Boardroom. and he took over physically almost. obama -- certainly the moderator were at loose ends to try to catch up with him. how does the president walk into a room where theres this big guy with total ego, self-confidence facing him down. will he look him in the eye? will he stare him down? does he want to do that? >> reporter: i think theres going to be a little of that, but both sides have been very careful to be saying, hey, were not interested in having confrontations with the other guy....

Vision for the future? right now the presidents message of dont go back to the bush years i think is more compelling and has been laid out more emotionally than romney talking about anything hes going to do in the future. >> well, mark, lets talk also just about what youre hearing. im going to ask your co-author, john, the same question. i always take my read from the campaigns behind the scenes and what theyre saying. forget about the public polls. what are you hearing behind the scenes? the ro...

Critical time. if the president doesnt show up, he could end up in a deficit that i dont know if one more debate could make it up. >> chuck, there has been all sorts of stories spun by the obama people out of the white house that this time the president is really focusing in on the debate. >> reporter: this time. >> this time hes really serious about the debate prep, hes really doing his homework. given that and if he is focusing on his homework, what are the odds that the president comes right ...

Seeing big crowds particularly in ohio. >> i have had the fun of going back and forth across ohio and this week i was also in florida and iowa. i was in north carolina, in virginia. and, you know what? there is a growing cress trickling back toward the romney side. president obama flying off to new hampshire damage control and get that poll back in his favor. >> its an exciting race obviously as we are three weeks away. more headlines right now including this terribly sad story. police in colora...

And vice-presidential debate since the first four kennedy-nixon debates in 1960, thinking back over the last few minutes i dont believe i have ever seen a debate in which one participant was openly disrespectful of the other as biden was to paul ryan tonight. thats what it was. you can talk about the smirks, smiles, head shaking, the mugging, it was openly, contemptuous and disrespectful. jon: ben, chris wallace has been in washington a long time. as he said, covered a lot of these races. what i...

>> kimberly: we are looking for a president not someone to win most courteous. forget politeness. do your home work and have answers and ideas about what to do to fix the country in every category. >> dana: safe to overcorrect. we saw women in particular after that debate go to romney side. you are a jerk to mitt romney and the next debate, not going to reflect well. >> bob: what he said was telling about the next time it is not going to be the same way. part of that is biden. biden will go thro...

One is everybody in there was twittering and -- >> now youre hanging out with bob twittering. >> no, no. tweet, whatever. the second thing to say is it wasnt so much the right, and there were people on the romney side trying to push it. it was the left. it was the left that went crazy on obama! they wanted a grudge match, a cage match. they wanted -- >> thats why even the obama campaign thinks they lost. >> yeah, thats the problem. >> when they come out tend with the spinners, it was all romney ...

Discussion. i want to bring back chris matthews in denver in terms of hearing the republican spin on this. seeing what seems to be real democratic frustration on this. were hearing already in terms of the different responses. the romney side is proclaiming victory. the obama campaign does not seem to be doing that. chris? >> when you read "the new york times" tomorrow, youll see a side bar, strong night for romney. i think its an objective -- it may be theater, but this is a major campaign event...

This tax plan that he fully cant explain. i mean this is such a dark mentality. how important is it for the president to draw distinction between the candidates? >> the problem for the president is hes debating a piece of jell-o. so every time he tries to close on it, it wobbles into a new shape. is it his position on abortion? position on pro-life? that makes him a very difficult debate opponent if you think its about engagement and everything we have heard from the romney side is they think it...
