megyn: thank you both so much. also on the debate. the president s reelection team held a conference call with reports. before they were done some members of the media were offering a list of helpful tips on how he could improve his performance. dana perino is here on that. this is awesome! folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico sure are happy. i d say happier than a slinky on an escalator. get happy. get geico.
