wallace is here. karl rove deputy chief of staff to president george w. bush and a "fox news" contributor and joe trippi. howard paign manager for dean. the auto bail-out was the last thing martha mccallum mentioned. i heard more than one democrat say today if it comes down to the auto bail-out barack obama wins the state of ohio and most likely wins the presidency. >> well, you know, actually it's a question i would like to ask karl. why did mitt romney come up with a column, a column in the es" saying let detroit go bankrupt? was there a reason for that? >> that's not what he said in his column it's what "the new york times" headline writer wrote. >> he said send it into a managed bankruptcy. pened.t's what hap president obama sent it into an reorganization. a plan to reorganize the auto companies looks similar to what the president did except he wouldn't have bailed out given the big ownership stakes to the unions. here is what it shows. it shows the power of the anonymous guy who wrote the headline on his op ed. if you read that is a calling for a managed reorganization. >> it is something that mitt romney
