they re heavily invested in the cardinals success. good to see you, chris cillizza. good, nats. tamron hall is up next. it s torture for a rangers fan to listen to this. that s why that s not why we did it. andrea mitchell, good thing i love you. in our next hour love you, too. vice president joe biden is in wisconsin, home turf, do i have to tell you, of congressman paul ryan. fewer than 24 hours after the so-called joe show, aka, the vice presidential debate ended. who is getting the better reviews on substance? we ll get reaction from politico s rachel smolkin, mr. collegio, mr. smerconish and mr. boykin.
joined by sam stein, matt, and nia malika henderson and mr. sunday morning hugo lindhgren. find us at facebook.com/now with alex. andrea mitchell reports is next. good afternoon to you, andrea. i love your nat attitude. thanks. we re going to do it. coming up what did the administration know and when did they know it? the attack in benghazi playing center stage in danville and we hear from secretary of state hillary clinton. we ll hear from the campaigns, romney senior adviser tim talon, debbie wasserman schultz and david gregory, chris cizilla and our all star panel. my conversation with actor director ben affleck about argo next on andrea mitchell reports.
what s going to happen in the next 24, chris cillizza is back with us. come on. we re talking about baseball. we re talking about the baltimore/yankee game at 5:07 and that the main show that people really care about, nationals/cardinals, i will say i m rooting heavily for the nationals. my wife was born and raised in st. louis. i just zone the ask her. we love your wife for that. we have our thing here. yes. it s all about natitude. gio gonzalez is pitching. i hope he does better than the seven walks the other night. i saw it in danville, kentucky, went nuts and realized i was at an anheuser-busch venue and that s not such a good thing.
