death. i m shannon bream in for megyn kelly. this man, a former steel worker suggested mitt romney is to blame for the death of his wife. company s company apparently closed the plant where he worked and that caused him his insurance. the problem is romney wasn t with the company when plant was closed. his wife didn t close until years later and she had her own insurance through her employer for a while. press secretary jay carney says this issue is out of the white house s hands. i can t comment on every third-party ad on both sides. but do you agree that the campaign knew nothing about this man many story and it was because of bain capital s
that romney wasn t talking about the economy was a bad day for the romney campaign. wlfs the last time they talked about it. they re talking about welfare, adssh it s not the obama brand of 2008, i agree, but again he has just tactically speaking, i m not saying i agree with it, but he had more room, and he knows he can t run on the public satisfaction with the country. i don t agree with that. he has to make romney unacceptable, because he knows romney will not fall on his face. you ve got to drive him as bad as you can. speaking of bounces, will he get a vp bounce? we ll talk about that after the break. how many votes separated the winner and loser in the closest election in u.s. senate history. the answer that probably something only karla would have gotten right. it was 1974.
i don t believe the foreign trip to his benefit because the press will obviously go to the supposed gaffes and not focus on the great speech he gave in poland. bill: you are never going to get an accurate play on romney from the press. everyone knows that so you are going to have to basically go by what the people are feeling and you think that they are feeling uneasy about the direction of the country. now, interestingly enough, in this gallup rundown here, the states that matter the most, florida, 46% he approval of president obama. virginia 46. nevada 45. and ohio crucial, 44%. with numbers like that it s almost impossible for the president to win. yet in the cbs poll yesterday, cbs, quinnipiac, new york times, had the swing states gone. so it s a confusing morass right now. it is confusing. you were tackling the
something like that today. if you look at where the money is going. couple of things that you are going on here. polls sighting big time home states. these are not going to go for romney. interesting plays are always in the states like nevada up over obama virginia where it is fairly dead even. down in florida average. romney, i believe his strength you are seeing in an odd way play out in the previous segment which is chick-fil-a controversy. romney wasn t at chick-fil-a yesterday coming forward and saying, you know, this has gotten out of hand the demonization of people. and we want to stand for
wisconsin governor recall, right, a lot of polls showing he was in trouble up to the very end. i really believe that a lot of these pollsters are trying to do their best. oversamples democrats. bill: that s what they did yesterday in the quinnipiac poll. they did again. 7%, something like that. over sampled. i think romney needs to do. he needs to do a better job of framing himself as a forward-looking, substantive. bill: if you were romney, would have you been out at chick-fil-a today new were romney. i would. bill: that would have been unbelievable photo on. i think romney here is what i think he should have done. dressed up like the chicken. had the little chicken. no, no. bill, should have been the cow. only if you went in that cow outfit they have at the chick-fil-a. you pop out as the cow. bill: they don t sell burgers. no, they have a cow. you don t even know. it s the branding of chick-fil-a the cow and they
