Crazy expensive. like crazy, crazy expensive. a bunch of major newspapers, including "the l.a. times," "the wall street journal," "the new york times," and the "washington post," as well as websites like buzzfeed and yahoo have now sent letters to the romney for president campaign, protesting price gouging of the reporters. and from the details that they list, it kind of seems like they have a point. quoting from the letter, weve dealt with numerous campaigns over the past decades, and understan...

"wall street journal," "the new york times," and the "washington post," as well as websites like buzzfeed and yahoo have now sent letters to the romney for president campaign, protesting price gouging of the reporters. and from the details that they list, it kind of seems like they have a point. quoting from the letter, weve dealt with numerous campaigns over the past decades, and understand that we pay a premium to travel with a candidate. but recent invoices from your campaign have raised seri...

And that means they even feed the reporters and put them up in hotels. its like a big carpool, if all the kids in the carpool were trying to catch the driver of the carpool saying something really embarrassing all the time. but even though the campaign takes responsibility for arranging the room and board and travel of the reporters who are covering their candidate, that doesnt mean that the campaign pays for those things for the reporters that would be weird, right? that would be a strange rela...

Boehner position strikes me as utterly reasonable. he wants more rev lieu without raising the tax rates. whether that is negotiating strategy or not i dont know. >> bret: david plouffe gave a speech at the university of delaware and crossing about that speech. raising eyebrows. the senior white house advisor repeated president obama opposition to extend the tax cut and those earning more than 250,000 a year. openness to lower what the wealthy pay. that would produce lower rate for the wealthiest...

There is that a credit downgrading would make it much more expensive for us to borrow to finance our current debt, which is of course, substantial. for years weve been borrowing at rates that are historically very, very low. now that could change. but i will remind you, the last time there was a debt downgrade, as i said earlier. it didnt affect our borrowing rates at all. >> well just have to pay more? >> absolutely. that would be one scenario where interest rates would go up. but nobody is goi...

Buzzfeed reports, "the night before the event campaign aides went to a local walmart and spent $5,000 on granola bars, canned food, and diapers to put on display while they waited for donations to come in, according to one staffer." as supporters lined up to greet the candidate, "a young volunteer in a romney-ryan t-shirt stood near the tables, his hands cupped around his mouth, shouting, you need a donation to get in line. empty-handed supporters pled for entrance, with one woman asking, what i...

Buzzfeed also reported that empty-handed supporters were told to grab something going in. this should really come as no surprise. mitt romney has to manufacture a real connection to real people event, because it just doesnt exist with this guy. the latest ohio poll shows romney trailing president obama badly on whether the candidate cares about the needs of people like you. president obama also leads on who is better at helping the middle class. president obama also leads romney by five points i...

Show." welcome back to "the ed show." mitt romneys storm relief event in dayton, ohio, was more than it seemed. turns out the romney campaign, they bought $5,000 worth of supplies the night before, to make sure that, you know, this whole thing just kind of came off okay and looked good. well, the idea was to collect goods for the red cross. very noble even though the red cross would always prefer cash donations for logistical reasons. the campaign was worried that there might not be enough don...
