from the election. three weeks from today. after commanding performance by romney in the first debate, both candidates feeling the pressure to perform tonight. stay with fox news from now through primetime when you have megyn kelly and bret baier leading the coverage. let's kick it off with greg who is at half stra. he look -- hofstra and he lookso interested. i'm sure you've talked to a ton of people today. what are they saying? >> greg: i found out that president obama had chicken today. but he was unhappy because they were out of dog. the big issue here is the altitude. they don't want a recurrence of what happened a few weeks ago. the elevation here is 60 feet. it's 60 feet. they have had security and aides here to prep obama and prevent implosion and adjust for the change. they lowered the podium four

feet. in industry terms called a perino. >> dana: if it's town hall format, there is no podium. >> greg: well, i'm wrong on that. the big key here is aggressiv aggressiveness. they want president obama to be more aggressive. sources told me he spent the entire week practicing a new frown. i have been told by somebody that looked like john kerry it's quietly devastating. >> bob: greg, why are you there? >> greg: why are you there, bob? i want to give you an interesting fact. did you know that at hofstra, they have one of the world's largest arboretum, which is a bird sanctuary. there are thousands of birds here. people wonder in the debate will they be tweeting? >> dana: very good. >> bob: my question is why are you there? that is very interesting. >> dana: let me ask you one other thing. on the expectations, i've seen it's romney, the expectations too high, obama expectations

are too high. where do you see it? >> greg: the big worry here is will president obama overcompensate? you can't spell "overcompensate" without using a lot of letters. if you're using a lot of letters, you are overcompensating. he has to be himself. not really. we don't know who he is. the format is interesting. there will be no slapping no, kicking. there will be 13 questions. 11 of them will only be on gay marriage. that's important. there are 82 participants. i talked to colonel allen west earlier and only 74 of them are communists. >> brian: i have learned nothing but i'm quietly entertained. >> greg: the big point uncommitted voters. i like to call them human porks, because they're neither a spoon or a fork. i don't believe they are uncommitted. they will be more plants here than michelle's organic garden. >> greg: andrea, what do you

have -- >> dana: an degreia, what do you have for greg? >> andrea: what are you bringing us back? surprises? tchotchkes, mugs, et cetera? >> greg: i got an incredibly well-designed hofstra university debate shirt, made from brazillion kittens. it's comfortable. >> andrea: i know you will cut it to a baby "t." you should be aware that i saw brian with a whoopie cushion and he may leave it on your seat. don't say i never warned you about anything. >> greg: i'd like to think i don't need a whoopie cushion. >> eric: my question is what are you doing tonight? on a college campus, what are you doing for the debate and post-debate? >> greg: excellent point. can i tell you something? the huffington post has a truth booth to gauge sentiment

among students. a left wing organization has a bubble of truth immune from logic and reason. filled with dumbnything worse students. >> dana: maybe you can pop it. >> greg: i might. >> brian: i was born and bred on long island. do you have questions where the bennigan's once was or the sears is, to have rotate have ys rotated? >> greg: i was looking for chichi but they went bankruptcy in 1998. heart-breaking. interest alumni from hofstra. did you know belorni aloni graduated from hofstra university and the first african-american socialist to run for president beating obama by two decades. >> dana: let's get to bob.

that was a good one. if you are in the obama hotel suite, what is one thing you'd tell him to do? >> bob: take as many chemicals as he possibly could. no. i think what happened, he was prepared the last time. he didn't show up. something happened when he stepped out on the stage and he wasn't focused. this time he is focused. i talked to people around him and said he is focused and understands that this is the big deal for him. i suspect he will be aggressive with romney. but i think he is going to use self-deprecating humor. at the beginning of the debate about what happened in the first debate. he will push romney hard to explain himself. >> dana: same question to you in the romney area. >> eric: i'd do what i did the last time. romney came out and hest aggressive. he stuck to the facts and script. but i think romney, you have

to be surprised. you played sports, you have all played sports. when the team you play is giving up and on their heels, you have to stay focused to continue to win the game. mitt romney stayed focused for the full 90 minutes. he needs to stay focused tonight. remember, debates don't matte matter, so romney is winning. >> bob: i may very well see this as one of those years where it does. >> dana: one of the group of voters where it has mattered the first debate between romney and obama and the second debate with women, why do women seemingly break for romney at this point in the campaign? >> andrea: one, they miscalculated. "they" being the obama campaign, the priorities of women. they talk about birth control and abortion and other things when the economy is the number one issue.

they try to scare women away from romney. that night romney showed up and women said wait, he's not an evil guy. wow! he is smart. respectful and nice. that follows with joe biden arrogant off the jerk marhchisom attitude and now we are seeing what they call the waitress moms. this election depends on the waitress moms. who are waitress moms. i grew up in the diner with the same women. they are concerned about the economy and swing voters. >> dana: what else they care about is welfare reform and whether or not there are changes in the welfare reform requirements. we have a treat that we have you on "the five" and tomorrow morning you will be on "fox & friends." in the debate, how long in the debate before you know, have a sense of what tomorrow morning will look like? >> brian: i'm cheating because i'm watching twitter. i'm cheating and i will admit.

that we'll know in an hour in if the president came to play. it's tough for the final half hour. does the president have something in the first half hour that scores big? if he is smart he would look to santorum's last debate with romney. he did well and he found vulnerabilities in romney that caught him on his heels when he had nothing to lose. after that, the go-to guy. that was the issue. >> bob: eric's analogy on the obama side of the last debate. you played a team you were supposed to roll over easily and you couldn't get yourself up for that game? you showed up and you were arrogant and you thought you'd roll over them. then you didn't produce. that's probably what happened. there is genuinely a dislike of obama toward romney. >> dana: that shows and it's terrible. >> eric: talk about what really telling "usa today" poll that came out yesterday,

gallup/"usa today" poll that shows women across the board skewing to obama. swing states, women and obama are dead even. if i'm romney tonight, that's who i talk to. swing state specifically. >> brian: the pro-life. you know obama wants the women back so he will try to get romney in an attack on pro-life. >> dana: big mistake. >> brian: are you going to put two supreme court justices to overturn roe v. wade? >> andrea: i think if he keeps them on the road with the social issues they'll lose. people say president obama will be more aggressive. women don't want more aggressive. he has to do what bill clinton did, feel your pain. bill clinton was a classic expert retail politician. obama and romney are not classic politicians so how can president obama be the man to feel the pain when he is the one to blame?

very hard to go negative. >> brian: i will be nice to you, you asked the question. i'm mean to you because you're the opponent. >> bob: one thing we forget from the poll, romney is not getting as many men as republicans do. he needs more men. >> eric: doesn't matter. doesn't matter. you know it doesn't now in states decided now. what matters is the swing state. if you look at swing state polling women are 48-49, obama/romney. men are heavily skewed. >> dana: can i get greg back in here before we go? >> bob: must we? >> dana: yes, and i have one more question for him to answer. obama has a tough job in the campaign and debate. he has to do what the liberals want to say the four years are good and talk about the record. at the same time, he talked to skeptical public who does not think it's been good.

squandered opportunities. >> greg: he has to hope for a push. if he gets a push, the media will say he won. he did so poorly, as long as he doesn't throw up on romney, they will say he won. which is why mitt has to beat him like a three-egg omelette. >> andrea: waitress moms will love those three egg omelettes. >> greg: waitress moms is redundant. >> andrea: not all moms. >> dana: greg! we will have you back so don't leave. >> greg: are you sure? >> bob: we'll take a vote. >> dana: ahead we talk about the 9/11 attack in libya. that wasn't the first time it was attacked. it happened twice before and senator lindsey graham is demanding answers. >> did anyone inform the president of the united states about the terrorist attacks on the consulate? what did he know and when he did know about it?

♪ ♪ >> andrea: welcome back. south carolina senator lindsey graham sent a letter to president obama demanding answers on libya. he wants to know what action, if any, was taken after our consulate was attacked two separate times in april and june before the attacks that left four americans dead. remember, there were two attacks before the attack. on september 11. >> in april, consulate was attacked and e.e.d. was thrown over the wall. june 6, the consulate was attacked again. there was a hole in the wall that was large enough for 40 people to get through the wall. northern gate was penetrated. four days later, the british ambassador in benghazi, libya, was attacked. they closed their embassy. the red cross, closed their office in benghazi.

my question is: did anyone ever inform the president of the united states about these terrorist attacks on our consulate? what did he know? when did he know it? what did he do about it? >> andrea: here is the letter that lindsey graham sent. it says one of the attack blew a hole through the embassy big enough for 40 men to go through. i'm not buying when an attack happens like this, not once but twice that the president is not told about it. so either he knew and didn't do anything, or his advisors, i guess, didn't tell him about it. then you ask why doesn't he come out and demand someone get fired. either way, dereliction of duty. >> eric: andy card was on earlier and said absolutely the president should have been notified. if he wasn't, really showed that he needed to be in that loop. john sununu made a great point an hour ago and said especially in an election cycle and election year with only a couple of weeks left, president obama had to have

been notified. somebody was going have to question. reporters would say hey, did you know, what do you know, did you hear it waser the snitch if he was caught flat-footed he looks uninformed president. so i would say the president had to know. i think senator graham is on it saying if he knew then, why didn't you know now? >> andrea: i can't speculate what your conversations were with president bush, but as a press secretary you never want him to not have the proper information. then they're caught looking stupid. they don't know the answer. why didn't he ask was anyone injured? do we know who did it? can we get them out? should we send military force in? what were the warnings? >> dana: this will probably not to come as surprise to bob i have a tendency to overinform somebody. we did. that is the right way to go, even if they're busy. you know you have a boss and you're nervous and you're like i'm so sorry to bother you. it's not like that for me.

i'm not saying it is for the current white house. but overinform is better because not knowing is as damning as knowing and not doing anything about it. decision, from a political strategic decision for president obama to go to vegas the next day instead of staying back and convening a national security council meeting where they could have got on the same page and may have prevented them the five weeks of misinformation, wrong information and trying to cover their tracks. >> andrea: bob, you cannot say, you worked in the white house. you worked in the state department. when something like that happens, you know that they inform the president right away. so for joe biden to look at the american people with the big white teeth and that smile, somehow say we didn't know, next question. not acceptable. >> bob: we use our own show. andrew wood who was the head of security until august and libya. he went up and he was duty

bound to tell congress the story of what happened. his entire testimony, i read it today. he never once mentioned the u.k. attack on ambassador or the other two attacks. why? they were insignificant attacks. he was the head of security and never informed anybody about it. end of story. >> andrea: there is a security issue that said he didn't know, the vice president didn't knows. two conflicting pieces of information coming out. state department saying it's terror. why would president obama not pull in and say show me your evidence. i want to see, rather than saying i know you're conflicted but i'm going with you and throw caution to the wind. >> brian: or go to vegas. what he could have done, this is how bad and crazy our world has been. four years ago they'd say is president bush planning something to get additional heat? terror attack, this president

goes somewhere else and hopes no one will ask a million questions on him. that is a huge mistake. it would have been a great example of leadership. >> andrea: hillary clinton in here and speaking of leadership, she has fallen on the sword for the president. >> i'm responsible for state department and 600,000 people around the world. but we're going to review everything to make sure that we're doing what needs to be done in an increasingly risky environment. >> it's very laudable that she should throw herself under the bus. first, responsibility for american security doesn't lie with the secretary of state. it's with the president of the united states. >> andrea: extraordinary she is taking responsibility. >> eric: extraordinary and disturbing. she takes responsible for lack of security. who takes responsibility for coverup that ensued after the attack? that is what we want to know. security lapses, fine.

when you take responsibility, there aren't consequences? what consequences is she going to accept? step down, madam secretary, quit or say i'm done? >> bob: for what? >> eric: she is take responsibility. >> andrea: why not sooner? >> bob: let me go back to the expert on this, the head of secur said again that there were a bunch of terrorist gangs hanging around benghazi. well armed. they were not al-qaeda. >> andrea: stay with hillary clinton. why didn't she take responsibility sooner? >> bob: i don't want to say -- look, people lost their lives. every day there are instances around the world that are far more consequential. >> andrea: we haven't had an ambassador murdered since 1979. the president is using her as a human shield. that is my gut instinct. >> dana: democrats will forgive her for anything. she is taking the fall. >> brian: political street

credit. >> dana: why did they use a fake story about a video for a week? >> bob: i change my position. i believe the video was the thing that -- >> dana: we got to go. >> eric: point something out. nbc is reporting that the video of the attack, why video streaming back to the white house. back to intel of the attack. there were no protests, bob. >> andrea: we got to go. maybe they want her to take the blame. so we'll take the right on the right and go negative on her. and be a victim again. win women back. coming up, all eyes are turning to the crucial swing states to decide who wins the election. which one should you keep your eye on? we'll tell you next. hooo....hah!

well, who says debates don't matter? 60 polls last week in 27 states. if you look at the 30-day map,

there were three status changes. all of them benefiting romney. montana went from lean romney to strong romney. new hampshire and nevada moved from lean obama to tossup. critical battleground state of ohio, along with wisconsin go from lean obama to tossup. connecticut goes from obama to lean obama. significantly, north carolina goes from tossup to lean romney. so at the end of this, we're left with romney with 159 solid electoral votes to 194 for obama. each one was between 47 lean votes and romney's case 43. obama. 237 to 206 with 95 electoral votes up for grabs. >> bob: well, that is good math. who says debates don't matter? i said debates don't matter. i'm beginning to re-calibrate. i said they mattered in 1960 and 1980. this first debate may well have structurally changed the race. so i tend to agree with that. there are three states we

ought to pay attention to today. try to go through the lean states, the tossup states. one of them is florida. the other is virginia. the third one is ohio. romney needs to win all three of those states. but he can get away with winning two of three states. we don't a map, do we? >> brian: we do! >> bob: thank you. in florida, romney has seen a surge. it happened in a couple of places. in tampa area, that is important. middle part of the state. which reflects the united states. interestingly enough, seniors among the south. virginia it turns out, turn-out question. in the suburbs of washington. turn out big. it can overcome for obama. surge in the rural areas. in ohio, the most important thing is cuyahoga county. if it turns out big and the

counties around cincinnati, if obama can do as well as he did, the republican, but if he can keep the margin down, good chance to win ohio. >> eric: you may want to weigh in on this. bob mentioned something in the break. pennsylvania. starting to move toward romney. a big state. you move pennsylvania needle, you might move other states. >> andrea: this is a sign. pennsylvania four points for romney. now they are sending resources there. we talked about this. this will force obama to spend money he needs other states to get out vote. that tells me the pennsylvania, ohio voter moving in the camp. >> dana: talking about debates don't matter. in the g.o.p. primary, some people that said we need the best candidate who can debate obama well and win in the debatism didn't necessarily believe. maybe they were right.

>> brian: santorum said they got the wrong guy. michigan is the same as pennsylvania. it's interesting that north carolina is firmly in the romney camp. >> bob: if obama loses pennsylvania, romney will win in a landslide. if pennsylvania is that much of a democratic state, if that happens other states in the north will go that way. >> eric: gallup came out today and that is important because it's a seven-day rolling average. all seven days are post prior debate. came out that romney was 50%, obama 40%. >> eric: i assumed that is why obama paid attention. >> dana: the media saying that obama has a chance. >> bob: a friend of mine did in pennsylvania. he added three points. coming up, your tax dollars are hard at work. promoting caviar consumption and animal beauty products and funding robotic squirrel named surprisingly, robo squirrel.

format to engage voter one-on-one. he can't do it. >> eric: i trean question, i'll remember that question. you know what we'll do? poll the response. i don't remember it being excellent. >> dana: i think if she is tired imagine how bob feels. >> bob: tell me about it. bob i don't believe that romney can't engage with people. remember at the republican convention they had the personalest to moanials of people who had been touched by romney? both of them have the ability to do that. romney might have the better advantage on that, because he has been out on the campaign trail talking to people a lot more than president obama has been able to. >> brian: greg, ask you a question. with all of your sources on the ground in hempstead, how you keep them straight i don't know. i have a hunch. president brings up wall street against main street and romney's taxes again, all the same thing. the best of as in front of everyone because he knows
