that's all you're doing with clearwater.it's important to recognize that dan hessy has done right by shareholders since day one. i have the conviction to buy more sprint below $5 if the softbank deal was all smoke and no fire. the real winner is you, the consumer. the more well capitalized players in wireless the better things are. three cheers if the softbank investment is the real deal. stay with cramer. bob... oh, hey alex. just picking up some, brochures, posters copies of my acceptance speech. great! it's always good to have a backup plan, in case i get hit by a meteor. wow, your hair looks great. didn't realize they did photoshop here. hey, good call on those mugs. can't let 'em see what you're drinking. you know, i'm glad we're both running a nice, clean race. no need to get nasty. here's your "honk if you had an affair with taylor" yard sign. looks good.

clearwater is the horse of a different color.ts it owes billions with debt and so little cash. it would be foolish to buy the 50% of clear wire stock, better to allow them to buy the company in a reorganization. that makes me want to be a seller of clearwire. i never recommend stocks on a takeover basis. that's all you're doing with saying buy clear wire here. no matter what it's important to recognize that dan hessy has done right by shareholders since day one. i have the conviction to buy more sprint below $5 if the softbank deal was all smoke and no fire. the real winner is you, the consumer. the more well capitalized players there are in the wireless industry, the better things are for all of us. three cheers if the softbank investment is the real deal. stay with cramer. wooohooo....hahaahahaha! oh...there you go. wooohooo....hahaahahaha! i'm gonna stand up to her! no you're not. i know. you know ronny folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico sure are happy. how happy are they jimmy? happier than a witch in a bro

pete, clearwater and miami area experienced largest unemployment rate declines in the country." a tricky balance for romney, arguing voters change course amid an improving picture. romney emphatic it is not going quickly enough. >> the reason it's come down this year is primarily due to the fact that more and more people have just stopped looking for work. >> reporter: but economists say in this jobs report, that's not entirely the case. some have dropped out, but there's also been a surge in the number of baby boomers retiring. and there was more hiring in recent months than first thought. and romney working to win over voters who are out of work. now offering this about those comments he made about the 47%. the americans, he said, he doesn't worry about, those he said he can't convince to take personal responsibility. >> clearly, in a campaign with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question/answer sessions, now and then you're going to say something that doesn't come out right. in this case, i said something that's just completely wrong. >> reporter: now, all day there

credence clearwater survival, right? >> greg: no. >> bob: damn.wn to 117 counties and nine swing states which one of the counties in 2004 and obama took it in 2008. take a look at florida to start. we look at three states and we'll get the other states this week and next week. florida, you can see the counties are in the senator o -r of the state. it's the battle in florida, key corridor, tampa corridor. that's where obama upset expectation and took florida. the democrats will win the south. republicans will win north. >> bob: let's look at virginia. >> dana: a lot of what you'll see on the map are suburban counties. that matter for three reasons. your house is probably worth less than when you bought it. gas prices are higher than four years ago and you pay more to get to work. third thing is something ann romney touched on at the convention speech. moms look for one thing. comfort and time. they take care of their paren parents. suburban moms matter. >> eric: a lot of -- >> bob: a lot of those counties were western part of the state. new tragedy

from clearwater, florida, good evening. >> i keep thinking obama one is because i don't know, romney sounded more like obama and less like himself. backing down a little bit. i am wondering if he is flip-f lopping. if he is the same guy that he was during the primary. at leastking maybe he's -- to be more in favor of things woen woul -- women would want. he is sounding more like obama. >> thank you. dylan has a different point of view. watch the debate and i think that romney took the debate. we can't afford obama four more years. next is john from hawaii. an undecided voter. >> i was disappointed with the president. i was looking for him to lay out his strategy on foreign policy and i found him to be the jimmy carter of our generation. especially when he brought up that he only went to israel -- i wanted to hear that he went as a president. >> good evening, a supporter of the president. the >> tower you doing? i am wondering, how can people support a person that comes up with the plan that has no details? and not only that, we think about a person that can say to forget about the 47

that clearwater common stock had been thought of as a dead stock. >> right.t's got an enormous amount of debt, as i reported. softbank's main focus, in part, has been on the spectrum position, not just the sprint but at clearwire. therefore, part of this plan is to actually also acquire clearwire as well. >> fascinating. because people, retail investors, love $2 stocks. dave and i were talking off camera. sprint was a $2 stock that actually worked. those are very rare. i am very hesitant to tell people to go buy clearwire, the common, because clearwire, the common, may be soon clearwire the bonds may be the play, not unlike what david just talked about with realogy where there was a major home run done if you bought another part of the capital structure that many of our watchers do not understand which we have to educate them. >> that was all institutionally budget. those are the converts that were sold to help save the company. man, it is a good day for paulson and westin asset managers, all big holders of realogy. >> i've been focusing on stocks tonight tha

they would buy clearwater which is already on the big ticket. >> are so questionable provide a greater flex ability. first and foremost you have to sure up their position and are looking for different options. clear where to be one of those. that is something they will continue to evaluate. they still have to address down the road i think it gives them more financial power as we look forward. dennis: you value the deal at $7.36 per share. in your target price on sprint has been up for dollars, is that right? >> that is something we will have to continue to address and target prices on a regular basis. one of the complexities is for 55% of the shares that are out there, they will get $7.30 per share. what is the other 45% worth and what kind of a value do you put on that, which effectively owning 30% in the new entity with no control. we will continue to evaluate that piece of it. dennis: this is a market not just keep consolidating because sprint has two incompatible systems as t-mobile will be a third. whereas at&t, t-mobile would be seamless. >> that is right, that is one of the comp

host: let's go to alan from clearwater, florida on the independent line. on with krist novoselic. caller: one of the problems we get into is that we want all or nothing. the electoral college, we have a guide -- a guy saying get rid of it. as an amendment. wyoming has three electoral is. one is republican and one is democrat -- electors and what is republican and one is democrat. he did not have enough to win the election. that you point counts. guest: it is up to the state to determine the matter of how electors --stay slim their -- all stays of their elector of fours into how the people vote. an interstate compact with this individual state agrees on the compact to give their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. california is on board, maryland, a few other states. when the agreement reaches critical mass, when there are enough states on board to have a majority of electoras --host: \ they need 270 -- host: they need to under 70. guest: it is -- host: thaey need 270. bank people in california are not our friend voters -- guest: it

clearwater politics put 206 votes for romney.s ahead in florida and five points ahead in virginia and four points ahead in colorado, you add them together you are at 257 of the 270 and then 90 electoral votes in new hampshire, nevada and ohio . pennsylvania and michigan and minnesota and wisconsin. any one of those large states or one plus one of the smaller states is enough to win. right now he is tied in ohio. he's three points ahead in pennsylvania in three different polls, ohio has 18 votes and pennsylvania 20. it took place when ohio had 25 . now 18. a thirdd of ohio is in florida. >> right. >> brian: i felt that the president and lockked horps thinking of ohio. and the fact check for mitt romneyy editorial worked in his behalf. he described what he wanted do with the auto industry. and the president wants women back. did he help with this sound bite? let's listen. we have to protect religious minority and womens because these countries can't develop unless all of the population did is developed. they can't develop if the yo

people trying to digest the sprint news and what the future is for clearwater. up have some thoughts. >> i think the company is trying really hard to get people to back away from the idea that sprint will take that money and buy a lot of clearwire. sprint wants to take the money they are taking from soft bank and catch up in long term evolution to its rivals verizon and at&t. verizon wireless has pulled ahead of what was needed to be able to go 4g even though sprint has done a remarkable job of getting customers from nextel and i think that money is going to technology. clearwire has been up day after day after day. maybe one day they do clearwire but not with the common stock. david has been saying, trying to figure out too what's going on. but i would say the clearwire bloom is off the rose. >> you don't think it's possible they are trying to tap down the price and keep it in a reasonable range. >> the study of citigroup -- >> we're woozy. >> dan hasn't been focused on this. this deal happened very fast. ing the ceo of sprint. i think literally they are trying

when you were with him. >> john: i almost get the credence clearwater joke.'re right about the tax cuts. how can this guy claim he wants to cut taxes 20% across the board and still balance a budget with a fiscal cliff looming. if you're mitt romney and you decide i want to buy another yacht and you buy a yacht and then you decide i like my yacht so much, i want to have all of my free time so i'm going to quit my job at bain bain capital and live on my yacht, you have to pay for the damn thing. if you have the money going out to pay for the yacht but no income coming in you can't afford your yacht. mitt romney wants you to buy a yacht and quit your job. it is not responsible and it's not sane and there is nothing about mitt romney's fiscal policy that is conservative. taking your calls at 1-866-55-press. when we come back. i'm john fuglesang. this is the "bill press show." >> announcer: heard around the country and seen on current tv, this is the "bill press show." building up to this. >>bill shares his views, now it's your turn. >>i know you're going to want
