Mney called calle202585388 if you are supporting obama call 2025853880 0. If you are supporting another candidate call 2025853882. Go to twitter. Com campaign 2012. How did you make up your mind and when . Since the first president ial debate how and when did you make up your mind . Late decider is only. Or if you think you were going to make up your mind during the next 13 days. Here is the wall street journal. Candidates a bottle to lock up key states. Mitt romney will spend much of the final two weeks of the campaign presenting himself as a bipartisan bridge builder. That is the wall street journal. And in the Washington Post trying to rebut criticism. Republican nominee mitt romney who had been a longtime underdog signal that he would finish the campaign as a calm, casual front runner. That is from the Washington Post. Also in the New York Times. This is in the election 2012 section. Mr. Obamas schedule has made clear that his primary mission now is to energize his own supporters and get them to vote, probably right away. In florida where he. Appeared in the morning, and later in ohio, the constant refrain at his rallies was vote vote ohio and florida are on our list of the battleground states. We are starting with florida and on thursday people go to nevada, and it continues throughout the next nine days leading up to election day. We will begin with louis in tennessee, supporting president obama. When did decide and why . Caller hello. Can you hear me . Host weekend. Go ahead. Caller good morning. I am for obama. Romney as far as i am concerned he is not told the truth. I am a retired coal miner. And he has absolutely told people he supported a call, and our labor union before this started neither one of them said an el. Date support call. And the key is teasing about that. Host governor romney said he would not support call . Caller that is right. Host and this is what you are Union Representative told you . Caller yes. We have some other issues going on and we asked about that. We support . We have no list yet. Host he said neither one of them are supporting coal. Host but now you decided to support president obama . Caller well romney is cutting and union schoolteachers down. He said he would give women support but Cutting School teachers down is not giving support. And i will tell you something else, he has not said we as far as those mexicans crossing the border and educating them and putting them to work. That is the way i look at that. Host let me get your reaction to this piece. Romney digging for the kick coal vote. Estate recent rally, paul ryan encouraged voters to cast a ballot early for mitt romney in order to keep paying jobs in the coal industry say. The Romney Campaign has used the argument for call as a way to court a relatively small percentage of voters, maybe you are reagan democrats to occupy key coalproducing counties and several battleground states. Electrolyte, four are considered a possible tossups this cycle, colorado, ohio, pennsylvania and virginia. Are you with me still . Caller i am still here. Host this story is about how governor romney is telling those that support call that they need to support him. Caller what he tells the public and what he says behind closed doors are two different things. Host when did you hear from your Union Representative . Caller he is one of the representatives up their. About two weeks ago. Host ok. We will go on to wednesday in florida, now supporting governor romney. Tell us when you decide to make up your mind and why. Caller i have been going back and forth just because obama said he would bring the truth out. But about one hour ago i was getting ready for word and i heard mr. Romney pose the question would you trust president obama with your investments . I do not think so. And that is when i said, that is very important. If you cannot trust someone with your money, and he is president , that is pretty sad. He is not good at handling all of the money that he put into all of these different projects, there is not really anbeen any return on investments. Host you just made your mind up this morning . Caller i really did. Host what other issues make you feel torn between the two . Caller the one issue was the military, bringing the troops home. Host you trusted president obama on that more than the governor romney . Caller yes. President obama said he will get people out of the afghanistan area. I do not like it. I think it is dangerous. It is not really being productive. I think it is a waste of time. What is the point . I do not want those guys up in the mountains. Host a follow up on that callers comments about the economy. This is the the wall street journal weak earnings sparked selloff. That is a story in many of the papers this morning. Also, this story in the Washington Post. He stopped the fall that hasnt turned the tide. The president s policy sluggish job growth remains a problem. Inside the story written by michael job growth perhaps the biggest vulnerability for the president. Pamela in kentucky, you did to forcided to vote johnson, why is that . Hostcaller i did wish the restf the nation could have listened to them. I do not know who watched your shows. But legalizing marijuana. In his dislike the prohibition. It is just like the prohibition. All of the illegal sales, we of more people in the jail because of marijuana and drug charges than we do for all other crimes combined. And i do agree with gary johnson. He is from the libertarian party. He does has some great things to say. Instead of bailing out wall street, it would be bailing out the college students. Who are all in the debt and cannot get jobs. And they all have a tremendous pell grant to pay back. They are the ones you need bailing out because they are our future. And we are our third bailout of wall street. Host we will show you a little bit about what gary johnson and others had to say during the third party debate. But i am just wondering, why you have been holding out from supporting one of the two Party Candidates . Caller i was just waiting for one of them to Say Something to really inspired me. And to get me excited and a revved up, to get me to march out into the street and said this is the guy i want to run my country. Host gary johnson did that for you . Caller yes. Mitt romney was who i was leaning towards. Once i listened to those people, i agreed. The two parties have morphed to gather. And one or the ever, it is not going to make that much difference. Host ok. I want to show others in case they missed it, and little but from that a thirdparty president ial debate. Here is virgil goode good and gary johnson. [video clip] jobs in america for american citizens first. I am the only candidate that has advocated a near complete moratorium on a brand cards, a Foreign Worker and missions into this country until unemployment is under 5 . It makes no sense to bring in so many farm workers when we need jobs in america for United States citizens first. As double of the mexico i ran a completely out of the political system, i got elected republican governor and state that was 21 democrat and made a name for myself of vetoing legislation. Id be done more legislation than the other 49 governors in the country combined. I b to add 750 bills, and thousands of line item vetoes, it made a difference when it can to billions of dollars worth of spending, it made a difference when it came to laws that would have told you are by what i could or couldnt do in the bedroom. Host here johnson reports that he will appear on the ballot in 48 states including some of battlegrounds. And in colorado, New Hampshire and an ohio johnson could be a thorn in romney side if the election is close. And in virginia, virgil goode could be a problem for gov. Romney in that state as well. Here is more from a thirdparty president ial debate. With the other candidates. [video clip] there are 90 million voters who are not coming out to vote in this election. That is one out of every two of voters, twice as many as the number who will come out for president obama, and twice as many as the number who will come out for mitt romney. Those are voters who are saying and go to politics as usual and setting no to the democratic and republican parties. Imagine if we got off work that they actually have a variety of choices and voices in this election. Obama ann romney have refused to discuss the corrupting influence of money flowing from wall street banks, from the Insurance Companies the pharmaceutical industry, the fossil fuel industry, military contractors, because they are the recipients of that corrupting money. And neither of these dominant Party Candidates will have a called for federal protection. Neither of them have called for an end of a poverty, an end to the insane world war on drugs or for the implementation of initiatives that would hire millions of workers. Host does your thirdParty Candidates. We are talking with late deciphers. How did you make up your mind and when . What is the media spend so much time on the undecided voter . What we spend any time of people who wait until the last minute . Often casting on informed votes based on emotion. That is from eric in florida. And this goes from 1992 until 2004 elections, in 199225 of those voting according to exit polls made up their final decision during the last week of the campaign. 30. 7 in 1996. That is gone down in 2000. It was 18. 4 that. And in 2004, 11. 3 . Here is how it breaks down by party. In 1992, 37 percent of the blade the seiters voted democrat. 29 for republican. 34 for the other candidate. 51 voted democrat, 33 for a republican, and a 33 for another candidate. You can see the trend continues, most of the lady seiders doing for the democratic candidate, and about 41 in 2000 for voting republican. You can see the other, those that voted for the other candidates on the ballot as well. They are all late the ciders. We are talking to them only. Robert in iowa. You decided to vote for president obama, when and how . Caller good morning. I did a t square and balance sheet. I went down the line on what i thought of the two candidates and i began to realize during the last debate, it seemed like i listened to romney all along. And it was very different than the last time. This time when the did the debate he was trying to be like obama because he knows obama has a better program. The other thing, the 47 comment, that is really bad. He is saying people are entitled. They are naturally entitled. The 1 as the record profits over and over again. And then make this record profit. And workers are stagnant. That is why the economy is in such bad shape. We have to love someone in there that is interested in we have got to have someone in there that is interested in that people are entitled when people are entitled. That is what romney should be saying. When it comes to health care, she is trying to change that again. But we need that help care. 40 million americans right now do not have Health Insurance. They need that Health Insurance come a lot of them are young, and they do not realize that they need it. Host ok. Family in richmond, virginia. You decided to vote for governor romney. Why . Caller i do not know if youd call me late decider. Host when did you decide . Caller i started to lean mitt romney when this whole issue in benghazi when the assassination and murder of four americans took place. And to make, i was around when watergate during watergate. My feeling is, if it walks like a coverup, talks like a cover up, it is a coverup. And i am amazed that you have had nothing so far on your program about the reuters report late last night. On all of these emails that have been sent back and forth. They knew in the administration, and it have to have gone up to the white house at some point very early on, that this was not a rowdy crowd that got out of hand over a video that barely anybody saw. It was terrorism. And ever since, it has been, i mean, everybody in the administration is saying, it was the video. Two weeks later, they are still not saying an act of terrorism. It is obvious that it was an act of terrorism. Host which is more of an important issue . But it was an act of terrorism or that theres a possible coverup. Caller both. Because of an act of terrorism, yes, it is frightening. Host you decided to write for governor romney caller the very fact that the president and the administration could lie to the American People, knowing what happened i just feel outraged. And slowly became more outraged. Host 20 think watergate has stuck with you all of these years and the coverup . Why do you think watergate has stuck with you all of these years . Caller i grew up with it. I did not care one way or another about nixon. What i cared about was lying. Host robert in laurel, md. Decided to vote for gary johnson. When did you make the decision . Caller last night when i watched the third party debate, the prohibition on drugs. Me being an African American he doesnt think in that matter. Alf are in prison because of the drugs. 60,000 black men have been murdered since 9 11, probably killed because of drugs and stuff like that. If we can legalize marijuana, more of these women without husbands would have won. Host gary johnson or joe stein, everyone should take a look of the thirdparty debates. Facebooking. Com cspan. And the reuters story. Officials at the white house and the state department were advised two hours after attackers attacked benghazi that an Islamic Group had claimed credit for the attack. Official emails show. This is a story posted yesterday from reuters. If you are interested. The twoouse told hours after the attack according to emails. We are talking to light the ciders. How and when did you make up your mind . We are talking to 08 deciders. How and when did you make up your mind . We will try to find this story for you. Here we go. Here is the usa today. Voters face proposal to change state laws to regulate the sale of marijuana. Cavan in jacksonville, florida. You decided to support president obama, why is that . Caller it was after the last debate. Watching governor romneys response to the national security, dealing with navy ships or air force aircraft, or army troops. I do not think he understands. Being a military member, i worked and national security, it is a different line of work when you look at capability, you do not look at the numbers. The numbers are not as important as the capability. Host you decided to reject just decided after this last debate. What were you holding out for . Caller well, i really like to see governor romney, if he had a different perspective on national security, it yet a different plan other than the bob bush luke skywalker. He did not. You just had talking points and the wave of the hand. That was not good enough for me. I am a military officer. I am still active. Host are you in the navy . Caller no. Host i sense some reluctance to tell us what you do . Caller yes. Host this is the Baltimore Sun reporting that an estimated 59. 2 Million People tuned in to watch the final debates between barack obama and gop challenger mitt romney on monday night, despite strong competition from monday night football and game 7 of Major League BaseballsNational League championship series. About 65. 6 Million Viewers watched the second debate on october 16. We will go to our race in georgia, decided to support governor romney. We will go to maurice in georgia. Host you are on. Caller the issue was for me, originally i was undecided. It was based upon a moral issue. I decided to go with mitt romney. Because of the fact i feel like he has a moral standard. Even though from what i understand he claims to be a mormon. I am a very devout christian. And locked of his views are consistent with what i believe and the holy bible. Primarily, a lot of people are focused on war, money, school education. But i feel the number one determining factor of why this nation is continuing to fall is because of f. A. Moral debate. And i learned in church, i have prayed daily for this country, and as the apostle paul had stated, the likely regard of the homosexual lesbian abomination is resulting from immorality and abandonment of god. Any nation that justifies a homosexuality as a civil right order acceptable lifestyle is in the final stages of moral corruption. And i believe if any nation that shuns the bible or moves away from the preset that was the Building Blocks of this nation, is ultimately going to corrupt. Host what you trust governor romney more than president obama . Caller for example, samesex marriage. That was huge for me. Originally i voted for obama the first term. That issue right there to try to change holy matrimony as the sanctity between a man and a woman, it directly violates and train crosses the law of god. And to me it is extremely dangerous. Ultimately, we are playing got ourselves. Host samesex marriage for you. Others have brought up national security. Here is the Washington Post. By greg miller. United states set to keep kill lists for years. Including sealed indictments and a clandestine operations. This is the database is designed to go beyond existing kill louis, mapping plans for the disposition of suspects beyond the reach of the drums. That is the front page story in the Washington Post. They are the only ones to have it this morning. And in the Washington Times , the only millions for ad buys in the final days before the election. They are sitting on at least 122 million in cash that can be spent on politics. Theres of millions to democratic super pacs purchasing ad buys daily. With unions traditional specialty being get out the vote rather than persuasion, it is now in the final weeks of the campaign, that much of the funds stand to be spent.
