holds that after you move right, you move towards the center, pivot toward the middle to get those undecided, independent voters. this is the opposite thing. in fact, i saw ex governor of new hampshire and asked him if ryan s speech signalled they weren t going to bother to move to the middle, that this was the full tea party of the mitt romney campaign and he looked at me with that scornful eye that he uses so often and he says that just shows how little you know about this country, which i took to mean yes. we re just watching the great mitt romney standing at the lectern. he s testing the height of the lectern. telepromter. come on. no, not mitt romney. joy, did you do you agree with what david corn is saying, about them rejected a
mitt romney standing next to the hot girl saying i m not afraid, bring it on, i m psyched to be with her. i think what you get here is a change of tactics. i was running this sort of campaign as we talk about a non-entity. i m not going to put any meat on the bones of who i am, i m not going to talk anything to getting very specific. i m only going to talk the economy and blame obama to owning this ryan budget. so when you change tactics, that does not suggest that you thought you were winning. if you were doing the right tactics, you would continue and you would choose portman or maybe pawlenty. going in an entirely different selection with an ultimately conservative guy would not mean to shorttown base. to your original question, i think we do see a new excitement out of romney, a new energy out of romney. sure, that will happen when you re in a new rain, especially with a really cute guy but he will go back to being what he is. he s 65 years old.
i think if you strip away all of the hyper kinetic press coverage of what you would call the gaffes and actually look about the big takeaways, the big takeaways, seriously, london was bumpy for the reasons you said but if you strip that away and look at the big takeaways of the trip you had two of the leaders of two of america s most important allies give virtual endorsements to mitt romney, the prime minister of israel talked about mitt romney being an old, dear friend, both of israel s and of his with mitt romney standing next to him. he actually unleashed a seething critique of the administration s strategy for sanctions and said they weren t working. he then went from the prime minister s office to meet with president perez who basically hosted the equivalent of a state visit for romney. like they would give to a head of state. the president walked in with
very sorry. the former vice president, dick cheney, is hosting mr. romney tonight in wyoming at an event that is closed to tv cameras. as you see here. there will be no video evidence of mitt romney standing next to dick cheney tonight. let me offer one possible reason for that. that right there, you see it? very small. dick cheney s approval rating when he left office in 2009, a very impressive 13%. impressive in the sense you have to try to get an approval rating that low. george bush despite his best efforts almost managed to get an approval rating that low. even he could not territory. and at that joint appearance, no cameras. it is awkward. the bush years were bad years for the country. no one wants to remind the country of what it was like the last time a republican was in the white house.
finally, it is a long awaited passing of the torch from the last republican administration to the man they hope will lead the next one. can we go to the video tape of the big romney-cheney videotape in wyoming. sorry, i m being told there is no videotape of that event tonight in wyoming. very sorry. the former vice president, dick cheney, is hosting mr. romney tonight in wyoming at an event that is closed to tv cameras. as you see here. there will be no video evidence of mitt romney standing next to dick cheney tonight. let me offer one possible reason for that. that right there, you see it? very small. dick cheney s approval rating when he left office in 2009, a very impressive 13%. impressive in the sense you have to try to get an approval rating that low. george bush despite his best efforts almost managed to get an approval rating that low.
