messaging and focus on the republican side on hispanic media markets. kim tried to spin it away as saying, no, this is the obama -- we're up to $2 million in spending on the obama side on hispanic media. it was less than $50,000 as of last week on the romney side. >> that's right. and republicans talk about the need to reach out. but the most obvious and simple way of reaching out is by actually talking to the people you're trying to get to vote to you. that's not happening right now. >> seems part of it, the romney campaign only wants to talk about one thing -- economy, economy, economy. they know that immigration is -- >> they had to go to the right on immigration. >> it was the only consistent conservative position he had. >> why not go out and get george p. bush, marco rubio, barnstorm the country -- the fascinating thing about the dream act. if harry reid held the senate
romney will be that strong in wisconsin. >> that's what he said about wisconsin. earlier he said the romney campaign can't just be anti-obama, something daniels has been saying for six months. does this fall into your, he wishes he had been running for president, a la jeb? >> i think everyone knows that gr dani governor daniels wishes he had been able to run for president. but i don't think anything of the things he said are as unhelpful as other things people have been saying -- >> governor daniels is a political pundit. >> if you look at it in a literal sense, you can't say what happened in wisconsin is going to go forward around the country. republicans saying, let's double down on having tough austerity measures. how does that play in a place
>> the problem they have, it's somewhat effective except it was so long ago. the problem is this election is in the here and now. people are living in this economy now. they can talk about it, but after a while people just are living right now. the economy is not going to get better they are not going to -- >> you think romney's record is irrelevant? >> not irrelevant, but it's a heck of a long time ago. and he can come back with 4.7 unemployment -- >> 47th in the nation -- >> doesn't matter. 4.7 unemployment, worked with democrats, we got it done. i have a lot of money, you have a lot of money, the economy is not good. we win. >> on the debt issue, there seems to be a bit of a split inside the republican party. do you hit the president on jobs or on the debt. >> right. i think that -- i hate to be giving them advice, but i think that the debt issue, when you
officers and firefighters, but they moved quickly to curb it. two small things. >> the thing that struck me about romney, like a lot of his stuff. when he has a moment, something to pounce on, he overcranks it. he overcranks it. this seemed to be a moment of overcranking saying, hey, we don't need more firefighters. wait. you're supposed to be talking about government. not firefighters or police. >> when you're on capitol hill, republican leaders get asked about this question, they say we don't have the money to keep funn funnelal off to these private sector unions. team obama, when they made the decision to clarify the comments the second time around, just come out and say i was talking about corporate -- the corporate sector has done really well recently. separate corporate from private. if you say corporate, record corporate profits are going up, that's easy to understand instead of saying we know the economy is not doing well it could be doing well.
industry. a michigan poll last week showed a dead heat. the president will be talking about michigan's initiatives for rural communities. the obama campaign is trying a bait and switch in trying to draw attention to these comments that romney made at the same press conference he attacked the president on friday in iowa. >> he wants to hire more government workers. he says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. he did not get the message of wisconsin? >> david axlerod tried to seize on romney's remarks on sunday. >> i would suggest he's living on a different planet if he thinks that's a prescription for a stronger economy. >> and the obama campaign is out with a new web campaign this morning talking about romney's reign as governor. >> it's time for us to cut back on government and help the american people.
for you guys. i will play two of them here, back-to-back. first here's an obama campaign attacking romney. this is the one my daughter focus group, we were watching nats/red sox. >> how did she rate it. >> i won't say. here is the obama ad against romney. >> it started like this. >> i speak the language of business. i know how jobs are created. >> but it ended like this. one of the worst economic records in the country. in 2008 barack obama said -- >> we can't mortgage our children's future on a mountain of debt. >> now he's adding 4 billion in debt every day. borrowing from china for his spending. every second growing our debt fasters than our economy. tell obama stop the spending. >> all right. that second one, that's a crossroads ad. kim, you talk about the obama ad. steve, you talk about the crossroads ad.
doing well. >> he was talking about the private sector in terms of government, but it's the one line -- >> the big picture is it's a window into a soul. that's what they're trying to project. i think he's sort of -- as we used to say that romney was sort of stepping in, he's sort of stepping into this narrative that they have been trying to create. it was just too convenient and too perfect. after a week of really bad news, that was a terrible way to end it. >> it's like i'm not concerned about the very poor by romney. he was trying to say there was a safety net, but it didn't matter. >> that's right. kim is right about what the obama campaign is trying to avoid and what the romney campaign is trying to do. if you look at the poll numbers and ask who is on your side and understands the challenges you face, people don't say mitt romney, they say barack obama. it goes for creating jobs and every other problem that the middle class is facing today. >> i want to play a couple ads
today. >> we have seen layoffs, cutbacks. >> when it's all said and done, i'm making $200 a month. >> the private sect ser or is d fine. the private sector is doing fine. >> republicans you a duauditione romney's number two mocked on the comments in front of a conservative audience in chicago. >> i'm delighted to see all of you out there there the private sector are doing just fine. >> it is an outrage to have the president of the united states stand up and say to hard-working governors, republicans and democrats around this country that state and local government hiring is moving in the wrong direction and we're to blame. >> the private sector is so foreign to him, he might need a passport to visit it. >> most dangerous kind of gaffe is one that plays into an opponent's narrative. team romney has been trying to build the narrative that the
before, but usually when caught by a reporter on the side. he knows what he's doing. he's having a sit-down with every reporter living in the new york city media market. this is akin to bill clinton doing what he did to barack obama the last ten days. >> that's right. it's lucky for governor romney that it is not actually the same thing as bill clinton talking a couple things are going on here. i think jeb bush does believe these things. and he decided he made a miscalculation -- >> he wishes he ran. >> he wishes he had run and he has come to the conclusion that he lost his chance and he will not be able do it in 2016 or 2020. so say what you think. >> he is playing to this, of course, the talking point that the obama campaign has, these republicans, this is not the same republican party. barack obama talks about ronald reagan couldn't get the
romney could pick his running mate any time now. any time we should take a deep dive into the vp stakes. we have a look at risks and rewards of some of the top names floating out there. you may be surprised by whose stock is up and whose is down. and why some quality names are not on the short list. you are watching "the daily rundown" on msnbc. and what that feels like. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms by keeping my airways open a full 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. and it's steroid-free. spiriva does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain,
