You can't change Washington from the inside you can only change -- from the outside.
That's how I got elected.
And that's how the big accomplishments like health care got done was because we mobilized.
The American people to speak out.
Fact is healthcare was mostly an inside the beltway job remember Nancy Pelosi saying we have to pass the bill so we can find out what's inside it.
Mitt Romney is going to go after the president on this idea can't change Washington for the -- Nevada today as he did yesterday in Sarasota.

From the inside and that amazing.
No wonder is that such a hard time over -- last four years his first two years in a Democrat house Democrats senate he got to do whatever the heck do you wanna do but he says he can't change it from the inside.
Well I will I get the job done.
Underscoring governor Romney's visit to Nevada today new unemployment numbers for the state are coming out Martha the current rate 12% that is the worst in the nation we'll see how it is that -- -- -- -- so that new -- out also John.
And they do show President Abbas with a pretty good showing us in battleground states what do we know about that.
There were talking specifically about that Wall Street Journal NBC news Marist poll that came out that showed president about a with a substantial lead.
In Wisconsin Iowa and Colorado we had pollsters take a look at that -- found that Democrats were over sampled in the states by as much as 7%.
Which they think Martha may have overly skewed the numbers in those states in president Obama's favor we'll see what other polls say in the coming days and weeks away a lot of discussion about the composition of these polls and whether or not they're giving us a good read this time.
Keeps things very interesting -- -- Thank you --
