think it has an initive appeal. tavi the article about bill and hillary clinton, as you know, we have been talking about poverty and we have discussed this together. i have been troubled by the fact that in the first two debates, i was told they did a much better job than jim lehrer did. respectfully. but no question about poverty. the numbers are very clear. it is threatening our very democracy. you know the story line as well as i do, but no moderator has asked the question directly about poverty and the poor. tomorrow night, might we get a question about that specifically from someone that is living in impoverished conditions? >> is a way tok there downplay poverty, but the one thing i will say is that he did a great job. that debate was 70 minutes on foreign policy. if you match that with most americans, if that is not whose last three of their concerns, we have not talked about poverty or immigration. we have not talked about gay marriage, sensitive social issues. i have no idea what is going on in the heads of voters. moderating this third debate, she gets to call the questions

. it's not a coincidence. and with bill clinton on thursday campaigning for president obama that he went to iowa, i think for the obama campaign those are important states where the auto bailout has played well and unemployment is a little bit lower than elsewhere. i think for mitt romney, florida and virginia now are places where he's making up ground. but also for him ohio is very important. no republican has won without ohio. and so, ohio is really the center of it all. >> absolutely. well, you know, they don't call him the boss for nothing. >> absolutely. >> both of you, thank you so much. see you again soon. >>> so right now we're getting the last look at state unemployment numbers before the election. and the new numbers show the unemployment rate fell in 41 states, six of those were swing states. joining me now hitha prabhakar. good morning to you. >> good morning, alex. >> where were some of the declines? >> according to the date too from the bureau of labor statistics, unemployment dropped in all but two presidential battleground states. the rates stayed the same in virgini

direct since george h.w. bush, bill clinton and ross perot started the tradition 20 years ago. this time obama needs to find his mojo and not seem like he doesn't want to be there. campaign aides vow this time you'll see a more fiery obama. for romney it's his chance to he break a six-year stereotype he's too rich and out of touch to relate to the voter. even aas he dominated the first debate he lagged 29 points behind obama when voters asked if he connects well with ordinary americans. let's bring in our guess dana "captain crunch" millbank. interesting tough from nate today. national numbers go one way and state numbers another way. he said if you're not nervous or thrown off by the numbers, you're not doing it right. you should be terrified by this set of facts. what do you think about that? should we be freaking out or confused a little bit by the confluence of numbers going opposite directions at once? >> i'm paying no attention to the polls. i'm have a nonstop gerald ford party here. >> we should have combined them. >> that's a more useful pursuit, filler of our time than trying to

that was george w. bush who had held about half of that amount. he broke bill clinton's defense record and he broke george h. w. bush's records and so on. so it's important to note that it is a multi president story. president obama's critics have been quick to jump on him for devoting so much time to fund raising, and he absolutely has broken records. but there is a very understandable reason why. what we have seen in the presidential fund-raising is an unintentional consequence of the rules of our political system that we have campaign finance rules designed to reduce corruption or the appearance of corruption, and to do that we limit the amount of money that presidents and candidates can raise from any individual or from any group. so the idea that you can't buy any election if you only give $2,500 to a candidate per election cycle but when you combine those relatively low campaign rather contribution limits within the rapidly escalating cost of campaigns, the presidents and candidates are forced to spend more and more time raising money and it's been an escalation. 20 years ago there were
