Democrat strategist -- -- is live from New Hampshire now.
Marianne thanks for joining us -- we've got three topics for you don't wanna debate I've just got three topics right attitude festival.
Is Newt Gingrich and governor Perry's attacks -- Mitt Romney.
That's saying that he's a corporate rate a vulture capitalists is what Governor Perry said in South Carolina yesterday just -- -- -- -- If you're a victim of bank capitals downsize.
It's the ultimate insult for Mitt Romney to come to South Carolina and today he feel if your plan.
Because he -- Primary and you know what's going on here at the GOP is doing -- Joseph Alba as a Democrat's strategy that doing your job for you want that.
Yes they are never thought it was going to happen.
The only thing is if you're gonna go down this line of attack against Mitt Romney they should've started -- sooner so I'm surprised that they're even using it but now that they are MAD be too little too late.
I think it's desperation actually no because I -- Mitt Romney has a good response he -- preempted what you guys are going to be site -- like India right.
Yes but he has not had a good response yet that's 100000 jobs he hasn't been able to explain them or the net net and I'll give you an example from Massachusetts -- -- governor.
Bain Capital but KB toys headquartered in Pittsfield Massachusetts.
After they bought them and Romney was governor few years later they started shutting down cable -- thousands of people lost their jobs they took -- 85 million dollars as governor of Massachusetts.
Mitt Romney didn't pick up the phone and call his colleagues at -- and say hey.
These that this company's in my state I'm the governor don't do this he didn't do that and I think those kinds of things are gonna be a.
Problem for him going forward now you're doing my job point I don't pull on second -- and the -- get into this you know Mary and I are than absolutely shocked that -- you know first met -- I'm the first Newt Gingrich and now Perry.
What is this something -- president political advisor that you advise anyone to do particularly when it looks like the people who are -- -- -- month.
Have have no chance of actually winning the nomination at this point.
Well I think what Romney has to do is come up with a better explanation he is clearly running as a business guy he's clearly running.
It -- time at -- he needs to do a better job explaining how he created jobs he just hasn't done -- as well he's he's going to have to do if this is his credentials on the other hand as governor Massachusetts he talks about creating jobs.
But the fact is in this first three years -- created 3400 jobs and the state was six million people we can -- the economy the number was not as bad as this.
On merit and we think -- we can contest the numbers all day long -- just object to Republicans going after all the Republicans on the grounds that they were a good capitalist that I I'm surprised I'm surprised I I got to move on you use the debit.
They're doing your job for you right now it is a topic close to your -- All this -- about Hillary Clinton becoming the new VP vice president candidate next year.
-- -- it's not gonna go away it is not gone away.
Will you categorically as they Clinton -- -- yourself.
Will you say categorically she will not wrong.
I don't think Obama's gonna make a change however.
And it certainly if you did it would make a lot of people happy but if it would be if it became they factor between winning and losing reelection he would do it.
But I think that's going to be the case.
Last one that's a tricky subject to the subject is -- government -- Christie Chris Christie of New Jersey and his weight.
Now we've seen video of him recently.
And as soon as we showed that video we were swamped with comments from our viewers and from our own produces and rises.
That the man's wage is an issue.
In this election especially if he is considered as a vice presidential candidates all wanted to view it as someone involved in politics.
What do you use a possible issue like the government is weight against him in a political campaign.
I would not Jon Corzine did and look court got him Chris Christie beat up.
Here's the problem for Chris Christie the vice presidential auditions every time he's with Mitt Romney he upstages Mitt Romney so rule number one for anyone who wants to be vice president don't -- the president rule number two.
Don't forget rule number one that's Chris Christie's problem.
You have to do you think I mean on the actively do you think that his weight is an issue.
I don't I really don't.
I I can see where people would think it is but at the evidence is when he ran for governor Jon Corzine did an ad using that as a weapon and it backfired.
There you have it.
-- -- let's not forget that you with a Wong who sent me a box of cookies right -- Christmas and I remember message and you're saying I'm meeting them up at the moment I got so it's your fault okay.
Sorry but you're welcome -- -- Marshall was good thanks so much indeed for joining -- as usual but it is.
