[ laughter ] >> i bet it did. >> except you multiply that by 73, and that's what newt had to deal with. >> mr. speaker, that could have been joe in congress or yesterday in the newsroom. >> exactly. >> i'm not sure. >> so i guess the question of the hour, willie geist, has to be there is a snake that goes 35 miles an hour? i never knew this. that's what chris matthews said. >> the mamba? >> so what were you thinking as chris matthews came at you 35 miles an hour with all of these questions about reptiles when you were going on there to talk politics? >> you know, part of the reason that chr

>> donny deutsche. >> that's a pretty good endorsement.t's got a significant amount of money behind it. it gives an early glimpse into the themes romney is trying to promote. it's up in ohio, iowa, virginia, a little in north carolina. this is the opening bid. i was struck by a couple things. it's not the disimbowlment they want. the folks up in boston made a calculation they are going to leave the dirty look and present obama in a softer focus. >> i have heard progressives, democrats to say it's one thing to attack president obama's record but what is your plan, romney. what is his economic plan. >> tax agenda to make capital more attractive. >> specifically. >> reducing tax rates across the board making it easier and less expensive to invest in american companies. deregulation. putting a fine tooth comb to the regulatory regime so it's easier to deploy capital from abroad. in short, it's a very competitive regime. >> real quick, what's good about the ad, the devil you know versus the unknown. now, they are painting a picture, literally.

donny?know, i think there's a difference between private equity and what it really is and what we understand inside baseball versus what i think obama is doing, is basically saying, he is a rich guy. it's wall street. it's all of that. private equity is one of those words that the average american thinks is a bad thing, like hedge funds. so there's the literal translation. but i think obama is just trying to tar him with rich, disconnected guy to the average guy. >> i'd change that only slightly. if you talk to obama's advisers, and they hold a lot of press calls with reporters to try and guide our thinking about this, the buzz word you hear again and again from them is "values." and the argument is this isn't so much a business issue as a values issue. if you look at the ads and the bankruptcies and the layoffs, that's really what they want to staple to mitt romney. they want to discredit his business career so that voters don't think to themselves, gee, the economy isn't as strong as i'd l

donny, should democrats put money into this race? >> yes. this is a competitive race.d to the former mayor of fort wayne and he said that democrats are excited and independents are looking hard at joe donnelly. >> really? >> yes. >> he is a pro-life pro--gun blue-dog democrat. >> indiana is a conservative midwestern state especially indianapolis and the southern half, they talk a lot like eme. they have a southern accent. it's a state where a blue dog like donnelly has a shot. obama won the state four years ago just by a few thousand votes but he won the state for the first time. >> essentially a democratic lugar. >> the moderatemoderates, h hee geetts ten tak t. it oumit.s e o >> it realifmininds me of ca liere fo trndia t whomeratee ween d to puicans noromine tatewide o ic re pu blthat areicorans for cstservativat tewnide of fi thece that are more conservative than the broader base and then lose in theelection. >> yeah. >> i think donnie is right. this is one to put your money on because i think the democrats -- >> i know you are a moderate republican. you've got to
