I don't think these numbers are very good. I don't think the numbers last month were very good either.

The number -- this recession has been very, very difficult on a lot of families, particularly middle class families in this country.

This president has created more jobs in three years than President Bush created in eight.

I think the president needs to talk more about the middle class, talk about how he's not satisfied with the pace and why he has a jobs bill that's sitting there and languishing and doing nothing at the Congress.

The political fallout that that could cause for President Obama as he heads into full campaign mode for the fall.

I just am not sure, technology moves pretty quickly. I can say production is up under this president and consumption is down.

By the same token, he who lives by high energy prices dies by high energy prices.

Production is up under this president and consumption is down.

He who lives by high energy prices dies by high energy prices.

I think it could be a little bit of the latter. I mean, the idea they're doing this now, I mean every energy expert agrees on it. The president doesn't have anything to do with gas prices. But every political person knows that when these…

But yes, I do. What makes -- what makes me sort of confident here is -- I'm being really honest here. Romney has just not been a very good candidate.

The problem is what you've been put through and how you've damaged the brand to get there because you can't put away two of the sorriest presidential campaigns in the history of American politics.

He's got a real problem with basic constituencies in the Republican Party.

The Obama people, they're not going wait very long. They're going to start on Governor Romney in the -- in the immediate future here.

This field is horrible and Romney is not connecting out there.

Let me be uncharacteristically blunt. I agree with Mrs. Barbara Bush, the grand dame of the Republican Party, who said this is the worst campaign she'd seen in her lifetime.

You know, Erick Erickson, our colleague at CNN, pointed he can't carry the south, he can't carry evangelicals, he can't carry blue-collar voters. I mean, he's got a real problem with basic constituencies in the Republican Party.

Romney has just not been a very good candidate. If they can keep him from talking, he will be fine.

I think this thing has been not very good for Romney at all. I mean, any -- his numbers have really, really taken a hit.

Well, he's already -- he's not doing very well with independents at all, but Mary and Erick are right, you won't get the republican nomination without, you know, stimulating the conservative vote.

I think this thing has not very good for Romney at all. I mean, any guy -- his numbers have really, really taken a hit.

But he's moved way to the right on this tax plan. He's now -- you know, in addition to being for the Bush tax cuts, he's for another 20 percent across the board tax cuts.

This is not a race anymore, Anderson, in my opinion, between Romney and Santorum and Gingrich. This is Romney versus 1,144. That's the only thing that matters.

And 98 percent of Catholics take birth control.

Well, that is why the president is up six points in the last poll, because the Catholics are bleeding.
