too conservative. if you re a strong candidate and you make your case, you can win. in the end christie will need to make a national case. it s not enough to say i was a good governor of new jersey or i have been. even if he has been. clinton, the governors who have made it nationally, reagan, clinton, george w. bush too, have articulated national agendas and interesting national agendas that were sort of fresh. clinton s moderate democratic agenda. bush to some degree with a compassionate conservative agenda. i will give my free advice to christie and palin. they would be well advised to be skeptical of this advice. he should be the guy that says we need an aggressive reform conservatism. we need to govern the country and change in it in a conservative, practical direction. here s a conservative health care reform agenda and financial agenda and tax reform agenda. really lay out a national age a agenda. which ever republican candidate does that, chris christie, scott
need this kind of progrowth tax reform agenda and work out the details in the same way ronald reagan did with tip o neill with working across the aisle. governor romney has a proven record of being able to work across the aisle. chris: there are a lot of questions from independent people how do you pay for it and you refuse to say how you will pay for it? we will pay for it by eliminating deductions and loopholes and making sure for the middle class that protecting the home mortgage deduction and other important deductions for them but at the high end you would eliminate deductions and a lot of special interest loopholes that would allow you you to bring down the rate 20%. six different studies said this is chris: those studies are questionable. some of them are blogged. some from the aei which is hardly an independent group. these are credible sources and chris: one is from a blog from a guy who was a top advisor to george w. bush. these are hardly nonpartisan

stinging critique of romney s flip-flopping. quote, perhaps mr. romney is slowly figuring this out. in a july 4th interview he stated himself that the penalty is now a tax after all. but he offered no elaboration. so the campaign looks confused in addition to being politically dumb. the latest mistake is a piece of with the campaign s insular staff and strategy that are slowly squandering an opportunity. here s more on fox news. his two senior advisers have a totally different story. i know. it was so stupid. what he was doing is he didn t want to be accused of raising taxes in massachusetts. wow. so stupid, huh? and bill crystal agrees with the wall street journal that the problem was a larger one. quote, what was his economic growth agenda? his deficit reform agenda? his health care reform agenda? his tax reform agenda? his replacement for dodd-frank?
