retire these debt. my guess is that was not beyond something that newt might have had in his mind yesterday when he was on meet the press and really kind of turned the corner in terms of mitt romney accepting mitt romney. that maybe there will be some fund-raising coming his way. he s got a $4.5 million debt. he needs to follow on with what chris and mark were just talking about it, he needs to become more an aacquainted with house and senate republicans. he was a governor. they generally don t know the other folks and spending a couple of wednesday mornings with the house and a couple of tuesday lunches with the senate policy committee, i think that would go a long way, as well. and then of a third and fourth thing is to start doing things like taking physically taking control of the rnc as the nominee will do and the convention because it sounds like small potatoes but as these ex-candidates, governors and other people need an extra room, need a good speaking slot, need
leader. he of issed as mormons do as a missionary. why not just embrace it and accept it? well, i think he should learn he feeds to talk about it in a comfortable way. i don t think they should embrace it as a matter of pr strategy or reject it but deal with it as it comes. i think if you look at the things they ve got to work with to humanize him, they can tweet out all the pictures they want. his time working with eem in crisis as part of his ministry when he was a church leader in boston is one of the few times we know of in his life where he came face to face was people of less economic means in times of crisis. he needs to talk about it in a political way. that s just a reality of presidential politics and image making that s much more comfortable, much more nuanced and textured than he has so far. i don t see very much else to work with on that score. that s an important score. presidential politics are about personalities as much as anything else. right now he s not well
want to sway people one way or the other. he s not the most popular guy in the midwest because of the kinds of things he tried to get through. that s number one. it may be a sosht of defensive move on behalf of romney. he may want to be invited to dinner a couple times before they start a serious relationship. he may want to be courted a little bit. there may be something about the all the chatter about rob portman, senator from the cincinnati area as a potential running mate for romney and kasich doesn t want to throw all of his cards onto the table before he gets 0 negotiate little goodies for ohio or for himself. before i let you go, broke, newt gingrich didn t really anticipate according to you how hard it is to run for president. yeah, well that is true. i think a lot of folks tried to convince him of this. the last time he ran for anything was 1988 for a congressional seat. this is a far grander undertaking and one of the problems he had was that he tried to do it in a new wa
anything but an arrest and then at that point, you know, they were asked that it would be a fair trial, a very public trial so we can see that all the evidence is in properly and that the killer will have his day in court to assert whatever claims he wants to assert. they also want to have a judge and jury to have their day in court for their son. this was their son they lost. they just want simple justice. they re not asking anything more or anything less if this was their child killed in such a way. benjamin crump reacting to the news there will not be a grand jury immediately empanelled in this case. thank you so much, sir. after a day full of easter celebration at the white house, there were several priceless moments at the 134th annual egg roll. here s one of our favorites,
much more sophisticated way than a lot of independent groups do to waste money. everyone expects these ads to be good, well executed and although in presidential politics, it s the candidates that really drive a lot of what voters think, paid media matters. we could wake up in 90 days of this and see numbers having moved. that s not usually something you can anticipate even with a lot of paid advertising. now, in addition to advertisements, of course there s the twitter battle and the effort by the romney campaign to show how warm and fuzzy he is. chrysalis cillizza, some of the pictures he tweeted out over the easter weekends showed him painting eggs with grandchildren and body surfing. who knew. you know, andrea, all of this, here s the problem for mitt romney at the moment. if you know anything about him, the average persons very little. if you know anything about him, you basically know one of two things or both.
