let me bring in the notebook legendary reporter for buzzfeed and rolling stone, michael hastings.k to me about biden for a second. why go out and bother to respond to this stuff? >> sure, okay, so the obama campaign at this stage we're four years in. we're used to these attacks on the background, trying to say that he's not an american. questioning where he was born. we knows drill he's from kenya etc. etc. most of the time they ignore the attacks. what happened here was the angelo saxon comment seemed to get traction in the main treatmentmainstreampress. they had to bring vice president biden to stamp this down before it went viral before it jumped to the french press and became a talking point. by coming out now strongly against the angelo saxon thing it puts the romney camp in an embarrassing position where they may want to avoid these racially charged attacks. >> cenk: all right now what is the romney camp's point here? do they think that, hey if we just lock up the racist vote we'll be set? don't they already have that vote locked up? >> look, part of it--part of the issue is
