out of your grasp? he will go that far. he goes as far as trump. it says something about the candidates and the campaigns that the president has these two great americans out with him and mitt romney he needs them. he needs them because he s losing. i m waiting to see if mitt let s go with the numbers. you got that shot in there. i m open to any possibility when it comes to elections, i d rather pick them right i still like my guys to win. the poll takers have started to change their tune. nate silver wrote a piece, headlines in polls as romney s momentum seems to have stopped. he s got the odds of president obama s re-election at 71%, by the way, nate silver. the huffington post, their pollster page, has a story that s called presidential polls counter romney s surge myth. if you look at the pollster trend, shows the presidential race since august, you can see the president really started gaining ground in september, that was after the conventions,
14th amendment rights, including the right to property, to a fertilized human egg. who cares about the woman. 12 days to go and none of the right wing men are getting off. but the big question is how many women want to stay aboard this clown car for the next four or years and how funny will it be when these characters are actually in charge? our guests are alex wagner, star of msnbc s now each day at noon eastern, and terry o neill, president of the national organization for women. thank you for joining us. i want to go through some things to set this up. let s listen to the president. i don t know how these guys come up with these ideas. let me make a very simple proposition. rape is rape. it is a crime. the second thing that s underscored, though, is this is exactly why you don t want a bunch of politicians, mostly male, making decisions about women s health care decisions. well, that went over pretty well out there. that s a nonpartisan crowd generally. the president
people have already voted and that includes the president who cast his own ballot today in chicago. we ll have much more on the early voting later on in the show. but we start with tonight s lead. mitt romney s mourdock mess. senate candidate richard mourdock s god intended rape comments are now threatening to undermine mitt romney s careful effort to appeal to voters as moderate mitt. desperate to hide the extreme republican positions on women s health, romney is just wishing and hoping this will all go away. but someone forgot to tell the press corps this morning in ohio. governor, do you wish senator mourdock would pull that ad? thank you. have a good day. you, too. that s me? have a great day. thank you. have a good day. but please don t ask be about god intending rape anymore. this is awkward for mitt romney after all at this hour romney s ad endorsing mourdock is still running in indiana and the campaign has no plans to pull support. and while governor romne
along comes another saying something about god s will and we have to incarcerate a woman who doesn t want to have a child that s the result of a rape. well, yes, we re back in the clown car with lots more guys wearing the crazy hats and shaking their noisemakers. thought you had seen the last of rick santorum and the rest of those characters from the primaries? not so. we have paul ryan and his personhood amendment aboard. a republican platform giving 14th amendment rights, including the right to property, to a fertilized human egg. who cares about the woman. nine days to go and none of the right wing men are getting off. but the big question is how many women want to stay aboard this clown car for the next four or years and how funny will it be when these characters are actually in charge? our guests are alex wagner, star of msnbc s now each day at noon eastern, and terry o neill, president of the national organization for women. thank you for joining us. i want to go thro
look at that sign over there. you can t see it from here, but there s a banner i love these airplane signs, romney s gop, wrong on rape and women. terry, this i don t know where to start except i don t like comparing anything to sharia, but there s something about this theocratic notion that we re going to apply all our religious training and turn it into law and turn it into criminalization, and it s not quite like stoning, but it has that same sort of impulse, which is we re going to punish women. right. i don t think you re wrong. i think it s kind of the creeping talibanization of american policy. it is deeply, deeply dangerous for women, and i have to tell you the truth, i think mitt romney is in the thick of this very fringe but very dangerous line of thought. look, when he was in massachusetts, a woman in his own church, he tried to stop her from having an abortion. her pregnancy was threatening her health, and then she developed blood clots that were threatening her life.
