Armed services committee, and sir good morning to you. good morning, bill. bill: how does it impede an investigation if you can t talk to the only man that we believe is under arrest at the moment, or being held? well, bill u know that is hugely important to this investigation, and it plays into part of a larger narrative that we ve been asking for several weeks now, and one of them is, did we have the military assets that we needed to defend u.s. interest? if not, why? was it because of all these defense cuts? secondly if we had them why didn t we use them? because they were there and available. and the third one is why are we having this massive attempt to try to cover this up, beginning with this fictitious argument about these mobs and these protests against a video. and now we are looking at not even interviewing a key witness that could shed a lot of light on this investigation. bill: let me come back to that point, because the other bit of information that jennifer griffin w ....
Bill: that s a great point. i was especially struck by the comments that your governor made yesterday, chris christie. he was clearly taken aback what he had seen up and down the shore. it is just like nothing i have ever seen before. you know, we had irene. last year we had a nor easter in 92. i remember as a kid hurricane donna but nothing like this. there are so many people stranded without shelter. and the damage to the public infrastructure, to the boardwalks, municipal buildings, firehouses it is just endless. bill: frank pallone, thank you. we re going to stay in touch with you and a lot of others down there and hopefully get the word out. if we can help in any way making the word more public we certainly will, sir. thank you and good luck to you and your family. thank you. bill: frank pallone, democrat on the jersey shore. waking up to a whole new world as so many people are. sandy s wrath is extending into west virgina. have you seen the snow that ....
first of all, i mean these numbers every year, every presidential cycle in any event are getting bigger and bigger, the pre voting, which is a new trend in american politics and i think it s only going to grow, that is one. two, the fact that there are more republicans than democrats voting is not at all a surprise to me because a number of those 30 states that have early voting are red states where there would be predominantly republican votes. bill: how about this go ahead, make your point. the key is what early voting has taken place in swing states. at least in ohio we know according to gallup that that has favored the president, and in other states that that is still out. bill: this is what leads the romney folks, i believe to be a bit encouraged here. four years ago president obama was beating john mccain 55-40 in this survey, and now romney is leading obama 52-45. andrea, how conclusive? ....
Point out because democrats vote more on election today. in ohio it s not even close, in terms of where those absentee ballots, or the early vote ballots are. bill: andrea s big point is that it s a 22 point swing. it s a meaningless number, it s a meaningless number. 22 point swing for what? you re talking about from 2008 to 2012. you re talking about a number of days for early voting to take place. you don t know how many people are going to vote between now and next tuesday. bill: what about that andrea. i can answer that very easily. look at the gallup number overall among likely registered voters who will vote november 6th. romney leads those by five points, bob. it s not five points. that number collapsed down. the polls, all this big momentum you ve been trying to sell isn t selling any more, the numbers are collapsed down on most all these folks including the gallup tracking poll. bill: go ahead andrea wrap-up. turn out advantage, this is something gallup talked about l ....
