to run for president. or hung out with bill clinton at cgi. you chose bill clinton, why? because of the topic. the topic was he wanted to talk about leadership in a crisis after sandy and i thought this is not going to help you with the base. come on, man. again. you know, it s kind of unusual for me but i think my job is to do my job. really? and i think share some of the lessons we learned from sandy and still learning was a good thing to do. president clinton s always been very cordial and nice to me and when he called and asked for me to be there, i said yes. you acknowledge you were taking a risk being with him, saying that after he sat next to you at a basketball game, he was thinking, this guy s political career is over. well, i think that s the overdramatizing the president for my benefit but the fact is we ve always gotten along very well and when he called and told me this is what he wanted to talk about, i thought it was a great thing for me to do.
he these polls, of course, are measuring the national averages so they are a better indicator of how the popular vote may go. to look at the electoral college which is all that matters now you have to look at the state by state polls and many of those are a dead heat and that is really what matters and that is where you have romney pulling ahead. that is where you have a risk being taken in pennsylvania an expansion of the battleground that probably truthfully should have been made a month ago when the bailey s bicker poll showed that the economic data was se in states beyond the battle ground states that were being discussed by the national punditry that the romney campaign probably should have looked at that and said based on state models this map could be bigger. jennifer donahue from gettysburg college and peter from quinnipiac. like for instance the new york daily news. guess what? when have endorsed mitt romney.
if you know the top of the ticket is solid or reliable, doesn t it allow you to be a little bit more bold in picking a running mate or has the sarah palin to burned the republican establishment they don t want to go there? guest: they don t. the reason is this: mitt romney has made clear time and time again he wants to have a vice presidential nominee who could serve as president if something were to happen to mitt romney if he is elected. the fear is that rubio might not, himself, yet be ready to be president. i point out to this marco rubio has national ambitions and actually he may have ultimately at the end of the day, a better brand than mitt romney does. and that also concerns mitt romney that rubio is so am beneficiaries and will probably launch a presidential campaign of his own. neil: that could be right but i think there is a risk

of some sectors that are struggling and primed for a rally at some point. the question is, how soon? let s get to a little more of the list. home builders. again, home billing stocks have plummeted. they fell another 25% since may, but analysts are saying now that the long-term outlook is actually solid, the risk being, of course, no one can be sure when construction and proofs will start going up again. here s another one that s interesting. i think we have video of european exports. they are talk about how you should invest in european exports. you and i have talked about the struggles in europe. i reported on what s going on in greece, the debt crisis. they are saying even with the debt worries, europe still makes up 25% of global stocks, and you can avoid some of the debt issues by focusing on the big exporters there that benefit from a weaker euro-. yours, the risk is there. look to germany. if you want evidence, look to
