Romney Advisor News Today

The year 2000. come out to the what if scenario. 11 states now in play. you have a new survey out on these states alone and you show what, romney up three at 49-46? >> thats right. this is really been a change since that debate. for much of the year we kept talking how president obama was doing better in those 11 swing states than he was nationally. now that has changed. bill: how many swing states do you have, do you have 11 like we do or less? >> in this tracking poll we have 11. bill: i want ...

>> how much did you cut them by?. >> governor, we produced more oil. >> no, no. how much did you cut licenses on federal lands and federal water. >> here is what we did. >> i have a question. how much did you cut them by? how much did you cut them by?

That --. martha: they will say, that is the same idea we had for the last four years, tony? is that right. >> that is exactly right. this is where the president is in very tough position. he knows he can not run on his record. he knows he can not promise people four more years what he just had and get reelected. that is why he only focused on why governor romney should be unacceptable. that is very big problem for him. look at "washington post", hardly a conservative media outlet. october 13th o...

You notice the administration quickly goes from talking about the death of the four americans to linking it to the video saying we dont, we dont, in our country, believe in this kind of stuff but we do have freedom of speech. you know, i think, i think in the debate, governor romney was on target. president obama was off target in asserting he called it an act of terror. certainly didnt call it act of terror when they sent out the administrations ambassador. bill: moment number two. thomas fried...

Registered voter polls, they seem to lean towards the president, but when you look at likely voter polls which, i would think, are going to be more meaningful at this point, larry, they seem to lean towards romney, right? >> youre exactly right. why is there this discrepancy? people e-mail me constantly about this. because democrats arent as excited this year as republicans. it is enthusiasm gap. remember it was the opposite in 2008. democrats were more enthusiastic than republicans. it showed o...

More to the point whats not going on in washington and the accumulation of $4 billion a day in debt to not be a threat to our economic security and beyond. so expect these kind of issues to come up. its all about when you talk national security, if you think about it, its all about confidence as well. do people have confidence in america to lead and confidence that america can get out of its economic morass? obviously, expect mitt romney to pound that theres little confidence in that regard. exp...

So one is hesitant to make any real forecasts but i would say this. mitt romney may not be able to win on foreign policy, nor do i think president obama can but if youre the challenger the public understands that foreign policy is central to the presidency. it is the one area which the federal government provides the needed service and no other branch of government or a private sector can do the job. so a president has to qualify and the kind of melee we saw at the first two debates over domesti...

Martha: yeah. and i think youre right on the head. he needs to prove that he is presidential and credible and a lot of people say he made himself an acceptable alternative in denver and now he needs to be an acceptable alternative on the world stage as we. a couple things we know will come up of course is libya. i just spoke with the chairman of the house intel committee, mike rogers and he made a pretty serious claim. he said in the beginning if a month went by and we still hadnt had any form o...

World over. we got a glimpse of potential line of attack from paul ryan on the campaign trail. you remember when happened earlier this year when the president had the open mic moment with russian president dmitry medvedev. >> when you think your president is whispering to the president of russia sha, that he will have more flexibility on missile defense, begs the question, how much more does he want to give away? he already gave away technology that would have been online next year. >> reporter:...

Now youre at 257. of remaining states on the map here they have gone back and forth over the past 12 years, exempt for nevada. bush won nevada in 2000. he also won in 2004. if you make argument republican states come home. look where mitt romney is is at 263. president obama gets pennsylvania, 20, 18 in ohio. he is now at 239. you see where governor romney has to go if he does not win ohio. based on this scenario you have to either take new hampshire and iowa. or, you have to take wisconsin. wha...
