means the candidates wives are more important than ever. reporter: they re the not-so-secret weapons of this election. they re wives, moms, and vote getters. i ll admit i am a little biased because i think our president is awesome. when michelle obama takes center stage she will have a huge task to fulfill to convince america the country is better off because of her man. she is one of the biggest assets to her husband s campaign. they re to pique the interest of those supporters who might be wavering. barack is so, the level-headedness that you see is is real. reporter: and then there is ann romney. i love you, women! reporter: from the spotlight in tampa last week she went straight for that female vote. painting a primetime picture of her husband as a lovable, likable guy. not just that, she defended her husband against those attacks on his record at bain capital. i can tell you mitt romney was not handed success. he built it!
glor ya, tell us what your sources are saying? both john king and i have been talking to sources as well as peter hamby. none of our sources are steering us away from paul ryan. some of them are steering us towards paul ryan. in fact, a few of them are. and i think this shows us a calculation that mitt romney is tending to make the fiscal future of the country and the budget issue a real center piece of the campaign. i think what s interesting to me, you were talking to john a few minutes ago about joe biden and how joe biden would have a debate with paul ryan. it s interesting because both of these men came to congress at very young ages. ryan ran for congress when he was the age of 27 in 1998. and he asked his hen tors whether it was pass a lab test. and they said yeah, it kind of would. but he remained a kid from jamesvillee who goes home every weekend. and then some of his family was killed in a tragic, tragic crash. but they were both the sort of stars of their parties
romney after his late night hour. hypocrisy in politics, come on, al. the biggest one of all is that rush limbaugh didn t like it, i was stunned by that. what i was stunned by, and normally i don t took about this, is he brought up controlled substances. this is a man that should stay away from that subject. for mitt romney appearing on the shows, he can t slow jam, but if he gets an invitation, maybe he can demonstrate the moon walk or something. or the flip-flop. let me get to the politics of this, jonathan. romney keeps acknowledging that the president is a nice, likable guy, en while ven while he is criticizing. he is a nice guy, but spent
chief political correspondent, candy crowley. good morning, candy. there s another big debate tomorrow night. this won t be like the others. no herman cain this time and newt gingrich is the guy to beat. well, yes. there is actually a lot at play in this debate which probably will make it the most high decibel debate that we ve seen. number one, the calendar s kind of closing in on him. those caucuses are less than a month away. number two, the conventional political wisdom always has been there are three tickets out of iowa. three people survive. not only do you have mitt romney who needs to go after newt gingrich and start to drive down some of those poll numbers, you have everybody else on that stage that wants a ticket out of iowa so they go after newt gingrich as well and probably a little bit of romney. so you have the makings of both the calendar and the politics of it at this point. this sort of promises to be a lively affair. of course it will. we re talking no
