one of my favorites guests is back. i m single, yes. if men are watching this yeah, i m available. you know, just call me maybe. funny, feisty as ever, with a new look for her talk show. this is piers morgan tonight. good evening. the big story, the great debate. in just five days the event that could change the race for the white house permanently. the clock is ticking and the candidates know it. they meet face-to-face on wednesday. this weekend, both will be locked behind closed doors in practice sparring sessions. romney has listed senator rob portman to prep him while obama is working with senator john kerry. latest polls covered with that 47% remark hurting romney. in the battleground state of pennsylvania today. make sure america leads in our homes, in our economy and in our military. i need something from you. that s my commitment to you. i need you to go out and find somebody who voted for barack obama and get him to vote for me. he s down but no
just by the fact that they re standing on the stage with the president. that elevates them, and they normally come into these things as underdogs. we re coming into this debate very realistic. mitt romney is likely to win if he plays his cards right. making those comments on piers morgan. what s the idea, try to bring down your candidate, lower the bar, so if your candidate does better, it s considered a big victory. how much are americans paying attention to that? what they want to hear is what they ll do to make the country better. thanks so much, paul. the first presidential debate starting wednesday night, october 3rd. watch it live at 7:00 eastern time right here on cnn and on cnn.com. the first vice presidential debate is a week later on october 11th. and today vice president joe biden campaigned for a second straight day in the battleground state of florida. in ft. myers today, he blasted mitt romney and paul ryan for their medicare reform plan, claiming it will
somebody who voted for barack obama and get him to vote for me. he s down but not out. can he turn it around with an october surprise? let s welcome stephanie cutter. it s going reasonably well for you guys. it s been a good couple weeks, really since the conventions. you ve got a bit of momentum but i guess you re not taking this too complacently. no, absolutely not, piers. you know, debates can be a pivotal moment in campaigns. i remember eight years ago when john kerry was getting ready to debate george bush, we were eight points down. coming out of that first debate we were tied with george bush. so there is an opportunity for mitt romney if he takes advantage of it next wednesday night, to turn the momentum around. he not only has to win this debate but has to change the dynamics in this race. we know he s going to show up prepared, disciplined and aggressive, even tim pawlenty said that he s as good as it gets when it comes to debating. but the question is whether o
this is really the fullest account aing yet on behalf of the community which rarely venchers to the public domain to issue what they knew. the intelligence community says this was a deliberate and terrorized result sympathetic to al qaeda. that comes from se s from shawn. the reason we re seeing something like this two plus weeks after the attack, there is growing frustration within the inteigence community itself how information is being used. that initial assessment being this was a protest, a spontaneous attack that grew out of a protest in response to the anti-muslim films. it appears that as more information came in, that picture changed. the story from administration officials didn t change so dramatically and i think that really shows us that there are still unanswered questions. we don t have a direct timeline on when administration officials knew this was a terrorist attack and when they came out and set it. still, this is really unbelievable statement put out by t
