We've got -- governor Bob McDonnell of Virginia.
Here right now.
A state where the polls are very close first of governor -- it went.
-- a different style completely the candidates physical proximity to one another I thought let's do a little bit more intense.
Exchange president clearly a little bit more aggressive but they're governor Romney also -- -- to sort out a way to presidents started out.
Tentatively but then he really got -- -- -- bomb.
And by the end it was almost slugfest -- Who does that help or hurt but you get that in your city.
Yes with the incredible love momentum -- governor Romney had I think get a Denver.
Even if it's a tie tonight it goes to governor you figures cited bank what I -- give a slight edge to the governor running on two they're very important points especially this just let it.
Well I'll I'll take that tonight and it's on two very important points one I did not hear any compelling case for a second Obama term.
The president cited some of things you try to do.
Didn't get done.
Couple things that he did which is expanding our government.
Cracking down on Wall Street.
But on many things they're governor Romney pointed out some of the failure so what's -- second term gonna look like that's gonna put people back to working get us out of debt.
And create more energy resources I heard rhetoric.
But I -- -- good plants -- secondly I think really compelling tonight.
But was the importance of foreign policy.
You know two weeks after -- and Gaza incident the president stands little wells of the United Nations and blames this attack on the YouTube video now.
I think it's clear now president -- Secretary Clinton taking responsibility today for weeks later that we were not properly prepare.
What do you think governor went with a moderator.
-- to governor Romney to say.
Well the president did call this an act of terror when in fact he was referring to.
This act of terror and acts of terror against the United States.
As it that -- was calling it a terrorist act you know it might be semantic but it's a very important distinction it and send them moderated -- -- -- And and correct.
The governor.
-- she made no such efforts whoever supporting these that I mean I just thought well it's a little weird.
I like Candy Crowley but she and the president were flat wrong on that the president made some statements in the Rose Garden today after.
But talking about terror internally but two weeks later tonight I and -- I -- -- seems that it is silly B to keep pounding but.
Calling something -- terror act is very different to going to terrorist act.
And then a moderator intervening.
To defend the presidency if he did say that.
Is a little I don't know we'll nearly return and I like -- a lot.
But she's got that I should they were both just flat wrong on that two weeks later he's basically still blaming it on the YouTube video but the larger point -- really us.
Why do we even have to Rick -- have a request from -- -- on 9/11.
Why wasn't the -- -- apartment and the president more prepared when we just come out of a conflict in Libya number two with these trillion dollars and sequestration defense cuts.
That the president refuses to do anything about.
While we're fighting a war and nine Afghanistan that'll cost 200000 jobs in Virginia.
And failed to support -- 125000.
Men and women from Virginia.
That are fighting in the military right now this is absolutely the wrong policy and I think this projection.
Of not supporting does the Defense Department right now that even secretary Panetta says is going to be devastating.
It's projecting weakness in the mideast and I think invites this kind of response -- governor more to this in some survey results are getting.
