games. bama two touchdown favorite over the huskies. nick saban isn t looking past the pac 12 champs. well, i think that this is by far the best all around team we ve played all year long. they score 44 1/2 points on offense. they have a good quarterback, they have good receivers. they have lots of speed. they make a lot of explosive plays. all right. the other playoff game, number two clemson against third ranked ohio state in the fiesta bowl. this is one of the most anticipated bowl games. clemson with their explosive offense. they ll face ohio state s ferocious defense. both sides hungry for a shot to play for the national title. it s a bowl game, so you want to have fun. at the same time it s a business trip. you want to get yourself to the national championship. whenever it gets to that crunch time, you know, the details and
34 minutes, and you just keep repeating those two things, where the heck is the other 44 1/2 minutes? i m asking you to cover everything he says. do you ask donald trump that? do you ask donald trump to say you know all words are not equal. when some are very inflammatory and grab attention and that is coming from the mouth of donald trump himself. are you asking him that? are you you know what? i also know there is a policy team upstairs that works their tails off to get it right on policy because they know that that s what americans want to hear. they must be reading the cnn polls after all that say that s what americans want to hear. if you want to cover it differently, that is your prerogative. i am merely making the case to you that, if he spoke for 45 minutes in two separate times today and you re covering things that he said for a total of 45 seconds or let s say four or five minutes. in all fairness. i ll tell you. you know this. i want the viewers to know this. wha
that s an average, though. while governor romney is at 44 1/2%. heather: the split is much smaller in the daily rasmussen tracking poll. president obama leading romney by two points. 46 to 44%. that is within the poll s margin of error. what else are these polls telling us this week? joining us now is scott rasmussen, author of the peel s money. how are you doing? doing great. it s a fascinating time of year. a week ago at this time, we said governor romney was up two points. now it s president obama. no matter how you look at it, no matter how many times i talk to you about it on saturday, the race is very close and it won t be for another month or two if we see it will stay that close til election day. gregg: now look, a lot has been said over the course of the last week about both congressman ryan, who is the vp on the gop side and joe biden who commit add couple of gaffes.
greenville have been coming to the levy, looking at the river which is at the highest level it s been since the great flood of 1927. during that flood, the levy system was breached, causing severe flooding throughout much of the city of greenville. officials believe it s going to be different this time around. right now we re walking up one of the levees that protects this city from the flood waters of the mississippi river. it s been strengthened over the years, and local officials believe that it is going to continue to hold. as you can see, it s doing a good job now, because on the opposite side of this levy from the river, you can see it s business as usual, the streets are dry, people going about their business, even though this area is below the current level of the mississippi river which is expected to crest somewhere in the neighborhood of 64 or 44 1/2 feet sometime tomorrow. jon, back to you. jon: good to be on the dry side of that levy. that s an understatement.
