since the brown -- senator brown and i both submitted our economic proposals to the boston globe. covered that my approach, which is balanced, is 67% more effective than its senator brown's approach for cutting the deficit. we cannot get therapy way the senator -- we cannot get theire the way the senator has proposed. we cannot do that here in massachusetts or here in america. >> 10 seconds each. go ahead. >> i have never voted for a tax increase. i am trying to protect your tax money and your wallet. >> i am 67% more effective for cutting the deficit. we have to get serious and that means a balanced approach. >> we will take a break. when we continue, we will talk about one of the most important votes in the u.s. senator have to take with the massachusetts senate debate continues. from the wbc -- wbz studios in massachusetts. whoever wins this election will be voting on the confirmation of multiple nominees to the court. when you ever voted for a supreme court nominee who opposed the abortion rights of roe v. wade? >> i would not. and i do not regarded as a litmus test. roby lake

matt viser of "the boston globe." i just want to specify here that mitt romney has gone from sneering at the 47% to sneering at the word "redistribution." this fake outrage over redistribution is completely silly, really. every tax that's ever been levied is a form of redistribution. the sales tax that you paid on the clothes that you're wearing right now was redistributed to your state to pay for your state's public education system or the roads or some other necessity. where do people think their tax dollars go? of course they're redistributed to serve everybody. and the romney/ryan plan, their policies and their budget it's's fine example of redistribution. honestly. but not in the way you might think. call it what you will, reverse robin hood or call it trickle up but the bottom line is the same. their policies take from the poor and the middle and they give to the rich. according to the tax policy center romney's budget would have the middle class pay on average $2,000 per family in order to finance the tax cuts t

so you know i covered the 2000 campaign for the "boston globe" and was out talking with candidates about the sort of message death death going back back-and-forth back and forth and after 2009 i really burrowed down in this burgeoning world of people doing empirical research and campaigns in academia and institutions in washington and elsewhere and was sort of condenser that is where the untold story of a lot of what is really going on in elections these days are taking place. >> host: interesting. what you want the reader of this book too must understand? when they read the book what is that message you want them to come away with? >> guest: i want them to understand that what we see on tv and in the newspaper every day of the campaign is very little of everything that is going on. you know, campaigns are far more than what is said in their ads are some of their ads and where the candidate goes and where it's running mate or spouse goes and i think with their spokesperson says on tv i think too much of her campaign coverage basically assumes that this is sort of the entirety of the camp

and he told the "boston globe" in 1994. i was raised in a lovely neighborhood and at byu we moved into a $62 a month basement apartment with a cement floor and lived there two years as students with no income. neither one of us had a job because mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time. the stock came from mitt's father. mitt cashed it so we could live and pay for education. talking about paying no income tax, there was mitt romney back then paying no income tax. and apparently, if you're mitt romney earning the old fashioned way also means your old man buys you a house. according to ann romney, when mitt was accepted at harvard law, we came east, this is when we took the gnaw-famous loan that mitt talks about from his father and bought a $42,000 home in belmont. we stayed there seven years and sold it for $90,000. so we not only stayed for free, we made money. we had no income except the stock we were chipping away at. new mexico republican governor martinez who had a prime time

poll shows brown with a four-point lead over warren, and joins us now is noah p biermann of the boston globeeen several in the past weeks showing warren had a consecutive lead over him in the past four polls we've seen. what's happening in this race? >> there were four polls taken after the convention showing her with a lead between 2 to 6 percentage points among likely voters. one poll was taken roughly the same period this fifth poll was taken. that poll showed her with a lead. this new poll shows scott brown with a lead of four points. within the margin of error in almost every case, so it shows this race is continually volatile. >> it speaks to everything we discussed from the very beginning, even prior to this romney remark. i have to bring up another statement from senator brown. he told politico regarding mitt romney, we're two different people, obviously, and people recognize that. they know me and have known him. they made their position known on who they support and don't support. i know she'd like to run against mitt romney, but she's running against me. is that a statement that a

the "boston globe" editorial today says this about romney's performance yesterday, "romney's timing was terrible, romney was wrong on the facts, romney was wrong on substance. romney was wrong as a matter of policy." "the lath times" editorial today says, "in mixing sympathy with specious attacks and self-promotion, romney has diminished himself." even bill o'reilly had a problem with mitt romney's criticism of the obama administration. >> the statement that came from the administration was a statement which is akin to apology. and i think it was a severe miscalculation. >> now, i'm not sure the governor's correct on that. the embassy was trying to head off the violence. being conciliatory in that kind of a situation seems logical. >> romney apparently agrees with his bad reviews and has decided to back down from a fight with the president. >> no direct response. when the president says you shoot first and aim later. >> well, this is politics. i'm not going to worry about the campaign. >> president obama spoke today in colorado. >> we are going to bring those who killed our fellow ameri
