Welcome back to "hardball." the romney campaign sounding calm, cool and confident with 13 days to go. since the first debate romney has caught president obama in most national polls but is romney the front-runner as hes projecting himself to be right now and some in the media are now painting him? this morning politicos mike allen threw cold water on the growing conventional wisdom. "to be president you have to win states not debates and mitt romney has a problem. romney has not put away a singl...

Castings idea of a president. that seemed to me to be kind of a false notion, that somehow he needed to get over that. his problem last night was he didnt look strong, and most americans who have busy lives and are not paying close attention, they just want to know one thing from a debate. they judge the winner of a debate, not necessarily the person theyre going to vote for, but the winner of a debate on the basis of who was stronger. they want a strong president. in the first debate romney was...

Aggressive and more present than he was in the first debate. how does he handle that? >> when obama is in your face which he will be in the next debate romney has to respond as he did in the first debate. it might be a little difficult for him because it will be very different. the town hall format is much friendlier to barack obama. jeff is exactly right. i was in columbus last saturday and people coming up to me for the first time saying that we have a reason to believe that mitt romney can ac...

That fannie and freddie were both in there after he denounced romney for something similar. that was a very similar moment to that thats the first thing i thought of when i read the transcript of the sound that you just played. >> bill: you could see at the end of that debate romney was teed off. angry, pointing the finger. hey, i dont know what you are talking about. i didnt know what kennedy was talking about provide access, what does that mean? so romney there, very intense, much more focused...

Homosexual activist again. he has to show he can stand up to pressure and he should have stood up to the pressure like when the gay soldier was booed by the audience back in the first debate romney should have said folks, you can disagree but hes out there defending us. >> a series. who are you mitt romney. >> this is the moment that we have talked about on this show over and over again. there are these pivot points that are available to mitt romney where he can stand up and say look, this is wh...

Said your $2.50 a gallon for gas is pandering and he did it in georgia, he said it. whats your reaction? >> look, if youre mitt romney and youre rich enough, maybe you dont get it. $2.50 a gallon gasoline is more than responsible. it was $1.13 when i was speaker. it was $1.89 when barack obama was sworn in as president. a national energy independence program would certainly bring down the cost of gasoline dramatically. i mean, if romney wants to run as a candidate of high priced gasoline, thats ...

Performing as historian which is one of gingrichs other claims. he says he merely provided strategic advice that the troubled mortgage lender largely ignored. in last nights debate romney cited still other gingrich interests. >> if your entities are getting paid by health companies that could benefit from a piece of legislation and you then meet with republic congressman and encourage them to support that legislation, you can call it whatever you would like, i call it influence pedestrian ling. ...
