woody allen once said showing up is 80% of life. he showed up in a hostile, non-friendly environment. i do agree the way he handled the opposition in the speech is important. because romney has a reputation as a guy who doesn't have a core, doesn't have a spine and changes position depending on the audience or the time of day. and so he goes out there and he speaks about obamacare and sustains boos. then he gives evidence which he has that obamacare will hurt jobs. so i think he showed that he will stick to his guns and be respectful. the importance here is to show that distinction between republicans and democrats. democrats are a coalition of special interest constituencies. obama, he goes after hispanics, blacks, women, gays, students, unions. dangle in front of each of them something, legislation or financial reward or something in the tax code. romney is saying i'm going act non-ethically and not specifically, act as the president of all americans. we all have interest if strong economy and jobs and this will help you like it d

woody allen's line, 90% of life is showing up. he showed up and was there but he did not win by manifesting any great theory, any great momentum in the party. that is now beginning to come and hurt him. >> it's come to go hurt him and the fact that that he discuss does not have an affirmative policy to rise above. he does not have an affirmative message saying vote for me and i will do this for the economy. i will do this for the middle class. all he's basically run on so far is the fact, hey guys, i'm not obama. i look like a president. i think i can do the job because of my business experience. short of the business experience what else is there? he doesn't have a master stroke of a foreign policy. he also doesn't have a domestic policy that anyone can recite with ease in a single sentence. so that's part of the problem is that there seems to be no there when you get right down and drilling down to what mitt romney is about. they're having an effect because there is nothing else to point to if you're him. >> eliot: the etch-a-sk
