Targeting three reliably democratic states, michigan, minnesota, pennsylvania. and while both sides are now running ads in these states, senior obama campaign adviser david axelrod said the romney strategy amounts to a hail mary pass from a campaign running out of routes to 2 sgle70. >> i will come on "morning joe" and shave off my mustache of 40 years if we lose any of those three straiates. >> lets bring in robert tram. that was pretty good, right? >> im not going to make that bet for my hair....

Meticulous way the holes in the romney strategy. he tried to do that. bill clinton does it in a warm and empathetic way. and president obama did a little bit of that but in this very disengaged law/professor-type of approach. some people think it is harder for the president to be nasty, be tough because then he comes across as an angry black man who is going to scare people. i dont know, but for whatever reason it -- he just did not push back. he did not engage. >> i think also the lack of audie...

Dont deserve, that they didnt earn, and the obama model is that some people arent getting things from the market that they do deserve and that they did earn. so part of the question that we will see is which one of those things resonates more. >> i dont know. as far as ive long thought the fairness argument is a fair one if you look at the broad trend lines of american society, the stagnating of the middle class wages from 1979 to the present, the weakening power of labor unions. to me, that rom...

This guy, theoretically his career is over and yet, i think theres some sense and some evidence to prove that this is kind of a theory that is accepted in some corners of the republican party, conservative circles. >> one of the factors here isnt just a gender factor. its kind of the weirdo, nut job factor which is sort of what the democrats in chicago are trying to portray republicans in general as doing. i think akin feeds into this notion that chicago very much wants to portray nationally tha...
