there s something different, though, between this round of debates and what he had with shannon in 2002. in 02, shannon sought out much more the aggressor and played rope a dope and he came back hard at the end. obama has started out weak and romney has started out the aggressor. i m curious if you think that plays to obama s advantage a little bit, since romney won t be coming off the mat? shannon, the president sort of not is not playing possum up on the ropes how does that affect the dynamic had he is not the initial aggressor? i think if he has a pulse it s going to be an improvement. that s the thing. he has no place else to go but up. the fact is i think it s going to be difficult because, you know, unlike i thought martha raddtz did a terrific job moderating the last debate but here and correct me if i m wrong i m not sure if they have the follow-up and i think the one on one exchanges depending
reality of what that s going to mean for people. you want to, you know, go invade iran, okay. are we all ready to see more caskets coming into dover, delaware? are we really ready to send men and women in uniform to another front in the war? you re going to make all of these cuts and how is that going to add up? it s not going to add up. here are the places where those cuts are going to have to come from. i think bringing it back to real terms, because, again, i think romney won t have the answer essentially. david is right. he has 9 top line i don t agree with you. romney s answer is very clear, ask me on the 7th of november. his answer is always no, it s not. exactly. because i said to. karen, david, and richard, thank you both. thank you all. next, paul ryan can t stand the heat and it may only get worse. stay with us. would you share your food with someone? yes. but that would create a culture of dependency. if they don t have food, i ll give it to them.
lehrer. even if romney won t answer for his ruling means voters will be asked r an i. but they can go ahead and vote them, it needs to be spelled out without one. thruling only covers thi loud and clear to the american people who have been lied to. election. the decision is bad news for mitt romney has not been repuicanin pennsylvani straight with americans on where r thearlie year one of the he stands and where he wants to party leaders boasted the law take the country and there s no would help mitt romney win the better platform than for the election. president to take him to the house. voter i.d., whi is gog to how can you expect him to be allow mitt romney to win the straight with you as president state of pennsylvania, done. pennsylvania is just one of when he can t even run his own campaign? 41 stateto pass rerictive get your cell phones out. tonight s question, will mitt romney continue his campaign of lies at tomorrow s debate? new voting laws since president obama won in 2

even though he was caught on tape saying he can never convince 47% of americans to take responsibility for themselves. this is why mitt romney can t be let off the hook in the debate tomorrow night. but it s hard to press him on these issues when he doesn t even answer the questions. here it is. what is the biggest misconception about you in the public debate right now? we ll have to create more jobs, have less debt and shrink the size of government. misconceptions about you? you get to ask the questions you want and i get to give the answers i want. i hope there s a moment like that tomorrow night. not going to be easy for jim lehrer. even if romney won t answer for them, it needs to be spelled out loud and clear to the american people who have been lied to. mitt romney has not been straight with americans on where he stands and where he wants to take the country and there s no better platform than for the president to take him to the
