is the daily rundown, i m luke russert in for chuck todd. president obama wrapped up a meeting with leaders by warning the market should not expect europe to solve its problems overnight. so there are going to be a range of steps they can take. none of them are going to be a silver bullet that solves this thing entirely over the next week or two weeks or two months. the question is, will a detailed plan to address europe s economic crisis come soon enough for the president who acknowledged last night his fate could be decided in the eurozone. if you fewer folks are buyin stuff in paris or berlin, that means we re selling less stuff made in pittsburgh or cleveland. all these issues, economic issues, will potentially have some impact on the election. but that s not my biggest concern right now. still, the obama campaign is out with two new negative ads targeting romney s economic record as governor of massachusetts. take a look. i m going to reduce taxes. i m goin

according to accounts by the egyptian media and by the muslim broth brotherhood s own campaign. the muslim brotherhood declared its own victory and said that it won the presidency with 52% of the votes. now today, the campaign of president mubarak s former prime minister made an announcement and said no, shafiq won the vote. so a tense standoff is under way. the official results will be announced on thursday but there is now the potential for violence, potential for clashes because expectations are being built so high. the muslim brotherhood candidate is convinced it won. shafiq and his supporters coming out today saying their side won. if you look right now how this is shaping up, tahrir square is once again filling up with thousands of people. these are muslim brotherhood supporters. they are staging a show of
