might be asking for your money in different ways i've got an e-mail from the obama administration pointing out the g.o.p.'s war on women's health targeting planned parenthood and the like but how do they know that i care about topics like that television program where my opinions on a daily basis aside the email address that would give it away so let's talk about this fairly new and increasingly integrated world of voter targeting about democrats and republicans are trying to use to their advantage before the two thousand and twelve election just how much they know about you know it here's this guy with me a straight brewer chief strategy officer at mission strategy thanks so much for joining us tonight. so basically can you give me a breakdown how is it exactly that they gather all this information on you clued ng i guess maybe what is it your voting history nation history what your interests might be absolutely i mean the thing that makes companies like google and facebook worth literally hundreds of billions of dollars is the fact that they have all of this data on you about your usage of the internet w

obama? >> absolutely. what it signal s that mitt romney, even though he gets attacked every day for being too moderate goes in as one of the most conservative nominees the republican party have put forward and on issues you would have never seen come forward like contraception. i think the signal here is that the party is move. they should be talking about on the campaign trail. >> is there any rectifying that would be done by the republicans or have they been damaged so bad through this already that they can't turn back? >> i think they have done a lot of long lasting damage. they will have hundreds of millions of dollars to try to fix their record and whitewash it. >> how much should president obama play this up? >> i don't think he needs to play it up in a political sense. he just needs to do what he's been doing. this contraception coverage mandate is a wonderful thing for women. it's a wonderful health reform. he did it for the right reasons. i think that he's playing it exactly right as in he's doing the right thing
