Axelrod: Christie speech not going to make Romney ‘vision any more appealing’

President Obama Campaign Senior Advisor David Axelrod opens up to CNN’s Soledad O’Brien about Rep. Paul Ryan’s proposals, Gov. Chris Christie selection as keynote speaker at the RNC and the difference in plans for Medicare.

Axelrod says, “Well, look, I think that [Governor Chris Christie} do a great job for Governor Romney. The problem for Governor Romney isn’t his keynote speaker. It’s his point of view. And, you know, that’s what I think Americans are going to evaluate — his history, his vision for the country. And so, you know, he’ll have an entertaining keynote speaker, and no doubt that Governor Christie will do a good job and bring that lacerating humor of his to the task. But it’s not going — it’s not going to make the vision any more appealing.”

Starting Point with Soledad O’Brien airs weekday mornings from 7-9am ET on CNN.
