joining these karl frisch is a democratic strategist at bull fights
strategies carl we've been talking over the last day week month
about what's going to be the best tactic for democrats and the obama campaign to
go after mit romney and and the question is not really what is there about mit
romney to go after right it's almost like that it is really too much i mean
we've talked about his incredible patriotism claims which then ended up
with him
supporting the vietnam war but actually going to france is a mormon missionary
his suppose it dot creation at bain which resulted in the destruction of
countless jobs he profited uh... hand early though
and then there's the flip-flopping on absolutely everything she was
is it going to be actually more difficult in a way because as we know
the country ed by and large this does not like a nuance any if you have to go
into detail and explain
wire on the is in a good candidate
they may actually be a negative thing what do you think what's the best tactic
well i think the way that they're going to have been right now it's pretty good
contrary to what the big in the rear and uh...
mary were quite certain uh...
quietly
talking about being in the in the terms that they have you know that this is
about real people
is about people who lost their jobs
uh... is a good thing
uh...
it because that is an emotional level with people
and it even a *** complicated about what the financial services industry is
is that talk about what metromedia in the recent remember that we're talking
about
big capital uh... is not because of some vendetta against that industry although
it doesn't eat many of them reforms
it's because
that's what we're only talks about they're only talks about being on any
given day whether it's a hundred thousand jobs whether it's tens of
thousands of jobs were its thousands of jobs
this is what mit romney is claiming
uh... of course is not true and in fact he's been responsible for firing of many
many people
so he could product
uh... but that's why we're talking about this in the one thing on that but i
wonder though as i was just reading at the the polling agency escapes me but i
looked at a poll today this is only fifty three percent of americans even
know what bain capital is right now
so while are great with you that it's a compelling case and that is one that
ronnie has made
the forefront of his suppose agrawal vacations to be president so that's
really why we're talking about it
it doesn't at least yet seem to be getting through to the average person
only to about one and two
sure ross you know i was the president on
that that many people will be an issue
is frankly as much as it was talked about their own primary rubber although
follow politics the way that you and i did
uh... they'll read the paper it you know that
integrated system news delivered
they don't go online to check the blogs everyday they don't check out uh...
programs like this are earlier
you know when this is the cc then fox news
you know what the *** is that the date three million people tune in
there's three hundred million people in this country but you know more than half
of which votes show
i'm not surprised that few people know about being it is and it's the
responsibility of
uh... democrats progresses the president's campaign democratic party
to get out there and educate people but remember people are not engage in this
race until after the conventions is just the way it's always been
it's unfortunate that people uh...
the indian government gave
earlier on but let's remember him in a lot of things to worry about that they
don't worry about being unit brokerage firm the previous president
putting food on their family
keeping their job or jobs uh... as the case might be so it's not you know
surprising that they're not gauged in this process just yet uh... but i have a
feeling
uh... that even when metro new blues is a november people may not know what day
news but they won't know that they brought me was not good for jobs and
injuries were talking about being which by the way it happened before he was
governor of massachusetts is because we're not talking about him being
governor either
uh... bad feeling will gets that eventually rhonda my concern though is
that again let me when we think about
simple arguments verses nuance arguments when when they
when someone and i don't know who it will be but somebody inevitably will
come after him and say you know you talked about
your job creation of successes at bain
you read governor of massachusetts and during that time nasa chooses his forty
seventh in job creation already there
yeah these are the only reason i was forty seven is because the three states
ahead or behind rather uh... declaring victory itself there are enough but
something taken very simply come back and say
progressive legislature aka divine thing
and then that i worry that that's going to resonate with with voters
well certainly it might have some people but i don't think it will uh...
independence there are plenty
of the republican governors representing
uh... new england states that are
uh... connecticut ryland other places
uh... delaware
uh... and they did just fine in terms of job creation that in that period it was
the romney's failures governor
uh... but goes directly to what he thinks the responsibility of government
is he thinks and he says it on the stump every single day
that he will take his business experience into the white house when he
goes there or if you give us their uh...
well he did the same thing in massachusetts and regards
mit romney is not concerned about creating jobs is concerned about passing
well-thought whose work friends
do you think that uh... if
if democrats and president obama
take a more a kind of shotgun approach where you want it
hit all of the different weaknesses of mit romney as opposed to being hyper
focused on one
that it would seema more effective that the reaction from the average book voter
would be
looked at just criticizing the guide for anything they can and negatively affect
the perception what what are the risks and rewards to a kind of shotgun
strategy
well i think u
and uh... confusing people if you if you don't have a methodical approach to the
president's campaign is doing right now
it also has a lot more difficult for somebody watching at home
to engage in an emotional level when the attacks to scatter
i think that the president's campaign is doing precisely right
uh... you've got a slowly see of these issues with people show those specific
examples
true the real people that have been infected by
uh... mitt romney's tactics these are people just like anybody else
of that did nothing wrong with your co-worker did they work they retirees
are families they were
you haven't read the communities in iran is somebody came in
uh... and has the story has been told many many times they would pile them up
with that
reap the rewards
push those companies into bankruptcy firewheel police
uh... in
that's not something people walked by i think the reason
the economy has struggled to get back on track
under any other circumstances
this race will be going to departing on power
the reason it is so close personal women that young people in independence
uh... and the elderly according to the latest msnbc call favor obama is because
they don't trust that romney as much as the right wing is when we talk about the
work that you bush
uh... they don't want to return to those policies remembers mitt romney's only
economic riser
missus romney's policies would be george bush's policies are steroids
and that's very thoughtful here
uh... okay carl we've been speaking with call for she is a democratic strategist
