they are data driven and vulcans that don't have a great personal touch.u reported on mitt romney and do you think that's correct? >> i think it's totally true. these are highly rational harvard-driven guys who are extremely analytical and one thing we have seen with ork bama is being analytical was a huge strength and can make the job difficult and kind of maddening. we have seen again and again obama stand up and say what's happening here just doesn't make sense given what's happening in the country. hundreds of times, thousands of times we have seen that for him and it makes doing parts of his job difficult for him. he had a difficult relationship with think and if romney was elected, his relationship even with the republican-led congress can be extremely difficult. congress operates according to a logic all its own. >> you had an interesting vignette in your piece about how romney brought together the best and the brightest group in harvard. i don't know if you have done it, but is he considered to have a good personal touch. he was dealing with the le

contention that he's wooden, we're not quite sure if his blood is red or blue, blue being the color of vulcanut to tell this story of their marriage, the the story of her battle with m.s. has been incredibly convincing. that's not to sound crass. i think it's really showed a different dimension of mitt romney as husband. >> and she is a terrific surrogate. she's articulate. she's composed. she does well on the stump. it's interesting, as much as we talking about ads one of the lessons from this election is a lot of positive advertising hasn't moved the needle at all. this has been a see it with your own eyes election and debates and people interacting and seeing the candidateses on a firsthand basis has changed the narrator and moved the polling numbers. it's a function of people are mistrustful of institutions and mistrustful of what they see on tv and in politics in general. it's interesting. i don't know if these ads are going to work or not. the ones that have worked so far in the last little bit has been a lot of negative contrast spots that do what lawrence talks about in very clear way
