what it is means that it is going to be a tightly contested race. it is a very polarized nation. when you start looking at how their paths of victory work out, there are a lot of combinations that barack obama can assemble that even include him losing states he won the first time around and far fewer i think for mitt romney. >> if you are wondering how big a factor the economy is and unemployment is in the election, virginia happens to be the state with the lowest unemployment rate in the country. that's what the margin looks like. >> that would be the case, i think, if every state had that margin, we would have a man there. >> i want to talk about this energy thing these guys talked about today. let's listen to governor mcdonald and mitt romney talking about energy. >> we are an energy capital when it comes to the nuclear industry. we haven't built a new plant in 25 years. he has cut back on the number of licenses by 50% given to drillers and public lands. his policies have made it harder for us to take advantage of our energy resources. >> chris, those happen to be lies.
