and what its worries were about governor christie's, the unanswered questions from his vet, the matters that were in the public record but not widely known in the national political or press corps, and that they conveyed to governor romney those concerns. governor romney pulled the plug the next day and that is the fact of what happened. i think in some sense it speaks for itself. >> one of the things i found so surprising, we touched on this in my show yesterday, is in your first book with mark, "game change," bestseller, hbo peabody awards, emmys, there was not a lot about president obama in the book. the obama campaign first of all wasn't as interesting as the mccain campaign but also, i don't think they cooperated as much. i was stunned at how much obama aides shared with you to the detriment of in some cases, president obama, vice president biden, former president bill clinton. were you surprised that they talked so much more this time?
