the film's writer and producer and fox news contributor pat caddell are here. pat culted on the making of this film. i don't say this lightly but i mean every word of this. this is the most powerful documentary i have ever seen in my life. there is no way that anybody watches this film could vote for barack obama. it's impossible. you bring us back and walk us through the whole election cycle. it's almost like -- it's almost like, i feel like i have amnesia and i follow this every day. tell us how you got started. >> dave and i talked about having a film for this cycle. we didn't want to just talk to conservatives or tea party people. we wanted to really think through and look at it through david axelrod's eyes in the summer and fall of 2012 and look at the battleground states, 7 states, 5 to 6 million voters, all democrats, all independents, that voted for president obama. that's when we reached out to pat caddell. we needed people to help us find the pool of people who were so strongly supporting president obama and go through the journey of their live and it

pat caddell will johnny -- join me tonight. he eats the food but he is the best. i did not eat dinner last night. >>neil: we will get you a cookie. we have more on how the party is reaching out to young people, who overwhelmingly supported the president last type. paul ryan could help that change, it is not just a matter of choice in music. we will explain. >> from the conference floor, you were once a michigan state chairman and, we were walking around the floor and the polls you have been hearing on michigan it could be in play is unthinkable as that sounds, because the republican ticket is one that opposed the auto bailout and last time i checked michigan benefits from the bailout, but it is not hurting the ticket. >>guest: it isn't. part of that is the romneys were born there. and a lot of the retirees had bonds and they had a political bailout so they moved out the back. the bondholders who were clipping bonds in some it company, especially those who worked there, have lost 90 percent of their money. it hasn't been a clear-cut victory for obama. >>neil: many

joining me with reaction, pat caddell and monica crowley. it is sleazy. it is slimy.ean, this is -- you know, to take police resource, vice-president comes to town, it's a big deal. imagine i i, monica, rush, lavine, anybody said this about the president or vice-president, what biden said today... >> over the objections, they sound like squealing pigs. over the objections of romney and all his allies, we pass the some of the toughest wall street regulations in history, turning wall street back into the allocator of capital it always has been and no longer a casinnio. they -- casino. they want to repeal it. >> sean: squealing pigs. what if i said that about the president or vice-president? >> you would be hammered. never mentioning fannie and freddie, greatest scandal of all time. what's really bad, the president is running the real risk, every time you lower the standard, breaking tradition -- this is chicago politics. we don't care, we are going to disrupt your convention. for all the times we have had conventions, we have honored the idea in politics, you have yours

doug schoen is a form adviser to president clinton and pat caddell is a former pollster for presidentarter. you predicted the president could not relationship by running a constructive campaign. he would have to go there regular tough. the president says we have done nothing out of bounds. >> i think pat in my judgment has been vindicated. they have been running tough campaign commercials themselves. the super pac ad they could have disavowed. they didn't do that today. th effectively have accused governor romney of giving a guy cans -- a guy cancer. stephanie cutter called the governor a felon or said he committed a felony. that's way beyond anything i remember from my experience with bill clinton. we wouldn't have done anything like that. >> no sitting incumbent has ever this early in the campaign and to the intensity the obama white house and the president himself is doing in this campaign team to attack a challenger at this level. ever. it diminishes the white house. but the president going out today elevated the stakes because he is in real trouble of potentially being on a knife

we have pat caddell, so many...my gosh, i don't know what you are planning this fall, by cancel it. keep it here. did you here gas is up 19 straight days. 19 straight days. we are taking more oil. now, we are tapping our emergency oil supplies here. something slippy this way comes. @ >>neil: gas prices going higher 90 days in a row with the national average closing in on $4. my guest says the white house is not listening because rather than drilling the white house reportedly talking tapping as in the emergency oil stockpile. the former president of shell oil is here. there is no confirmation of that but the suspicion is if prices go higher they will tap the reserve. you think that is a mistake. >>guest: if they tap the reserve they get three, four, five days of relief and we go right back to where we were. people are looking if solutions. tapping the strategic oil reserve is not a solution that is a relationship between supply and demand. the reason crude prices and gas prices are rising we are living on the edge of supply in relationship to demand. the way to fix it is increase su

in ohio where the candidates are dead even, and the governor of that fine state will join us and pat caddell makes of this, and how republicans use the next abbreviated days of the convention to pound that message. what do you think? >>pat: it is their opportunity. this is, if the ohio poll is right we talked about this last week, this is the state that romney had the heartest problem in the midwest if he can crack ohio and get voters who worry he is only for the rich and does not care about them, he can crack the entire midwest. >>neil: how does it change the electoral math when things like michigan could be in play? wisconsin could be in play? that is unthinkable. to your point about the midwest, suddenly, i am not saying it deemphasizes florida but you could risk loading florida? >>pat: it is hard to romney to get to 270 without florida. it forces obama and the democrats to defend territory that three months ago noun believes they had to defend. the democrats are vanished because they do not have to campaign in california and knock, two of the most expensive and largest states, the money.

>>neil: pat caddell says ryan is on to something. explain. >>pat: of all the things the president has said and everyone makes misstatements and romney saying i like to fire people, things you wish you did not say, this hits a nerve and we see it in spontaneous outburst because the message is, if you didn't build it, in other words, it does not belong to you. somewhere in the subconscious people have this reaction, it just struck a viral nerve with small business people, with others, we saw the rasmussen numbers, the one poll that got it to this and people believe, the entrepreneurs, they work harder, sacrifice more, build their businesses and they did not buy the idea it was someone else. >>neil: it doesn't matter no matter how much the president tries to explain the remarks. >>guest: the damage was done the he said it in the way he said it. this was someone that will speak about it but the notion that -- no one is arguing what the president wanted to say or meant to say, well, we all help out. no, this is the idea, the idea of these people, c

doug schoen is a former adviser to president clinton, pat caddell was an adviser to jimmy carter. t, what did you think of the speech? >> i thought the speech was good. it wasn't great, about it was good. i can see the themes developing. they are trying to shift the party away from the party of being no, talk about the future. three or four different times last night he talked about what i believe is the moral test of our tribal religion of america which is you give your children better than you have. he didn't attack the president personally. he challenged him. that he hasn't been a leader which is important to the swing voters an also hit on the points of saying, you know, things aren't going to get better. what he cited was powerful. alisyn: doug, there were a few times when mitt romney seemed to get a little choked up when he talked about his family's history. do you think it makes democrats a little nervous to see mitt romney who they have depict as robotic seem more emotional? >> yes, i think this was an important step. that's right that the governor began to develop themes h
