More republican than democratic about -- >> look, hes not trying to win this -- >> its just something the president doesnt want to talk about. >> look -- >> i talked to a republican consultant today whos as sensible as you usually are, who said its unfortunate the last debates on foreign policy. we need to get back to the economy. i think mitt romney, for example, would be a lot smarter to try to talk about china and see if he could connect that to jobs issues here in the u.s. hes not going to m...

I can tell you this. i learn from it, sean. i learn i should watch... >> sean: listen to me. i was screaming in the room. >> yes. screaming in my ear. >> this time i paid attention to twitter and talking to everybody on the floor. >> sean: david axelrod? >> i can tell you republicans now are like, do you know what? this is fine. we knew obama was going to come back. >> sean: candy crowley just admitted that romney was right on libya. that is big. and that she made a mistake. we have the -- . >> ...

As he did last time around. he made his point. obama clearly had a good night, a much better night than the first night. you know, woody allen said showing up is 80% of life. he was at the 80%. i think on points, if you were scoring its on points, obama wins on points. and he made a lot of counter punches. a lot of accusations. he managed to get under romneys skin a little bit by referring to his wealth. he made $20 million a year trying to make $1 million by taxes but its a way to say youre a r...

If somebody came to you, governor, with a plan that said, here, i want to seven 7 or $8 trillion and were going to pay for it, but we cant tell you until after the election how were going to do it, you wouldnt have taken such a sketchy deal. and neither should you, the american people. because the math doesnt add up. >> mr. romney gave a very spirited defense on that specific issue tonight. his rejoinder after president obama said that was to defend the math of his tax plan. essentially saying l...

>> im convinced people want job creators.. >> lets talk about tax policy. is this an economic issue. >> to have our country move forward we need to have our job creators.. >> middle income american isnt going to benefit one nickel if mitt romney pays half taxes or double taxes. issue is leaving funds in the hands of the job creators and obama is infantasy loaned by qloring taxes for everybody it allows that money to go back into the economy and stimulates growth. >> i want to compare this to wha...

Two things there, though. the first, i thought romney exposed himself unnecessarily on the 47%. why would you volunteer thats the one thing that you want to correct, you know, as an image about you when there was so many other things to pick from to open up the door for the president to lay out that closing argument as masterfully as he did. so that was a shortcoming for romney there. for the president, the libya issue was not resolved last night, despite candy crowleys help or lack thereof in t...

For it, but we cant tell you until after the election how were going to do it, you wouldnt have taken such a sketchy deal. and neither should you, the american people. because the math doesnt add up. >> mr. romney gave a very spirited defense on that specific issue tonight. his rejoinder after president obama said that was to defend the math of his tax plan. essentially saying look at who i am. look at who ive been my whole life. of course the numbers will add up. >> if somehow the numbers dont ...

Verge of collapse. because we were about to go through the worst recession since the great depression. as a consequence of the same policies that governor romney is now promoting. its conceivable he could bring down gas prices. with his policies we may be in the same mess. >> one of the things eager listen anticipated is this might be the first time they went head to head on the issue of reproductive choice. both campaigns are happy to say suburban women in particular were key targets of who the...

Shes a reporter. thats why its important to have a journalist in that situation. and it provided romneys i think most embarrassing moment of the night. because he sat there. he leaned his chin out, he put his eyebrows up. and he was wrong. >> he thought he was moving in for the kill at that point. >> and he said lets move on. like i dont want to test this moment. lets watch. very strong moment as you say, joy. the president responded to romneys attack on the libya issue. he says when it comes to...

Deficit be we dont talk about it in terms of climate. >> one issue that came up for the first time that did not come up in the vice presidential debate or the presidential debate but is absolutely critical to this the country, not just on substance but in terms of the electorate, something steve that youve been raising which is not just the latino vote but immigration. i have a quick clip i want to play from the way mr. romney responded to a question, a very conservatively worded question. a wom...
