finally, a man named mike connell, who was the computer guru of rove's, he was about to be a witness,nd he went down in a plane crash at a time that happened to be very crucial in the investigation. >> and so his point your calling him a murderer? >> that is where he got that from >> but the significance of karl rove here. while everyone is covering the pomp on the floor of the convention, our videographer was filming -- he figured out which was the skybox of sheldon adelson, who is the multi billionaire casino magnate in las vegas who has promised to give something like $100 million to the republican party and now spending and has switched from newt gingrich now to mitt romney -- you were able to focus on sheldon adelson and karl rove last night as mitt romney was addressing the convention. colleaguesven rove's at "the wall street journal" are saying, isn't this a complete perversion of the electoral process? john mccain in 2008 by contrast spent three and $75 million, rove has about $1 billion, the koch brothers alone said they may put up as much as $400 million. when you add in rom

rove. they are not mike murphy.not, you know, they are not mark mckinnon, they have no -- >> they are disconnected. >> they have no idea how to run a national campaign well. >> they made him call a hastily called news conference at 10:00 at night to double down on something that is so politically painful that we can't even -- it hurts to talk about. >> in 1996 when the republican party looked at bob dole and said lost cause. the party abandoned dole and said, you're done, we don't believe in you anymore. when does that happen to romney? last night a senior gop strategist said i think i've just seen the every man, the every man for himself moment is here. maybe that's premature, but the republican party is looking at mitt romney right now and saying how much are we going to lean into this guy over the last two months if he's not capable of winning? >> and karl rove decides he's going to start investing in senate races, a the that point you can pull the plug. >> and that's probably after the first debate. >> if after

compare this -- they said it would be as if in the bush campaign, one person did karl rove's job as the strategist, mikeerson's job in speech writing and mark mckinnon's job making the ads. or if in the obama campaign of 2008, if it were just david axelrod, if he didn't have admakers jim margolis and the speechwriter jon favreau and others helping him. >> so andrea mitchell, a different approach that we're hearing about that we're going to be seeing in the coming week, but same people on the campaign? and if so, given other campaigns you have covered, do they ever make big replacements at this stage of the game? and are you surprised you're not seeing any here, especially on the foreign policy side? >> they make big replacements. we certainly saw that in the reagan campaign in 1980 when there was a wholesale housecleaning after the new hampshire primary, but that was after the new hampshire primary, way, way earlier. >> right. >> not at this stage. and i think it's way too late -- the bottom line, mike allen and all the rest of you is, mitt romney is in charge of all of this. he is mr. fix-it. so we can

bush, karl rove, and kirsten powers and fox news senior political analyst, brit hume. we can't hear you unless you hold up your mike. brit, we start with you. we will see the young san an antonio mayor and he will, according to the democrats, be electric. >> he is making his debut as a national figure tonight. keynote addresses have been steppingstones for politicians in the past. witness barack obama in 2004. this 37-year-old man has been the youngest mayor of any major american city. he is a figure not well known to me. i am interested to hear what he has to say and see if he lives up to the billing. >> they are not downplaying the expectations, but they are raising him. poor mayor castro. what does michelle obama need to do? we talked about how ann romney need to bring us mitt romney, the man. >> i happening she has to do the same thing. martha was talking about with women, michelle has very high approval ratings overall and she's very appealing to the type of women that president obama needs to have turning out for him, which are women who are identify with her role as a working mother before she was in the whi

. >> mike, the thing that we've been seeing for a very long time is this president unable to get to 50%. karl roverote about it a couple days ago. if you're an incumbent, you're under 50%, sitting at 46%, 47%, that's just bad news. we are seeing some of the state polls popping up to 50%, he's still being dragged down by low approval in the south and other areas. wisconsin, 50, colorado, 50, iowa, 50. i mean, a horrible set of polls out this week for mitt romney. could change. but state by state by state, things aren't looking good. >> well, he's also at the edge of 50 in places like ohio. i think he's probably over 50 in michigan. i can't recall a candidate having a worse week, a seven-day period, a worst seven-day period than mitt romney. >> i think it's two weeks. >> i will say, picking up on what we talked a couple days ago, i think you can turn lemons into lemonade. i think the 47% blunder can turn into a win. draw the harsh line. >> exactly. >> and say, you know what? these were the words -- maybe i didn't say it eloquently, the sentiment is right. this is an entitled country. it's a weak cou
