why would debbie wasserman-schultz do that? bie wasserman-schultz, if it's a day that ends in "y," it's a day for a bald-faced lie. there are so many times she has made statements that are so blatantly false, she is in a league of proverication of her own. this has not been the only time she has been caught. there is a laundry list, with regard to when she gitrying to pannedder to jewish voters. you might recall this. i am sursure you talked about it, when she lied about what the ambassador said about the gop. she said that no less than ambationz dormichael orrin said this, that republicans are -- what they are doing is dangerous for israel. and the israeli ambassador, michael orrin, immediately fact checked her skirt on fire and said that he had never said such a thing. but what they do is launch the lies like missiles out there and hope that somehow they stick. they are ending up destroying the reputation, certainly of debbie wasserman-schultz. there was an internal memo from the democrats that said that debbie wasserman-schul

let's check in with congressman debbie wasserman-schultz. i am sure there is a lot you would like to respond to. let's start with the contention that and you other democrats know it's a lie to say that mitt romney is proposing a $5 trillion tax cut, qeet you want to keep that narrative going. >> if you look at independent fact checkers, that looked at mitt romney's claim that he didn't have a $5 trillion tax cut proposal, skewed toward the wealthy to require mitts-class tax increases, polito facts, new york times, independent fact checkers and economists have said that mitt romney has embraced for 18 months, until wednesday night, that he has a $5 trillion tax cut plan, skewed toward the wealthy and he has no details in terms of deductions or anything like that. and the independent experts that have lookad it say you have to increase taxes on the middle class to get to that 20% rate cut and $5 trillion that are skewed toward the wealthy. an average middle class family would see an average of $2,000 increase. there is no running away from tha

whether or not that issue can be nationalized, florida congresswoman, democratic chair, debbie wasserman schultz. congresswoman thank you for joining us. what about the mourdock controversy? there's a new advertisement from the obama team trying to nationalize it. is this local to indiana? >> no, i think this is deeply concerning to women because it shows just how deeply embedded the extremism is on women's health in the republican party. you have mitt romney and paul ryan and richard mourdock and todd akin who are essentially two sets of twins when it comes to issues related to women's health. mitt romney, like you said, has cut an ad, this is the only candidate in the country that he has done an ad for. he's endorsed richard mourdock and now he won't even say two days has passed, since richard mourdock has said that the pregnancy resulting from a rape was intended by god and was a gift from god and mitt romney is avoiding directly saying himself, he's only -- he's only said this through a spokesperson that he done agree with the views. he still endorses him. and won't pull the ad. paul ryan, h

question tonight and joining us to talk about it is democratic congresswoman from california, debbie wasserman schultzyou. let me your state chose president obama 51-48% over john mccain. obviously that was a crucial victory and now, according to this latest poll, there fs a big swing in this, trailing mitt romney. what happened? >> well, look, florida is always, always a very close race in the presidential election. this year will be no exception. one thing that's important to keep in mind is that florida has gone with the incumbent president in every election since 1984. the key thing is if you look at polls in the last 18 days, the obama campaign began our building of our grass roots ground operation back in the beginning of the 2008 campaign and we have never left florida. we have a ground game that is superior to the romney campaign and if you look at our turnout operation when it comes to early voting, we've actually, when it comes to absentee balloting, which republicans usually have a big advantage of, we have closed that gap in their advantage by more than two-thirds this time. and we have ou

ralph reed and debbie wasserman schultz. >>> let's talk about what has changed since tuesday's debateu gave the win to president obama so did karl rove. mitt romney still has the momentum. >> if you look at what happened before the first debate, then the first debate then the second debate. romney stopped any momentum that president had. what the president did by showing up this time with some energy and some force, that he actually stopped that momentum that romney had and gained some enthusiasm back which is why i think we see the race today basically a slight advantage for the president today, a slight advantage. >> you would still say a slight advantage? >> very slight advantage. the debate changed enthusiasm. >> i think if you look at the cnn flash poll, did it affect your vote? 25% said for romney. 25% for obama. no net change out of the second debate. t 9% of the voters said that the first debate changed their mind. that 9% broke 70% for romney only 18% for obama. the biggest swing in an election coming out of a first debate and obama didn't really change that. >> chairman, eve
