Campaign trip of this election cycle. Five days in just five states in just two states and while mitt romney continues his campaign through western states. We are going to start in reno nevada tonight where mitt romney was talking up his record on Small Business creation and romney drew sharp differences between himself and president obama. Small businesses were some two third of the jobs come from in this country. I want to get Small Business going again. That means i want to keep taxes down on Small Business. And from nevada we are going to head to iowa where early voting has begun and president obama at the Mississippi Valley fairgrounds today around the clock two day, 5,000mile campaign trip. Were going to pull an all nighter. No sleep. Were starting here in iowa. Were going to colorado. Then were going to go to nevada. Then were going to florida, virginia, ohio. I am going to stop in chicago to vote. Staying with the democrats in ohio now Vice President joe biden delivering pizza to an Obama Campaign office. Earlier he told buckeye supporters the debates have highlighted the Different Directions each campaign is on. The differences in our policies and i would submit to you in our values are profound. And the American People after four debates know it. Paul ryan meanwhile was in cleveland speaking at the Cleveland State university slamming the obama economic policies as a re distribution of wealth. Look at the road were on with trillion dollar deficits each and every year. Debt on this scale is so destructive in so many ways. And one of them is that it crowds out Civil Society by drawing resources away from private giving. Were just under the two week mark. There are 13 days left until the election to. Day on the trail, october 24th, 2012. Lets bring in fox 50 political analyst. And mark, we want to look at two new general election poles released to day showing mitt romney in the lead. Lets go to those. The pole out a few hours ago has romney at 50 percent. The president at 47 percent. The new pole released to day show as similar story. Mitt romney at 50 percent. President obama at 46 percent. Mark, what do you make of those poles. Does the president need to worry now with less than two weeks out. Of course he needs to worry. Theres one statistics which is front and center and im sure chicago and the Campaign Headquarters no incumbent president who has not been over 50 percent, except for 92 and 96 when ross perot ran but that wasnt an incumbent president that was bill clinton in 1992. Has won and the Electoral College determines who wins. But nobody wants to go in the last two weeks down in the popular vote total. Lets dig deeper in the battleground states. We have new poling out on ohio tonight and the race there. This pole comes from survey u. S. A finding the president in the lead in ohio 47 percent to mitt romneys 44 percent. Now, mark, the one thing we know about ohio is that the democratic vote is centered around the urban areas from cleveland into columbus, down to cincinnati. How evenly is this divided now between the rural areas where the republicans tend to do better and the urban areas where the democrats stand to gain. Four years ago obama won by 181,000 votes out of about 5. 5 million. He won by five points. But he wins, or democrats win in canton, youngstown, cleveland, toleto, akron, but they get hurt in suburban communities around those cities. Especially Hamilton County in cincinnati and rural areas that arent at all populated by urban concentrations. And then, if you look at 76 when jimmy carter won. He wont by only 11,000 votes. And he won in that area south of u. S. 40 in the areas that border West Virginia and pennsylvania thats coal mining area in ohio. They have southern accents. And thats where obama is not going to win, but he needs to curtail or limit how much romney wins and of course the fight is over the suburbs surrounding the major cities where romney thinks he can do well. So mark, staying on that train of thought now. Take that, apply it to virginia. Because its a different story. The battleground state of virginia. Its almost a north, south situation where the republicans and democrats are strong. Great comparison. The only problem with doctor for democrats in ohio is that you have real concentrations of hispanic voters for obama doing very well now around richmond and of course in Northern Virginia. In ohio its only three percent hispanic, and that makes a great difference. And theres nowhere comparable in ohio except for the cities. You have the suburbs of Northern Virginia where obama got 60 percent of the suburbs of ohio around urban concentrations arent as favorable. Ill repeat. Ohio, no republican has ever been elected there. Theyve elected eight president s and theyve all been republicans and clinton won there twice. Gore, and carter lost in the second term. If barack obama wins ohio theyll be very, very happy and theyll think theyre on the way to 270. Mark, thank you for your time tonight. Brian we have preview into the Romney Campaign this weekend. Announcing that both mitt romney and paul ryan will Campaign Together in virginia this weekend. A news alert involving local politics from virginia.

The Romney Campaign finds itself once again being caught up in another republican candidates controversial comments on abortion. You may remember in august Republican Senate todd aken caused a stir when he said a woman could naturally stop a pregnancy if she was raped. This is coming out of indiana. The candidates stood by his comments today during a News Conference about all of this. And it happened last night in indiana between the Republican Senate candidate richard and democrat joe donly. Richard was answering a question about abortion in the case of rape and here was what he had to say. I believe life begins at conception. The only exception i have to have the abortion is in the case of the life of the mother. I struggled with it myself for a long time. But i came to realize life is a gift from god. And even when life begins in the horrible situation of rape that it is something that god intended to happen. So now the reaction. The spokesperson for the Romney Campaign distanced themselves from the comments to day. But not the candidate. Andrea put out an e mail saying governor romney disagrees with richard and his comments dont reflect governor romneys views. We disagree with the policies regarding exception for rape and incest but we support him. Romney has endorsed him and campaigned alongside him back in august and indiana. Putting womens rights in the forefront in this election. A lot of talks about abortion, contraception and health care funding. Join us to discuss the impact of women voters susan, the president of the dc chapter of now. The National Organization of women. And Kristen Hawkins. I want to give you a chance to respond to those comments and give us your thoughts on what he said. And then his clarification. Sure, well i think talking about how rape is an act of war against a woman. And i think this is a very difficult issue to talk about in our 30 second sound bite culture. We cannot begin to talk about the devastation that rape causes on a woman. And her family. But i think we need to commend mr. Murdock for his statements because if you heard what he said. He said that life is a gift from god. And i couldnt agree with him more. I have a friend rebecca who was attempted to abort her twice and she actually survived. Her father, her birth father is a rapist. But that does not make rebecca any less of a person. Any less of a human being than me. I want to talk about the Political Climate when we talk about these issues and how do comments like murdocks and akens play a role in the president ial race. Is it fair to paint other candidates with a broad brush because somebody in that same Political Party happened to have other views. Its not because theyre members of the same Political Party. These arent the comments of a couple random candidates. These interest beliefs of mitt romney and paul ryan and we know that not only as you mentioned failed to re send his endorsement of murdock and continues to be appear in an add endorsing him on television. He did come out and disagree with him. And say he didnt agree with those comments. Mitt romney has been distancing himself from a lot of his positions when they turn out to be unpopular per the role hes running for. But actions speak louder than words and by choosing a running mate in paul ryan that believes that women shouldnt have access to pregnancy termination in the case of rape has a lot more to say. The economy is the issue number one at least it seem for most of america and its been an issue for a while these days but womens issues are getting a lot of attention. Why do you think now . I think its interesting. We have 20 Million People unemployed. Bread and milk is at an all time high. The president s Campaign Running to these extreme cases trying to scare women. And i find its pretty booted for them. President obama is an extremist on abortion. We did a pole this sum ore of 18 to 24yearolds the most liberal voting block in our society. Only nine percent of 18 and 24 yearolds in america agree with president obama and a Democratic National agree with abortion on demand and all nine months funded by u. S. Taxpayers. I think women and men both want to focus on the economy. But theyre getting forced to focus on these issues because these extreme beliefs are coming out. And contraception is related to the economic issues. Over a womans lifetime shell spend about 18,000 paying for contraception and that is a lot of money. President of the dc chapter of now and Kristen Hawkins executive director of students life for america. Thank you ladies for coming in. A big issue facing Maryland Voters. Same sex marriage.
