0 get a thermometer, take your temperature because you probably got romnesia. alex, as we said this monday debate is going to be all about foreign policy, at least ostensibly. either one of these candidates might try to current attention back to the economy. we obviously have one more jobs report coming out on the friday before the tuesday, november 6 of the election. but as far as foreign policy is concerned, i think it s safe to say we re going to hear mitt romney take another run at libya and the attack of benghazi. there have been a number of developments since their last clash on this issue which most people believe mitt romney came out on the short end. you can expect them to take another whack on that and hit the president on his china policy. ohio is the big state here one in play heavily industrialized state. that s why you ve heard mitt romney talk about fair trade practices and promising to get tough on china. mitt romney behind in ohio by about six points according to o
comment here that it can be difficult as a debater in this forum and this format to, if you will, run over the moderator if she is a woman. and that it would be not seen as being very savory. well, yes. it looked like they were trying to roll her, but they didn t. she stood her ground and she made her point. i do want to say that there was a loser in this debate and nobody s talked about that. but i think the american people, the audience were the losers. they only got to ask 11 questions. most of the by play and the content of the debate was the two men arguing, and candy trying to keep control. so i think there wasn t enough questioning from the audience that had prepared for this debate. carole simpson, thank you so much for your time this morning. thank you. and we ll be right back. ble till you finish your vegetables.
carole simpson. last time i was at a gas station was about.i would say. two months ago. i very rarely put gas in my chevy volt. i go to the gas station such a small amount that i forget how to put gas in my car.

0 that was a statement. mitt romney showed his cheek and the president took that opening to wind up with the percentage line. i care about 100% of the american people. when he said behind closed doors that 47% of the country consider themselves victims who refuse personal responsibility, think about who he was talking about. he seemed to strike all the right notes, but this morning s question remains did he stop the swing state hemorrhaging from his first epic lackluster performance? one, you don t run over a female moderator. you just don t. secondly, you don t run over the president of the united states whether that president s a republican or whether that president is a democrat. in denver, mitt romney had a plan, a strategy, he executed. president obama didn t. in this debate president obama had a strategy. you could see all throughout the debate. president obama i thought strategically had a good debate. at the top of the hour we re also watching this. any minute t
