i mean, haley barbour was a radically anti-abortion politician. he always has been. but even he did not take it so far as to take a well-qualified doctor who doesn't do abortions and kick him out of public service in mississippi. what happened in republican politics between last year and this year to put anti-abortion ideological fervency among that? there has been a drastic right-ward lurch just in this last election cycle. which as with we have been reports on it if last year, has yet to be explained to me by anybody. and the partisan divide on this is that democrats are starting to ask, why is this happening on the republican side? why is it that the republicans have lurched so suddenly and so far on women's issues? democrats are starting to ask that. and on the republican side, in republican politics, i think the reason why we haven't had an answer, we haven't had an explanation is because republicans are still in the mode of denying that it is happening. here's how that looked in presidential politics today. notice anything interesting about this picture? mitt r

. >> with us is haley barbour. welcome. >> thank you, charlie. >> how do you think this cuts politically and should governor romney as rick santorum hasizinged go harder on it? >> first of all, no question. you're on the right question. politically. this is about politics. and the gay lobby, homosexual groups and democratic party are very powerful. >> not about politics about the people who want to get married? it's very much about politics for barack obama. even "the new york times" today called it politically charged and so that's what this is about. how is it going to cut? very interesting to how the gay groups look at president obama saying, well, i'm for homosexual marriage but we ought to let the states decide, we will let it be a state's right to issue. i think that would be very unpopular among those groups. >> is it a difficult thing for the governor because, on the one hand, he wants to stress the economy. and, on on the other hand, is getting a lot of pressure from rick san tore 'em aum saying tha winnin

first off, haley barbour. >> first i don't worry about things i have no control over. i think what these guys in their campaigns are focused on, yeah, are some variables they'll have to deal with, but they're not worried about things they literally have no control over. obama wants to make this election not a referendum on his record, not a referendum on his policies or the results of his policies. you'll see their advertising, as you all talked about a little earlier in the show. they're advertising is going to attack romney's character. he's a bad person. he doesn't care about people like you and me. he's selfish, he's greedy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. romney, on the other hand, will be very negative, but it will be obama's policies that made it harder to create jobs, obama's policies that made the economy worse, obama's policies that made gasoline prices double, obama's policies are going to make health insurance and health costs go up. >> i agree with you except he's never said his character, he just said what romney did for a living was basically predatory. hi

. >> i thought it was fascinating what former mississippi governor haley barbour said, he laid out three paths to choosing a vp, the hippocratic path, the do no harm candidate, one is a vp candidate that gives you a big state you might not otherwise win. the third is to choose a game changer. if you're advising romney, what would you do, steve? >> i would do no harm. i think the most important thing is to find someone you think is qualified to be president and find someone you're comfortable with. i think this is going to be a very close election and there's no reason to throw a long ball. again, we saw four years ago throwing a long ball is not a good option. >> yeah, because in the end, mark, is it true do you think that vice presidential nominees have a tendency to at best-case scenario not hurt the ticket, do no harm, but worst-case scenario is that they really hurt you, they seldom ever really win an election for you, if ever. >> that's a fair observation. it is a window into the presumptive nominee, in this case governor romney, in the process, their first candidate and in many way

haley barbour, the former mississippi governor, that is now involved in the republican campaigns, says this is part of an effort to make romney seem weird. romney is not like us. as governor barbour said, as only he can, romney is a capitalist. romney is a hair cutter in the bullying story. romney is a horse rider. and the frustration among republicans, republicans say it doesn't surprise them to have the press being tough on romney. and in fact the press should be tough on all of these presidential candidates. but republicans say they are frustrated, they feel like once again president obama continues to get a pass. they feel like some of the revelations in the david marness book coming out next month, just shows that the press has never really vetted this president. >> no. you know, willie, you can go back 40 years, the john mccain profile where they just completely destroyed a woman's life based on hearsay. they had no good reporting for it. you look at the cindy mccain profile. and all i will say is, compare the mccain profile and the cindy mccain profile with any profiles. the tou
