Good evening I'm Chris Wallace involved -- fair.

Much of the presidential campaign at this stage is being played out and high dollar fashion on television and computer screens.

But one -- you apparently will not say he was the focus of considerable attention today.

-- political correspondent Carl Cameron -- our top story.

On the campaign trail in Florida Mitt Romney swore off the politics of personal destruction.

In response to a New York Times report that a GOP super pac and conservative billionaire Joseph -- were considering attack ads on the president.

During the Democratic National Convention in September.

Referencing mr.

Obama's fiery former pastor Jeremiah Wright.

-- repudiate.

That that effort I think it's the wrong course for a pack -- a campaign.

I hope that our campaigns can respectively be about the future and about issues.

And about a vision for America.

Wright's rhetoric about race and the nation from the pulpit over the years was deemed so controversial in the 08 campaign that mr.

Obama distanced himself from the pastor who married him and wife Michelle.

And hear more about this -- not met them.

Yeah.

The Obama campaign manager wasted no time fanning the flames this morning quickly blaming the right collectively for the quote appalling -- to which Republican operatives in super pacs apparently are willing to go to -- -- the president and elect Mitt Romney.

The blueprint for a hate filled divisive campaign of character assassination speaks for itself.

Democrats noted a February radio interview with Sean Hannity and which -- complained.

But the president often seeks counsel not from ardent believers but either more secular advisors or write himself.

I'm not -- which is worse you're looking to reverend Wright's supportive and sang that.

That we have.

-- we must be a -- less a Christian nation.

It turns out no super pac attack ads about right are forthcoming a spokesman for the ending spending action -- -- -- -- billionaire donor.

David no serious consideration quote it was never -- plan to be accepted but only a suggestion for a direction to take.

His efforts are and will continue to be focused entirely on questions of fiscal policy.

Not attacks that seek to divide us socially or culturally.

Romney's campaign manager noted today that quote.

President Obama's team said they would kill Romney and just last week David Axelrod referred to individuals opposing the president has contract killers.

-- himself noted that the president's first reelection ads included personal attacks that while Romney's upcoming debut commercial will be positive.

But the centerpiece of this campaign is quite clearly character assassination and the centerpiece of my.

Campaign is going to be my vision to get America working again.

And provide a brighter future for our kids -- -- after an angry rant about his middle class parents ability to dream as big as any -- guy vice president Joseph Biden again said he resents the notion that the middle -- is content with merely the opportunity to own a home.

Send kids to college and care for seniors.

It's not the end of our aspirations.

That's -- we need to win.

-- first called super -- consideration of an attack linking the president to his former pastor Jeremiah Wright.

A sign that the GOP doesn't understand the nation and in his words they act like it's 1942 or something.

When Biden found out the ads won't run he said there are certain things so morally clear that they don't warrant common.

Of course by that time he already had an effect and that's right more on this with a panel Carl thank you.
