and monday. and you can t leave anything to chance. that s win of the things that s driving so many of these campaigns to pick up and go to minnesota or shift an event to wisconsin at the last minute. because they don t want to leave anything to chance. again, it is a mobilization game right now. and you have to basically make sure that you re putting every last ounce of effort you have in the campaign into getting people out to vote. isn t it sort of a mind game in a way? i remember cheney went to hawaii in the final days of the i remember when the obama campaign went with radio ads in minnesota, which was essentially to draw our resources and time there. that s something too that those type of mind games i think it s all of the three dimensional game of chess in the last 72 hours. this is a trump ad that is now out and tapper had on al franken responding, his own perception of this trump ad. here you go.
overcome. i feel safe. i feel good about it. the other thing is he has a ton of money. he can use that for the mobilization game. yes the tea partiers are fired up. the numbers of democrats registered in new jersey proceed away republicans. cory booker, now the election has his attention, he can turn to it. throw money to getting to the poll on the wednesday of the election. the interesting dynamic, both of them are mayors in new jersey. right? for some reason, cory booker, he s on morning joe all the time. he s a political intricate he feels like a part of the walk establishment already which has enabled steve lonegan to run as the typical outsider tea partier against this guy that wants to have cocktail parties and be by the political you can be born in texas but be in new jersey. i have seen a number of, this has happened a number of times in joouj new jersey the republican candidate will get within striking distance.
to immigration. but true to his flip-flopper nature, he s probably going to soften more. between now and election day, 50,000 latino americans are reportedly due to turn 18 and some project that 12.2 million latino voters will be turning out in the fall, in november, a 26% jump from what we saw in 08. with a record number of deportations u under the president s watch, no comprehensive immigration reform, are hispanic voters feeling buyers remorse on that front? they have forgiven but they ve not forgotten. the president has put up promises he will deal with it in his second term. what s really going on here is it s a mobilization game. latinos know they cannot fit in with romney so they re going to go with president obama. but president obama needs to translate that support, that 70-plus support we were just talking about in going to the polls. and second he has to steer away from immigration.
that to me, says, yeah, it s a close race. obviously, mitt romney can win. that s significant. if obama going back now four or five months has been leading several points every day in a polling average, this guy has been winning the race all aalong. it is significant, and you have to watch the tracking figures. you you also have to watch the jobs reports and the economic news, and then you have to watch how mitt romney positioning himself. we saw on his first major post convention interview, he acknowledged there are parts of obama care he would keep. this was received by a lot of folks and interpreted as tacking towards the center. the convention was the last sort of partisan hurdle where he had to appeal to the republican base which he had no stuch trouble with during the primaries. now it will be interesting. is he going to come back to the center to try to appeal to these undecided voters. there s a very narrow swath of undecided voters, however, so it s hard for both candidates
