of tomorrow's big presidential debate we are taking a look at mitt romney's tax plan and his claim it will cut rates without ballooning the budget deficit. we are interested in it for two reasons tonight. it was a major subject on the sunday shows where romney advisors continued to defend it and no doubt it will be a big topic tomorrow night. keeping them honest a bipartisan study found the math doesn't work and other studies which the romney campaign counters with, they're coming under fire tonight as well. take a look. >> six different studies have said this is very questionable. some of them are blogs, some from the aei, an independent group. >> these are very credible sources. >> one of them is from a guy who is a blog from a guy who was a top advisor to george w. bush. these are hardly nonpartisan studies. >> that was top romney advisor ed gillespie. more on that in a moment, first, i want to begin at the beginning. with what romney has been promising. >> under no circumstances will i raise taxes on the middle class of america. we will keep our taxes down. >> what mitt and i are proposing

the blatant dishonesty and distortions of mr. romney and his campaign to mr. romney tomorrow night in front of, i'm sure, what is going to be a record breaking crowd of viewers for the second debate? >> yes. i think he has to. and they are trying to put all kinds of restrictions on candy crowley. they don't want her to ask follow ups and be the fact checker. i think in a charming, polite way, when things come up, if we hear with the six studies again, if he's brazen enough to tell uses thus that six studies back up the tax plan, even chris wallace doesn't believe you and there's no truth to what you're saying, i think he's got to be a fact checker and say what he needs to say to win. >> joan walsh and bob shrum, thank you for your time this evening to both of you. >> thank you, rev. >>> coming up, a man who knows all about getting to the truth. he blew the lid off of watergate. how can republicans get the facts on jobs? carl bernstein joins us live. you'll want to hear what he has to say. >>> plus, how did this t-shirt saying, quote, "put the white back in the white house" make it into a romne

in a town hall style. what are you expecting tomorrow? >> mitt romney i think has been on the campaign trail now for five years, since before the last election, ande was doing ask mitt anythings town halls even then. i have seen him in this campaign, anderson, get so much better. this process we have for these candidates is brutal. they really, it takes a lot out of them but it's brilliant because they meet so many americans, they hear so many stories. you are hearing mitt romney talk on the trail now about how many people he's met that under barack obama have lost their jobs, lost their hope. i think we've seen mitt romney connect in a lot of ways. barack obama is actually very good at this town hall format, too. maybe if both these guys are good, we can actually make a judgment on substance. >> bill, the pressure is on for the president. what do you expect tomorrow night? obviously i assume you think he'll be more aggressive than he was the first time around. >> well, there's no doubt that mitt romney did himself some good in that first debate, but just from a strictly polling standpoint,

and mitt romney will face off tomorrow. romney shined in the first debate. president obama re-emerged in the second. who will it be m third? we'll take a closer look. hmm, it says here that cheerios helps lower cholesterol as part of a heart healthy diet. that's true. ...but you still have to go to the gym. ♪ the one and only, cheerios ...but you still have to go to the gym. with two times the points on dining in restaurants,? you may find yourself asking why not, a lot. chase sapphire preferred. there's more to enjoy. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] you've been years in the making. and there are many years ahead. join the millions of members who've chosen an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. go long. >> how come you don't do nothing about that? all right. thanks. all right. >> well, eugene, obviously we need to do everything we can to become manager-independent. >> oh really? then why have you cut drilling permits on federal land by half? >> that's not true. >> so how much did you cut? >> not true. >> you didn't cut anything?

's kirsten welker sources say the president will probably bring up mitt romney's 47% comments during tomorrow's debate. the comments from the hidden fundraiser video from the soft underbelly. it's the best attack to show the american people mitt romney is not acceptable as the choice for president because he says one thing behind closed doors and something else on numerous occasions other places. joe biden used the comments to his advantage during the debate against paul ryan last week. a new ad uses romney's comments against him. one actor does not go easy on the republican nominee. >> my dad was the governor of michigan and was the head of a car company. but he was born in mexico. had he been born of mexican parents, he might have a better shot. >> your policies suck. being latino wouldn't win you the election but saying jokingly that you wish you were might actually lose it for you. >> the president needs to go after mitt romney but he can't look like a pit bull on stage. that's a tough order. it's a fine line to walk. the debate will not be the same as it was two weeks ago. the podiums ar

. there are a surprising number of black hollywood people coming out for romney. >> sean: tomorrow night at hofstra youth, we'll be there after the debate, candy crowley will be the moderator of this debate. when paul ryan was selected, she said the following. >> we've already had this debate. all we have to do, obama re-elect is open up the files, because this debate has already happened. they just bring it back. it's what they talk b they talk. not every republican has sign on to this -- they will public clear, but there's some trepidation -- >> they're afraid. >> -- that this looks like a ticket death wish. oh, my gosh, do we really want to talk about these things? is this where we want to go when the economy is so bad? >> sean: picking paul ryan has a death wish. there's another marte martha raz in the making. she's supposed to ask the question, not interpret, not do follow-up. apparently got a little call from the debate commission and said, this is what your role is, and this is what we expect you to follow. >> right. >> sean: when she's out there, she can do whatever she wants. why do republicans

, quote, zingers. what would you expect tomorrow night? >> well, we have to understand why romney won the first debate and 80s had this huge impact. the mainstream media is not explaining it properly. they're saying obama was stiff, unresponsive and uncommunicative, and so on. that wasn't it at all. that's all true, but it didn't cause the debate to change. what caused the debate to change the race was a fundamental strategic error obama made at the start of the campaign to base his entire candidacy on a character assassination of romney. because at some point after he pounded all that into the voters' heads, the real mitt speech, you'd see him in three debates. and you'd see that this guy is not a monster, a miscreant, that he's not only concerned about heart and brain and ideas, and that dispelled the image which obama had placed all of his hopes in. and if romney simply continues to be the same man that he was two weeks ago, not different, not any better, but just the same guy, and if romney's momentum will continue. i told you nine months ago, and i've said for the last nine month

tomorrow night, he will slay mitt romney. so i congratulate you for that. i hope it rubs off on him for the sake of the democrats. i will hope to also speak to you again because i like having you on the show. thank you for joining me. >> thank you for having me. >> my pleasure. >>> when we come back, one of the country's top evangelicals who met with mitt romney a few days ago, franklin graham. and later, a man who's seen it all when it comes to elections. dan rather. when this hotel addec to provide a better benefits package... oahhh!

the countries not as friendly, but our best ally, britain. >> governor romney, tomorrow night, will turn to his strong point, the economy, linking it with foreign policy, saying you can't have a strong foreign policy without having a strong economy. president obama, over the last couple of days, has been making fun of governor romney's shift to the middle, saying he has rom ne-sia. here's what senator marco rubeo had to say to president obama about that earlier today. >> what is your plan? where's the president's plan to save medicare? where's the president's plan on taxes? where's the president's plan on energy? why isn't he talking about those things? >> with the exception of governor romney doing a ceremonial stay on the coin tosh campaigns are hunkered down for tomorrow night. and tuesday starts a two-week, all-out push to get out the vote before the election day. >> reporter: >> shannon: the final sprint. thank you, john. joiningitous discuss what mitt romney needs to do in the debate, ed rollins, republican strategist the federal reagan/bush ticket. this is it. the final debate. ed, what

tomorrow night, president obama, mitt romney will face off in their third, and the last one, the final debate. the sole focus in that debate will be foreign policy and national security. there's a lot of topics that we're talking about here. what i want to talk, though, is about libya and specifically the attack on the consulate there in ben gghaz benghazi. usually we talk about international affairs in debates like this, but this is an area that he could be caught and mitt romney may win some points, right? >> if you look at the polls, it seems that president obama has a slight edge when it comes to foreign policy. so some analysts say this is an opportunity for mitt romney to come after him for the way they handled the after math of this attack t shifting explanations that it was simply a reaction to a video and he could go after the perceived strength of president obama on national security policy, based on getting osama bin laden killed. by going after him and saying this is a lack of leadership, he did not provide security for this ambassador, you tried to shift your positions to

we're watching in the "newsroom," round two, obama and romney. tomorrow night's debate, do or die. >>> plus this -- >> sometimes you have to get up really high to see how small you are. i'm going home now. >> amazing. a free fall from near outer space reaching 833 miles per hour. felix baumgartner blazes past the speed of sound and into the history books. >>> e-refund. e-book readers rejoice. a refund check might be in the mail. >>> and yankee pain. first a-rod. then jeter. now empty seats? it's bad when you can't sell out a playoff game. a playoff game. "newsroom" starts now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> good morning. thank you so much for being with us. i'm carol costello. we start with round two. the big presidential debate. you guessed it. you will not see mitt romney or the president on the campaign trail today. because the clock is ticking. romney in massachusetts prepping for the debate. obama in virginia. it is their last full day to get ready for the big night tomorrow night. a night some say could make or break this year's election. well, the president did t

with romney tomorrow, e.j. dionne writing in "the washington post," obama doesn't have to look angry or agitated, he simply needs to invite voters to see that romney, the product, will give them no clue as to what romney, the person, might do as president. romney keeps changing the packaging because he knows that the policies inside the box are not what voters are looking for. can you do that on the debate stage? >> well, i think the challenge for obama really is going to be not to overcorrect from the last performance. you know, i think there's a lot of monday morning quarterbacks who told him exactly what he did wrong and what he really needs to do is go out there and be himself and not try to speak to the critics but speak to the voters. i liked the detail in "the times" story that he did debate prep in a place with three golf courses but did not bring his clubs. i don't know, maybe he should have brought them. i think he should have relaxed a little bit more. >> doing his debate prep in virginia, right? which is a swing state. >> swing state. there was a ferrari owners convention

did not do as well as the governor. what are you expecting from governor romney tomorrow night? >> i expect him to continue to do what he has been doing, articulate a pro growth message, category by category, and explain how it leads to growth in jobs. if you look at the economic report of the president, under president obama, he claims he can create 12 million jobs. seriously, does any economist believe the policies he's proposing could lead to that? i think that's the kind of tension you'll see. >> another topic of much debate is the fiscal cliff. christine lagarde has been warning about it. she talked about it again. we'll have that interview coming up when i saw her this weekend in japan. how can both sides come together on this issue? you know, if we constantly see fighting on both sides of the aisle, nothing gets done. >> you're absolutely right. we should not be going through this. we first have a crisis of leadership. and i think what governor romney said, look f he's elected president, he'll work with the congress to get a tax plan and a budget plan that meets the objectives

, it is free. >>> president obama and mitt romney get ready for another showdown tomorrow night. a poll shows another change in the candidates' momentum.

mitt romney tomorrow should mention ohio. i think he should address it directly. people here are no different than the people in cleveland and columbus and cincinnati. i think he has to go directly, this is his only chance to do it with a national audience. he has to talk about the day-to-day concerns of day-to-day americans. it's not are you better off than you were four years ago, is america better off than it was four years ago. >> frank luntz, thank you very much. >> pleasure. >>> syria's government this morning is promising to repair historic mosque in aleppo damaged in this week's fighting. last night on "60 minutes" clarissa ward reported from aleppo it is the scene of some of the worst violence in syria's civil war. she found islamist militants are now taking charge in some rebel-held areas. ward confronted one leader who told her captured government soldiers had been treated fairly. but, in fact, they'd actually been executed. >> when we went back, we looked at some of the video clips that your men had given us. and i wonder if you could take a look at this one and t

showdown between president obama and governor mitt romney. tomorrow is final debate on foreign policy could michael or break the election now, only 16 days away. at stake momentum with millions of voters expected to tune in. there is a brand-new "wall street journal" poll showing just how tight this race is. take a look. president obama and governor romney tied at 47% among likely voters. john roberts is live at the site in boca raton, florida. what is the race looking like there? >> vast looking very tight. you mentioned the "wall street journal" poll. that is a battle ground states. this is where things could change. we were talking about how important these debates are. it's difficult to overstate because unlike most election cycles these debates have been moving the numbers. the goal for governor romney is to hang on those solid gains he has made since the first debate three weeks ago. he has been heavily involved in debate prep, hunkered down for last couple of days. took some time out to attend church with his wife. then earlier this afternoon presided over a ceremonial coin toss at a

blunt advice for president obama as he prepares for tomorrow night's rematch against mitt romney. james carville laid it all out in a democracy for memo reading. saying the campaign has reached a tipping point where we believe e president has to offer a bold narrative, policies and choice if he is to win reelection and get to a substantial enough victory that enables him to govern and face the great challenges ahead. let's talk more about that with ron bronstein, the editorial director of the "national journal." thanks for coming in. the obama campaign slogan is forward, but sounds like this memo out today says he's actually not focusing in enough on the future. do they have a point? >> that puts it very well. and i think they do have a point. you know, there are a lot of things that the president did not do in that first debate. but maybe the most glaring of all wathat he offered voters very little sense of what he would do if they gave him another four years. displayed passion at one point in the debate about blocking the romney/ryan agenda, but gave very little indication of his own

the president and mitt romney face off in the second debate tomorrow night. pressure is on the president to slow romney's momentum. we report from the site of tomorrow's big debate. >> president obama and mitt romney off the trail gearing up for the second round in the ring. tuesday night's showdown will be a town hall. audience members will be asking questions which have been reselected. neither candidate held many campaign events like this recently. with intense prep, this could bring challenges. >> both candidates have to tread lightly. if they are going on the open oh fence too aggressively, that can spill into the audience and make them look too combattive. >> the president was widely criticized after the first debate. the campaign says he's made ajufments. >> i think it's going to be aggressive in making the case for his view of where we should go as a country. >> both candidates spent the week hunkered down. romney in boston. the president in williamsburg, virginia. >> democrats hoping for nothing less tomorrow night. they'll find a huge spike among romney supporters for the first time ah

are under way as president obama and mitt romney face off in their second debate tomorrow evening. here now for a sneak peek inside president obama's playbook, robert acosta of the national review. what are team romney telling you and insiders telling you about this town hall meeting? >> mitt romney may have excelled in that first presidential debate in denver, larry. tomorrow, it's a totally different format at hofstra university. tonight, what mitt romney is doing tonight is prepping and talking about how he will engage in voters and have empathy. >> you know, obama doesn't really answer question, i don't care what the forum is, gives lectures. if mitt romney answers questions and has empathy, i think he does. obama's comeback could be overrated. >> that's exactly correct. you know who's working witonigh is for romney to be himself from senator portman. not to try too hard to appeal to people but come harvad with the answers. >> do you expect with regard to this aggressive obama i keep reading about, do you expect obama to be aggressive in an insulting negative way? will he bring up the 4

ahead of tomorrow night's second debate. mitt romney expecting to see a very different president obama this time around. >>> the historic jump of flying felix baumgartner, safely back on earth now after breaking the sound barrier during a fall from the edge of space. >>> and new treatment this morning for the pakistani girl targeted by the taliban. that's after tens of thousands took to the streets to show their support. >>> and a controversial call that helped the tigers take a big lead in the series against the yankees. needless to say, the home team didn't like it at all. >>> good morning, everyone. we begin this monday with the race for the white house and our just-released poll providing a brand new snapshot of an ever-so-close contest. >> indeed. it all comes with eyes on two big deadlines. one day until the second presidential debate. and 22 days to go until election day. november 6th. tahman bradley is following it all in washington and has this live report for us. good morning to you, tahman. >> reporter: good morning, rob and paula. these candidates understand the stakes. tha

tomorrow night what, do romney and obama need to do in the final 16 days? >> two different polls over the last few days have romney down one in ohio so he gained a lot of in ohio. i love people always say he's behind in ohio. we've just seen him move by five to seven points. he could move another three our four. he's generally outperformed. its hard to believe he's going to trail his national vote in ohio by -- what romney has to do tomorrow is be presidential. less the challenger, less the prosecutor and be the next president. a foreign policy debate, voters don't have checklists. argue agree with me on abortion, on guns, are you for tax cuts or saving medicare. most voters have a kind of firm view about what should be done and negotiating strategy for iran. they want to see, especially for a challenger to win, they want to see him as someone who is up to being president. with the judgment, maturity, knowledge, toughness but sort of soundness, to be president. i think for romney, if he can be the next president of the united states and not a guy who is arguing with the current presid

morning, eric. >> governor romney who you have advised, what should he say to president obama tomorrow night? >> the tragedy that occurred in benghazi is a debacle for not only the administration's foreign policy before the attack and after the attack, it's also emblematic of the failed world view, its inability to understand what's going on in the middle east and the threats that the united states, israel, and our arab friends face and inindicative of a larger problem globally. i think for governor romney to articulate a peace through strength through foreign policy will be a substantial contrast with what the obama administration has failed to achieve. >> everyone's focusing on benghazi at the moment. before we get to this, talk about the world view. look at egypt turning his back on must b mu.you've got russia,e islamists. tell me more about your view of that world view and how you think mr. romney could define it tomorrow. >> well, i think this goes to the basic issue of america's place in the world. do you think as president obama does that america's too strong, that we've had too

obama and mitt romney, staying behind closed doors as they prepare for tomorrow night's debate. after joking that his debate prep was a, "drag." president obama showed supporters at a campaign office in a weekend of virginia that he is hitting the books. john kerry is standing in for romney. the president's team vowed that they would up their performance after the first time around. >> i think he'll be aggressive in making the case for his view of where we should go as a country. >> mitt romney was only seen briefly during his preparations, heading in and out of church yesterday. the ohio senator says that the romney campaign is getting ready to rumble. >> i think president obama will come out swinging. he'll have to compensate for a poor first debate. and that will be consistent with what they have been doing in this whole campaign. >> now, one thing the candidates do agree on is the moderator. now according to time magazine, both campaigns complained to the commission about the presidential debate that the cnn broke the rule after letting the audience ask the question. both parties

for tomorrow night on that stage, big foreign policy showdown. but romney did take a break today to go out and hud well his campaign team which played a game of football against a-- on the beach. >> reporter: romney did a coin toss, and jokingly coached his team in the huddle. >> figure out which player is best and take him out early. >> and went back to his hotel for more debate prep. last night he held his final fund-raiser as new figures show the two campaigns are on pace to spend a combined $1 billion on the race. through september the obama campaign had raised a total of $558 million, and had spent a total of $462 million. romney's campaign had raised $357 million, and spent $294 million. but outside spending from independent groups favors romney to to -- two-to-one and erases the president's money advantage. the race now a dead heat. expectations are high for the third and final debate. this one on foreign policy and moderated by cbs's bob schieffer. with the candidates off the trail sunday schieffer on face the nation moderated a dust up between two advisors, obama campaign official

on to the presidential race and a look at who is talking. the second debate against president obama and mitt romney will take place tomorrow night at long island new york. the president faces criticism after the first debate for what many said was a poor performance. >> following that show down mitt romney saw a surge in the polls as we are seeing right now. the talk show circuit both campaigns are out in full force talking about the strategies ahead of the debate. previewing what will be a more aggressive approach. listen here. >> i think the president nobody is a harsher critic than himself. he viewed the tape. he will make adjustments on tuesday. i am not going to get into detail about strategic changes that he might make. i encourage you to watch and show up. i think it will be an interesting debate. he will be aggressive in making the case for his view of where we should go as a country in a country that is built around a growing, thriving middle class for t not this top down theory romney has. >>> the debate preparation for mitt romney is talking this morning. he expects the president to take

next guest says romney has clear momentum going to the debate tomorrow evening but as president obama who still has the advantage on likability. fox news contributor. let's start wi that debate. what happened in the first? some sort of an anomaly defining imagination, weren't those two impressis of the two men and their abilities? >> think it was certain extent. a president confident in himself hdid not take the time to prepare. do not have much of a game plan going into the debate d it showed, he thought he could win it. but he didn't have to study very hard. he gs in and he bombs. lou: i know that is the view from lofty heights you are well acquaied with. but i have to say i don't see the basis for the viewpoint. i've not been able to read a single thing written by this president that would suggest in any way its minority over governor romney i could not find it anywhere. secondly i nnot find any basis to cla this president has eer been a very good debater. leaving people all struck with his skill, his languag his presentation. it just hasn't happened. that is the guy i saw show up.

obama and mitt romney will debate domestic and foreign policy tomorrow. and it's that format that could favor one of them. >>> and on the eve of that debate secretary of state hillary clinton makes an admission about the benghazi attack that killed bay area native and u.s. ambassador chris stevens. >>> i'm jeff ranieri in the nbc bay area weather center. we're tracking showers off to the north getting close to the bay area. we'll detail if we'll have any of that. >>> plus with major warming in the forecast, air quality will suffer the most by thursday. we'll let you know when 90s return in just a few minutes. measures... measure up. money to our schools.

voters in tonight's chalk talk. president obama prepping a way for tomorrow's debate, governor romney reportedly skipping debate prep to show up at a paul ryan campaign event. is he getting a little cocky? we will talk to stephen hayes next. look, if you have copd like me, you know it can be hard to breathe, andow that feels. copd includes chroni bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms by keeping my airways open for 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatmenthat does both. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace fast-acng inhalers for sudden sytoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glauca, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medines you take, even eyerops. stop taking spiriva and seek timmediate medical helppiriva. if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision cnges or eye pain, or problems passg urine. other side eects include dry mouth and constition. nothin

will almost certainly up on president obama and mitt romney in their final debate tomorrow in florida. in the last debate, the president in a brazenly biased moderator, ambushed romney on ben berks making it seem that obama had said from the start that terrorist choreographed the attack. in fact, he characterized it as a reaction to a little-known anti-muslim video. even as evidence to the contrary emerges, the obama team is sticking to their script. meanwhile, media accounts are confusing, as the major parties, the white house, cia and the state department, compete with one another to leak their versions of the benghazi puzzle. the president may invoke a fog of war argument to make his version credible and romney's bid for the presidency, may hang on that point -- who will be believable? the associated press reports that within 24 hours ever the attack -- of the, attack, the cia station chief told his superiors in washington that islamic militants, not protesters, had carried out the siege. as for cia director david petraeus, he is reporting to calibrate the story to whatever the whi

at tomorrow's town hall style debate. romney had practice with this format with recent stops on the trail. the president took part in one town hall in nine months. the president needs a knock jouts performance at the second showdown. >> 67 million people watched that debate. a historic number back in denver. the number i predict i think with great confidence that the number is higher on tuesday because a lot of people in the country want to know, if barack obama going to rise to this challenge or not? >> let's bring in patrick gaspar, dnc executive director, former white house director for the obama administration. patrick, great pleasure having you on. we played a clip from john hileman earlier and we played one from him as well saying when this it president has faced adversity and challenges, he always in john hileman's assertion has come out victorious in this. ho how will the president meet the challenges of this debate? >> thanks for having me on, tamron. >> sure. >> john hileman is completely right about the president's past performances. he improves steadily over the course of a ca

to reassert himself to energize his base and show he was not going to back down to mitt romney. mitt romney is going to get the first question tomorrow night. they'll both have a chance then to answer the question and then there will be a discussion on it. this is going to be about foreign policy largely, but we can't forget about the economy. that will be a major theme tomorrow night. one of the themes when it comes to foreign policy surely is going to be this report from "the new york times" about how the u.s. has been in discussions about having one-on-one meetings with iran right after the elections. now, the administration has said that that, in fact, is not true. mitt romney was asked about it and he chose not to address the question. lindsay graham was on the talk shows this morning and he talked about it. >> i think the iranians are taking advantage of our election cycle to continue. they continue to enrich. >> reporter: won't just be about iran. it's going to be about afghanistan and pakistan. it's going to be about the new middle east and the new threat of terror from that region

an issue again in tomorrow's presidential debate between president obama and mitt romney. the assault on the u.s. consulate in benghazi, libya, the one that left four americans dead, including the u.s. ambassador, provided much fodder for political attacks recently, especially during the sunday talk shows. >> there was no way that you could believe ten days after the attack it was based on a riot that occurred. there was no riot at all. to say that you are either very incompetent or -- >> we don't need wing-tipped cowboys. we don't need shoot from the hip diplomacy, and when mitt romney first responded to what was going on in libya, his own party called him out for insensitivity. >> he was responding to egypt. >> no, no, no. let me be clear. he was responding to libya, and he has done nothing but politicize this issue when what we need to do is find out what happened and do that as americans, not as democrats and republicans. >> and cnn political director mark preston joining us now from the debate site at hofstra university. mark, this, of course, is the town hall format. different t

he can sell effectively tomorrow night? >> governor romney has said that he doesn't want those issues to be dealt with in a lame-duck session. the sequestration vote which is $500 billion in defense cuts, $500 billion in cuts to social programs and discretionary spending, they would have to be kicked down the road until after he got inaugurated. i think it is one of the most powerful arguments he has always had, which is to say that before the campaign, he was going to be post partisan and bring the capital the other and move us past of the mindless polarization of the last 20 years. you and i both know that there is plenty of blame to go round, republicans have opposed president obama throughout his term. president obama has not worked with capitol hill with republicans or democrats particularly well. he was the one that promised to fix it in his campaign. he brought this up with his convention speech and he is bringing it home, the simple argument of why would a voter think that the next four years, president obama will make washington work together? why will he be able to work with

in the lead going into tomorrow night's presidential debate. 49 percent said they would vote for romney while 47 percent said they prefer president obama. the difference is still within the margin of error. the presidential debate tomorrow night will be shown in its entirety on a 247 news channel comcast financial measures. >> you're probably going to lose more of your hair >> i'll be bald as a billiard ball. >> high use deal? >> i am not going to mind at all. >> that was david video from 2008. after a battle with non hodgkin's lymphoma what he has passed away. specter served in the senate for 30 years. in 2009 he was one of the few republicans to vote for the stimulus bill. he was driven to the democratic party where he lost the primary. here as a live look at the golden gate bridge. there is a return of the fog. is currently 55 degrees in san francisco. it should have a high of 72 later on this afternoon. >> police are investigating an overnight shooting death in east oakland around 1:00 a.m.. a man in his 20s was shot 13 times. police did not think it was a drive by and they have not found

's debate may have just been the appetizer. when president obama and mitt romney face off tomorrow night expect them to pick up on china and libya following tuesday. >> on the day following the united states ambassador, the first time that's happened in 1979 when we have four americans killed there, when apparently we didn't know what happened, that the president the day after that happened flies to las vegas for political fund-raiser. >> and the suggestion that anybody in my team, whether the secretary of state, our u.n. ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we've lost four of our own, governor, is offensive. that's not what we do that's not what i do as president. >> also on the agenda tomorrow night. terrorism, the war in afghanistan, israel, and iran. unlike their first two face-offs, this time the two candidates will be sitting around the table along with the moderator bob schieffer of cbs. they joked about how they're prepariing for their final showdown. >> let me tell you what i do. first first refrain from alcohol for 65 years before the debate. >> i

heading into tomorrow night's second presidential debate, consider this. the last time these two men met it changed the tenor of the race, gave a boost to romney, and forced a re-assessment of the president's performance. and look at two of the latest national polls of likely voters, both politico and "the washington post" show the national numbers are within the margin of error. that is why when the two meet at hofstra, we begin with peter alexander at the debate meeting, peter, good evening. >> reporter: brian, good evening to you, let me show you inside this debate hall. once again, mitt romney will be in the seat on the left, the president gets the seat on the right. i was just down there on set and the paint is actually still wet. tomorrow night, both men will have a chance to debate, with many undecided. after a weekend limited brief sightings, mitt romney left church services, and today, both candidates are again studying quietly. president obama at this exclusive williamsburg, virginia, hotel, wrapping up what debate experts call the debate coaching. on the eve of his lackluster

gets where he's at. tomorrow night will either be a tie or where a slight romney advantage on top what happened. that will carry the race on for one more oweek. if obama comes in, against my expectations, is as bad as he was notice first debate, this is over. i mean, he will not recover from two consecutive disasters. >> greta: how could he have it as bad as last time? >> well, falls the facts are moving against him. i describe this race right now, the problem for obama is five words -- unemployment, banghazi, and big bird, adding up to a hard sell for him. banghazi gets worlds and worldse and worse, the lies get deeper in. the vice presidential debate, biden lied about banghazi. unemployment stays bad. one of the reasons unemployment looked better for one week was that california hadn't filed 33,000 jobs, which is truly weird. then you look at gasoline prices. california was i think, peaked aat $5.87 a gal last week. anweek. >> greta: the strategy since the last campaign largely has been to criticize governor romney, saying he's a liar. i suspect tomorrow the president 8 come out -- n

likability, as you can see. well ahead of romney. does he risk that likability by going in tomorrow and throwing some punches? >> to a certain extent, but i happen to think that's a little bit of an overrated concern because you saw the opposite. you saw, i think, the strategy the last time was to preserve the likability. entirely different problem developed, and that is the guy just looked weak. he looked like he didn't have any fight, didn't have any life in him. i think there's a hope on viewers' parts they're going to he see the guy has some blood in his veins. if that means pressing romney harder, if that means raising questions about romney's tax plan that he didn't raise in the first debate very aggressively, i think that's a chance at this point -- >> the 47% for example. >> being too nice just gave romney one of the biggest debate bounces we've ever seen. >> maria teresa, in the first debate we heard very little about issues specifically affecting women. now, do you think those issues will get more attention tomorrow night, particularly with romney appearing to do better in

to win every day, greta. i mean tomorrow is a new day. tonight was a great night for governor romney, but tomorrow is another day. we need to get to work and do the groundwork, go neighborhood by neighborhood in ohio and iowa and west wisconsin, virginia, florida, make the phone calls and get the work done. i happen to believe the winner is the winner on the ground, the person who has the best ground game, the campaign that can get it done on the ground is the campaign that will win. we believe we've got a better ground game than the democrats. that's what we're worried about right now. >> greta: mr. chairman, thank you, sir. >> thank you. >> greta: be sure to join us again at midnight for a special hour of "on the record." karl rove, pat buchanan and our political panel will be right here. we'll see you at midnight. so drink some coffee.

axelrod, mitt romney's politicizing the death of four american ambassadors but tomorrow, this is yesterday, tomorrow we're going to send drones over and fix this. >> yeah. yeah. makes no sense. >> i also think that the campaign, the romney campaign has been relatively quiet about this, but who has pressed on it finally? jumperrists that cover this, and as every little story gets taken out there, and the civil servants of the state department are furious because they've been made to look foolish. the intel community is mad because they were thrown under the bus, and the reporters will give them more lee way to speak on background as they try to get more information out. i think that will continue. >> you know, the fact is that in 2020 hindsight it's great. requests for things like additional security at embassies come in every day to the state department. i worked there and i can tell you. there's absolutely no reason that gets handed off to the president of the united states. none. it would not make its way into the white house. it should have made its way the day after he was killed, but

nominee mitt romney are set to go face-to-face tomorrow hofstra university hempstead, long island, new york. today the candidates stayed out of the spotlight really. hunkered down as the campaigns put it doing debate prep. both sides well aware of how vital this one is. spokesman for the obama campaign says he knows mitt romney had a better night than he in the first debate. his team says look for the president to get more energized this time around. that's the word they are using now. polls show governor romney got a boost from first debate performance, no question. his campaign is obviously looking to keep that trend going. one of his senior advisors says tomorrow the romney team expects the president to, quote: launch one attack after another in an attempt to distract from his record and make up for his weak performance in denver. however, the format of tomorrow's debate could make that pretty difficult. you see, it's a town hall with both men answering questions that are submitted by the audience. so they may have fewer opportunities to actually take direct jabs at one another. bu
