on this, by the way. expect the bodies of ambassador stevens and everybody coming back to the united states, don t be surprised if you see the president greet the dead bodies when they come back to the united states later today. now, despite the focus on foreign policy fight, both the president and romney have also seemed anxious on the trail yesterday to turn back to domestic issues. look at romney. he tried to boost support among women. every speaker at the romney rally in virginia, other than romney, was a woman. the campaign made sure women were featured prominently behind romney when he spoke. i had a chance to meet a woman entrepreneur. i met a lot of them. i met one and said to her, how duties your business started? she said, well, my husband lost his job stumping in colorado the president tried to connect with voters on the personal level as he s been doing using his own biography in an attempt to show a subtle contrast with romney. let s face it,
