"Here's the problem with talking about $700 billion that got cut out of Medicare, which was then transferred to ObamaCare, which takes care of the same people -- the problem is that nobody believes it. You can't convince people that a Democrat is going to cut Medicare. They don't believe that," fmr. Gov. Howard Dean (D-Vt.) said on "This Week" today.

"It's the same problem Mitt Romney has with all his Swiss bank accounts and his Cayman Island accounts," Dr. Dean said. "People just don't think that Mitt Romney cares about ordinary people, they just don't believe he does. And I don't think the addition of Paul Ryan is going to help that any. That's the problem, that's the core problem."

"People vote on whether you care -- this candidate cares about people like me and I don't think that this is going to change that very much on the Republican side," Dean said.
