they ve done that time and time and time again. and what happened the first debate was the president himself failed to do that as well. tonight the president took every opportunity possible to do the same thing the campaign has so successfully done for several months that has produced the margin of, you know, produced their lead if the polls. so i think they have to be feeling good. steve schmidt? i think governor romney did an effective job on issues around the economy. i also think he had three turnovers tonight. it would be interesting to see how the immigration issues are covered on univision. i think also the 47% question and the libya question, they re going to be replayed over and over again over the next 24 hours. as we ve talked about before, when you look at these debate leads and flash polls, the side that is able to capitalize on the other s mistake, it tends to grow that lead. it may be in 24, 48 hours that the lead opens up in how people
jon, it s like he ran over and said, that s my seat, and he jumped in it. washington post eugene robinson. and thomas friedman. co-author of the book that used to be us: how america fell behind the world it invented and how we can come back. so mika, you didn t like the romney answer on women? you know, i think it s interesting what s happening with women. and i d really love to hear all of your takes on this because you see some polls showing a tightening between the candidates on women. well, this is a president who i think if you take social issues out of it, even, he s done more for women you could argue. last night, though, he didn t seem to connect. i thought, this is another one of those examples, the libya question is asked, and mitt romney doesn t slam dunk it. the immigration question is asked, and barack obama doesn t

266 with five remaining battlegrounds to get the last four votes from puts him in a commanding position. doesn t mean he s going to win ohio. i m confident he s still behind there. but there are reasons to think had he has a chance to come back to win there and the best path that he has. i was surprised yesterday to hear some democrats talking about romney s strength in ohio. one way to think about it, if there were a governor s race in ohio, gubl torl candidates, mitt romney or barack obama, who would have a better chance. recent history in that state would say it would be a close contest. david, we talk about the things that mitt romney is doing to strengthen his candidacy or his bid to become the president of this country. is there stuff that president obama is not doing or handling poorly? specifically i want to talk about the libya question. because i think we go back and forth about how much this is actually going to play into voters minds when they go into the booth and let s
they re in would have, could have, should have mode. it s basically here s what i should have said. i expect that s what the president will say tomorrow night. the certainly the element of do-overs in any of the attacks. if big bird gets mentioned again, he ll know exactly what to say this time. i think what makes this unpredictable, the questions will be totally 50sly different. neither candidate wants to retread the ground they went over two weeks ago. they need new areas of attack. greta: i m interested to hearing the libya question, if there is one i m interested in the answer. panel, thank you. thank you. greta: coming up, if you haven t decided who won the vice presidential debate, we have something to help you decide. that s next. ess crit card! pizza!!!!!
