joke me today rolling stone executor eric baits, rana, buzz feed editor in chief, busy ben smith, and "new york times" magazine editor mr. sunday morning himself hugo lin gren. as the east coast struggles to get on its feet in the wake of hurricane sandy president obama will be in new jersey this hour to survey the wost of the damage alongside the state's governor chris christie. the deadly storm responsible for 59 deaths according to the app and 59 billion in damage, ripped up boardwalks and left 2 million without power. governor christie has take an prominent role in the disaster recovery but also been content to share the spotlight with the president. despite the fact that christie remains a surrogate for the romney campaign, his praise of the commander in chief storm response has been oversized and unsensored, downright christy-en. this display of bipartisan has created confusion on both sides of the aisle. in today's "new york times" maureen dowd writes that, quote -- white house officials seem a bit flummoxed by christie's bear hug. they speculate christie who always puts chris

they are saying, rana, that these numbers were manipulated. >> that's nonsense. come on. >> if they were manipulated he would have boosted the manufacturing numbers. they were still down. these were mostly gains in health and education. i'm hopeful actually that the ticking down of the unemployment figure will make it a little easier to come to the kind of grand bargain we're going to need to come to after the election. as carl said, whoever is president will have to lay out a long, hard slog ahead and we need math that works. that means probably raising taxes or at least cutting some loopholes and making the tax code simpler, raising revenue, making some investments but maybe curbing entitlements. >> i want to bring in ralph nader, three-time presidential candidate and author of the new book called "the 17 solutions." always good to have you on the program. thanks for being here. mitt romney is painting himself as a defender of the middle class. he says he won't raise taxes on the middle class, won't cut education. has a plan to cover people with pre-existing co

rana, your thoughts. yesterday we were talking about a possible strategy, governor romney hugging the policies of the president. that's exactly what happened, and i'm stunned by how surprised people were, because our first read team noted that that would be the theory. dan senor was on "morning joe" and said there was no difference in the withdrawal from afghanistan. that they supported the 2014. why the big surprise this morning? >> well, it's really interesting. through the whole debate there was a convergence in a lot of ways of the president's policies and what governor romney was saying. i was surprised by the talk around afghanistan, and i think a lot of people were. that this was a policy long held, that the romney camp cited the withdrawal was a good thing. to change that in the debate was an interesting pivot. >> dan said it on "morning joe." he said there was no difference. i want to play the moment during the debate that was such a stunner. >> we're going to be finished by 2014, and when i'm pr

rana, how come you look younger every time i see a picture you riding horseback. i say, well, jimmy, that's easy. i just keep riding older. chris: george bush talked to the new york crowd. >> i realized i haven't seen so many people so well dressed since i went to a come as you are party in kennebunkport. >> this is an impressive crowd to have and the have mores. some people call you the elite. i call you my base. chris: it was a well-off crowd there, i can can tell you. when we come back we'll talk about american women and putting aside abortion issues. it's the pocketbook. well, is it or chris: welcome back. a lot of talk in recent days about the war for women. barack obama started with a big edge. our nbc "wall street journal" poll in september before the debates had women saying they favored the president on issues of concern to women. on "the view" ann romney argued people care about economic issues more than reproductive rights. >> i hear help, economic help. absolutely. women are going to have a choice. i mean, it's clear. if you're really want to make a ch

they look at illinois as a pathway through it but we start looking down state for example support for rana among downstate voters was 46- 41. now you have this issue of three verily heavily competitive seats downstage one with a freshman republican that is in the quad city won in central illinois that was a republican seat but an incumbent quit and then you have a democratic incumbent retired. when you look at where these numbers are for example you go from the issue of just over all who to vote for it and then you start looking at what you think of the president's handling of the jobs into the economy. you have a before and after so to speak on how the president and mr. romney compare with jobs. when you look at two years ago in the depths of a great receptionfor recession 42 percent approved of obama's handling. again when you look at those numbers there is still complains downstate how did these two candidates helpmeet feel about me? which candidate cares more about people like you? the reason i call it a gut check is because it's not necessarily anything statistical it's just who is co

rana, i wonder what you thought about the two candidates as they talked about the economy. how did their plans measure up against each other? >> i think the key issue is taxes and i think you have to wonder whether romney's math adds up. i think we're still left really wondering about a lot of details, about how this plan is going to garner the revenue he's talking about. i think we still don't know what sort of loopholes are going to be closed. and whether or not the math can be made to work without opening up contentious loopholes like the mortgage interest deduction. but i think there's a biggest math issue here and that's whether or not lowering tax rates creates jobs and growth. i would argue that factually it doesn't. it hasn't over the last three years and it hasn't -- it didn't in 2000 when the bush era tax cuts were deeper and broader. i think that's really the problem here. >> pelley: rana, to your point, earlier in the debate, the president was talking about the lack of specifics in romney's economic plans and he had this this to say about whether romney's plan w

israel says the rana stepped away from its alleged pursuit of atomic weapons defense minister ehud barak explain that to run it you sort of it's a rich to really him to make sure roads for medical research well that's in contrast to promise and in your own statement at the un last month that iran was on the brink of creating a nuclear bomb in our middle east correspondent paula slit with the latest. such comments are certainly part of the political game that has intensified here in israel ahead of the early general elections that are now going to be held next year until now barack has stood firmly in the same camp as his prime minister binyamin netanyahu both have repeatedly warned against is the nuclear capability of the ran and have long governing pimping israeli strike we saw an attorney who not so long ago at the united nations general assembly drawing a red line but what many experts here in israel say is that that was a red line by which israel would strike you ran rather than a red line in terms of a deadline by which tehran would acquire nuclear capability but rock heads up his o

that was a moment mixing it up tonight president barack obama and rana's speaking at the night's second presidential debate. our top story seen tonight fighting for the presidency with their word and their ideas decision 2012 is on the line for president barack obama and romney the two squaring off at hofstra university in new york the debate is in a town hall format president barack obama reminded voters that romney didn't support the bailout of the auto industry and a tangle over what romney meant when he said let detroit go bankrupt. >> to say i wanted to take the auto industry bankrupt, you actually did and i think it's important now that was a process that was necessary to get those companies back on their feet so they could start hiring more people that was precisely what i recommended and ultimately what happens. >> what governor romney said just isn't true, you wanted to take them into bankruptcy without providing them any way to stay open and we would have lost 1 million jobs. >> join us for analysis with the hash tagged wgn 20 12th you know 25 minutes into the debate there wer
