let's turn to ari melber. do you think rick has a point or is he missing the more insightful analyses we might make of the foreign policy adventure? >> i would look at it in three ways. number one, when you are president, you have to deal with the foreign press. so whether they are fair or not, that is one of the layers of international diplomacy because you're dealing with foreign governments and their peoples, their populations and what they get from the media, whether it's state run, fair or unfair. rick may be right that some of the stuff would upset any policy maker, any candidate, but that's part of of the job. number two, were some of the gaffes given too much attention as opposed to the very serious foreign policy challenges we face? yes. so i'll concede that to rick, and i think people who work for politicians and diplomats often have that frustration. but that in and of itself doesn't tell us anything about what mitt romney is doing abroad. that brings me to number three and the real point and we can

ari, we'll start with you. i was surprised that ed was surprised considering the interview from last night which was a very similar question about balancing the budget. why did they not know the answer? why was ed not able to answer that question? >> well, it's funny. i feel for ed. these things happen. every spokesman will have a memory lapse from time to time. governor romney all you have to do is roll tapes. he said repeatedly he anticipates it will be balanced in eht to ten years. sometimes staffers forget the basic facts. it happens. >> robert, mitt romney said a lot of budget details will have to be worked out in congress. you worked for president clinton. you know you can propose something and then of course what you actually end up is very different than what was proposed. isn't that a reasonable answer. if they can't commit to specific details, some of that is because some of this is going to be worked out by congress. >> it is reasonable under normal circumstances but when you are running for presiden

what you don't want is to have it leak out before you're ready to have it happen. >> ari, you've been tweeting you're prepared to say who you think the candidate is. do you think romney has already made this decision? i ask you because in 2000 you got a very up-close look at this process with then candidate george w. bush. >> i agree with everything candy said in her analysis, it was right on, except for that last point. if i were in charge of the romney selection process, i would not tell the person who it was going to be till within 24 hours of the selection. otherwise, it's sure to leak. you've got to really close that window and close it tight. i don't think mitt romney has made the final decision in his mind who it will be yet. once he does, it sets loose a whole lot of important events. and with the person who's going to get named. all of it predicated on absolute secrecy so when the governor tweets it or announces it on his app that will be the first time people hear it. >> do you want to say who you think it should be? >>'ve said this in some events i've been to. i've always b
