in the left bloc, republicans rallying up support of the main attraction, former alaska governor sarah palin. in the right box democrats getting love from comparison in chief, president obama arriving in minneapolis just minutes ago getting set for his last stop in a five-state, four-day campaign blitz. we're monitoring those events. we'll take you there live, first, let's go to wendall goler from minneapolis? >> al franken warming the crowd for the second of the five stops aimed at governor's races. there are 37 this year which is unusually large number and evenly split between 26 democrats and 24 republican incumbents but that balance is expected to radically change after november 2nd. the president is determined to try to to limit their losses. vegas was a last stop where he campaigned for harry reid and barbara boxer. >> the governor's races are more about stopping the being. former senator mark dayton which was best known for shutting down his office after his office issued a terrorist threat actually as had a good chance of beating lousy odds. >> i think minnesota is place where democrats are looking better because you have eight years of a republican governor. it's easier to make a change argument because republicans have about been in power. >> tim pawlenti may be a victim of anti-incumbency and dayton faces a republican and third third party candidate, as well. republicans may wind up with a net gain with eight governor's races this year which would tip the balance of 38 states in the republican hands, 18 in favor of democrats, that is huge imbalance. julie, back to you. >> julie: wendall, thank you very much. >> gregg: right now sarah palin, former governor of alaska is speaking in orlando, florida. let's take a shot of this. she is joining republicans like mark rubio and michael steele for a final 2010 victory fund-raising rally, weeks after sarah palin and michael steele got voters excited for election day out west. phil keating has more on this. >> reporter: sarah palin just to took the stage to the delight of the crowd to about 2,000 people here. the let's hear what the former of the governor of alaska is saying. >> i spent my time.... [ inaudible ] [ cheers and applause ] we apologize for the audio. we're getting this off the camera microphone and not off the podium microphone. we apologize that. phil keating is there as we cover both these events. the president is minneapolis and sarah palin in orlando. phil talk to us what has been going on down there. >> reporter: this is big fund-raising rally just like last weekend in anaheim, california. it shows how big those states are playing with the two national parties. national committee has s pam palace the headline speaker last weekend in anaheim and again at orlando today. first person that took the stage is somebody very popular in this crowd and closely watched on the national level. florida senate raise, marco rubio but got the crowd jazzed up saying the election ten days from now is about a very clear choice. take a listen. >> are we going to be the first to leave our children out or instead be the next generation of americans that allow our children to inherit, a life better than our own. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: chairman michael steele is here a national democratic committee chairman, he was campaigning for congress for south florida who is the democratic candidate for the florida race. let's take a look at couple clear politics average. in the polls right now, rubio showing a 11-point lead over charlie crist with a 23-point lead over the other opponent. in the governor's race, he is not here tonight. but that is neck and neck, it's a dead heat. it's perhaps the closest race right now. having a one-point lead over the democrat. he is the chief financial officer for the state of florida and within the margin of error and basically hanging high for the past several weeks. >> gregg: phil keating with michael steele and sarah palin live in orlando. thanks very much. by the way, we are monitoring both of these events as they are happening. the president in minneapolis, we'll go back to him as he a takes the stage and we'll listen more to the republican event now underway in florida. >> julie: only whistleblower wikileeks, leaks go 400,000 pages concerning the war in iraq and it suggests far more iraqis died since the u.s. invasion than previously report. jennifer griffin, what are we really learned from the secret war logs. >> reporter: biggest revelation of 109,000 war deaths, 66,000 were civilians and the u.s. turned a blind eye to detainee abuse and torture carried out about the iraqi security forces. here is an example from one report. on november 13th, 2005 the second brigade combat team found 173 iraqis detained. many of them have marks have abuse, cigarette burns, bruising and open sores. many are coughing and being described as walking approximately 95 detainees were being held in one room and sitting cross legged with blindfolds. yes, there was no investigation launched. >> julie: and jennifer, the pentagon's reaction to the wikileaks dump? >> months ago it set up a task force of intelligence agents to anticipate and scour through the leaked material. listen to jeff morales. >> what we're more concerned about is not intelligence but harm that could come to our forces because it exposes how we operate in the field, how we respond after an attack, the capabilities of our equipment, things such as that that our enemies could potentially use against us. >> reporter: it's not a single aha report but the civilian casualties and war time abuse to target american voters as they head to the polls and to sway nato allies is turning against the war in afghanistan -- it is the propaganda value that has the pentagon worried, not any one revelation in particular. >> julie: isn't there a lot of evidence that more iranian involved in iraq than previously reported as well? >> reporter: that is one of more interesting revelations. take this report of a cross border shootout between u.s. and iranian forces on the border on september 7th, 2006. this is from wikileaks. iranians to the northwest of the column started to engage the patrol. the lieutenant gave the command to return fire. the entire column was under fire and they returned fire as they made a u-turn to leave the area. the plt received rpg and indirect fire all the way back to cp 14. the entire engagement lasted one and a half to two minutes. iranian indirect fire landed around them for approximately five minutes. now, one iranian gunner was killed by u.s. gunfire and they took five iranian soldiers hostage. all why were eventually released but not the kind of activity highlighted during the war and all of it is coming out of the battlefield reports that wikileaks has published in the last 24 hours. >> julie: thank you very much. and president obama on a campaign blitz with days to tg that could change the show. his big message is change takes time so don't give up. quite a change two years ago but is that enough of a rallying cry with so much at stake for the democrats? bob, managing editor of the hill joins me. the president is driving home the message that change is slow to come but it is coming. is this don't give up message strongest strategy with just days to go? >> she trying to get independents but get the base out, young voters, hispanics, women. so he going to a lot of districts and blue, he is going to california and patrick kennedy's old seat and rhode island. democrats have won two elections in a row but they know how to play this game and the president is trying to fire up the base. we didn't hear the argument two years ago about change takes time. >> julie: on vegas he said, if everybody showed up in 2008 shows up in 2010, we will win this election. he is counting on women, hispanics, college students. do you think you can count on them this time around? >> he is right. if everybody shows up again but the president knows that is not possible. that is not even close to being possible. so enough of them so democrats can retain the senate and possibly the house or the house is looking like an uphill climb. but going back to the sarah palin speech, she is rallying against the status quo. that is line that rahm emanuel chief of staff used against republicans. now obama is the status quo. >> julie: i hate to interrupt you, hold on. we have audio problem fixed up in florida where sarah palin is rallying for republicans as we speak. let's listen to what she has to say. and his acknowledgement and the strength and goodness of the american people. he understood the power of the individual and he understood that government is not the answer, it's we the people. individuals, our families, our small businesses. [ cheers and applause ] >> it's you. and he understood this country because he believed in us as individuals. he believed in us, the little guy and he said it with all due respect when he referred to us as the little guy. reagan said you can't be for good government, big taxes and big bureaucracy and still be for the little guy. and we little guys, just hard working, middle-class, job creating americans, that is who reagan could relate to. so freedom loving little guys, that is who i think all of us -- how about we make november 2nd freedom day and we take it back for the little guy! [ cheers and applause ] because we don't ask for much. we ask for a good job in our hometown so we can take care of ourselves and take care of our own families. we ask for a fiscally and physically secure nation and honest government that is on our side and won't be riding our back. we ask for leaders with service hearts and hearing what the people are saying. we are not asking for hch in. we're asking for leaders who won't mortgaged are kids' future with trillions more in debt. we ask for leaders who understand that raising federal taxes in a time of economic woe is a recipe for disaster. its recipe to bankrupt our county. this is recipe for disaster what we're seeing coming out of the white house right now. ultimately what is going to caused people relying on a big centralized government to provide for them now, this is important, it's why we are calling for the do-officer because some our current leaders do understand that last point but they are doing it to you anyway. we ask for leaders who will recognize what our foundation is in america. that america is the most generous country on earth, the most prosperous, the safest and united under god we are an exceptional country and that is nothing to apologize for. [ cheers and applause ] there is no alternative. we have a president today, as we talk about no need to apologize, we have a president today who is getting pretty good at apologizing. the problem, of course, is that he is apologizing to all the wrong people. [ laughter ] >> so mr. president with you'll due respect, that urge to apologize singles up the left leg, i have suggestion who it is that needs to hear the apology. how about for the 15 million americans that are out of work today. [ cheers and applause ] >> how about for the over one million floridians that can't find a job today. [ applause ] >> wait, wasn't that stimulus package, wasn't that supposed to create all these jobs, right? what it was we actually got for those stimulus dollars. what did taxpayers really get for that nearly trillion dollar package? shear couple of examples, okay? in california, california academy of science, $2 million to photograph, capture and study ants in east africa. the lead investigator of the study juchd it by saying we've all run into ants, now it is time that we start listening to them. now this is congress we cannot get to listen to us but they will spend millions listening to the ants. okay? local, here in florida, tallahassee got $3.5 million for a turtle tunnel that will help the turtles and alligators get to the other side. you know, how do you actually get them to obey that and use the tunnel? where i come from, animals don't read the street signs. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> another one here in sunshine state, the grant to study the effects of excessive alcohol use on a mouse's motor skills. didn't know they had a drinking problem, did you? i'm note an expert a drunk mouse is much like a drunk man, they start wobbling around. it's not pretty to save a few million there. makes you wonder, how do they come up with this stuff? they took all the crazy ideas and pelosi's in-box and added it up and said $787 billion. then what do we call it? stimulus, bingo, because something will stimulate this economy like a turtle tunnel in tallahassee? stuffing a hundred dollar bill in crackerjack box could stimulate better to create real jobs for americans but don't give them any idea, no crackerjack stuffing. seriously, it did not work. they now are preaching to you. >> julie: there you have it sarah palin speaking to a republican crowd. trying to rally support. as he talked about the democrats are hoping president obama will rally support for the democrats. you've got sarah palin stomping for republicans and bill clinton stomping for democrats. you have a lot of names. what is your reaction listening to sarah palin. very tongue-in-cheek referring to congress and the way they spend money, talking about mickey mouse having an alcohol problem as one of the examples, bob? >> it's a party and not about you. >> we didn't have your audio. >> basically, politicians, it's not about me or other party. she is throwing red meat to cutting government and mocking the media with this. she is also attacking the president. that is what the base loves. she knows she has to get the base. she is very popular figure in the republican base. that is, she would be a force if she ran for president on the republican side at least, no doubt bit. >> julie: what about the democratic side and bill clinton who has been out office for a decade but resonates among democrats. he has campaigned for more than 65 candidates at a hundred events. if democrats regain control of the house or senate or both, what does it say for obama when our own president can't really resonate voters the way the former president can? >> just think about two and a half years ago, president obama and president clinton were going after each other. but now they want bill clinton. a lot of these southern democrats including blanche lincoln, they want bill clinton in their state. they do not want barack obama. and bill clinton has been very frustrated of the democratic message, it's all over the map, he said. he is trying to be the guy to rescue the party. a lot of candidates are saying come on down. >> they talk about the numbers much better and i guess people look to him as the new messiah. you can watch sarah palin at foxnews.com. also president obama will be speaking live in just about ten minutes from now. we'll go to that as soon as he starts speaking. >> gregg: from florida and minneapolis, let's head out to california, down to the wire for a key congressional seat hack inning the balance. orange county democrat loretta sanchez, she fighting to keep her job against vietnamese immigrant and republican dan tran, both trying to appeal to the growing vietnamese community knowing their vote is crucial to a victory. casey stegall is live from the west coast newsroom with that story? >> good to see you. as the mid terms are just about a week away, a lot of races are certainly heating up and here in california there is no exception. as a new power force as emerged when it comes to the 47th congressional seat. that represents much of orange county, california. it is an area where political players have predominantly have been white and latino but it looks like the contest could be decided by a small but mighty group of voters. we're talking about vietnamese americans. 14-year incumbent loretta sanchez is loved by the vietnamese community. she travels to vietnam and even co-founded the congressional caucus on vietnam. but she recent came under fire after an interview where she said, quote, the vietnamese and the republicans are trying to take away this seat. she later apologized and clarified she didn't mean the entire vietnamese community but still her opponent, van tran ran it and put out ads condemning her comments. mr. tran is a popular assemblyman and vietnamese immigrant himself which many believe could help him get the key votes on election day. latest polling showing sanchez with only a the-point lead. vietnamese population will be voting for sanchez, that is what i know because they understand all the work we've done for them in the last 14 years. meanwhile, they know that van tran has done nothing for them this entire time. >> unfortunately she has taken this seat for granted. change will come because people are sick and tired of the lack of representation and accountability on the part of their elected representative. that is why we will take this seat back to our voters. >> reporter: both parties have an eye on this race. bill clinton was out here campaigning on behalf of congresswoman sanchez while the national republican congressional committee helped tran raise nearly a million dollars for his campaign, name naming him as a young gun in the republican party. >> gregg: casey stegall, live in southern california, thanks. >> julie: and we're awaiting president obama to speak to the nation. he is about to a take the stage in minneapolis. with just ten days left before voters decide the future of the country. can he rally support? and a new -- leak of military documents. what about the threat to our national security. we're going to ask a former state department official that question, next. ;7 [ female announcer ] have you tried this yet?

or the olay regenerist micro-sculpting serum for firmer skin in just five days? look for your p&g brandsaver for over $113 in savings on these and other innovative products. you'll find it in your october 31st sunday newspaper. >> julie: fox news election alert. president obama is set to take the stage right there any moment to get out the vote rally in minnesota, pund up with just about ten days to go until election day. president is trying the pump up the base for gubernatorial candidate mark dayton and many other democrats running for house seats. this his last stop in a four-day campaign swing and then he'll be heading to washington. he was on the da had ly show. we'll go to the president as soon as he goes to the mic. >> the pentagon is now condemning wikileaks for releasing almost 400,000 secret iraq war documents. they say the logs have been edited to conceal information that could be harmful to our troops and informants, as well. but what other kinds of damage could this cause? what impact does this have on our intel gathering. christy is a former advisor to the under secretary of state for democracy and global affairs. thank you so much for being with us. how much damage do you think this does? >> specifically -- >> it's hard to overstate how much damage this is going to do. the types of adversaries we fight around the world, these are people that don't wear uniforms so our ability to gather information on the ground from networks really critical. what we have in this is an organization, a foreign organization, anti-american organization that is waging political warfare on us trying to make it harder for us to get the information we need to defeat these threats. >> gregg: they say there are thousands of iraqi names in the leaked documents and 300 informants directly be in danger are their lives in jeopardy? >> this is an organization not just many anti-american organizations but it's putting lives at risk. pentagon is doing its part. it has 120 analysts working on this. they could be doing other things but they are having to do this. the other thing we're seeing a lot of less activity out of the white house. there are other things we could do. >> gregg: like what? >> we've seen this before. wikileaks has released 77,000 documents, that was april and we haven't done the things we could. why haven't the officers been charged. why haven't we gone after the sources of funding or looked at cyber wear. the leader is an australian national. why don't we talk to the australians about going after him. >> gregg: i'm glad you brought that up. i spoke a couple weeks with a recently retired general, anthony tata who is going to be on in the next hour who said this about the guy who has been leaking all this information, julian assange. take a listen. >> for these documents to be released, its huge national security breach. julian asanction and everybody associated with wikileaks should be declared enemies of the state and should take appropriate government action to deal with the enemy of the state. >> gregg: in other words, capture him and prosecute him for aiding and abetting the enemy. you agree, i take it? >> i do, but there are number of steps we can take. we could look at the finances of the organization and tell technology companies that host it they are facilitating terrorism, they won't be allowed to do business in u.s. or financial transactions. there are number of things that we aren't doing. the pentagon appears to be doing what it can, but the justice department, treasury department, other instrumentalities aren't doing anything. >> gregg: beyond the potential loss of human life, which is considerable, when you think of all the people that have been outed, doesn't it have a severe chilling effect on our ability to gather intel from indigenous sources? >> that is right. when you give information, whether it just a small bit of information you might give to an army sergeant about who came through last night or whether you are providing top political intelligence to our central intelligence agency, you are putting the faith in the u.s. government that that information will be secured or if breached someone will look out for you and your family before the bad guys get you. so all of that is in question. it's not just an anti-american organization, it's an organization waging political warfare against us. >> gregg: and it's at a time when the leadership there is acutely fragile. christian, thanks very much for being with us. >> julie: you heard of laws designed to keep sex offenders of striking again. now there is law for the man abuses. they have the first nation's animal abuse registry. >> reporter: according to suffolk county, animal abuse is up about 20%. according to them it has a lot to do with the down economy where people can't afford to take care of their kids and their pets or where people are evicted from foreclosed homes and they leave their pets inside to die. anyone convicted of animal abuse there won't just go on jail. they will be on a registry and forced to provide a photo, name address and $50 to the county every year for five years. and pet shops and breeders are going to have to check the registry the same thing weapons dealer would before they sell anyone an animal. >> one of our recent cases, we made the arrest and when we made the arrest, the subject was on the computer looking to buy another puppy. so it's just unbelievable what people are able to do. they are able to abuse and commit these crimes and then go out and get another animal. this registry is going to put a stop to that. >> reporter: the bill is expected to be signed into law the next 30 days and allow private citizens to log on as well to see which of their neighbors they should avoid while walking the dog. it's supporters awareness is key because animal abusers can be a danger to everyone. >> the fact is that people that hurt animals have a tendency of hurting people. it's also a fact that many serial killers have began by torturing animals and killing animals before they went on to humans. >> the folks behind all this say they have received calls from counties across america who would like toy similar registries. if you would like to go to suffolk spca.org. >> we're getting new details on a shark attack. what investigators are now saying killed a teenager while surfing on this ordinary. take a look at that bite mark, they are thinking it's a great white. >> and foreclosure madness getting more confusing. some banks announcing an end to the foreclosure free, what this all means, next. for 25,000 mil es? but when you call... let me check. oh fud, nothing without a big miles upcharge. it's either pay their miles upcharges or connect through mooseneck!

[ cheers and applause ] >> and it's an honor to be standing here next to your next governor mark dayton. [ cheers and applause ] >> let me just make messages of the other wonderful public servants that are here, former vice president walter mondale is in the house. your terrific pair of senators, amy and al franken are here, an outstanding congressional did he live calls, keith ellison, jim obersar and all the great candidates. we're thild thrilled to see them. obviously i am very honored to be here with mark because, i served with mark in the united states senate. so i know this man. i know that he has been fighting for the people of this state his entire career. you know what kind of leader he is. you know what kind of fighter he is. everybody else in this race may be talking about change, here is the only candidate that can deliver change and delivered change before. [ applause ] >> the only candidate who helped grow this state's economy. the only candidate that put people back to work. the only candidate who saved taxpayer dollars by cutting abuse. he has a track record. you know mark dayton. he is only candidate that will stand up for the middle-class, on who has a plan to balance the budget without sacrificing our children's education. [ cheers and applause ] a candidate who has a plan to create jobs and help small business owners grow. the point is mark dayton has spent his life fighting for minnesota. now, i need all of you to fight for mark dayton so we can keep this state moving forward. [ cheers and applause ] it looks like you are kind of fired up! and i need you fired up because in just ten days you have the chance, not to effect the direction of this state but also to help determine the direction of this country. not just for the next two years but the next five years, the next ten years, the next 20 years. just like you did in 2008 you have the chance to defy the conventional wisdom. because right now the conventional wisdom is that you can't overcome the cynicism of politics, that you can't overcome all the special interest money that mark was talking about, that you can't system can't digests, that the it. the same way they said that you can't elect a skinny guy to the presidency to the united states of america. [ applause ] so in 2008 you said, yes yes, you can, in 2010, you got to say yes, we can. [ applause ] >> yes, he can -- yes, he can. >> yes, you can. >> and there is no doubt that this is going to be a difficult election. it's because we've been through an incredibly difficult time for our nation. for most of the last decade, the middle-class in america was getting pounded. give you a few statistics between 2001 and 2009 when republicans were in charge, the middle-class saw their incomes go down by 5% during that period. that is not according to me, that is according to the "wall street journal". between that same period, we had the slowest most sluggish job growth of any time since world war ii. so this was a lot of decade for middle-class families. everything from health care to getting a college education were skyrocketing and jobs were disappearing overseas. too many parents had to say we can't afford to send you to college and too many families had to pass up going to the doctor when they got sick. americans having two or three jobs and still not making ends meet. then all of this culminated in the worst financial crisis and the worst economic crisis since the great depression. >> gregg: so the president a campaign blitz, oregon, washington, minnesota, five states in four days. he is hoping to drum up to get support that propelled him to the white house. hispanics and women and his message here is don't give up. cast your ballot. we'll continue to follow his remarks and you can catch more of them streaming live at foxnews.com. >> julie: turning to the foreclosure mess. bank of america ending the foreclosure freeze but many they were doing an action about hundred thousand homes across the country. does it mean it's in repair or still in meltdown mode. joining me is christian. with banks now getting back to the foreclosure business, what does it mean, is that the old snafu and we're to now on the mend? >> i think it's a bold move by bank of america because we're early on in the foreclosure mess. there are 50 attorney generals getting together starting their investigation and u.s. justice department. so we'll see what happens. >> julie: i guess the question is now, what happens to all of those who were evicted and many of them say they were wronglyvektd from their homes. do they have any recourse? >> it be interesting to. see this investigation, my belief is will uncover some irregular activities. certainly here in illinois, state attorney general has talked about potential fraudulent activity. i believe that there could be some civil, criminal charges that emerge from here. we'll have to see once the results come in the weeks ahead from these investigations. >> julie: to be clear, bank of america said they didn't find foreclosures that were unwarranted in their reviews but there may be cases where banks need to do reviews. what actions can be taken by homeowners? >> you should probably have a good lawyer and reviewing all your paperwork and trying to be involved in the foreclosure process. bank of america is saying they had no problems in these 102,000 foreclosures but they have to resubmit those documents. i think it's questionable, not many times you can resubmit a legal document and have it do over. >> julie: speaking of having a good lawyer, the big banks, they are hiring these large national law firms but if they are lawyering up, what does it say about potential liability? >> it could be huge. there is some talk that really the only way out of this mess could be a large settlement, similar to the tobacco settlement that happened with the state attorney generals years ago. that settlement might lead to a lot of mortgage writedowns or modifications for those who are in the foreclosure process. >> julie: thanks very much. >> gregg: arizona state university student is now offering a pretty stunning deal. dan marcos' son was shot and killed during a robbery attempt last weekend. a gunman taking his cell phone an laptop computer before going in a getaway car. now dan marco, the dad, is making the offer driving the car. take a listen. >> you give the information that leads to the arrest of the man that killed my son and i will waive my right not to be interviewed by defense counsel and i will work with your attorney behind the scenes or in front of the scenes and i will work with him toward achieving a plea bargain that allows you to see the light of day. >> gregg: joining me is bob and mercedes. you know, arizona is a state which has adopted the felony murder rule which means if anybody dies during the course of a felony everybody is guilty, even if that person didn't pull the trigger. is it appropriate for the victim's father to use as leverage, essentially the felony murder rules in the defense of the son's killer? >> as a murder, i certainly feel the tragedy. i certainly understand how tragic the circumstances for this poor man, but i don't think there is anything inappropriate to make the offer. i do think it will tip the scales of the prosecution. if the prosecution knows obviously, it's on national news, they will know he is proceeding this way. they may introduce it at trial to make certain they will show a rock solid bias against this individual. if this father is going to help me see the light of day then i won't be incarcerated for life, i'm going to say whatever i need to say to implicate the other person. that bias will come forward. >> gregg: bob, what do you think? >> at first, i'm wondering how the father has the fortitude to step forward but how smart are the suspects. it's nothing more than a ploy because most people in this situation, maybe they are smart enough to recognize it didn't matter what he says because he may provide them a defense and say certain things. he also notion it's going to be the district attorney's final decision on that, no matter what. the best thing would be, if really wants to do this is send a message and try to work something out with them. if in fact this person steps forward, would you be willing to do this so we could get the bad guy that pulled the trigger. >> gregg: there is a very well known case, tyson versus arizona 1987, supreme court ruled that the death penalty may be immaterial posed on somebody who is a major participant in the underlying felony and with acted with reckless indifference to human life. here the driver, as i see it death penalty eligible. >> i think its great point. but the prosecution is going to use the same argument, the same bias argument. i think the stakes are much higher. if the prosecution is going to look at and exploit the bias, they can certainly say this to the jury. this man man's life is in peril. that is why he is saying this. you can't believe what he had to say because he feels she actually being paid off by the victim. >> gregg: i want to repeat the message, slightly different way. that the father said. let's put it up on the screen. this was the message that the father of the victim said to the getaway car driver. the inevitability of your capture is certain you have a small opportunity that is being offered to you because this is it. if the police catch you, all bets are off and trust me, as hard as i would work for you, i will work against you. this is your one chance. bob, you're a veteran criminal defense attorney. have you ever heard anything like that? would you think that motivate the getaway car driver? >> you know what -- to get into the minds of those people, the act is so outrageous they are not going to be that vulnerable to step forward. he surely lays it out what his state of the mind and the hurt he is degrees go and what he is willing to do. and how criminal these people are. with we're not dealing with people that are normal people. we're dealing with people that have no regard for life. so i think it's a toss of the coin. >> gregg: an irrational act so not dealing with that. >> exactly. >> gregg: thank you both. thanks. >> our hearts go out to the marco family. >> julie: you've heard from president obama and former alaska governor sarah palin, but with ten days to go, just how much can they help in getting the job done for their respective parties?

>> reporter: well, the pentagon has said that this can endanger the lives of those who collaborated with the u.s. out in the field. and, they are very concerned, particularly, about 300 iraqis that they believe iraqi informants, who they believe could be at risk and have given those names to centcom and they are trying to track those informants down but julian assange said they did not publish any names and the one person at risk from all of the revelation is nouriel maliki of iraq, today there are accusations by sunnis and others that his shia militias were torturing signs and it could be destabilizing as he tries to form a government in iraq. julie. >> julie: thanks. >> gregg: military documents posted by wikileaks shedding new light on the arrests of three hikers by iran, a someone's secret military report, says th on the iraqi side of the border. shane bauer and josh fattal are still in custody and accused of spying and the third hiker was released last into and the three were planning to hike up a mountainous area in iraq, called ahmed alah when they were taken into custody. >> julie: al qaeda's mouth piece, adam gadahn urging muslims in the u.s. and europe to carry out attacks there, the video posted on militant web site speaking in arabic, the oregon born gadahn called on muslims in the west to act alone, rather than joining a cell, his message of individual jihad echoing similar recent calls, for wanna be terrorists, to mimic the fort had massacre or attempted bombings over detroit last christmas and times square last my. -- last may. ♪ >> gregg: here in america's election headquarters, just ten days until decision day, the political heavy weights are certainly out in full force, sarah palin headlining a g.o.p. rally in florida today. the former alaska governor joined by michael steele in orlando and florida, g.o.p. senate candidate marco rubio. the republican is locked in a red-hot three-way race with independent charlie crist and democrat kendrick meek, phil keating is live in orlando and is this the last r.n.c. victory rally before the election. >> reporter: it is this final one and now it is about getting out the vote and get, anybody who has not voted early, to vote early or on election day, the second of two sarah palin and michael steele, the chairman of the r.n.c., victory rallies, last weekend it was anaheim, california, where of course the g.o.p. hopes to defeat senator barbara boxer and today in orlando, florida, right on the i-4 corridor, very thick battle ground of the sunshine state and michael steele got the crowd revved up and appealed to the sunshine -- as he appealed to the sunshine state. >> what's going on! [cheers and applause]. >> i can hear you... [cheers and applause]. >> i can't hear you! florida in the house! [cheers and applause]. >> reporter: now, this was primarily a fund-raiser, there were 2,000 people here and we don't know the total of what was raised but in the month of september the democrats on the national stage actually raised more money than the republicans, $17 million, pulled ein by democrats, and 10 million by republicans. >> gregg: sarah palin has a tendency to draw a crowd. were all the big republicans there for the rally. >> everyone but rick scott, whose campaign tells me he had a long planned barbecue events in jacksonville and finally won the endorsement of his opponent, republican attorney general bill mccollum, who withheld that endorsement for two months, and it was a bitter primary battle, between the two men and of course, marco rubio, he got a lot of applause and his speech drew a lot of laughs, and he threw in a few jokes, the republican candidate for the florida senate seat, an open seat against the independent governor, charlie crist and congressman kendrick meek and he said, basically, this is a big election day and you have to make a choice between going backwards as a nation or going forward, and look at the latest poll, rubio is in a commanding lead and has been for several weeks. now, the real clear politics average has him at 43% of the polling data. 32 for independent governor crist, and 20 for congressman meek. >> gregg: how much excitement did sarah palin generate there? >> reporter: quite a bit. quite a bit, wherever she goes, she's a huge draw and she draws a crowd and also big dollars and has been mentioned as a likely 2012 presidential candidate. of course, florida very important and a lot of the possible candidates in 2012 have been supporting florida candidates, making stops in the state over the years. the past several months, sarah palin basically said he invoked some of ronald reagan in her stump speech while looking towards the future. >> you can't be for big government, big taxes and big bureaucracy and still be for the little guy. and, we little guys, hard working, pro family, middle class, job creating americans, that is who reagan could relate to. so, freedom-loving, little guys, that is ho i thiw i think of yo about we make november 2nd freedom day and take it back for the little guy. [cheers and applause]. >> reporter: that was about 45 minutes ago, as you can tell behind me, this is all wrapped up and breaking the things down here. however, showing how important florida, the fourth largest state, largest battle ground state, fourth in electoral college points with 27, plays for both parties, and that is, that tim kaine, the former virginia governor, the democrat national committee chairman was down here yesterday as well, campaigning with kendrick meek. >> gregg: all right, thanks very much. in florida. >> julie: all right, president obama doing his part to rally voters in minnesota, making stops in minneapolis and here's a live look at the president now, delivering remarks at the "get out this vote" rally, at the universities of minnesota, stumping for mark dayton and wendell goler is there, live, now, compare the rally speech to others you have seen. >> reporter: the president's speech really has been quite similar to ones he has delivered elsewhere on the trip, much more focused on warning of the dangers of the democrats losing control of congress. than it is warning they are losing their advantage in state houses higher, and, frankly, minnesota senator al franken one-upped him, the president's story about the republicans driving the car into the ditch and franken said it was headed for a cliff and, president obama jumped out the window and, hit the brakes and saved it just in time. and he's here trying to help mark dayton win a three-way race, against two republicans, and, and, one too conservative for the state and, another lacking political organization and the president is trying to preserve or avoid what could be a democratic nightmare on november 2nd. in the 37 gubernatorial races, right now, with democrats now holding a 26-24 advantage, in governor's races, experts are predicting a net gain of 8 governor's houses, for republicans, and, which would tip the balance to 32 in favor of republicans, 32-18 in favor of republicans, and would make a big difference, as the states redraw congressional district lines based on the 2010 census and make it a lot more difficult for the president to campaign for re-election, in 2012. julie? >> julie: wendell goler, thank you very much. gregg? >> gregg: the president is also trying to help senate majority leader harry reid keep his job, the commander-in-chief is stumping for senator reid in the state of nevada last night and the latest rasmussen poll has republican and tea party favorite sharron angle leading reid, 50% to 47% and that is not outside the margin of error, quite a tight race and here now, a former communications director to then speaker of the house, dennis hastert and former senior advisor to then senate majority leader trent lott. and, alexandra acor-lyons joins us, alexandra, let me start with you, given the president's approval ratings, 47% in nevada and high disapproval numbers, is president obama a net negative on behalf of harry reid an motivating force for the opposition. >> no, i don't think so. the president went there yesterday, had a great rally, actually an early vote rally to get excited democrats to the polls, senator reid has already banked more votes than sharron angle in this election with early votes starting out in nevada and has a great operation, to be able to get the democratic face to turn out, and, president obama is incredibly popular amongst democrats and large hispanic and labor population in nevada and i think it was a plus for him. >> gregg: ron, fair and balanced here, harry reid's negative ratings are exceed only by sharron angle's scant 36%, of the favorable opinion of her, while 38% have a negative view of her, did republicans pick a week and polarizing candidate who, at least perceived as gaffe-prone? >> well, you know, i wouldn't necessarily say that, as much as harry reid has been extremely gaffe-prone and the poll that you took -- that rasmussen poll taken, the 50-47 poll was before harry reid said it was because of him that he was able to prevent a worldwide depression. and, that was before the unemployment numbers came out -- >> gregg: only slightly pretentious, but... go ahead. >> before the poll numbers came out -- i'm sorry. unemployment numbers which has unemployment at 15% in nevada with record foreclosure rates, and nevada is really upset about the way the country is going and the president has not helped senator reid out, but this is about independents and in terms of vote totals, in early voting republicans are leading the democrats. >> gregg: alexandra, what about that? the point is factual. the worst unemployment rate in the nation. nevada is i think, 14.4% and las vegas has a jobless rate of 15%, sharron angle is running an ad, blaming reid and the president for, quote-unquote destroying nevada's economy. how do you motivate democrats or, for that matter, independents who might be inclined to vote democrat with such abysmal job and economy numbers? >> well, look, no one denies nevada has been particularly hit by the recession. between the foreclosure rate and tourism. in the state. but, senator reid has always been there for nevada and has been bringing home money and jobs and debt foreclosure bill, for instance, harrah's organization which is huge in nevada estimated that that saved $32,000. and made 10,000 jobs happen in nevada with the stimulus fund just on the road construction bill unlike his opponents, who is in favor of policies that send jobs to china. harry reid is talking to two chinese companies about bringing jobs back to nevada and sharron angle is so far out of the mainstream and says it's not the government's job to help create jobs, she's for privatizing social security and against bank regulation, i mean, all of the things that got us into the mess, all of the policies nevadans oppose. >> gregg: you talked about harry reid's gaffes and sharron angle has had hers, too, and maybe it's contest of gaffes and, her latest one, she tells a group of hispanic students, for all she knows, they could be asian -- ouch! aren't those the kinds of remarks that alienate voters especially since nevada has a sizable hispanic vote. >> i will say, she's made mistakes, absolutely and despite them, it is telling that she's still leading harry reid. that is pretty amazing. and senator reid is trying to make it a choice between himself and sharron angle, rather than a referendum on his leadership, i don't know where the jobs are going, that was just -- comments were made and john where the jobs were being created. 15% unemployment is amazing to me. and, taking credit for preventing worldwide depression is also pretty amazing, as well. >> gregg: especially since he and the president promised unemployment would get no higher than 8% if they passed the stimulus bill and most nef va v dens -- nevadans think the stimulus bill hurt, not helped, the economy, and, thank you both. we'll see in ten days from now. >> thanks, gregg. >> julie: tropical storm richard is inching closer to hurricane status, the system is dumping rain on honduras, and shelters are being prepared for 50,000 people, elsewhere, warnings and watches are going up for coastal communities, meteorology maria molina is tracking that in the weather center. >> you are absolutely correct. lots of rain falling onto the system and as we look at the tropical satellite you can see that band of heavy rain in eastern portion of honduras and as the system continues to push westward we do expect direct impact off of -- cross central portions coming into your sunday, maybe later on, and we also expect the storm to intensify to a category 1 hurricane, and while currently we have the sustained winds 65 miles per hour we expect it to be at around 80 miles per hour on sunday evening, sunday night as it makes impact and while it makes landfall it will weaken, and as it interacts with land and once it meteorologist over the gulf of mexico, we do expect to it remain just as a low pressure system and weak due to strong wind sheer, out across the gulf of mexico and that is definitely good news, for the u.s., however, not a whole lot of good news now in dallas as we have basically what is called a dry line, set up across the state of texas and what this is, it separates basically drier air from moist air and that is where the storms are firing up, already flash flooding occurring across the dallas-fort worth-metro area and 2-3 inches are reported and an additional 2-4 inches are expected and also a tornado watch is in effect until 8:00 p.m. central time and second watch up north through kansas, missouri, basically, until 10:00 p.m. central. so, back to you guys, over there, julie. >> julie: thank you very much. >> gregg: new information on a tragedy off the coast of california, authorities now saying a shark that killed a body boarder may have been a great white, 19-year-old lucas ransom was floating a few feet from a friend and a shark rose out of the water and bit into his leg and pulled him under and his friend got him back to shore but it was too late. he was a junior at the university of california, santa barbara and investigators recovered the board and they are looking at the bite marks to get more information about the shark. >> julie: at least a dozen young people are dead after a shooting massacre at a house party, miles from the u.s. border in mexico. it happened in juarez, a city plagued by drug related violence and investigators say three cars drove up to a house party and began shooting, victims range from 14 to 20 years old and at least 18 others were wounded including a 9-year-old child and police say the suspects fled and remain on the loose. >> gregg: hundreds of thousands of secret war documents are now public. all at the hands of this man, wikileaks founder julian assange. do his actions leave american troops in even more danger?

>> i will tell you this is four times the amount released before and i still believe julian assange is an enemy of the state and we need to declare him as such and bring him and his compatriots in and he's aiding and abetting the terrorists, making things hard for our troops on the ground, because they don't know what has been leaked and what has not been leaked. they are out there every day and on the front lines, and, some of their positions may be comp made and so -- compromised and some sources maybe compromised and, this is serious and needs to be declared enemy of the state. >> julie: my question is when in the heck will we do that, the terrorist organization, we know will use the information against us and as you said, this iraq leak is actually more than four times as large as the afghanistan leaks. when will we prosecute julian assange? >> the sooner the better in my view, when you look at what is being alleged. i saw an earlier portion of the show where a reporter said that a report alleged cigarette burns and all of that on a prisoner of war and these are first hand accounts and impressions, an old maxim the first report is always wrong and i don't necessarily believe that in every case, but, we need to give some time to process these documents and there is a time, classified effort going on right now, to process every one of these documents, to try to make sure that our troops are taken care of. but, this throw these papers out in the court of public opinion and say, that, you know, we did nothing in response to a certain spot report, that is just ludicrous. in my view. >> julie: let's talk about the deaths of iraqi civilians at the hands of the american military while most were killed by their own people. it does appear according to the documents that the number of civilian deaths by the hands of americans is much greater than the number made public by the u.s. during the bush administration. we still have troops in iraq. i mean, how damaging could it be for our troops, in iraq, still serving there. >> it depends how the information is handled. i'm sure, that the military is going to investigate fully anything that appears -- makes it appear we didn't try to be truthsful and that is not the impression i have. these five reports went forward, went to commanders and commanders -- almost in every case, commanders deal with the information they get and prosecuted if necessary soldiers who kill innocent civilians. and we have seen many, many stories on that. now, there may be new cases that come to light, you have an atrocious case in afghanistan now where the military is doing the right thing by prosecuting a few soldiers that committed what appears to have been crimes and i have every confidence the military will do the right thing, going forward with these documents here. so, the real issue is, that the enemy tries to take the information and make it seem true, and make it seem like we did nothing, and then, turn the population against us, and, right now, that could, as you pointed out, could be crucial as the stage we are in, in iraq. >> julie: this is pentagon doing the right thing? wikileaks never stated where it obtained the information, though, an intelligence analyst bradley manning is arrested, accused of being a source of classified material. what is the pentagon -- has the pentagon done to mitigate the fallout? >> well, what the pentagon has done is there is a task force pulled together in the region, washington, d.c. region, going through every, single document. you can -- now you have 5, 600,000 documents, you have to go through and they are analyzing them and they'll determine if there is fallout and if there is any activity, that needs to be investigated. or not. and they are taking the appropriate action and you can imagine the strain that this puts on the bureaucracy and the pentagon and on the intelligence community to try to, a, the first priority is to take care of our troops down range and are trying to figure out whether or not there is information that is harmful and whether or not sources are being named and you have to pull them off the front lines. and take care of our troops first. and the next priority is to figure out has something been reported that wasn't fully looked into or investigated and i think that's a second priority to try and take care of our troops first. >> julie: retired brigadier general anthony tata, we appreciate you coming onto discuss the your gentlemen, scary matter. thank you. gregg. >> gregg: as we mentioned, ten more days to election day, and, ten more days of attack ads. love 'em or hate 'em they likely have an impact, molly henneberg looked at a barrage of ads in who key battleground states and joins us live from washington. tell us about the ads. >> reporter: hi, gregg, the ads may be flooding the tvs, of people who live in these states, in the case, nevada and pennsylvania. but the rest of the country may not have much of an idea about the latest salvos between the candidates. in nevada, the senate race between democratic majority leader harry reid and sharron angle is neck and neck. and angle having a slight read in most polls an reid put out this ad after a debate last week going after angle, on insurance mandates. >> at the debate, sharron angle couldn't think of a single thing insurance companies should be made to cover. not one thing. not colon cancer tests, not mammograms, not autism, nothing. >> anything at all? >> no insurance mandates? >> not if she has her way, that is extreme and dangerous. >> reporter: she said she doesn't want the federal government telling private insurance companies what they have to cover. president obama was in nevada, stumping for senator reid yesterday and this is the ad angle's team put out about nevada's economic situation. >> reporter: meap while in -- meanwhile in the democratic race, joe sestak closed the gap with pat time aoomey and toomey sestak on his votes in the house an sestak fired back. >> it is sad what happened to yo sestak. he served our country well. then went to washington. where he voted in lock-step with the extreme agenda of bailouts, downtown, government health care, and job-killing energy taxes. >> bail out this banks... i had to clean up the mess left behind by these guys. they let wall street run wild. now, pat toomey is attacking me for cleaning up his mess. >> reporter: the polls have toomey up by 2 points. gregg? >> gregg:s molly henneberg, live in washington, thanks very much. en enrichment time for health care plans across america for many companies. the cost of premiums expected to rise as employers pass on the added costs to employees. the choices we make this year could really come back to haunt us, next year and that is, if we are not smart about making the right choices. "money magazine" is now offering tips on what you need to know to ease the financial pain, and here now to talk about it, amanda gengler of money magazine, good to see you. is it true that average premiums this year will be higher by as much as -- from what i read -- 14% for the employees' share of the family plan? >> average premiums will be up, and, so will deductibles, co-insurance, co-pay and when you look at those costs together most families will pay nearly 13% more next year than they did this year. >> gregg: pretty amazing and half the workers have more than one plan to choose from. during the open enrollment. how do you pick the right plan? >> the first thing you cannot do this year is stick with the same plan you always have been in without really looking at your other options, because the benefit or -- how the benefit plans are structured is changing. co-insurance where you pay a percentage of the cost is becoming much more popular, instead of the flat fee co-pay you are used to, we're seeing a new plan, high deductible plan and you have lower premiums up front and you have to foot a big bill when you need care. because of all of those reasons, this year, you
