cain had to say about the economy, but in the context of that romney ad, it only presented the words as if they were coming right out of the president's mouth and that wasn't the case. i've tried to go back to the romney campaign and say was this the ad that you corrected or removed. they just haven't gotten back to me on that. but anderson, mii mean, the rean why this is so important and crucial to the romney campaign, this line of attack on welfare and on welfare reform, what they accuse the president of doing with welfare reform, it fits into a narrative that they've been trying to say about the president for weeks now and that is that the president encourages government dependency, that he would rather see people who are dependent on government than go back into the work force and you heard mitt romney talk about that in the interview today, that he wants to get more people back to work instead of being dependent on government, and so that is why you did not see him back away from that claim today. >> lori, do you recall the romney campaign removing or correcting any ads or frank
on the right track. >> secretary reish -- >> if i could just say one thing before we go to the economy, i think it's much more dangerous in terms of public opinion to jump to conclusions. to say, for example, there are weapons of mass destruction in a country where it turns out there are not weapons of mass destruction, i think again, you want to be very careful before you cast blame and you label people terrorists. i think the administration has been enormously responsible. the easiest -- >> you also don't want to downplay it and say it was attributed to a video when that clearly wasn't the case and they were overtaken by facts. >> let's move on to the economic front. secretary reish, the obama campaign has been making some very specific claims about how mitt romney's tax plan would affect the middle class. the governor can fight back by offering evidence the claims aren't true. do you think they have done enough to actually offer specifics, and do you think he's going to have to do that at the debate? >> i think he's going to have to offer specifics at some time, anderson. i mean, look, there
to the right? it's the economy, stupid. you're running against a president with 8% unemployment and 1.3% gdp growth. i can't imagine why you would talk about anything else, especially race, which this president i think has done a wonderful job of leading us on. >> eric, why a speech from 2007 being released now, tonight? is it anything other than politics or why do you think it's significant? >> well, i think there's an expression of frustration on the right, among a lot of people who feel like major members of the media have spent a lot of time vetting republicans in a way they never did about barack obama, including this and from what i'm being told tonight, there's actually a portion of this that we haven't seen, and i think it feeds into a perception on the right that the media hasn't really vetted barack obama as they have republicans, and that you have the democratic national committee tonight already sending out press releases of reporters' reactions being dismissive of this. there's a huge perception on the right that the media has behaved badly in this campaign, whether members of t

when voters are asked who do you most trust to handle the economy. if the challenger in this economy can't get a lead on the president on that question, he won't win. >> ari, do you agree with that, on that key question? >> well, it all comes down to the sample size and the poll. again, if the polls oversample democrats, of course you will get that answer. here's why, anderson, i think you have to dig a little deep. in the last six days, there have been seven polls in the state of florida. one of them has obama -- one of them has romney up by one point. the rest are a very close race within the margin of error, one point, three points, four points, four points, one for five points. a poll came out that shows the president is up nine points. here's how they got there. they have nine percentage point more democrat turnout than republican. it's a fantasy. in the 2008 obama landslide it was advantage for the democrats of just three points. republicans won florida in 2004, republicans turned out by four percentage points more. you just can't have those kind of swings, the numbers aren't r
it comes to this economy. he has to say look, barack obama, you may have succeeded as a politician but you haven't succeeded as a president. i know what it takes to succeed in life, i've done it a lot in business creating growth and jobs. let's talk about that. >> it does seem in the last couple days his campaign has been kind of trying to make him seem like a warmer guy. i mean, that photo -- >> hes loosened his tie, taken it off. he's laughed a little more. the job for mitt romney clearly is to get in the ring, get in the arena and to show that he can handle these tough issues. he hasn't been specific. he has to avoid talking about taxes, has to avoid talking about the 47%. he has to play offense. and president obama has to make sure that he doesn't play preventive defense. >> just being on that stage with the president, does that make mitt romney seem more presidential? >> absolutely. debates are great levellers. any time you're in the ring with the president of the united states, it tends to bring the water level up for both candidates. >> but let me just tell you, i will never forget
