obama is the winner, that tally sounds about right. but carl rove sees it the opposite way. mr. rove will be here in a moment. of course dick morris continues to maintain that romney will win big. carrying pennsylvania and ohio, which would assure a romney victory. both morris and sabato will be on this program wednesday. again, i cannot make a prediction tonight. it pains pee. i don t like it. but i have to be honest. i can t do it. because even at this late date, some americans could still vote either way. both candidates still have a fighting chance. and that s the memo. next on the run down. the aforementioned carl rove will tell me how tragically wrong i am or something. and then, krauthammer, hume, powers, march will all weighen in n. on the fact tour tomorrow. we ll be right back. eat good fats.
will take nevada no, no, i picked mitt romney not to get nevada. martha: with the exception of nevada. yeah. martha: show me the pocket that you believe he wins in mitt romney that people are not expecting that got you to this number. i think if you look at ohio, which everybody has identified as a key target state, the polls have been running just about even in ohio, most of them. those that show obama with a bigger lead also have an election threat that looks more democratic than the 2008 election threat in ohio. i think that is unlikely. early release of the early voting total number of voters shows that they are down 2% in counties that obama that john kerry carried. they are up 14% in counties carried by george w. bush and john mccain. i think the enthusiasm factor likely to produce a narrow romney victory. in pennsylvania which has only been a target state really the last two weeks, western and
political class of america is looking at the polls and looking at the storm coverage, mitt romney is very quietly stealing in and rising and cementing something that i think we ll see tomorrow night which is a romney victory. i think that is probably coming. you sort of feel it and watch his rallies . you had them all next - last night. something is going on out there. i agree. there is something that is not picked up and you are not on the romney bandwagon to begin with. you would not recognize masapeqee. brooklyn born massachusetts bred. we raised you, brooklyn had you. thank you, brian. both candidates driving home their last message in ohio. and then the video you will
with voters. i think it s going to result in a romney victory. now to vin s point, steve, in the recent post poll we did ask who do you think can better handle the economy, romney whiz a lead which he didn t have a month ago. joe biden, the president on the campaign trail saying this is a choice election, we agree with mitt romney, it s a choice between what we ve done and know he would do which is go back to the policies that don t work. is your side not selling that argument well enough at this point or what explains what romney moving upward on that economic trust argument? i think he had a good first debate and he s obviously, you know, we ve regained ground since. the speech today had no new ideas in it. didn t have any big ideas. it was a repeat of the bad ideas he s been talking about. what we know is what the real mitt romney believes what is we saw in the videotape from the fund-raiser abouts the 47%. he wants to go back to the bush era economics and, you know, barack obam
paying attention now. 59 million people watched that debate. 67 million watched the denver debate which was a clear romney victory. do you think that had he can present himself that way and not have to answer to criticism that he s moderating or changing his position or flip flopping? i think he can and he has very effectively created that arc between the first debate and the last debate. as you rightly noted, people tuned in in the first debate, 60 plus million, 59 million at the end. you have now romney having defined himself in the political psyche of the american people very powerful. i think it s been reflected in the polls. it has the obama team nervous. chicago is not happy about their standing right now, although they ll give you the bravado this is where we expect to be, we knew it would be tight. they re looking at their internal numbers, the movement towards romney and i thought chuck todd put it the best. look, the obama team has the map. they ve got you, though, that
