wealthiest americans, two plus two equals five. that s why they can t dot math. there s absolutely no way for this thing to add up. i think when he s pressed, and he will be by someone like jim lehr, he ll be pressed by specifics. that s when the rubber will meet the road for mitt romney. if he doesn t have the numbers to back him up, he ll have a very big challenge. he ll be pressed by lehr but another guy there named barack obama pressing too many. we ll be watching. tad devine and wes moore, thank you for your time. coming up, paul ryan has his own secret tape, claiming that 30% of americans want their welfare stake. that explosive video is coming up. it only adds to mitt romney s 47% problem in tomorrow night s debate. plus, republicans used to have no problem with far right agenda people like todd akin. now they re trying to hide who
0 as temporary as it is because it only impacts now, we still have the long run, it s important because it gives a court confirming the language that counters the opponents. let me show you your own governor, tom corbett, defending the voter i.d. law back in march when many of us were picking up momentum on this issue. watch this. contrary to some claims, this bill does not interfere with anyone s legal right to vote. it prevents people from cheating in our elections. this is a law of prevention. it is to prevent voter fraud. so, when the courts came back today, it absolutely goes on the other side of that because they couldn t establish how they were going to make this fair for everyone and people could get their i.d. in time to vote. al sharpton, you know when people are making these allegations, they re guilty themselves. when we see voter fraud, we see it play out now. it s a republican operation being investigated and brought before the bar of justice for this activity in fl

the country he says can t be counted on to meet its responsibility. it s that part of the country that romney has dismissed as free-loaders, moochers, takers. people, especially veteran families, people retired on social security, regular americans, that is, don t like being dismissed that way, injury added by insult. i m joined by chuck todd and howard fineman with the huffington post. the latest poll shows among likely voters the president leads 49% to 46% for romney. that s down net two points from two weeks ago when the president was up by five. to what to you attribute the movement, chuck todd? well, first of all, the more important number has always been the president sitting at 49% or 50%. i would go through his job approval rating at 49%, his ballot test at 49%, those converge, and that s what matters and 49% puts you in the, quote, re-elect zone. what s affecting romney, this is something we ve been watching all year long. there is an enthusiasm gap among core re
