On the Obama campaign’s efforts to discredit Mitt Romney as a job creator while governor of Massachusetts:

They’re at the bottom of the barrel, having tried [the] attack on Bain, they are going after him as governor. I think he [Romney] should cite one number. “When I left office, the unemployment rate in the state was 4.7 percent. Obama has been in office for a term — it’s 8.2 percent. Who do you trust?” I don’t think this is a hard thing to answer.
I understand why they [the Democrats] are panicking…. They had a false dawn, a false hope, in the early days of the winter when they got relatively good [economic] numbers, when the Republicans were killing each other in the debates, and Romney’s negatives were going up as a result of all the negative ads. That is when the race went from one [that] a year ago that you would have said was in the bag for Republicans to one where Obama had an advantage.
That advantage [has] completely dissipated. And I would say the race now is almost even but with Romney, I think, with a marginal advantage that might actually build.
And the reason is Obama has not a single idea on how to change trajectory of the economy. So all he can do is to try to change his narratives. And how many has he got? From what Axelrod said, I’d say he hasn’t got many.

On today’s gubernatorial recall election in Wisconsin:

I think it will affect the history of unionization in the country. It will be a blow — it will be Armageddon — for the government worker unions if they lose. They will have had three shots at this [undoing Walker’s union reform] and lost every one.
