welcome back to the day the package for joining me is bill share blogger a
campaign for america's future and liberal oasis dot com
bill uh... so many questions now rising including about whether mit romney is
sabotaging his own campaign by simply stepping foot in europe
and so many other questions but let's start with polling uh... i'm seeing a
lot of electoral vote predictors witcher skewing really have a lead towards
president obama and at the same time we see a number of different national polls
words much closer maybe romney ahead by the margin of error maybe not uh... what
do you think is more valuable to look at right now
but there are white and yellow the electoral college is the endgame
and so you would think state-by-state is more for it
well those are my love electoral college predictors
will take a state park that show the two point lead
and they just give it to one person
and that might be able false sense of certitude would be just overly very
close
the national and also state by state board really vary very heavily quality
uh... i think you know most of the national polls now sees some outlines
the grass must know i don't trust at all
i don't trust the gallup tracking poll for a couple reasons uh... one helping
to push over they had another dot but logical flop
if recent years and also tracking polls aren't did did a polls are not redesign
t_v_ acrid snapshots of his eye to give you uh... said some momentum tarzana
today attending or those and look at some of the big ones like at new york
times in an n_b_c_ a few
and you look at the national polling
they tend to range from dead heat
toolbar are plus ten the most recent peel
you don't see big romney believes
in any legitimate
national polling
and that to me is the biggest indicated this race leanza while matt window bala
for some time
okay yet and we're actually going to have scott peter from pew research
center on wednesday to look at not only what what polls we have for this race
but to compare similar polls in early august in previous presidential
campaigns are ready to get into some of the minutiae of that uh... as far as mit
romney and his european gap trip which was just incredible i've started to get
the sense that maybe mit romney doesn't really want to be president and i know
that it's a lot of work to run for president if you don't really want to be
president but like my senses
prepping of george romney his father
uh... unknown politician and kind of drafted in some way given his uh... a
kind of moderate
perception as a result of being governor of our state of massachusetts here
maybe this is not something deep down he really wants to do
and the way that we're seeing that is that the guy just can't keep it together
to have a consistent view on any issue any goes to europe and it's just a total
disaster then is there anything to the idea that romney was pushed into running
i don't accept that he's ready for this job for a very lopsided basement running
since two thousand six
uh... and that's a lot of years the brady law privately to your hearts are
really into maybe doing for like six months
contact wrap it up but not for this long a period of time
i do think that he and is very
uh... anak
troll on the stump n_p_r_ talk with this in
in a personal way it is not a good candidate or resign ari socially awkward
and that sort of thing by this comes a lot more down to policy positions he's
offered because he can't deliver
a conservative message com
prbly because you know is deep down but it's not popular nationally it's not
popular to push tax cuts for the rich it's not popular to push
going back to looser regulations on corporations
most people do bought blame old bum up for the economy many frustrated by a
fresher with him for a certain things but you still ask would you blame for
this they say bush in ottawa bomber that tell you that people remember when guys
in this crisis but rom is not bold in upper created not person to break or
away from conservative orthodoxy excommunicate a new brand of
republicanism to the public
and or their priority is clock which we maybe what he thinks is make little
sense
and was based imagine him and that leads to a lot of mistakes a lot of
flip-flopping a lot of contradictions yeah i mean as a politician of course
mit romney disgusts me but i have to admit that he's not he's not a stupid
guy and i just don't understand why he's not able to put together
a coherent explanation of
okay
this is why
my position on exhibition will
appears to have wavered over time
here's my position now and here's why you shouldn't be worried about this
perceived wavering that i've had what can he do do that why can someone
explain to him
what to say
the wavering comes back to being ought to be able to talk straight to his own
party's based leggett example we could do if he had more political freedom yet
you might say you know why i was in the process
for a long time ago learned a lot of the next economy work well so low that cause
a lot of damage you know when when when john from overseas maybe it's good for
on investors but its backers of working families when i would join the public
sector as governor i did things to prevent that but i had to push in those
blows either detour on the care i'd care about what happened to people
and i got out and i i took a lot under the conservative base
he can't make that argument that affect the conservative base he doesn't trust a
building with the regardless because of the day they may go ther party a stable
without the way the mailed is private-sector public-sector experienced
he refuses to do that different laughs at me
very awkward very superficial click ankle-deep in any policy area yemi of
course in mentioning romney karen any kind of positive light is a complete
taboo subject at this point for mit romney
you know i had statement that the the private sector experience i had been you
cannon on i think it was uh... i'd if there was a couple of weeks ago
and after a couple of times
what evidence do we have she's advising romney what evidence who we have that
being at the private-sector guyana good business person would lead to being a
good president to welcome wee point two
and she wanted to deflect and say well what we know is that old bomber
didn't have the experience and he's back
and that's been a buchanan around me advisor i'm not hearing then being able
to make the argument the connection between
he's a private-sector success and therefore will be a good president of
the woods the repeat it
well when you get into the logic of why that would be
i'm not haven't heard a compelling argument is that anyone making a
compelling case
one of their campaign strategy is
keep all the focus on all bomber if people don't hate ovr
and are entering the fire alarm out
then what's the point on ever switch worse image of otherwise
answer degree logic to that by bumps up against the fact that one that is that
people don't believe all of our work for the economy if there's a degree of
frustration with them bait the they accept that he was dealt with uh...
extremely bad again coming n and it's gonna take some time to gather dish that
we read
and sell if he doesn't help either case to make
or himself
he's caught hoping that people's hearts arrowbar about in a much fernanda
products' agree it a matter of weeks without hasn't happened yet so that's
all i a lot as a butter one basket in a does question where they have way too
narrow or strategy to actually pull this off in ten weeks
westley allan attach on and uh... in the little time we have left is uh... vice
presidential pick
weeks ago there was a rumor that we might hear within days that didn't
happen
what do you think the timing is most likely at this point and who do you
think is is running at the head of that race
by entirely is a bit of a
crack houses are so many days left before the convention
you know it's really question do they do it here this week during the olympics
because they want to have a guy on the hustings earlier
or they'll close to the convention have more drama of the convention and that i
can't get your money where their when i am interested in looking at is
does he pick someone closer to his own personal brand
no-frills
body down which should be a rock for bernard simple empty tide may be a bobby
jindal
and and
and that's what
situation has been but in recent days jersey this grassroots push
for paul ryan
uh...
and say you do need summer is going to be a game changer
is gonna really irritated robot on are dead issues and fiscal issues and that
and that means a bold embrace of the ryan house republican budget which
effectively is medicare as we know it
uh... and of rodney dot is that that social couple things one he he feels
he's in a week position and has to throw long ball attracted to be a portable
game changer which was the mikhailov through picking pale in p_c_r_ that
worked out
going this is black
to listened to the the squeaky wheels in is based out things like that so what
else to do that john kerry did that with john edwards john terry what depicted
dick gephardt not a flashy died not gray on the stump but he might have brought
in missouri and he brought a bizarre you would've won the race we listened to his
some of the party people the party base who really don't have a great sense of
these lists how do they got to talk about they assumed pitcher ever to be
this change agent-based break in the south rare white working class and he
was a total bust in two thousand four rob and i think that's a mistake maybe
ten fold any pics paul ryan arellano because we've had been bell suggestion
of michelle bachman but i think i can hold my breath
uh... bill share a campaign for america's future liberal oasis dot com
