>> i think theres a sense that florida might be moving in romneys direction. structurally, thats always been the most problematic of the battleground states for obama. and if i were betting, i would bet romney carries florida. >> and were hearing from the romney side that theres a bit of a head fake there. >> it may be. what a lot of strategists have told me is if youre going to make a play for a state, you need to do it at least three weeks before election day. so one week out, not even a full ...

>> campaigns still fighting for independent voters. here is how the numbers stand in the fox news poll. >> they are still coming down on the romney side of the equation. we are seeing things tighten up a little bit. if you look at single issues this has been one constant through out the xin. economic issues still dominate. 44 percent about where it was back in september. the race may hinge on that. the obama campaign is hoping that images like we saw yesterday, the president acting as commander-...

Carries. >> not counting north carolina, well, colorado is going to be tough. i think of all the battleground states, thats probably the closest. >> give me the next two. >> new hampshire, and i think florida, although, i am more optimistic about florida. >> im sensing that. >> i think florida could be the odd surprise. >> jim? >> keep an eye on hispanic voters. >> thats what i agree. most pessimistic, romney side. what do you think? >> definitely nevada. definitely iowa. i guess wisconsin. wisc...

Who he is the candidate who can reach across the aisle and work as a bipartisan candidate. watch this. >> im going to be meeting regularly and when i say regularly, more than once a year. its important that we have a president who understands how to work across the aisle. >> but greg sergeant at "the washington post" writes, romney claims his leadership skills give him an ability to forge agreement between differing parties to get things done that obama has proven he lacks. now americans are bei...

Dead even race in ohio. five points for obama. when they last tested here a number of weeks ago. shows momentum on romney side. the question is does he have momentum to push him perhaps 270. >> bret: quick answer of impact of the storm, hurricane sandy and what it means for the race? >> could it mean -- i think its freezing the race. its hard for either romney or obama to break through with new, with some new initiative while everybody is focused on sandy. i dont think it affects the turnout. >>...

President to just be president -- tending to the task at hand to the extent that hes able to do so. i guess the danger from the romney side is to interject themselves in a way that is seen as, you know, trying to take political advantage of it in any way. if you are on their side, they want to steer clear of any sign of that. >> yes, i guess you can see that the country will see the president aboard, whatever aircraft that he can use, exuding the kind of compassion and concern for the people tha...

Have an impact when both sides are looking a sliver of momentum. it gives a little something to the romney side. >> anne, your read on this? >> i think anne has it perfectly right. i think it will sway a few people who are undecided. it think the biggest impact is that were talking about it so much and it gives romney more of the media momentum. which is more of a trip for him than anything else. >> coming up next, we start with robert trainhams three must-reads of the big three. and the latest ...

Wanted and now the week before we see exclamation point. theres something about the article about the 106 counties. the core assumption is that the bases will turn out as roughly the same numbers in 2008. so i think thats part of the focus on ways voters, souls to the polls in the context of voter suppression, women in particular are the folks that ari said that the president is going after. so you have to have at least the same turnout among the bases as you it in 2008 to make hose counties imp...
