The womens vote. Governor romney feels comfortable having politicians in washington making choices for women. The president s statement of my policy is completely and totally wrong. The brawl over libya. It took the president 14 days before he called the attack in benghazi an act of terror. He date, in fact, serve if you laughs at the Al Smith Dinner. I am well rested after the nightlong nap at the first debate. So much totime redistribute. Captioned by the National Captioning Institute www. Ncicap. Org this is a close race. At weeks end, the National Gallup poll gave romney is largest lead so far. The president is looking good in the battleground states of iowa and wisconsin, however it is on the heels of the second president ial debate. The president showed up for this one and the result was a lively exchange. Have elected your pension . Have elected your pension . Mr. President , have you looked at your pension .

We are so pleased that you joined us, and Judy Woodruff, thank you for serving on our board. [laughter] i would like to ask each of debates that we just went through.

Guest i dont think it was a coincidence that during the Foreign Policy debate, mitt romney kept bringing it back to the economy. Most people turning in were not going to be paying that close attention to some of the Foreign Policy issues, and i dont think many \ voters go to the polls to vote based on what our decisions will be with china or cuba, for that matter. But they do vote with their pocketbooks. Statewide unemployment in florida is 8. 7 , but it is much higher in various pockets of florida. In some counties, as high as 12 unemployment. As we all know, that does not talk about the underemployed. The economy is still struggling in florida. We have signs of it getting better, but i heard a story that foreclosures in the state are the highest in the nation. Theres a lot of economic pressure in the state. People are feeling the pain, and whoever sells the economic message best is going to do well in this state. I should add that the Republican Party in the state is very strong. The
, rocker pat benatar and mrs. Brady herself florence henderson. Its the behar bunch. Only on current tv. Jennifer this week certain republicans gave their own party a bad name, even more than usual.

If barack obama opens up and gives his College Records and applications, and if he gives his pass port applications and records, i will give to a charity of his choice a check, immediately, for 5 million. Jennifer im just saying. You know what really bugs me about the comments in the context of the president ial race . These guys are all tightly connected to mitt romney. John sununu is an active romney surrogate as he
Geez louise how come every single time i try to sing this song, it turns into a train wreck for me. [ theme music ] jennifer there are now just eleven days until the election and the president s message is very simple every vote counts. Today he took that idea to young voters in an interview with mtv. Dont believe this idea that your vote does not matter. In 2000 in gore versus bush 537 votes changed the direction of history. And the same thing could happen here. So theres no excuse regardless of who you vote for, folks get to need out there and vote. Jennifer so where does the race stand right now . Theres good news and bad news and im going to give you the bad news first. Mitt romney now leads the president by about one point nationally 4948 . An abc Washington Post poll out today, a very narrow lead but still a lead. Among independent voters romney is ahead even more. Poll tracker shows that romney is up and it really pains me to say this but he is up by six points among independent
