While they have a plan, they don t want to lose this debate, it s not clear what their plan is to win the debate. it almost feels as if they are playing not to lose the debate, which we know that didn t work out so well for president obama. chuck, when you were talking about the non-swing state growth in the polls, for mr. romney, is he having enough growth in a non-swing state poll to potentially tip it from a leans democrat state to a lean republican state? is he expanding the battleground map at all with this growth that he s experiencing? well, that s not clear. there s some movement in michigan, not a lot. you know, i ve seen some polling data, believe it or not, maine is one of the states with the electoral votes that split. there s some movement for him. instead of losing by double digits in a place like new jersey it s down to single digits instead of double digits in the second congressional district of maine, it s single digits. that s where you ve seen shifts. that doesn ....

We love about it is we re all allowed to televise it. we are not allowed to televise real governing. this is what we get to show. there are things you will derive from it. you ll absolutely get in many cases a much better understanding of a candidate s position. that s very, very helpful and predictive as to how they will make those decisions when they re making governing decisions. rachel, i was just talk to one of the members of the debate commission about the rules and the reasons why they change the rules into this free-form discussion. many of the members of the debate commission have watched senate floor debates where there is no moderator, where really good debates go back and forth on c-span all the time. without the need for moderator. the other very important thing is that it s impossible to include in this debate because we re just not getting to that level of reality. it is utterly preposterous that the candidates stand up there alone. there will not be one moment in their ....

And, you know, that s an important thing for the american people to know. mitt romney has shot from the hip for foreign policy since day. in terms of foreign policy, national policy, we have a moderator tonight who s a senior foreign affairs correspondent for abc news. martha raddatz is a well traveled foreign correspondent. she s reported from a lot of war zones, she s done actually excellent war reporting. the common wisdom, again, about the relationship between president obama and vice president biden is there may be some daylight between the two of them on the issue of counterinsurgency, the u.s. strategy in iraq and afghanistan. it s been reported that the vice president may be more skeptical of that as a military strategy than president obama is. is there daylight between them? and if there is, is that an asset or a liability for your campaign heading into this vice presidential debate tonight? well, no, there is no daylight between what the administration s policy is and the ....

Work for medicare. personhood. the way he wants to basically in effect criminalize, turn it into murder abortion decisions. the emergency room. where this presidential candidate of the republican party wants to send people rather than give them obama care. bankruptcy, where he wanted to see the auto industry. these are, 47% the way he disdained half the american people for being dependent and in a sense moochers. these are huge issues in this campaign, all raised before last week s debate, not raised by the president in last week s debate. i think in addition to winning tonight he has to win, biden has to bring out those issues and score with them. i think that s a big challenge for joe biden. let s see if he can do it. in addition to all of those things you listed, you know, chris, last week it was supposed to be a domestic policy debate. that is what they focused on. they left out immigration, left out mitt romney s jobs record. they left out mitt romney s record at bain. they left ....

Senator, i served with jack kennedy. i knew jack kennedy. jack kennedy was a friend of mine. senator, you re no jack kennedy. part of why the stakes feel so high tonight is that incumbent presidents almost always lose to the candidate challenging them in their first debate. the exception to that is bill clinton beating dole in their first debate in 96. other than that every time the first debate has been a killer for the incokucumbent president. president carter lost to ronald reagan, president reagan lost his first debate to robert mondale. president bush lost his first debate to bill clinton and ross perot. next president bush lost his first debate to john kerry. so when president obama lost his first debate last week to his challenger, mitt romney, that outcome was totally in keeping with the sad, sad incumbent president tradition of getting creamed in their first debate. but what hat means for tonight ....
