the story. i think people forget, too, that barack obama can be really competitive. he s often like he likes to have the ball with three seconds left to make the shot. he likes these if he doesn t win tomorrow night, it s 0-2 in a 3-game match. if he wins tomorrow, you go to the rubber match. thank you, david corn. that s how we think in baseball season still. thank you, david maraniss. up next, vice president joe biden gets the snl treatment. wait until you catch this. poor joe. tomorrow we will be live from hofstra university for live editions of hardball at 5:00, a different show at 7:00, and i will join rachel maddow. we will be back at 10:30 with lots of reaction. stay up late with us for the biggest fun, stay up at midnight, we have great guests coming on live from the debate site. this is hardball, the place
follow the law and pay only what the tax code requires. wait. that s about it. best quota on this, i ll let you jump in. he of course has three years to file an amendment to his returns, as all-americans do. which means i just have this vision of them sitting in the hotel suite on election night as the returns come back and as soon, if he doesn t win, or even if he does, that would be the true boss thing to do, as soon as it s decided like on the phone with brad, file that amendment. i want that $300,000 check from the government right away. we re going to take a break and talk more about it after this. u, brochures, posters copies of my acceptance speech. great! it s always good to have a backup plan, in case i get hit by a meteor. wow, your hair looks great. didn t realize they did photoshop here. hey, good call on those mugs. can t let em see what you re drinking. you know, i m glad we re both running a nice, clean race. no need to get nasty. here s your honk if you had an a
journal, i know chuck talked about this so i will defer to chuck but the thing i found, those swing states, he s ahead by more than he is nationally. we always said this is a national election in name only. that is, what matters is the margin in those swing states. you know, i m from connecticut. president obama is very likely to win connecticut. if he doesn t win connecticut, he s got bigger problems on his hands. the fact that he s ahead by eight in those swing states and only three nationally, i find kind of striking. i know chuck concluded at least part of it s about negative ads. again, i defer to him on that. that s the number i think we should look at. i think we should look more at 50/42. in fact, the president is going to ohio and pennsylvania, making your point. chuck, let s go through the numbers. what do you see as the most interesting take-away from this poll? what are they saying in boston and chicago? well, i think what it is, you re seeing the first imprints, we ve
meetings, the money that he is raising, don t stack up to his public comments, he is going it face this perennial question which is, what do you support? what do you stand for? so it is not just hypocrisy, it is what is the real mitt romney? what is his real agenda here? and he is not really answering it by confusing the picture in this way. maria, does he need santorum and others to help him keep the conservatives in line or can he win without them? i mean, he definitely needs santorum. i think is perhaps the only time that progress and santorum might be aligned in the sense that they don t know or really trust mitt romney s judgement when it comes to contraception and the fact that, that basically the endorsement from santorum came so late at night is because santorum is quietly itching saying, i hope he doesn t win, so i can run in 2016. thanks for your time tonight. thanks, reverend. thank you. coming up, nobel prize
