the fact that the president talked about allen town and then allen town is actually closing manufacturing jobs. the ad is brilliant. he has consistently got very good ads that are provocative and well put together. i think the thing i think about romney is he is running against obama. everybody else is fighting it out and he is just like i'm the frontrunner, i'm going to act like it. >> laura: he is acting like it. joe, lime looking at all these polls that a republican fairs very well against obama in these polls. individual candidates not as well. in my theory what romney is doing, he is running as a generic republican. that's a winning formula, perhaps for him. >> right. and taking on obama, this ad is very effective in making a case, particularly one that primary voters will respond to right now. the problem is there is sort of this leaping ahead of time here where it's, you know, sort of setting yourself as the de facto nominee, which i do think is dangerous. because sooner or later, you can't ignore the rest of the field. i mean, you have got to get michele bachmann can come up and s

successful generals so petraeus has been that sort of the general for that whether or not general allen or anyone for that matter in there and start can be a combat commander general in the wake of the trejos and with what's happening now is really questionable so i'm wondering guy would come to mind you know you're saying that congressman often like you hide behind these generals when they hammered you think that we're starting to see a little bit of a shift in a sense where some lawmakers are being more vocal about opposing the war yes about wanting to bring troops home ten years from our war vietnam or if you believe thirteen years if you want to go back all the way to the beginning the real beginning of southeast asian conflicts but yes i think you're right i think the physical status alone the money the trillions of dollars that reporting down the call first up nothing. is beginning to serve people when will we should begin to do certain people well that's one person that's to serve right now in this isn't specifically tied to the war in afghanistan although i guess you can say tha
