. in this debate, they're going to be relying on crazy uncle joe biden for damage control. good luck with that loose cannon. >> take a look at the facts. it cuts education by $450 billion. $2600 less in social security. 19 million people off medicaid. 200,000 children off early education. save $156 billion right off the bat. >> jon: who are you and what have you done with crazy joe biden? you're going to reach in your pants and out [bleep]. not only was biden not his lovable gaffe-tasti tic tour he must have uppedded his prescription because he was fact-checking this debate in realtime. >> 7.4 million seniors are projected to lose the current medicare advantage coverage they have. that's a $3200 benefit cut. what we're saying... >> more people signed up it's a plan i put together with a prominent democrat senator >> there's not one democrat who endorses it >> we put it together with former clinton budget director >> who disavows you can cut taxes by 20% and still... >> not mathematically possible. ( cheers and applause ) >> jon: he was just throwing them all out there. sorry, paul. n

? >> did joe biden stock the romney wave? >> you're going to win? >> yes. >> the washington over benghazi. >> you ask him for the son, you'll get the stars. >> i hope the court rules that a student's race and ethnicity should not apply when applying to university. >> paul ryan got the edge in the vice-presidential debate. and an instant cbs will give it to joe biden. new york times said it was a debate with clarity and fervor, and the washington post -- the debate gave viewers a real boost. >> medicare and social zuccotti did so much for my own family. we will let jeopardize this -- medicare and social security did so much for my own family. we will not jeopardize this program. >> the bottom line is that people have to pay more money out of their pocket. >> talking points memo asked the question should obama supporters start freaking out? [laughter] did the vice president head off a freak out. >> i think he probably did. for the days, for the people who are cheering him on, he did with the president did not do the week before. he answered every single thing that iran had to say. i actuall

-president biden broadly criticized for generating to controversies and last night's debate. the first is hyperactive behavior and expressions throughout the evening, and the second to mesentery within the ggest issue now facing the entire obama presidency and other terrorist attacks in benghazi in the murders of our ambassador and three other americans. on the 1-month anniversary of the tragedy, the moderator of the debate, abc news correspondent asked mr. biden why the administration had initially talked about protests and demonstrations in benghazi when there were nine. he replied that that was what the intelligence community had told the white house. interjecting that the council had asked for more security. having blamed intelligence for the inial state, the vice president said he and president obama were not to blame for lack of security that the main factor they did notven know there have been a request for more security. >> we were told there was more security. we seven to 85 we said exactly what the intelligence units a list that they knew. lou: biden blaming the intelligence

a, should a, could a challenger? joe biden might have stopped the romney train, but he certainly revved up the democrats. and did biden's arguments on medicare and abortion rights also do some damage to the other side? president clinton is out there selling the case of the guy he hopes will be another president clinton's predecessor. he gave that great deal-making speech at the d.n.c. now he's out there on the campaign trail doing what obama didn't do last week -- exposing mitt romney's hard right baggage. with us today, "new york" magazine's john hileman, christian science monitor, liz liz, and henderson henderson from "the washington post," and from "the daily beast," andrew sullivan. thursday night's debate was everything the romney and obama presidential debate had not been. >> you can still preserve the important tant things for middle class taxpayers. >> it's not mathematically possible. >> it's not mathematically possible. it's never been done before. >> it's been done a couple of times. >> it has never been done. >> oh, now you're jack kennedy. >> this tuesday night it's

a great piece about the ass-whooping paul ryan got from joe biden. i swear the mainstream media need a story line so he opens with some say -- it's the same as fox news. some say joe biden was over the top. >> yeah. and yet mitt romney wasn't over the top when he kept interrupting and running over jim lehrer and all of that. that was perfectly fine. he wasn't drunk and he wasn't -- he didn't have dementia or anything like that. >> stephanie: yeah exactly. it is amazing. i love at least the one guy on the show was like what are you talkin' about? he crushed paul ryan. >> the thing about biden he knew how to use the split screen. obama didn't take advantage of that. >> right. you know, for a little while there, i wondered what's he doing here with the smile and the laughs? and after awhile, it just started to get this message of -- don't take this boy seriously. >> stephanie: you know what it is? joe biden watched the president's debate and went -- how do you combat that many lies and position changes at

a clue. and that biden didn't have a clue. it. it is inconceivable within 48 hours they didn't know what was going on. clearly they had sent a signal, the state department put in four stations for volts at embassies in europe. if the state department can find money to send marines to islands in the caribbean where they are premarely guarding i assume against drunk vacationers on a friday night but they couldn't find any money for benghazi, i think it is because obama had this fantasy having killed bin laden he could claim they have defeated al-qaeda and therefore he didn't want to deal with. he has consciously avoided being honest about the level of the threat. i thought the line that the cbs correspondent had earlier, that is a tremendously powerful opening for the show. >> mike: yes, it is. >> and i thought the segment with her and with congressman meehan is an amazing capture of where we are and it was repeated by the state department official who testified and he said the taliban in his mind is inside the government. she used the phrase taliban apologists. i think it is dedicated to

't have a clue, and that biden didn't have a clue. it's inconceivable in 48 hours that they didn't know what was going on. i want to start there. clearly they had sent a signal, the state department is the one to put in four stations volts and bought volts to go to europe and found money to send marines to islands in the caribbean and guarding, i assume, against drunk vacationers on friday night, but couldn't find any money for benghazi, and i think that's because obama had this fantasy, having killed bin laden, he could claim they had defeated al-qaeda and he didn't want to deal with and he's consciously going to be honest about the level of the threat. i thought the line that the cbs correspondent had earlier, a tremendously powerful opening to the show and i thought that segment you did with her, and then with the congressman meehan, an amazing capture of where we are. and she said something i'd never heard before that's pretty accurate and repeated by the state department official who testified, and that is that when he said the taliban in his mind is inside the government, and i th

on what that was. >> we have done three sessions and they all concluded the same thing, that joe biden did well on the substance, but they were so angry with his style and want more that you split screen the two of them where they could see biden's interruptions and smiling and the laughing, it's funny i actually wrote down on my note, don't interrupt and don't smile. they didn't want that from the vice president. and he could have gained points. but not a single person in any session switched. there the previous debate, we had about a third our group switched. >> schieffer: when you say your sessions, what were these focus groups? what exactly was this? how are you measuring this? >> we take undecide voters in a number of dyfferent cities in the key swing states b30 people, and they react second by second, using dials. in and in almost every biden's style scores did better than ryans and yet when you startlet discussion the first thing they said is, "why was he interrupting? why was he seeming to go overboard? he was passionate but he went too far." >> at the risk of interrupting, you kno

at that table that joe biden was so aggressive. >> bill: v.p. debate moderator martha raddatz said she felt uneasy with joe biden's behavior. will that hurt the ticket? we have analysis with brit hume. >> the administration has conceded these attacks were the deliberate work of terrorists. >> bill: is mitt romney politicizing the murder of four americans in libya or is he raising a crucial question? why won't the obama administration tell us what happened? we will have a special report on this controversial. -- controversy. also tonight watters world goes to hollywood where people are giving big money to the obama campaign. >> how much are the tickets. >> mine was 25,000. >> 25,000? >> bill: this addition carolla and goldberg will be here causing trouble. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. hi, i'm bill o'reilly, thanks for watching us tonight. assessing the presidential election with three weeks to go. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. the real clear polling average is a tie between president obama and mitt romney. and tha

that biden won it. >> i think he was told to get in there, make some commotion because he had ground to make up for. that's just a fact. i think if you're looking for the vice president to try to save the day, there's a problem. >> if obama has a performance like he had a couple weeks ago i don't believe it's possible for him to win the election. i don't know how he can possibly have another performance like that and expect to win. how could anybody be so stupid to vote for him if he performs like that again? >> we're moving rapidly to the second and third act to find out how this plays out. the president has to be on his game in the next debate debate or it could slide even more for him. >> even if he changes his style whatever political tactic the president settles on, he can't change his record and can't change his policies. the wind is at governor romney's back, you can see it on the trail, in the debate. >> the reality of the race on the ground is we're ahead. it's narrower than before the last debate, but we feel good about where we are have a great ground game going a great debate on

debate to do. let's talk about joe biden for a minute. let's go back to the debate. >> we knew that "saturday night live" would not -- >> four years ago, president obama made a promise. >> [ laughter ] >> that he would bring down unemployment below 6%. >> this guy -- i mean -- >> that's funny. and they were dead on. i have to say, do you think this will be old news by tuesday, lz? >> well, it's old news now. once you've been sn lech nchlsn same and sarah palin and tina fey, i still watch the clips. >> in terms of having a more immediate impact and the way people view the debate and the way people view joe biden but not the debates or the future debates. >> i totally disagree. i know you didn't want to ask me this don, but you said it. we ussed to view debates through the prism of when they happened, our impressions and then the spin room afterwards and now we have the forever in the internet where you think it's impacted and you're kidding yourself if you don't think people view this as parody and they go with this. >> good or bad, guess who people are talking about? they're ta

about joe biden. let's go back to last week's debate. we knew "saturday night live" would have some fun, and it didn't disappoint. take a look. >> first of all, i want to thank center college for hosting us this evening. >> oh, boy. here we go. oh, man. >> four years ago president obama made a promise that he would bring down unemployment below 6%. >> oh, this guy, i mean -- >> that's funny. they were dead on. i have to say. do you think this is going to be old news by tuesday, lz? >> well, it's old news now. once you've been "snl'd," it's pretty much out of the news cycle. >> oh, come on, sarah palin -- sar czar palin and tina fey, you still can't get enough of that. i still watch the clips. >> i mean in terms of the way people view the debate. not necessarily the future debates. >> no, i totally disagree. i totally disagree. i know you didn't want to ask me this, don. you said it just now. we used to view debates through the prism of when they happen. our impressions and then the spin room afterwards but now we have this forever called the internet where things are mashed up and parod

that the vice presidential race was probably a draw on substance, but the republicans think that joe biden's kind of over the top behavior helped them because the country is not happy with the division in politics and the lack of respect that one shows for the other. i don't know how that plays out. i have always believed that vice presidential debates are kind of a separate factor. one doesn't move the other. the president has got to be on his game in this next debate. or it could slide even more for him. on the democratic side, they do think some of the movement is overstated at this point. on the other hand, look at what they are going to do next week in ohio. they are going to have the big dog and the boss tour. clinton and bruce springsteen appearing together. that's an attempt to really kind of stop whatever movement there is toward governor romney in ohio, which is going to be a battleground state as it always is. >> you know, sometimes it's criticism and sometimes it's fair that there's too much focus in these debates on style over substance. substantively, mitt romney is getting a

something yourself? life is calling. how far will you go? peace corps. >> chris: i'm chris wallace, biden versus ryan is in the books. now, it is the debate rematch, for obama and romney. [♪] >> chris: with just 23 days, until the election, can the and -- come back from a bad night, and regain the upper hand? we'll talk with his campaign senior strategist, david axelrod. then, governor romney tries to build on his first debate, and continue his surge in the polls. we'll ask senior advisor, ed gillespie, how romney hopes to keep the momentum going, axelrod and ed gillespie, only on fox news sunday and also, more questions about the deadly terror attack on americans in libya. we'll ask our sunday panel about warnings the obama administration ignored, about the security threat in benghazi. and, the candidates learn the heat is on in the kitchen and on the trail. all, right now, on fox news sunday. ♪ >> chris: and, hello, again, from fox news in washington. with two presidential debates, in the next 8 days, and the polls getting much tighter, we may be reaching the decisive moment in the

, working hard today. vice president biden is in the sunshine state and is still speaking at a rally in st. augustine, where he went after mitt romney, accusing him of shifting positions on one too many times and too many issues. congressman paul ryan has events in a pair of battleground states, pennsylvania and ohio, to start the day. in pennsylvania this morning, ryan framed this election as a choice. take a listen. >> look, we have a very clear choice. america cannot afford four more years of president obama's failed policies. we need real reforms for a real recovery to get people back to work, to get this kpli going again, to get us back on the path to reaching our ideal. >> early voting started in nevada today. all together, early voting is underway in the 29 states across the country plus washington, d.c. more on all these stories throughout the next three hours. definitely stay with us. all right, vice president biden in florida today, in st. augustine, where he's holding a campaign rally. let's listen to what he said moments ago. >> when my dad had to leave scranton for a year, to

for joining us this morning live in baltimore. >>> vice president joe biden is at it again. republicans are pouncing on another comment biden made on the campaign trail. we'll ask you if that comment was out of line. i'm a conservative investor. i invest in what i know. i turned 65 last week. i'm getting married. planning a life. there are risks, sure. but, there's no reward without it. i want to be prepared for the long haul. i see a world bursting with opportunities. india, china, brazil, ishares, small-caps, large-caps, ishares. industrials. low cost. every dollar counts. ishares. income. dividends. bonds. i like bonds. ishares. commodities. diversification. choices. my own ideas. ishares. i want to use the same stuff the big guys use. ishares. 8 out of 10 large, professional investors choose ishares for their etfs. introducing the ishares core, etfs for the heart of your portfolio. tax efficient and low cost building blocks to help you keep more of what you earn. call your advisor. visit ishares.com. ishares. ishares. yeah, ishares. call 1-800-ishares for a prospectus which includes

to the occasion. i am not into hot psychology, but what does this have to do with the fact that joe biden put some heat on him? that he was so good, he -- democrats believe that joe biden was so good that the president needs to step up his game cannot be i shined by his own vice president. >> some of that is true. and the other thing that biden did for president obama, reaction is split upon partisan ryan's -- lines. republicans thought he was rude and kind of a jerk. democrats thought he he was all part and they loved it. that has been one of the debates were the reactions were split pretty much down party lines. what he did more importantly is he through the kitchen sink at paul ryan. every argument he can possibly make. 47%, medicare, taxes, abortion. and what the obama team has done over the last year for days is they have showed that to a lot of focus groups and a lot of voters. they look to try to find out which of those arguments at home and which of those at attraction. allowing the president to cherry pick from his performance the homing on issues that seem to have the most traction with

was actually hoping the president would bring joe biden along this evening, because he'll laugh at anything. >> i feel really well rested after the long nap i had in the first debate. i particularly want to apologize to chris matthews. four years ago i gave him a thrill up his leg. this time around i gave him a stroke. >> as president obama surveys the waldorf banquet room, with everyone in white tie and finery, you have to wonder what he's thinking. so little time, so much to redistribute. >> after my foreign trip in 2008 i was attacked as a celebrity, because i was so popular with our allies overseas. i have to say i'm impressed with how well governor romney has avoided that problem. >> in the spirit ofsesame street, the president's remarks are brought to you by the letter "o" and the number 16 trillion. >> i don't have a joke here. i thought it would be useful to remind everybody. >> we are lucky to have someone to lean on, i have my beautiful wife, ann. he has bill clinton. >> actually mitt is his middle name. i wish i could use my middle name. >> there have been awkward moments like wh

condolences to candy because it was a tough debate to do. let's talk about joe biden. let's go pack to last week's debate. we knew saturday night live would have some fun and it didn't disappoint. take a look. >> first of all, i want to thank center college for hosting us this evening. >> oh, boy. here we go. oh, man. >> four years ago president obama made a promise that he would bring down unemployment below 6%. >> this guy. >> that's funny. they were dead on. do you think this is going to be old news by tuesday, lz? >> well it's old news now. once you've been snl' ed it's pretty much out of the news cycle. >> sarah palin and tina fey you can't get enough of that. i still watch the clips. >> i mean in terms of way people int view the debate. >> i totally disagree. i know you didn't want to ask me this, don. you said it just now. we used to view debates through the prism of when they happen. now we have this internet. you're kidding yourself if you don't think that parity doesn't impact how people view this. >> good or bad, guess who people are talking about. they are talking about joe bide

biden lost in his debate because of dee way he handled it, where he was, you know -- everything was a laugh for him. >> every focus group shows that the voters are concerned that president obama isn't tough enough. >> exactly. >> he needed to show backbo, he needck to rally his base an he certainly did that. >> he did that. he did that. >> and joe biden did that as well. excuse me. i want to finish here. and the debates i agree with mort, you don't -- you don't need to smirk at me, mort. [ laughter ] >> i was smirking at buchanan. >> the debates are very critical in this internet age, the face-to-face captors are re really important, otherwise we might have had governor rick perry as the republican nominee. >> hold on, pat. >> let me make a point. >> go ahead. >> biden and obama both did , biden in , the second -- the president in the second debate, biden. but by rallying their base, just like republicans in their primaries rally their base, they damage themselves in the center and among women. look at homitt t romney ha moved among women in these two debates and how the biden

president joe biden. good to see you today. welcome to the full court press here on current tv, here on your local progressive station from our nation's capitol and our studio on capitol hill just down the street from the united states capitol building in the shadow of the capitol dome. i know you want to get right into the debate. we'll do that and take your calls at 1-866-55-press. for me, back from a quick overnight trip to san diego did a little debate with mike murphy in front of the american banker's association. thanks to john fugelsang for coming to fill in yesterday and good to be back with you and with the whole team here, peter hello. >> hey hey! >> dan running the board this morning with phil. >> good morning. >> handling the phones and cyprian on the cameras and here we are. how about it. boy, san diego's a beautiful town. >> that's what i've heard. >> never been there? >> i've never been to santiago. >> san diego. that's a different place. it's just a great town. it's beautiful and the weather is perfect. i've lived almost everywhere in california but canned craig, love going t

, but biden didn't make the case in the second debate. this is his crucial, maybe his most crucial asset next to african-americans as his base is the women's vote, and he could have taken it to them on lily ledbetter and equal pay. do you not support equal pay for women. he could have taken it to him on obama care. the most important thing about obama care is it means being a woman is no longer a pre-existing condition. we have contraceptive -- yeah! we have contraception. see, that's the line. >> women hear you and they didn't hear him the other night. look at this -- let me show you how extreme it is. >> women want to be brought into this race and they're not doing anything about it. >> i think he's failed to point out the true extremism of his opponents. >> absolutely. >> not just paul ryan. romney's running mate has an extreme position on abortion rights. he co-sponsored a bill with todd akin of all people who said human life begins at fertilization. he tried to soften his language last week but just barely. take a look at what he says. here is paul ryan. >> i believe that life begins at

and let you know. and that's what hilary and panetta and joe biden and susan rice. they all say the same thing and after that i heard nothing until i talked to the people in the med yampt absolutely nothing. >> what did the president say to you specifically and leon panetta and hillary clinton, did they say it was about a film. >> susan rice said it was specifically a film and not any terrorist attack and it was -- >> it was not a terrorist attack? >> she said that days afterwards when i saw her on tv. they told me it was three or four days later, all of those big shots were saying it was not a terrorist attack. >> it didn't get ride for me because of all of the other things i heard. i can't tell you specifics, everything just did not add up right. >> stereo >> steve: it started with axelrod and company. we are three weeks and one day from the election. obama team is trying to change the narrative back to, keep in mind al-qaida is dead. we heard two weeks ago it is not dead . so what they are trying to do. it started with a hoax. it was all about that darn video. and that's why susan ric

strap him on the roof of a car. of course, president obama wishes he could put joe biden on a car, too. the amtrak quiet car. [laughter] all kidding aside, one way both got us a ride are makig t -- both are making this a historic election is to have a roman catholic on both sides of the ballot. that is worth applauding. [applause] ladies and gentlemen, we get to hear from a man. i am pleased to present the 2012 republican nominee for president, governor mitt romney.

[ laughter ] >> i don't blame that baby for crying. that baby knows what's in store for him or her if romney wins. >> reporter: with biden seeking votes, the president is at camp david cramming for monday's debate where foreign policy will dominate. drew levinson, cbs news. >> you can watch the final presidential debate live on monday right here on cbs 5 starting at 6:00. the topic will be foreign policy. >>> six bank tellers broke out in hives after a customer deposited money wrapped inside a paper towel. it happened at a chase bank in modesto yesterday afternoon. the employees immediately felt itchy and had trouble breathing. they were rinsed down by emergency workers and taken to the hospital. they are expected to be okay. meanwhile, t

was the republicans immediately why all saying joe biden is smirking, he's smiling too much while the democrats said joe biden is being forceful and being tough. i think you'll see that kind of contrast. it depends on how close the debate is. in the first debate between mitt romney and obama viewed romney as better. but if this secretary ond debat close, interpretation will be important. if a voter asks a question, those are things that will be important to watch. what's said in twitter early on will help people define what they think about it. >> you have to look at it in the context of where we are now in this campaign. politico released its ten battleground states, romney leads 50 to 48%. colorado, florida, ohio rk virginia, wisconsin. is the romney comeback just part of a longer narrative, matt. is it something that helps going into this debate? does where we are really play into what voters think. >> i think he's had the best two weeks of his cam pain by far. he's had those two weeks and he's gotten to where it's finally almost a tie. he needs to keep the momentum going otherwise there will be

areas. you're right, they didn't bring it up a lot, although joe biden did. it's the one opening they thought biden exposed against paul ryan late in that debate. >> yeah, that was sort of -- it was done by his pushiness, if you will. biden kept pushing, pushing, until finally paul ryan broke and said what he really believed. a theocratic argument f you believe it morally you have to enforce it. which offends those in the middle and the left. howard, you heard something about colorado. >> in the spin room just now, jim messina, campaign manager, was talking before the debate. we have prespin before spin. he said colorado was key. i said, who are the undecide voters? he said one example is undecide women in colorado. he specifically focused on colorado because colorado is a place where those women are being cross-pressured. on the one hand they're open -- libertarian, open to the economic arguments of mitt romney. then on the other hand, by the same token, they don't want government telling them what to do with their own bodies. they're very strong on abortion. strong on women's r

and the sense of, i guess the colloquial sense of spirit, showing spirit in a debate, did joe biden do anything to sort of lay the ground for president obama to be more aggressive, to have a more spirited presence in tonight's debate than he did in the first one? >> well, we all, i think, agree. left right and center agree on what happened in that debate. joe biden won sheerly because of his energy level. he didn't win clean, he didn't win without getting some scratches on him. it was almost like joe frazier beat muhammad ali, but he couldn't show his face for two days because he got beat up winning. joe biden fought a tough fight, but won because of one thing, his spirited nature of his soul in that fight. he believed in what he was doing, he believed in president obama, and the other guy was an intellectual who believed intellectually in thing, but he didn't have that gut, visceral connection to the fight. and that's why biden won. he can certainly teach that to obama. i always say, he's the guy who put the apostfree in obama. give him that fighting irish spirit. the first debate this year, p

battleground states today, though. congressman paul ryan stumped in ohio. vice president joe biden campaigned in st. augustine, florida. a battleground florida. that state looks like a virtual tie right now. a new cnn/orc international poll finds 49% of likely florida voters support romney, 48% support president obama. the one-point difference is within the poll's margin of error. president obama and mitt romney scrambling to pull ahead in the race for florida's 29 electoral votes, of course. well, vice president joe biden zeroed in on florida today. biden stumped, as i said, in st. augustine and hit on some very familiar themes, like education, health care, women's issues. our political reporter, shannon travis, has more on biden's day now. >> reporter: don, the obama campaign is going after the woman's vote, maybe even the baby's vote. more on that in just a moment. but vice president biden just finished up a short while ago a rally here in st. augustine, florida. this is his third rally here in florida over the last two days. you can bet that one of the key issues that vice president biden

to the debates and said that he listened to team obama and vice president biden. he said that's for the women. that is for the women. if he focuses on women, and that is why they were so concerned about this race tightening. reporter: of course. think about this. much of the reelection strategy is centered on talking about women's issues. specifically, what they call the war on women. as it relates to the availability of birth control and access to elective abortion. the president says mitt romney is radical on those issues and has tried to push the old social issues. but that is exactly -- it's not exactly what is driving the discussion today. what is driving it is the economy and the national debt. mitt romney has found ways and certainly found a way in the first debate -- and i expect will be looked to do that again tonight, to talk about the dead is an issue of responsibility. that would be unfair to engage in more deficit spending that obligates grandchildren and children of the women of america with expenses. >> also talking about how women are much more engaged in the process right now

on our best behavior. i was hoping the president would bring joe biden along this evening. because he will laugh at anything. [laughter] that is met romney at last night's dinner. our question for you this morning is whether a sense of humor matters and a candidate? in maryland on the democrat's line. good morning. caller: good morning. you are a great host. i love listening to you and the morning. i am on my way to work. i believe it is important to have a very good sense of humor but to keep in mind that -- there are some serious problems and these are some serious times. but in the end, as americans, we are always going to solve problems and work hard to do our best and be our best. is good to have a sense of humor. host: thank you for your call. edmund rights and on , it does break the tension and give us a break -. and tom says -- it sometimes helps to create and narrative of your opponent. i remember any bush reverses a gore debate when the bush give gore and not any smile when he invaded his base. -- invaded his space. next call. california. good morning. what do you think abo

point. we will see if there is going to be a pop for barack obama on this. remember, in the biden thing, and you -- i thought you were gonna rent a room with biden you were so happy with his performance. >> i thought it was brilliant. >> bill: didn't move 1 percentage point. >> that's also what i said vice presidential debates don't move. >> bill: help barack obama to the tune of 1 points to 2 points. >> we will see. >> bill: bob beckel. catch him on the five. we have a brand new bill o'reilly.com poll question. can you be good friends with someone whom you disagree politically? can you be good friends with someone who you disagree politically? very grammatically correct sentence there. yes or no. bill o'reilly.com. dennis miller comes out for mitt romney in a big way. we will show you more of what that is about. show you more of my appearance on couric today. did you say that? we hope you stay tuned to those reports. 5-hour energy? 5-hour energy supports the avon foundation for women breast cancer crusade. so i can get the energized feeling i need and support a great cause? i'm sold. p

romney has a bad case of romnesia and dr. biden says romnesia is contagious. >> just 18 days. >> three days until the third and final presidential debate. >> backtracking, side stepping. >> every time he opened his mouth on foreign policy, he does make a misstep. >> so much to redistribute. >> we're not in a position to start to call who has the most definite edge here. >> maybe many days after the polls close. >> remove funding for planned parenthood. >> if you really want to make a choice, those choices are about reproductive rights, that's your choice. >> you don't want someone who needs to ask for binders of women. >> women are not binders. i just got shelved like a binder. >> he's forgoting what his own positions are. >> i think it's called romnesia. >> romnesia. >> if you say you'll protect a woman's right to choose. >> i will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose, he'll be delighted to sign that bill. >> man, you definitely got romnesia. want to give a tax cut to the top 1%. >> i don't know anything about giving tax cuts to rich folks. >> i don't have a $5 tri

means i believe belonged to vice president biden. i'll let angela respond. tell us specifically what think is an untruth. >> i think that everything romney has said i guess true. >> no. >> let's ask jumu. she made an accusation about governor romney not being honest. about what? go ahead. then we'll have angela respond. >> he hasn't been honest where he stands on the issue of reproductive rights. he moved himself to the right to win the primary, now running ads, trying to convince woman that he's more moderate on this issue. he won't tell us if he would have supported the lilly ledbetter act. he won't tell us where he stands on paycheck fairness act. he won't talk -- >> you're saying women's issues. angela, where does the governor stand on women's issues? >> first of all, jamie, women's issues are american issues. if you poll women -- and in my book "bamboozled" i did a whole chapter entitled "what do women want." women care about the economy. women care about jobs. obama says that romney has romesia, the last four years have been obamanation. the only way to solve the economic quick

president joe biden in the white house substitute there with arlen specter who had switched his party affiliation from republican to democratic, said well, let's let arlen specter tell you why he decided he wasn't going to stay with the republican party. >> i'm not prepared to have my 29 year record in the united states senate decided by the tennessee republican primary election. >> because the tea party the yahoos that have taken over the republican party lamenting it. >> their willingness to lose the general election, if they can purify the party, they are on a rebellion. >> a rebellion against them. arlen specter was in many ways a conservative. he was one of those guys you couldn't really figure out. it was he more than anybody else who really challenged anita hill. he was known as the toughest investigator if you will, on the senate judiciary committee. he went after anita hill, damaged her credibility was more than anybody else responsible for clarence thomas getting on the court. arlen specter was a big supporter of john roberts of samuel alito. he helped direct, shape the dire

jill biden, wife of vice president joe biden, campaigned in minnesota. she's on a four-day midwest tour that runs through monday and includes stops in iowa and wisconsin. this 20-minute event begins with remarks by minnesota governor mark dayton. >> it is a great honor to have you here, dr. biden. we have such a great opportunity in minnesota to roll the dice. we elected the majority in the minnesota house and minnesota senate. [applause] i will shine your shoes. defeated two terrible constitutional amendments. [applause] and we can re-elect our congressmen and women. and re-elect our tremendous senator. [applause] >> he is here today. and so -- then of course the reason we are all here today is to re-elect a great president and a great vice president. [applause] >> you didn't come to hear about them from me. you came here to hear dr. biden. i came here to hear dr. biden. i will turn it over to carol. >> i am glad. one reason i am supporting president obama is that i have the feeling he is grounded in the real world and as i said in researching dr. biden, i found out that she has childr

, the libya scandal. the obama team is still trying to do damage control from vice-president biden's debate comment last week that the president did not know american diplomats in libya had begged for more security prior to last month's attack, plus the initial and repeated statements tying the attack to that anti-islam video. in the meantime, health officials are broadening their warnings to doctors about the company linked to the deadly meningitis outbreak. they say other medicines made by the massachusetts company could be tied to reports of new illnesses. we are three weeks and one day from the presidential election. right now our weekly look at how the electoral college map is shaping up. joining me now is karl rove, former bush senior advisor from austin, texas. in washington, democratic strategy gisist joe trippi. you can see the red on the key, romney, blue is obama. the yellow states are toss up states within the margin of error. this is the first time based on polls from within the last two weeks. we've been doing it over the last month, but since we are within this time frame, an

in the sense it's kind of trying to play on just on the joe biden performance. that ad only works because of biden's facial expressions. if you just had paul ryan saying what he's saying without the counter position to biden, there's really nothing there. i think they will shift to broader, bigger themes, but you can see the kernels in both of these of what they would be saying. president obama saying we've come too far to turn back, and governor romney saying it's not good enough. you'd be foolish not to change course. those are the nutshells of the arguments. they have been building up for the last six to nine months. over the course of the next few weeks, we will be hearing those in much clearer and starker terms than we've heard before. >> you know, a lot of elections turn on the very immediate conditions and how things are developing. i think right now things are starting to look a bit brighter than they were a couple months ago in terms of -- let's look at this one. this is a good poll, "the washington post"/abc poll. it looks at right direction, wrong direction. if you look at the

[ laughter ] now, i haven't seen it yet. nor will i ever. it's a vice presidential debate. [ laughter ] but for the record, i'm betting -- i know what who is going to win because the key to winning one of these debates is to lower expectations about your speaking skills. and biden's been doing that for four years. [ laughter ] plus he's gonna win. because the liberal media fix is in. >> critics raising concerns about the moderator in tomorrow's vice-presidential clear political bias. it turns out president obama attended abc correspondent martha raddatz first wedding back in 1991. this thing goes deep, folks. [ laughter ] 21 years ago barack obama attended debate moderator. martha raddatz's wedding. who knows what favors were exchanged with an eye toward the inevitable future debate. they all knew it was coming. he knew that. panini press would pay off eventually for the running mate he hadn't met yet

the remark in an interview with cnn. she stressed that president obama and vice president joe biden weren't involved in security decisions related to the consulate. the administration is facing criticism over precaution preca. the state department did not respond to requests for extra security at the consulate in the months before the attack. during thursday's vice presidential debate, biden said they weren't told they wanted more security there. clinton says normally the president and vice president would not be briefed on such matters. the attack and the obama administration's response have become a major issue in the upcoming presidential election. >>> the government of myanmar has surprised the world with the speed of its reforms after decades of strict military rule. people want to know how committed the government is to its new democratic goals. we try to answer that important question on day two of our special broadcast from myanmar. here's patchari raksawong, >> hello from yangon. we're focusing on the dramatic political reforms that have generated so much hope for meaningful chan
