vice president of the united states, in charge of opposing infrastructure building. it makes no sense. the country cannot work if we don t invest both in people s education and in the infrastructure, and romney has no record of it, and paul ryan has a record of being against it. so i don t see how anybody s going to vote for them. on the stage, the theatrics of it all and the semantics of it as well, mike rowe is up there talking about the very people that mitt romney was dissing behind closed doors at that fund-raiser. he can t say it about them, but maybe this guy can. maybe i ll hand the microphone to this guy, this guy named mike rowe, who wears a workman s hat and a sweatshirt and goes around and has pretty good visibility, maybe he can get up there and say that i really do care about these folks. i find this of somewhat of a desperate move, the choreography of all of this. well, it s really based, ed,
and now you re going to make him vice president of the united states, in charge of opposing infrastructure building. it makes no sense. the country cannot work if we don t invest both in people s education and in the infrastructure, and romney has no record of it, and paul ryan has a record of being against it. so i don t see how anybody s going to vote for them. on the stage, the theatrics of it all and the semantics of it as well, mike rowe is up there talking about the very people that mitt romney was dissing behind closed doors at that fund-raiser. he can t say it about them, but maybe this guy can. maybe i ll hand the microphone to this guy, this guy named mike rowe, who wears a workman s hat and a sweatshirt and goes around and has pretty good visibility, maybe he can get up there and say that i really do care about these folks. i find this of somewhat of a desperate move, the choreography
to suddenly becomes someone who cares about people who do the dirty work in this society. he has shown no sympathy for them in the past, he has shown no sympathy for their health care needs or their education needs or their employment needs. the health care s a perfect example, but there are lots of others. and they are now realizing with their numbers falling through the floor that they ve got to do something to look like they care about working america. it is really a desperate move. and the democrats have been very specific in their efforts. it was president obama who was trying time and time again to come forward with a specific jobs bill for infrastructure, that would affect the kind of jobs that they re talking about on the romney stage today. and i guess we have to remind americans of the kind of obstruction that was in the environment in washington. we went again and again and again to the floor to try and get infrastructure funding. and the republicans simply held it up. i
it changes every national poll to fit the party breakdown used by scot rasmussen of rasmussen reports. but scott rasmussen said, you cannot compare partisan weighting from one polling firm to another. different firms ask about partisan affiliation in different ways. so even the republican pollster from the right debunks the idea that all these national polls should be retooled to fit his methods. let s bring in democratic strategist chris kofinis now. i think we ve seen it all now. this is a heck of a sale job going on. the right wing is going full tilt on this, claiming all of these polls are oversampling democrats. have at it. even, for example, if you see the argument that occasionally you re going to have polls that are off, because that s the nature of polling, you re never going to have consistency across every poll. and if you say, you re right, there are some meth logical differences into models that different polls use to determine likely voters, tell me the poll where gov
those bain ads are part of it. ken blackwell, the former republican secretary of state was on cnn today. and he said it was just like 04. bush roughed up kerry in the summer and kerry never recovered. and he didn t say romney will never recover, but the implication was, romney s in a heap of trouble. chris redfern, who is the chairman of the democratic party in ohio also with us tonight. chris. a very untenable position that governor kasich is being placed in, to go out and talk about the economy when it s all positive for workers, and mitt romney s had nothing to do about it. what do you make of that? well, it s really important to realize that the downturn in the unemployment rates in ohio began long before john kasich took office. a close look at the record, we will reflect that the auto rescue came long before john kasich had a chance to take his turn as governor. and the commitment that the president made to middle income earners in places like toledo, a location that mitt ro
