knowledge is to the sound bite what kryptonite is to superman. we can use that to our advantage. if we are just as clever, just as creative and just as vigilant. and just as unified. do you hear any democrats turning on each other? the way that we are? did i address all three points? i did? i might forget all of them. >> your last statement, i want to ask specifically, how would you specifically unify the tea party movement with the party? >> what i think we have to do is be proud of the principles on which our party was founded. right now there's i don't want to say an embarrassment but whether it is joe biden calling them terrorists or other people saying that the tea party is causing this paralysis in congress, i think where that is coming from is the middle-class movement that propelled the tea party has put the establishment on notice. politics will not be this same. the tea party, at least in my campaign, i should say this to a republican audience but we have a lot of democrats. we had a lot of independents and they are unified around this discontent with the career politic

it appears that debates are his kryptonite. he's been up to the plate three times, swung three times and missed three times. there are three times really in a presidential campaign when you have the opportunity to move the needle. when you announce, when you do your nominations speech, and debates, they are really critical. you have to play an a game when you're on that stage, and it's really clear. we gave him a pass on the first debate, but you would expect improvement by the second, certainly the third. he looked unprepared. you only get so many shots on this, and mitt romney shows with what comes with having been through this before. he seemed have been smooth, consistent and prepared. >> bob, mark said something i agree with. first time we want, well, he's not been on the national stage before. second time he's just adjusting. but now he's just starting to look like he's not ready for primetime, at least not in the debates. >> i agree, with one caveat. he was unprepared. he sat out to give romney a tongue lashing, numbed h

the truth is somehow kryptonite for her. here she is, a successful night, going on the offensive, pushing him in a corner. i think what she wanted was for us to come back the next day, break down his record, break down merck, the chief of staff, break down these things, but guess what? we're now challenging her credibility as opposed to his credibility. this is what she always does. remember the whole deal about $200 million and president obama going overseas? she said i read it somewhere, on your show. this is the problem. you have to stay on point. you can't make the rookie mistakes because now she's the subject of our investigation and the point that erick made was that you have no leg to stand on, so perry gets to sit back and say, guess what? i'm all good, you had a shot, now you messed yourself up. >> she just stepped on her own story. that's a real problem because she had a story. >> erick, perry was pretty dismissive -- sorry. go ahead, erick. >> it falls very flat with the argument she was making. the other problem

trying to make is that for a candidate trying to say social security is a ponzi scheme, that will be kryptonitection, and rick perry is trying to say, look, i am the truth teller and willing to throw bombs and tell hard truths and it's two different approaches to the nomination. rick perry is appealing to the tea party support that is angry and wants honest tea. romney is trying to say we need to win a general election, and the question is whether the republican party is feeling all that pragmatic right now. >> let me ask you about jobs and switching gear to the president and what he will say tonight. he will outline his plan. are the republicans going to be behind all of it, some of it? how is he going to muscle this through the house? >> recent history would suggest no, you will see a lot of bipartisan rhetoric, and boehner said the american people should not be forced to listen to a politician they don't want to when they want to be playing football, and that's disrespectful at the least. there has been bipartisan legislation. the president will have an obligation to come forward and find th
