is ridiculous. why is it ridiculous? he can t win ohio and can t make up the difference in a couple of days. you don t started over. on this weekend, how do you know that romney can t win ohio. he can t win ohio because he can t close a gap in a period of time. he has got obama at 80% as of yesterday as of friday. nate sill investigator and alan colmes are trying to make a game that obama. real clear politics. they lean right. i think obama is so confident in ohio, one has to ask a question, why are they deploying 600 lawyers in a county to make sure that the people who are voting get moved along fast
these are states the obama campaign is very very confident about. david action sell rod said he would shave his mustache off if he lost any of them. that s a staches has had for 40 years. tough hurdle for mr. romney to clear in ohio. in the last 48 hours or so there have been seven polls. all of them have suggested that mr. obama is up within the margin of error by a couple of points on mitt romney. most scenarios, romney can t win without winning here in florida as well as without ohio. so, one of the schools of thought is that the romney camp is trying to hedge against a possible defeat in ohio by expanding the battlefield or trying to into those three blue states. the obama campaign isn t buying it. as we head into the final six days it s very clear it s going to go right down to the wire with anybody s guess in some of the battleground states in the quest for 270 electoral votes. national polls s. tied as is some of those battleground states even with the margin of
colorado and virginia are the two closest. you don t see a national mandate crossing the country not right now. i am still a believer that it s still possible. i think it s still possible. what do you think do you agree with him it basically moved a big space toward romney after that first debate and that sort of came to a still, that swing, or has it in your mind? i think it is still moving in romney s direction. okay, fine. and i think one of two things are going to happen. either the obama campaign is going to sweat out an electoral vote victory where they put together a combination of the states chuck mentioned, iowa, wisconsin, and nevada, and romney can t get to 270 and they sweat out a tough race, negative race. they grind it down, and they get 275. or in the next couple days here we do see that national swing and romney does make sort of huge and sweeps it. at what point does it become a popular vote election? if romney moves. it could happen. it wou
of good civility. he didn t call him mr. obama, he called him mr. president. throughout there s a lack of deference. that s what a challenger was has to do when you re running against the president. treat him like he s not president. make him think you re as presidential as the actual president. you have been through this. anyway, thank you. i wouldn t be that kind. i think he was so lacking in deference it was db. the second debate he lacked deference. the first time he masked it. chuck todd, thank you, gentlemen, smart guys. jonathan martin. coming up, the battle for the female vote, can t help republicans when congressman joe walsh says concern for the health of the woman is just an excuse to have an abortion. kathleen turner comes here, the kathleen turner, to fight the fight for women. also it got hot in senate debates across the country. check out that bout between sherrod brown and his republican opponent josh mandel. being called a liar, a liar
articulation of policy about where he wants to take us and is he going to be able to juxtapose that against, from his perspective, where mitt romney wants to take us? totally different approaches towards the question of whether or not the president can be hot, can even risk lacking nonpresidential tonight. where do you come down on that? i think that, first of all, it is very important, which you outlined, most of the critical issues has not even been discussed. and i think what the president has to do is broaden the ring. if you re going to use the ali analogy, let s fight with the whole ring tonight. mr. romney fought in the corner last time. if we talk about women s issues, if we talk about really revealing and being transparent with our economic policies, our personal finance, broaden the whole debate, romney can t win standing up there talking about he really wants to revoke roe versus wade. he can t win talking about same
