where is the tea party in this year's race. ladies and gentlemen, governor mike huckabee. thank you, thank you very much. what a great audience we have in the studio and welcome to huckabee for the fox news studios in new york city . biggest story in policings . first presidential debate held in denver. the universe view even amongst the staunchest obama supportirs was that mitt romney won the debate. and tingle up his leg hearing obama speak he was in such a melt down he it is tangled run the leg because he wet his pants. some of the excuses for the president not being much better than the empty chair that clint east wood revealed . al gore thought it was thaltitude of denver. i think the former vice president may have been a little high. but another ridiculous made on another net work and he with a straight face suggests that obama didn't debate well because he was black. what after geth elected as president of the united states and serving four years bark obama walked out on the stage and said i am black, i can't take on the white guy. whether in sports or music or acting some days you don't have the juice. we squeezed out what we could and i will offer my humble and accurate assessment of the efirst of all mitt romney countering what the obama came pair is saying about his tax proposal. >> i have five boys and i am used to people saying something that is not always true ask keep - and keep on repeating it and hope i believe it >> this was brilliant. first of all by envoking the story of his sons, it brought the sense of connection of mitt romney as a father and he raised kid more like us in that regard. countering the criticisms of mitt romney. that showed a connection and his boys had told him . let's say funny business like every body does to their partner, that said yeah, it must be normal in the romney house. but then the subtle was he was saying, you know, it doesn't matter if you are my son house or president. if you keep telling me something over and over, i am not so crazy as to believe it. it was a powerful moment and yet he did it in a way that everybody smile would and not even realize what a powerful hit he had . and mitt romney responded to obama's criticism that corporate tax breaks would send jobs over access. >> you get's deduction of taking plans over seas. i have been in business 25 years. i have no idea what you are talking about. maybe i need a new account abt. you get a break for shipping jobs over case is not the case. >> i have been in business 25 years and translation you haven't been. i understand what business is all about. translation you don't. i need a new accountant. translation a new president. i don't know if that was all planned or spontanous. it really connect a great moment for him. here is president obama hitting mitt romney for not giving specificings. - specifics. >> he said he's going to replace dodd-frank wall street reform and we know which onings. he won't tell us . he said he will replace obama care and assure all of the good thippings that are in there and you don't have to worry . at some point the american people have to ask themselves is the reason governor romney is keeping all of these plans to replace secret because they are too good? >> i got to say that was a great line by president obama and it was 10 past the hour in the second hour of the debate and i am remembering as i kept a flow sheet and saying this is the first really good moment that i thought that the president had had all night and i marked it and this is the first time he left a mark on mitt romney. it was not a knock down. but it was a moment when he was able to say, something that showed he was actually in denver for the debate. because up until that moment, i am not if he was precelebrating his anniversary, i don't know. he had not tuned in to the same debate that 67 million people tuned into . and here is president obama touting what he has done for education. >> we have got programs called race to the top promped reforms in 46 states and raising standarped proving how we train teachers and now i want to hire 100,000 new math and science teacher and create more spots in the community colleges so people can get trained and i want to make sure and keep tuitition low for our young people. >> and i want to make sure everybody's christmas stocking is fill would with everything they wanted. one little problem about what he's saying not been race to the top it is not a bad program and i commend arnie duncan for rewarding poem who do well. that is different than it is economy where we punish people for doing well. i wish the president's economic policies are based on that premise and clearly they are not he said we need a 100,000 new teacher classroom is it the responsibility of the federal government to hire teacher a local school board? your schools are your responsibility in your community and state. there is nothing in the federal constitution that said the federal government ought to hire teachers for you. if you think you need more teachers hire them in your local level and let your school board decide who they are and what they teach. it was not just what the cand date said that made the difference body language that spoke volumes. you can see the difference. mitt romney spoke to the president and looked at him. unfortunately, the president never looked back and as you can see through most of the debate people who watched it were stun tod see the president seemingly unable and unwilling tine look at his opponent mitt romney. he looked down and around. i think he was looking for the exit. i am pretty sure that is what he was looking at and is there a trap door somewhere down there? he could have used it and anyway quite a moment. romney set the debate high. can he stay on top in the next phase off. joining me is former communication's director from michelle bachmann alec stewart and former new york mayor rudy guiliani and former speech writer for president bush michael gersin. >> thank you . you were back in the spin room. what was different in person than what we saw on tv? >> i think, i think it was a knock out punch and actually what i saw on television and what we saw live, i thought it was the same thing. i am shocked could come out with other opinion. it was a knock out. when you remove the teleprompters and a panel of liberal press that can back up the president, he's lost. the emperor has no clothes and that was apparent in the audience and in television. >> that is true . people don't realize what you have said up until now. you are not using the teleprompter and speaking from your heart. >> that's why i mess up a lot. >> that is he didn't have the basic knowledge or facts and unable to defend his record and there was a sense of him wuking in i am the leader of the free world and i don't need to waste my time here. but as a presidential cand date it is a level playing field . he and mitt romney face to face debating the issue and he y and distracted by the thoust his poll numbers dropping back stage. he clearly felt he was too to be there. and the fact he can't defend his record and mitt romney showed he is not only a good leader and executive experience and show the president he has leadership ability . but he's likeable. >> and when he's talking about the commempt the president has no passion and he doesn't understand and believe it. and they saw mitt romney for the first time. a guy who understands the economy and he looked presidential and people saw for the first time not through the lens of the negative attack machine. but he is ready to lead our country. snirks michael you are a speech writer and written for the president. how does mitt romney take the moment and make sure he equals it in the next debate. expectations are sky high and low for obama. >> when you take the el a we have to take it we know what the attack will look likes. he will say romney is lying to cover a radical agenda romney will have to reply patiently and turn it to a more ark gressive side against obama's record and values and the man who showed nup denver can do thamp president obama will be better in the next debate. he can hardly be worse. i think that is kind much a -- kind of a given. >> like the mets are going to have a better season next year. >> but the manner he fail would and passive dictates that he will have to aggressive and that presents a challenge he is on the offensive he seems to be petulant and critize mocks. that doesn't come across well on television. it is possible that he will overshaft and overreact in this case and do something that is destructive. >> you have been back stage with me and michelle bachmann and one of these days, you will be with a winner . >> we'll be with you. >> thank you . but seriously you have been back stage with great moments and with the cand dates have back moments. what is it like when obama walks off the stage and handlers are trying to be polite and nothing nice to say. >> obviously the mere fact they didn't rush him to the spin room and they were back stage figuring out what to say in terps of spinning it and showing romney was lying the problem is, he surrounds himself with yes people and go along with what he said and not people who tells him what he need toz hear and thisthis is what you have to say to defend your record and show people you have a better plan for the future. and what they do have, they spent the whole time showing that romney was fact factually incorrect and that is not true. and before the debate they should have said this is what you need to say. arm chair quarterback is it a mistake. they should have had him prepared. >> this thursday joe biden and paul ryan will square off. i will ask the panel what they are looking for. we'll be right back. . i would love to hear fru. new pink lemonade 5-hour energy? 5-hour energy supports the avon foundation for women breast cancer crusade. so i can get the energized feeling i need and support a great cause? i'm sold. pink lemonade 5-hour energy? yeah and a portion of every sale goes to the avon foundation for women breast cancer crusade. i'm sold. new pink lemonade 5-hour energy. get the alert, energized feeling you need and support breast cancer research and access to care. like in a special ops mission? you'd spot movement, gather intelligence with minimal collateral damage. but rather than neutralizing enemies in their sleep, yoargeting stocks to trade. well, that's what trade architect's heat maps do. they make you a trading assassin. trade architect. td ameritrade's empowering web-based trading platform. trade commission-free for 60 days, and we'll throw in up to $600 when you open an account. >> we are back with our panel. alice and michael. talk being the debate this week, i think it will be a lot of fun to watch but i think people undersell joe biden. he connects people. i will get what you think. michael, preview what you expect on the joe biden/paul ryan debate. >> i think biden will be aggressive to make up with the president's performance. that is not easy . he is not a subtle man he never uses a hammer when a sledge hammer is available and i don't know how that plays against a guy that is a nice guy that looks like he is a 14 year old boy scout. we'll see. i agree with you on biden. this is it a man who ran for president and knows how to debate and hoe has a rare ability in politicings. he is human in public and a deeply likeable man and i would not underestimate that importance on television . >> he is like the guy you would sit around and watch tv with. what are you thinking we will see thursday in >> i think a contest between the wonk and the whacko. >> could you be more subtle. >> the vice president can't go through a day without putting the foot in mouth and contrast is clear. paul ryan is articulate and smart guy that exsudes youth and has a command of the facts and knows the budget and understands the economy and i think he is going to do extremely well and a repeat of the presidential debate. >> alice, do you think that paul ryan can be too wonkish. he can go deep in the weed a deblate is it not where you want to lull people into a deep thoughtful discussion; is that a danger for paul ryan. >> i think the romney team is smart and understand what his strengths are and you know very, very few weaknesses if there are any. he is a book worm and knows the numbers. but so much attention is it paid to biden's gaffe. middle class is buried and we will raise taxings and i agree we can't underestimate he is strong and can relate to the people and that will resonate with the audience and he will engage in a good debate. ryan knows he is a book worm and mart and understands he has to be strong and personalable and that's what romney did factual but personable and that's the way ryan will approach it >> i will give each much you 30 seconds and i would give you more if i had it. michael, start wu. if there is one big issue we will see out of the vice presidential debate that could be an important issue pick the issue and cand date and who has the advantage. >> i think we might see foreign policy. and libya is a clear vulner for the president and administration did not protect our people and they try to spin their way out of failure. you can see some of that. romney has a speech on monday on foreign policy and i think rhine roin will follow up. >> jake? >> i think it is libya and congressional hearings coming out next week and the governor will speak on monday. there is it a lot of foreign policy and a lot of things that are coming out between now and the debate on libya and the cover yup what is going on >> alice? >> i agree economy is ryan's strength and foreign policy. it is critical he's able to point out the obama administration believed that strength is a vulnerability as opposed to a weakness. he need toz point that out and we can succeed with strength and everything that happened with libya and inability to come to the truth of it was a terror attack. ryan needs to highlight that and that will resonate with the people. >> we'll an analyze it income week. nit picking but we analyze it i think paul ryan will have a great night. but i think we underestimate joe bide by. the pressure is on him to clean up the strike out in denver joe bidens had to sal vage the team. i think he will surprise people and be better than republicans are prepared for. we'll see and we'll be honest and tell you what happens next week. >> thank you very much. alice and jake to have you here. >> president's campaign and trying to make up by the debate debacle by fighting back with attack ads. frank will tell us when we >> today the president has for his perfomance in the debate most for his failure mention mitt romney's 47 percent comment caught on tape. they said they have addressed that on political ads. will that work with voters. joining us is frank lunwherethank you for joining us. >> thank you. i want to introduce the romney ad. viewers at home. the higher you see the red line more persuasive that is among weak republicans higher green is democrats. if it is above 50 it is good and look at the mitt romney ad first. >> too many americans are struggling to find work in the. too many are work living pay check to pay check and get falling incomes. and more are living in pov are they when period period are in office. and we care about poor and middle class families. we'll shouldn't major compassion by how many are on welfare but how many are getting off weal fair and getting a well paying job. >> how did it resonate. >> in the key he brought gemrepublicans and democrats and talking about the importance of yobs you notice that the weak republican line, it goes beyond the screen theco with democrats, jobs. which cand date has a better policy on jobs and every time mitt romney talks about it in the debate or adyou saw the democrat line rose . for mitt romney, the next 30 days has to be that. and barak obama four year legacy is failure on crating jobs and why governor romney's approach is more aprorbable. >> and the obama people came back with a response. look at it and tell us what you found. >> too many americans are struggling to find work in today's economy. i like to fire people. too many of those working are living pay check to pay check. >> 10,000 bucks in president obama and i both care about poor and middle class. i am not concerned about the poor. >> my policy will make thippings better for them. >> it is not to worry about those emp they should take responsibility. i am mitt romney and i approved this message. >> and frank, tell us what that tells us. >> it tells us negative ad does work. they are using romney's actul word said against him they show the contrast. romney's assertion and response and it is measured. there is no announcer and no angering music behind the voices it is it a very effective adthat fren percent, that number is it the reason why romney's numbers fell two or four poigns before the first debate. we tested over 1500 ads in the election cycle that is one of the most affective negative ads so far. >> we have limited time. cut to the virginia senate race. they are intense and could impact the presidential. tim kane and george alen. look at a tim kane. >> i don't agree with any president all of the time. i know when our nation succeeds our state succeeds. and with the bush i worked. and obama stopping an aircraft carriier from moving out of virginia. i am tim cane. as your senator i will partner with who ever is president of the united states to do what is write for virginia. >> i love more partners and fewer partisans. how did that rate? >> it is one of the most affective senate ads. he's appeal toth center and i recognize those in your audience and at home you want to see more red meat. but you have to capture the people in the center and that does just that. >> look at george alen. very emotional and powerful. >> the hum dee jason was driving in drove over a road side bomb. jason and other marines were kill would. following jason's death we received outpouring of love and support. one of the letters we received was from george alen. it was a hand writ know note parent to parent. i was able to see the speech. i took jason's dog tags and handed them to him. he still has those dog tags to to this i am george alen. >> that gets to me and i don'tine live in virginia. how did the voters viewed it >> it was so emotional that two women in our session that watched that and it brought them to tears and makes me mouv. the campaign is going to be by that emotional kind of determination . and very, very fascinating and in the perspective and positivads seem to be workingively in the virginia senaterate and maybe that is it a lesson to a lot of folks. always a pleasure. well, it is it a while since vice president biden put his foot in his mouth but joe is it at it again the votes of the week.
