. >> coming up, you remember alex castellanos. he's the guy that kept interrupting rachel on "meet the press." he was back this sunday and said some wicked nutty stuff, which means he's in tonight's rewrite. and it's never too early in politics. so hillary supporters are pushing hillary for president in 2016. but what about andrew kuo mow, the governor of new york, who has achieved marriage equality in new york and is now pushing for reducing the penalties for possession of marijuana? he's doing everything right to position himself for 2016. and let's not forget the sitting vice president of the united states, joe biden, who has not ruled out running for president. that's coming up. what's with you? trouble with a car insurance claim.

republican strategist alex castellano is here. kasim reed is here and senior advisory for the mitt romney presidential campaign, kevin madden. welcome to all of you. so kasim reed, mayor reed you see the economic reports. you are down in atlanta but around the country advocating on behalf of this president. was this a low moment for the campaign, a jobs report like this that really put this on the territory that mitt romney wants to fight on? >> i don't think it will be. we all knew this was going to be tough. when i watched the comments from the governor of ohio i think the slogan that mitt romney rolled out where they misspelled america and it said amercia, it should be amnesia. these folks have amnesia. when you talk about barack obama's record. created 4.2 million jobs. folks don't have conversation at all in this debate about the two wars president bush funded and put them on the credit card and not talking about the expansion of health care and the fact that we lost 8 million jobs going into this president's leadership. and

joining us now, alex castellanos and james carville. is it hypocritical? >> i guess to some extent it is. i don't know what we have in this campaign, bricks of glass. the thing is, is that who knows if it's comparable or not, sure does make the water murky for governor romney and attacks on solyndra. for a while it looked like they had a clean hit on the president. this does muddy the waters a little bit. it's pretty good news for the obama campaign. it's not that -- the greatest thing in the world, i don't think the solyndra attack was the greatest thing in the world, but it does murk it up and it did have some effect. >> does it muddy the watt summer. >> it does muddy the water a little bit, until you start parting the waters perhaps. it's pretty clear in some cases that mitt romney tried to defund this trust fund that funded these things. he vetoed the legislation. the loan for one of the instances was made before he became governor. and in fact by nature, mitt romney is a venture capitalist. what he did for a living is competed with these government in

. >> i want to bring in cnn political contributor alex castellanos and a senior strategist for prioritiesusa action, which is a pro obama super pac. bill, let's look at money. do you think it did have a big impact? a lot of democrats are saying it did. you look at some exit polls, people made up their minds long before the election. a lot of people didn't like the idea of a recall unless it was for gross misconduct. >> i think there's no doubt that money made a big difference for that small group of voters that john king identified who decided late. i think going into this everyone knew there was going to be a very small universe of voters who were persuadable. when you have that kind of gross spending differential between the democrats and republicans, it's going to make a difference. democrats had an amazing ground game. what we saw here was that was not enough to overcome all of that money that poured into the state and poured into the republican side for scott walker. >> alex, do you see that, that the democrats were overspent? >> let's look at meg whit man in california. all the mone
