i do think ron fournier is right. there was a point in this campaign, you remember not so long ago when paul ryan said this is going to be a campaign fought along big idealogicals. you'll see him today in ohio giving a speech about poverty but a lot of these speeches and brochures that obama has laid out today about his plan are really just repackaged vagaries that we already know about. but i think there is a sort of faux expense now that they're releasing these details but again, i think they're very sparse and certainly we don't have a sense of how a mitt romney would govern with a divided congress that will probably happen in terms of the division of congress.no one knows. so far, i think they've been able to get away with giving these sort of vague pie in the sky ideas about increasing bipartisanship and things like that. >> i want to bringing in karen bass, congresswoman. democrat from california. congresswoman, good morning. >> good morning. >> i think you've heard the conversation. there's criticism from both

the sad thing about miss fournier, the 14-year-old who passed away, is that she had cardiac arrhythmia, and so what they have to do is link the two. over 8 billion cans of monster drink have been sold. this is the first of its type. i think this is a problem of causation, but i do think, fredricka, that fda really needs to revise its regulations, look at monster drink in equivalent drinks like that, not as an energy supplement or a dietary supplement, rather, which is what they characterize themselves, but rather as a beverage so that there's a better monitoring of this. i don't think they're going to prevail. maybe they'll get a private settlement, but i'm not optimistic for the family, unfortunately. >> okay. richard, the monster beverage has released a statement saying, quote, it was sadnd by the death, but pledged to vigorously defend itself in court. how will it go about doing that. here's the exact wording of that statement. so how will they continue to defend themselves? >> well, the first thing they'll do, fred, is take the can and blow up the picture of the can which says, thi
