how is that playing out so far, beth? >> well, it's giving voters a preview of the general election because the argument the are making is similar to the one we've been hearing from the democratic party and allies of obama, that romney is not the job creator he makes himself out to be, but actually, you know, this corporate raider who preys on working people and milks companies for profit at their expense. gwen: is that significant that they are making the same argument republicans are making, and that's romney's point, that you're consorting with the enemy. >> and you're seeing tremendous backlash. folks who never cared for romney are leaping to his defense because they fear it muddles the vision of the republican party. be clear that the republican party is on the side of business and free enterprise so newt gingrich and rick perry are muddying the water. gwen: but, jeanne, mitt romney is well positioned to fight back, isn't he? >> i should say. he has raised more money than anyone, he's running more ads. he's following
