op and at a rally, with condoleezza rice. you know, there are a lot of former george w. bush administration officials advising the romney campaign. but even they, you would think, would be sort of cognizant of how people view that administration, right? you think they would recognize that there is a little political peril in trying to underscore to a country that is really paying attention right now that everybody should expect a lot of continuity between the george w. bush years and a romney presidency. if you like the george w. bush years and you miss all those folks, like condoleezza rice, don't worry, if you elect romney, you'll see more of them again. this came up last night in what i thought was a brilliant question from one of the audience members at that debate at hofstra, and it got right at the central problem that the republicans have been dealing, since the support for romney creatored during the george w. bush second term. the greatest show on earth has been the republican party figuring out who it is after bush and cheney. the republican party figuring out if th

, president george w. bush, the time he spent in ohio, florida, pennsylvania, and you can certainly find examples of presidents attending to the electoral concerns, but i said what we see if we look at it systematically, if we looked at it over decades, with the presidents do, what patterns would play out and is there a disproportionate focus on the electoral matters to the estimates and what did you fight? >> the short answer is that we have seen a substantial increase in the time that presidents devote to electoral concerns. and the clear indicator is fund-raising. if a president goes to ohio to years before the election is either because it is one of the largest states because he cares about the good people of ohio or because it is likely to edge in the presidential election? that is a bit harder to say, but what is unambiguously electoral is the presidential fund-raising. and that we have seen escalate over the past three and a half decades. we've also seen a rise in strategic travel and disproportionate focus on battleground states and the key nominating states. not just in the elec

george w. bush banned embryonic stem cells. well, he didn't. he never banned it. that was a, we'll be generous and say misinformation perpetuated by the media. he never banned embryonic stem cells. he did limit federal funding to pre-existing stem line, and about 23 stem cell lines were available as of 2001. obama issued an executive order on march 9 of 2009. what did that do? it lifted the ban, the quote-unquote ban, on federal funding. so today as of the time i put this talk together about a month ago, there are 178 embryonic stem cell lines available for federal funding, but there are 760 lines available globally. so he increased it from about 21 lines to 178 lines. most notably, they must be derived, these embryonic stem cells must be derived from left over invitro fertilization embryos, and permission is required from parents. that has the effect of really limiting the number of embryonic stem cells that you can get, okay? so the idea that he blew the doors open on embryonic stem cell research is a fiction. he did not. george bush nudged the door open to embryonic stem cell

from washington, rnc surrogate and former spokesperson for the george w. bush administration, mercedes slep. thank you for joining us. >> hi richard, thank you. >> what are your thoughts here, these reports of the romney campaign moving resources, moving some of their staff out of north carolina and into ohio. >> well, what we're seeing with governor romney is that his message has resonated with the people of north carolina. we've also seen widening polls in north carolina, where romney's ahead. with that being said, the victory centers remain open, and the ground game is very strong at this point. we're seeing very strong early voting as well in north carolina. and so i really do think that governor romney and his staff is going to beat president in north carolina as well, but as in every campaign, you're allocating resources to different states and it changes week by week. >> but might it be more about ohio, as ohio has become even more important? >> well, ohio's very important, wisconsin. we're seeing in pennsylvania, there was one poll that just came out that showed that romney was

there was that question to mitt romney about george w. bush, how he would be different, a potentially predictionly question. he handled it pretty well with regard to the answer he needed to give, talking about the fact that under the bush years the deficits were racked up, there was too much spending, he wouldn't do that. lastly, kind of broadly, you saw in that piece, and anybody who watched last night, he did hold his own on the stage with the president of the united states. some might argue too much so, some might argue that maybe he went a little too far, was too aggressive but he certainly did. you bet today that is making the base of his party, which is so critical, very happy. >> i'm sure you're right about that. okay. now for you, jessica. what three things did the president do the best? >> reporter: well, first of all, he corrected the biggest mistakes of his first debate. he he came to play. he was feisty. he was alive. he looked up and watched mitt romney the whole time. he looked like he was fighting to keep the job. he came with a narrative. first time didn't look like he came with a

for a politician. how did he do? on the subject of embryonic stem cells, you might remember when george w. bush banned embryonic stem cells but he didn't. he never banned it. that was, we will be generous and say misinformation perpetuated by the media. he never banned stem cells. he did not limit funding to preexisting cell lines in 20 ones dems have lines were available after 2001. obama promised to fix that so he issued an executive order on march 92009. what did that do? it lifted the ban the quote unquote bandh van on federal funding so today as the time i put this talk together a month ago there were 178 stem cell lines available for federal funding but 160 lines available globally so we increased it from 21 lines to 178 lines. most notably, they must be derived. embryonic stem cells must be derived from leftover in vitro fertilization embryos and permission is required from parents. that has the effect of really limiting the number of embryonic stem cells that you can get. so the idea that the doors open on embryonic stem cell research is fiction. he did not. george bush left the door op
