carl rove knows which states we need to win. >> i want to look at the details.es that john mccain won and then he has to win back three republican states from obama, indiana, virginia, north carolina. the president won indiana and north carolina but only by 1% or less in 2008. i think the real challenge here if you look at the polls is going to be virginia. >> for mitt romney, yes. nbc had a poll out last week that had the president leading in virginia. if you talk to the obama folks they believe that there are more than 40 different pathways to the presidency. mitt romney has to win florida. for democrats back in the day we had to win florida. we had to win ohio. >> you're jumping ahead. >> sorry. yes. i think that the president has a lot of different pathways to the presidency. mitt romney has few pathways. it is still a close race. we are leading in those three important battle grounds. >> let's take a look at the second part of the strategy, alice. it's to win ohio and florida worth -- wait a minute. hold on. that's correct. worth 47 electoral votes. the rac

carl rove. >> why aren't there enough people out there writing big check snz. >> let's be clear. what you are talking about on their side are casino magnets, big oil. you are talking about the wealthiest contributors in america, people who want like romney to play by a separate set of rules. they were able to do that back during the bush administration. they would like to do that again. they are writing very, very huge checks. the fact is we don't have that kind of money on our side. >> thank you very much. it is always good to see you. is it that democrats don't have that kind of money on their side or is it that there isn't the enthusiasm for barack obama? >> don't have the enthusiasm at this time because circumstances are very different. barack obama was a very exciting and new candidate at a time when there was a lot of anger on the left and disenchantment on the right. these days there is this energy on the right that we can see. and on the left the obama campaign has not yet begun to fight in many ways. i think they are looking ahead to the fall as being the real big campai

as you know, carl rove was very good, and in key states like florida and ohio, all those things that will target specific voting blocks for a turnout. so it may not be right there in the forefront of a campaign, but under the radar, there will be a lot of stocking of those fires. >> i don't like having rob reiner on this show because he knows more than most others. good luck with the latest film. great filmmaker. i still love "a few good men." i still love "princess bride," as you know. this weekend on the chris matthews show, andrew sullivan's emotional reaction. see the president's new stance on gay marriage. >> to tell you the truth, i didn't realize how important it would be until it happened. beforehand, i was kind of steeled. i was like, i don't care, he's going to disappoint us again, and then i sat down and watched our president tell me that i am his equal. >> wow, it's just as emotional as that, as you see. more to see on the chris matthews show. why is the white house talking trash about joe bidden so openly with the press? i know why they're mad. he jumped the gun. how mat

republicans, there is a measure that's in the congress that would try to do just this, and what carl rovese guys will say is, we're afraid we'll be targeted by the scary democrats. well, you know what, if you aren't willing to put your name on the fact that you're supporting these things, then you probably shouldn't be doing them in the first place. and we all -- with our economic power, we can make decisions. if i don't want to do my business at ameritrade anymore because rickets is talking about doing this ad against president obama, i have a right to know this is the kind of thing he's funding. >> but there's a flip side to that, some elected officials don't want people to know where money is being spent, either, because they're perfectly happy to have super pacs do things on their behalf, and they can claim, i don't know where it's coming from and i'm not associated with it. >> obviously, it's a very powerful posture if you can remain anonymous, you're a billionaire, you can orchestrate immediate campaign, launch it, and really with any narrative you want, and you can do it as a singl

the carl rove crowd cannot put one of these things on the ballot in one of those states they want toaway from the president, because they already did. >> right. right. you know, i want to back up for a second and say civil rights should never be on the ballot. you should never give the masses to vote for whether or not a certain group has the right to do something. quite often, the masses get it wrong. if we put suffrage on the ballot, a locality of people would vote to take that away. we should not allow people to vote up or down. that should not be part of what we do. >> jonathan capehart, would you say this works to the president's benefit? is there a loss to him here? i want to look at it and say is there some advantage to him here. we've seen an advantage in fund-raising. leaving fund-raising aside, do we see an electoral advantage for the president in this choice? >> electoral advantage in right now i can't answer that question affirmatively. we have to see down the road where independents are, in relation to the president now that he's made this decision. and, you know, the ga

for example, there is a new $10 million carl rove ad buy saying that unprecedented spending is out of republican talking point. of all of the falsehoods told about president obama, the biggest whopper is the one about his reckless spending spree. it didn't happen. even happenless hoover managed to increase spending more than obama has. jay gave the press an ear full, stopping just shy of cursing. >> i make the point to check it out. they do not buy into the ds that you hear about spending. i think doing is a sign of sloth and laziness. in the post war era, the only two presidents under which the size of the federal government shrank, not reagan, nixon bush or bush. president carter. how could that be? well it's a fact. so next time you are lectured by a republican member of congress who voted for all the budget busting measures under the previous administration, remind them of that record on my behalf. >> we're about to have a test of that. watch. >> what would the united states look like at the end of 2013 in terms of jobs, unemployment and economic growth. >> you would see a dramati

a billion dollars from the coke brothers, carl rove, the super pacs, that is an astannishing amount of money. >> it is an astonishing amount of money and after everyone thought the president would raise about a billion dollars, so it is a lot of money on both sides and a lot of money not controlled by the campaigns. >> the super pac money. >> the super pac money which can be problematic for both sides if they start having donors who say i think this is the better way to go and spend 5 or $10 million on an ad campaign they don't like. >> let me bring in the campaign numbers we're showing, 400 million from the coke brothers, 300 million to restore our future, 100 million, staggering and we have seen in the primary the influence these -- i don't know if you call them a handful of billionaires. how many does it take to fill a hand. nonetheless, some very powerful people, ann, who are in many ways right now directing the ads that those who are tuned in are seeing. >> well, that's right. this is why you see democrats in the white house so worried. not that they're going to have any shortage
