let's bring in democratic strategist chris kofinis tonight. chris, good to have you with us, you've been down this road before, the mud slinging back and forth about what's true and what isn't. is there a difference between these two political ads? >> there's a huge difference, there's a huge difference, i think, legally, if nothing else. legally, you cannot coordinate between an independent group and a campaign. you'd be breaking the law if you did, so right there there's a difference. then i would say just in terms of the message, you know, the romney ad, that is their message. that is something that the romney campaign approved, that governor romney now owns. the ad that was put out by priorities usa is not an ad on behalf of the obama campaign. it wasn't put out by the obama campaign. it was not funded by the obama campaign, so there's a fundamental difference. but, you know, i find it somewhat ironic, to say the least, when you think about the fact that -- you think about the fact that newt gingrich is out there defending governor romney.

chris kofinis, former chief of staff to west virgina senator, joe manchin. we have interesting debate. both of these guys of different parties are rejoicing in this pick. let's talk about it. why, chip? >> it makes a lot of fun. i think what governor romney did with congressman ryan make a stark contrast between the fundamental policies of barack obama which are taking this government down the wrong path and mitt romney and paul ryan want to do. talk about not only balancing the budget, taking care of the debt but traditional social conservatives. that has a lot of people excited. that will be exciting 85 days we've got left. jon: chris, you're excited as a democrat with this pick, why? >> i'm ecstatic. anytime you can make the distinctionness between campaigns clearer that is positive, when you, meaning democrats, believe that the distinction is in your favor. if you look at, i think the narrative that has been built up in this election, the idea that the democrats are out there fighting for the middle class, the mitt romney, republicans are fighting for up

chris kofinis, a democratic strategist. ion to you, just the performance, forget the data in the speech, thumbs up and a phrase to describe it, did he deliver. chris you go first. >> i give him a thumbs neutral and the phrase i would use, better than eastwood. adam: better than eastwood. okay, ford, respond. >> successful. he portrayed himself as the adult in the race. adam: okay. we've got the adult and we've got eastwood. there was a moment in his speech last night some people are refering to almost like, mr. gorbachev, reagan, tear down that wall. listen to this portion of the speech. [cheers and applause] adam: think we've got, i think we're having trouble with that. let me tell you it was the portion where he describes the president, look you promised to lower sea levels, you promised to stop global warm. i problem to help your family. ford,s that has to be a winner, right. >> absolutely. these are serious times and we need serious solutions. i will deliver on the jobs and energy security. adam: chris? >> it was a good

. >> democratic strategist chris kofinis agrees and he's fear to set it straight tonight. >> corporations. >> romney thinks corporations are people, but when it comes to releasing his tax returns, mitt says he's not a business. the big panel weighs in on the romney reverse. >>> and the romney camp is out with yet another lie. >> president obama used his health care plan to declare war on religion. >>> plus, the nuns on a bus challenge mitt to spend a day on tour. sister simone campbell tells us why mitt romney needs to be educated on america's poor. >>> good to have you with us tonight, folks, thanks for watching. mitt romney finally responded to a pro-obama super pac ad. the ad features former steelworker joe soptic. it tells joe's story after he was laid off from a plant closed by bain capital. romney called the ad inaccurate. >> you know, in the past when people pointed out that something was inaccurate, why, campaigns either pulled the ad, they were embarrassed. today they just blast ahead. >> really? mitt romney wants campaigns to pull inaccurate ads? someone should ask mitt romney w

chris kofinis, former chief of staff to senator joe manchin. ron bonjean, former communications director to dennis hastert. chris, what about that. what about the campaigns going off on talking about medicare and not talking about job creation? why? >> it is an interesting strategy. what is happening here the agenda changed once the republicans made the decision to focus on medicare. now listen, personally from a, not just from a democrat perspective from a strategist perspective i think it is boldly foolish because it is an argument that when you scratch the surface the republicans don't have a good argument. same thing they're criticizing president obama for, the $716 billion savings, cost savings, it is knot a cut, right is same thing ryan has in his budget. you start scratching past the surface of the rhetoric, what you realize is voucherize a program and create a lot of anxiety among seniors who are currently on --. jenna: we're going down the road again. just replaying the covers everyone had over the last weekend. no one is asking for spe

thank you very much, chris kofinis, michael steele.got it. >> thank you. >>> to today's number ones. first they flocked to london for pursuit of olympic gold but they certainly don't need a paycheck. lebron james the king of cash, a one-year paycheck of a hefty $53 million edges out roger federer and kobe bryant, each trailing by $1 million. to those who make a mint writing books, we'll say. james patterson tops a new forbes list of the top earning authors with a 12-month paycheck adding up to an astounding $94 million. the prolific patterson's earnings are more than double stephen king's $39 million income and nearly janet ivanovic's $33 million purse. at the box office, it looks like the bourne legacy will end "the dark knight's" four-week stay at number one. legacy is expected to make about $40 million just this weekend. >>> come on. >> well, easy does it, there, in ft. myers, florida. happy the goat, yeah, has set the guinness record for the longest skateboard ride by a goat. happy rode, if that's the name, an amazing 118 feet in 2
