congressman ryan. putting them together whereas the obama cam pan separating them to cover more territory. but they re together today. you cover your territory. i don t think you see them very much over the next two weeks together and if you do, that to me is not necessarily a smart strategy unless there might be this might be where they go, they re going to pour everything they ve got in to ohio and the ironic thing is i think the obama campaign does the same thing because everybody knows that if ohio goes one way or the other, particularly going for obama, this race is over. governor romney cannot win if he doesn t win ohio. the math doesn t add up. there s another part of strategy, not just where you go, obviously, but about, chris, essentially what it is that you say and do you play it safe? do you play it safe the way mitt romney seemed to last night or go more aggressive?
that he overshadows the guy we re all throwing the party for? i don t think so. chris is a stand alone. he generates his own interest and power. it s going to be about mitt romney. he s the deliverer for the romney message and it s going to submit that connection that the romney tea is looking for between the tiks or to be the top of the cam pan. skblip got that question about ryan. will that affect rhode island in. no, no, everybody should do as well as they can. you get four hours when you re running for president that really count. that speech is the first of those four. the debates are the others. romney has to do well. i think it s doubling it
new york times today, i know this is a liberal rag of a magazine but it is still also of a newspaper. it s still all the news put to print. here we have fundamentally this kind of, this question about can this primary with romney, who ought to be a michigan kind of son of michigan, this is his last stand and he can t make this stand in this moment. sort of is this the end of a romney cam pan and the beginning of a santorum campaign? good question. the irony is that santorum is making the better blue collar argument to those auto workers. he is. recognizing the first sentence, yeah, you re going back to work. i m happy for that. now let s talk about what happens next. whereas, romney is stuck with the overhang of his rhetoric from earlier about michigan and has not figured out a way to counteract that. i mean, it s still literally feels like the 1% argument. it does.
not anti-semitic and not homophobic. he ll join me on the phone in the next segment and ask the tough questions. with one week to the way caucuses, it is an easy guess where they are today. five in fact crisscrossing the hawkeye state right now or will be later today, including perry, gingrich, bachmann and romney. on the ground right now in iowa, sanatorium at the gop headquarters in fort dodge. romney was on the stump in new hampshire this morning but is expected in iowa later today. next tuesday s bat sl the first contest in the race for the republican nomination for those living in iowa you can expect an explosion of campaign television and radio commercials. latest american he verge group poll shows a three-way traffic jam for the top spot with paul at 21%. romney at 20%. gingrich at 19%. 12% of likely caucus goers are undecided at this late date. you don t have to be rich to be elected to congress but it helps. you will have lots of company there. data analyzed of
attention. in the spring of 2016 european officials are picking up signs from their own intelligence gathering efforts that russian money is flowing into our elections process. it s not clear if that s going to a candidate but it s significant enough that u.s. officials pick up on this as well and they are briefed in the spring 2016 time frame, that the money flows may be an issue here as well. that also is important because that predates our public understanding that the dnc was hand. you re seeing this influence campaign maybe having roots in money flowing in the spring of 2015 as well. you look at all the different pieces that are out there and a little bit here, a little bit there. nour we re going back even before the election, of course the meeting. . you saw the timeline in june, the messages between the trump cam pan and outside sources more
