brad woodhouse, i think the dnc under brad woodhouse is doing a good job.e are too many democrats who don't understand their job and their job is not to play nice nice and find ways they can say bad things about obama and good things about republicans. their job is to go out and deliver the message. we don't need anymore democrats delivering the message like cory booker. save the team. 1-866-55-press. more calls coming up. >> announcer: this is the "bill press show." vice president al gore joins jennifer granholm. >>we're just getting started. >>the state of the 2012 campain. brought to you by spiriva handihaler. >> announcer: listen and watch the "bill press show" on your favorite radio station and now on current tv. this is the "bill press show." welcome to the spin room. >> bill: 13 minutes before the top of the hour. sam collender economist in studio with us at the top of the next hour to talk about facebook among -- and bain capital among other issues. right now, we're taking your calls about the latest survey by fairly dickinson university. showing th

we have brad woodhouse, communication director, democratic national committee, and shawn spicer, republican national committee with the same job. okay, gentlemen. brad, i go to you first, as i always do in the spirit of fairness and equal handedness, if there is such a word. here's the thing. your ad says go. i say now. this is going to be judged on the now economy. stagnant wages. stagnant jobs. a sputtering economic recovery. i think you're in a pickle, buddy. what are you going to do about it? >> i think the ad speaks for itself. and quite frank lyric i think the results speak for itself. no one thinks that we're going as far and as fast as we want to, but you know what? we're a heck of a lot better than we were losing 800 thousand jobs a month. and i heard you talk about the gdp growth in the last quarter. look, the last quarter of the bush administration declined at an 8.6% rate. 8.6% decline. so i think we would love to have a break, creating jobs rather than losing jobs. so we're headed in the right direction. we want to get there faster, and we would if republicans in congress -- >>

joining us now for a "kudlow" face-off, brad woodhouse, communications director at the democratic nationalee, and sean spicer from the republican national committee. gentlemen, welcome. let me begin with you, brad. >> sure. >> here you have one of the most -- one of the most prominent democrats in the country, a black american mayor of newark saying that the ad is nauseating. how do you react to that? >> well, first of all, i would say a more prominent, a more prominent surrogate for this is the president himself. mayor booker is an outstanding mayor. he made a mistake. he recognized that. he agrees, as the president said today, that, look, if you have a resume that you're running for president on, that resume is going to be examined. i mean, mitt romney would have you believe that his record shouldn't be examined in running for president. his record is going to be examined, the good of it he is going to talk about. the bad of it, or what we think is the real record is what we're going to talk about. >> all right. >> it's absolutely fair game. >> all right. well, that would seem to be corr

i don't know whether you had a chance to hear but just in the last segment, brad woodhouse, communications because i challenged brad about wisconsin. let's listen and get your response. >> we absolutely are supporting tom barrett. remember the dnc and campaign are really one entity in all of this. our entire field operation in wisconsin that would otherwise be organizing to reelect the president is all devoted to tom parrett right now. the chair is going there next week to host a fundraiser for him. we have an e-mail solicitation going out. >> is the dnc going to put any money in? >> we are absolutely. we are raising to go directly into that race. one of the hottest things on the internet right now is wisconsin. so we are going to go out to our donors and raise money and we are going to raise money either directly into the state party there or directly into the barrett campaign. whatever we are legally allowed to do. >> so what do you think, matt? do you have the help you need from the dnc? >> it's a joke. where have these guys been? we are going to do this. the day is 13 days away. we are

. >> let me bring in brad woodhouse. good morning. >> good morning. >> the bottom line to all of this is that trump is helping to raise a lot of money for mitt romney. obviously more than $2 million they say last night from the obama campaign perspective. does bringing in all that cash hurt you more than donald trump going on and on as a birther? >> look, i question mitt romney's judgment here. i don't think he needs donald trump to raise money. he's a presidential candidate in his own rite. it was announced this morning that outside groups are going to spend a billion dollars to try to defeat the president. i think it says donald trump wants to campaign with mitt romney and mitt romney is too weak to say no. he won't stand up to the extreme voices in his party. if donald trump says jump mitt romney says how high. >> let me play for you what she said about an hour ago. >> governor romney has said he believes the president was born in the united states. he said it repeatedly. he said he thinks the issue is closed and that
