The president like he did in 08 and coming out again this morning for his support. >> my thanks to all three of you. i appreciate it. >> thank you. i want to bring in my next guest florida democratic congressman ted deutch. the recent polling showing governor romney leading there. what, if anything, can the president do to close the gap in a state that seems to be leaning toward mitt romney? >> sure. great to be with you, by the way, thomas. first of all, in three of the last five polls that c...

Doomed. they could make mistakes and advance the same policies and rerun the 08 and 04 elections over again and not a good time for them. >> nate, what is romneys best path to victory in 13 days? >> i think its starts by winning north carolina and florida. and then hes got to win virginia and colorado and then hes got to go over the top in ohio but the polls suggest he trails bay narrow margin in ohio and nevada and colorado coin flips for him. he has to make the move in ohio and got to be quick...

Who feel hes not ready to be commander in chief and feel his budget is too far to the right, too extreme and not what they want the republican party to be championing. >> steve what i love about this narrowing is i dont have to pay attention to as many states. i personally have decided to just pay attention to just ohio. so im relying on you to watch those states. so its becoming more and more real as we get closer. >> yeah. i think the way im trying to look at this map and the way im understand...

And directly sort of referring to that idea of a movement behind him and i can say having travelled with him for ten months i have never seen this sign before. two signs placed just to fit in the camera shot. of course, democrats for romney to try to project him as a bipartisan leader as well. really trying to expand their audience as it were in final days. >> it was an interesting sign. reminds me of the obama 08 campaign. they reflected to venture that ryan budge debt not get one democrat yuck...

Swing states the way they did four years ago, that has to have somewhat of an impact. they want to squeeze every vote they can out of their natural constituency. its natural but if its so tight like this and you dont know if theres any funny business with superpac ads, voter suppression efforts, they just want to get everybody out that they can, and i think ads like that are, i hope are effective. >> there are definitely a lot of polls that show an enthusiasm gap with republicans just rabid, you...

The same margin he did four years ago. it is how michael bennett won. he did it and i will tell you what is interesting about the bennett race against buck. republicans say buck ran a terrible campaign. but the ad -- campaign itself never brought up abortion. it was done in direct mail appeals to women voters, very micro targeted campaign. and that is what we have been seeing with the president. >> and if you remember back to the 08 primary, barack obama destroyed hillary clinton in colorado. st...

In a statistical dead heat or tied in key races like ohio is critical. you can look at the early and absentee voting activity. the rnc is taking a close look at that. the republican early and absentee voting is strong. our numbers compared to 08 we have an eight percentage point advantage in that area, and that shows right there momentum itself. so we have visuals on the ground in momentum, polling data and early and absentee voting numbers that show great moment for romney. >> perry, one thing ...

Obama 08 states he needs to flip. one is north carolina, florida, virginia, colorado. i think hes well positioned to take back north carolina, hes probably ahead in florida right now and i would put virginia and colorado basically in the toss-up category. to get past the first level romney needs to take all of those. then we can get into the second level where he can take on ohio on top of that, or teblg take wisconsin plus new hampshire, iowa or nevada and he becomes the president that way. its...
