. >> you know, well, look, the problems john edwards subsequently had would never have been uncoveredy the vet because the truth was as far as i know none of that was going on at that time in 2004. look, you can get misled by some data in this process. for example, in 2004, we took a poll in missouri. we took a poll in ohio. edwards came out better even in missouri in terms of helping the ticket than dick gephardt did. we should have stepped back from the poll and said, wait a minute, this poll doesn't matter, just like the polls we're talking about today don't matter much. there's a huge number in "the new york times" that's totally wrong, that's the president's favorable, unfavorable, because it's out of line with contemporaneous polls taken by other organizations. we should have stepped back and said, look, dick gephardt has institutional advantages and we probably should shave picked hi. that was john kerry's instinct. his instinct got overcome by the process and demand inside the democratic party to pick someone exciting like john edwards. so i think you have to be very careful.

neither are mike huckabee, bill clinton, neither of them are john edwards circa about 1998. they're not in that mold. both are trying to be because they know what's that works, but it's not a natural fit. certainly for mitt romney and not barack obama. >> for the bus trip, it might be reagan democrat. the question is, how is it going to play with swing voters and polls show this line of attack resonates with swing state voters. the latest quinnipiac poll, he's up by six in pennsylvania. the unemployment rate in both of those states is lower than the national average. what's the purpose of a bus trip in 2012 politics? >> i mean, some of it is pure symbolism, michael. i think the cake is largely baked when it comes to what people know about president obama and the economy. we've seen all these different things have happened and it's basically obama between 47 and 49 and romney between 45 and 48. there's not that many swing voters. to the extent there are, you want to do with that bus tour is man of the people. he's out there. he's not flying from place to place. he's taking a

yet you don't see barack obama or hillary clinton when she ran for president or john edwards when heor president or joe biden when he ran for president, none of them were out there championing an assault weapon ban. it's dead in congress right now because of public opinion. again, i'll say the well meaning people trying to change the debate on this have spent time and some resources overwhelmed by resources on the other side trying to change it and they haven't. >> last word, tom. >> frankly, i think people have given up in this country. it's clear we go from one strategy to the next. i think people have simply given up. they have seen nothing has been done by political leaders, they see the power of the gun lobby and they have given up. they don't look at the reality that other free nations don't have this problem. it's shameful the level we have, the level of gun violence and yet we do nothing. those other countries have done something. can you argue those nations are not free? are they somehow less free than us? there's a lot more concern for the individual. >> my brother is a gun

. >> in that race, he was the one who is running to the right of hillary clinton and john edwards who both favored a mandate. it's a nuance discussion on that side too but it's certainly true that health care should not be the focus of the election if you're mitt romney. >> romney shake up his staff? >> i think if you look at how these guys have handled they dispatch to all of their rivals in a systemic way during the republican primaries and i think they can do that again. the reason why they had this flip on july fourth, let's remember, a day when people weren't paying attention is because they wanted to move this out of the kind of the conservative zone where people are complaining and upset about it and want to bury it. and i think refocus on the economy if they can. >> you just used the words flip which leads to flop, unfortunately. roland, i want to get one more thing in here before we run out of time. i want to play a sound bite for you who think is the biggest fighter and biggest asset in mitt romney's campaign. i'm bias but here it is. >> it makes you recognize that they are

announced it until days before the convention, outside of the 2004 race when john kerry named john edwards as his vice presidential nominee but that was 20 days out so we are more than a month out, from the convention, and considering thee cons are it will not be exciting. considering the dnc convention is falling apart, day-by-day, romney announcing early might be a good thing considering the go cuss would be on him for the convention and not a new vice presidential nominee and some of the cons are it gives the media and other people another full month to vet whoever romney chooses and see their defaults. >>neil: it problems a chance to keep anyone who would be on the shortened list of v.p. wannabes on the reservation, right if they know they have not been chosen they are less inclined to support so supportive, right? just being cynical. >>guest: also, you know, what is important is the news cycle. if you come out now in july when congress is still in session, the news will change rapidly in a couple of weeks and congress has major votes coming in, if he decides to announce the vice presi

we can all agree, for instance, john edwards' behavior was reprehensible and unpresidential and excluded elected president. it wasn't illegal have have a baby out wedlock but not appropriate and not appropriate in similar ways but obviously in a very different circumstance about what kind of leadership mitt romney is showing here. for someone that wants to run treasury, pint commissioner to the irs, it is legal but is it actual leadership? when you put your money overseas, when you invest in foreign corporations as opposed to investing it in america, what kind of signal are you sending? what kind of leadership are you giving and there are more questions. it happened in the uk recently and conservative prime minister called out and entertainers and showbiz folks who put their money overseas and said it was morally repugnant. there was a moral question here. >> not only putting overseas that is going to be something they are going to have to answer to in the rom new campaign but -- the obama campaign is continuing to pressure them about bain and here is the latest obama care pain add tha t
