big problem for romney, which he seems to be having a squeeze, and now that he has a bump in the road or a few bumps in the road or many bumps in the road, that fund-raising could be a big problem. what about a danger if you re an obama guy or obama woman worrying an the calvary attacking the last weekend? for example, with all of that super pac money out there, the koch brothers and the rest of them, can they attack on the last friday weekend, get the bad economic number perhaps and spend three days over the last weekend pouring money into ads that they have already bought with new messages? what s to stop that onslaught from outside the romney campaign? well, it can certainly happen and it will happen. there is going to be a lot of advertising on the airwaves this year and this fall, probably more than ever before. but we re about to find out how much is enough, how much is too much and how much doesn t matter. we re going to see a glut of this stuff. and a real question is, and
it down ballot candidates are abandoning romney it leaves to a further shift in terms of getting away from mitt. he had a fund-raiser today where he s trying to reassure donors, i can still get this, still pull this one out. if he starts losing support from his own party and from the money donating base, he has a serious, serious problem in the next two weeks. what about any shake-up coming, john you re the expert, before we quit this segment, i wonder whether he s going to melt down physically by getting rid of his top guy because everybody seems to blame the staff and not the candidate. i think that s the biggest mistake in all this punditry. in the end mitt romney is everything in the campaign. it s not a partisan statement. complains reflect the candidate. ultimately the candidate, win or lose, has to bear the responsibility for their campaign. i don t think mitt romney will dump stuart stevens and i don t think he s to blame. it rests on mitt romney s shoulders. do you know
.that helps remind you that the highway might not be as desolate. as you thought. they re back and we re back with a dirty angry money report. for months we ve heard chest thumping reports from the romney campaign about how much money they ve raised. take a look. for each of the last three months, the romney campaign reported over $100 million, and out-raised the obama campaign for much of the summer. these numbers don t include the powerhouse fund-raising from outside groups like those super pacs. but romney s alleged fund raising success have been followed by a mystery. if his campaign is flesh with cash why is he being outspend in ad buys in crucial swing states especially at a time when he could use good publicity? it turns out money has been
republicans wanted a candidate and didn t get him or her. you re seeing republicans pay a price for it. the betting money is that mourdock will prevail but it s much closer. in maine angus king is suffering because e promised not to caucus with either party. a lot of democrats are worried to support you won t get any assignments if you don t caucus. you sit there and do nothing. he s saying i m going to go up there and do powerless, vote for me. he s got to change that. and in connecticut one last thing, linda mcmahon ran two years ago, she has statewide i.d., obviously a lot of money. chris murphy remains relatively unknown in the state but you have to look at the demographics of connecticut and place money on chris murphy because there s so many more democrats in the state. i hope you re wrong in a couple of these cases. i think murphy might well win. i think mcmahon might well win.
