chris christie, this was his moment. as mrs.ey gave a great speech. >> eliot: it was sweet, it was caring, and i think she did a wonderful set up for herself and her husband as was appropriate to the setting. but crises christie did not mention romney until 17 minutes in. >> he mentioned "is" throughout the speech. >> eliot: it was deaf indulgent arrogant business. >> and this is what we saw. this is the campaign where no one's excited about governor romney. in lieu of being likable, he had to send out the crowd to say how likable he was. it was incredible to see how it was the man who wasn't there and they were building it around him. rand paul, paul ryan and chris christie's may an ended. >> eliot: the truthfulness of lies and reality i'm deeply troubled there is greater distance in what politicians say and do and reality. this is a trend that is getting worse. >> we saw this last night. the story of how the mainstream media did pay attention that paul ryan had falsehood is a generous term. there was shading and then outright

and chris christie with the white working class voters. and of course the san antonio mayor, latino minority voters. and young voters. and so they both were shooting for a target. and christie's case, his speech read better than it was delivered. and in the case of san antonio mayor, wow, that was sort of like an obama 2004 moment. he really knocked that thing out of the park. a very good speech. >> there was another important difference in those two speeches also. and that was that christie did not prosecute the case against the president. en: no. >> mayor castro prosecuted very hard the case against mitt romney. and in that sense, that's partly the traditional role of the keynoter. and obviously the layout of some themes as christie did. christie tried to say this is a big election. we have to have big choices. but he did not consistently or regularly go after either president obama's record or his leadership style. >> and when he barely mentioned romney. >> barely mentioned romney. gwen: go ahead. >> i was going to say one other thing t

the headline, christie delivers a primetime dud. they write, there's no mistaking what a successful keynote speech for chris christie would have looked and sounded like. there would have been an electric reaction from the crowd in the convention hall. it would have been followed by waves of effusive media commentary about how people had just heard the future of the republican party. there is no mistaking what the new jersey delivered instead. a primetime belly flop when he notably failed to clear either of those two high bars. are you still the future of this party, do you believe? >> well, mitt romney is the future of this party, first of all. he's going to be elected president on november 6. and then from there lead our country back to greatness. and believe me, if i took seriously judgment of my speeches by those two, i would not be in business for very long. >> governor chris christie, we'll leave it there. thank you as always. >> great to be with you, david. >>> let me now turn to the president's senior adviser david plouffe. w
