Video: GOP candidates battle for New Hampshire



>>> democratic senator jeanne shaheen . thank you for joining us.

>> nice to be with you.

>> we were talking about the huge applause that jon huntsman received. you said people are tired of this kind of attitude in america. i'm curious your thoughts on the applause that he received in that audience yesterday after the meet the press debate.

>> one of the things about the new hampshire primary is voters here really do make up their own minds and engage with the candidates, and i think this was example of their saying, this is what we think as voters. we think the president and congress ought towork together. republicans and democrats need to figure out how to work together in the best interest of the country. that's what they were responding to.

>> we know there's many that will believe that mitt romney will go on the get the nomination. it seems his camp thought it was a done deal. they were focusing on president obama . i want to play the latest of what mitt romney had to say about the president and how this might set the stage if he does get the nomination. let's play it.

>> this president has caused a deepen recession and responsible for 25 million americans being out of work. this president has been a failure.

>> there you have it. mitt romney saying the president has been a failure despite the fact that unemployment is the lowest it's been in three years. how do you respond?

>> i think you pointed out with the showing of the earlier commercials that newt gingrich and others are running that mitt romney will have to answer for his record on job creation and the number of jobs that he sent overseas. when we get down to a race where there's a republican nominee running against the president. that race will be about the vision that the republican nominee has versus the vision that president obama has for america. i think that's a vision of the republican candidates 1%, versus the 99% that are supported by the president's policies.

>> senator, if mitt romney gets the nomination, i think you heard michael say that super pac ad from newt gingrich , you have these every day working folks that lost their jobs as a decision made at bain capital which mitt romney was the head, if that would be a part of the democratic strategy. it seems to be his weakness with the american people who would like to be working right now or love to be working right now.

>> well, as i said, i think that's the record that mitt romney will have to talk about is why he sent those jobs overseas. one of the things about the new hampshire primary is it's all about expectations and the expectations here are very high for mitt romney . it's going to be very interesting to see if he meets the expectations.

>> thank you very much. we greatly appreciate your time. besides
