even somebody as light weight as romney could get in. >> eric: you have to list that the list of democrats jumping off the obama bandwagon -- >> bob: i don't know. >> eric: bill clinton. clinton said all, talk about romney's time at bain capital, he had a sterling record at bain capital. that undermined obama. >> bob: it did. booker, the guys are not jumping ship. >> kimberly: that photo is like a mirage. he may stand next to him but he is not with him. he is not. and other people aren't as well. we see thursday and friday of next week, the disastrous poll numbers i believe are coming like a bad wind from friday's economic numbers then we'll see. more people will talk about him. >> andrea: if people from your party is jumping ship it's a sign of your weakness. a lot of democrats think the president likely won't win. add senator dianne feinstein who said that bain capital is
