in presidential campaigns because of the electoral college. in all but two states the winner of the popular vote is awarded all its electoral votes. those votes equal the state's number of congressman plus senators. the white house goes to the candidate who gets to the magic number of 270 electoral votes. the system is as old as the u.s. constitution. though many argue it is one part that needs to go. guaranteeing who ever wins the national popular vote wins the white house is a goal of richard cotty, a democratic state senator from new jersey. >> when you hear the words electoral college, you think what. >> 1776. i mean it's outdated. >> jeff: exhibit a for him, the disputed election of 2000, won by george w. bush, even though al gore won half a million more votes. >> you get another situation like that, bingo bango, we got it. >> jeff: what cotty got in his home state is a law that would require new jersey to award the electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote no matter who wins the state. seven other states have passed laws

advantage in the electoral college because in the united states you know we don't. as we saw on t.v. thousand election we don't elect the president on the popular vote it can sometimes be different in the electoral college so we really don't have a national election we have a state by state election and so. the candidates have to win so many states which add up to two hundred seventy electoral votes and so that can sometimes differ from the national got the popular vote totals so this could be another election where that happens we'll see obama has a slight edge in the electoral map do you think he's able to move to appeal to the middle well not as much i guess somewhat it's hard to say where he stands on many issues he's kind of moved around enough that's believable but after you do that and now if people just you know stick you with the flip flopper type thing flipping back and forth between you know views like john kerry was labeled with that. a while back for the demo on the democratic side you know if you're inconsistent on your and then mitt romney has been in

we now have nine states with 122 electoral votes now tossup. this is the largest number of tossup states that we have had since we began tracking in april. largest number of electoral college votes as well. >> bret: of the change what is is most important, joe? >> those two mean suddenly there is a lot of different ways for mitt romney to make it. we have been talking for weeks about the 3-2-19 strategy. now you can lose a state like virginia, one of the three, indiana, north carolina and virginia that he has to win or we thought he had to win to have a shot. you can lose one of those states, because now so many states are in tossup, nevada, michigan, wisconsin, those three states if you win them you can start to lose some of the 3-2-1 states which is something the obama campaign could not have possibly been thinking about this late in the game. >> bret: karl, as we point out, this is over 30 days. you moved texas in to the dark red, because you just said it is. but georgia is the same way, right? tennessee, kentucky? >> we have 35 electoral co

for a state with six electoral votes. here in newton, maytag appliance was the big employer for years about closed up five years ago. with it, many jobs left. this town has union influence but it's increasingly drifting republican. we catch up with folks in iowa we spoke to last summer about what is important now. we will get analysis from the local journalists covering the race. that is later. we begin, though, in the middle east where there is fresh violence against american interest and continueed back and forth about just what triggered it. radical jihaddist is doing their own spinning. leland vittert has that story. >> reporter: in kabul, afghanistan, rioters burned vehicles outside the u.s. embassy as the police held them back from the compound. in pakistan, police blasted protesters with tear gas and water cannons. pushing them away from the embassy temporarily closed. in beirut, the leader of hezbollah made a public appearance to call for continueed protest as the well-armed militia men chanted back "death to amer

that adds 18 electoral votes to obama's column.arolina, north carolina we're going to get to obama. 1 point romney. that was yesterday. yesterday was also florida. that too goes to obama. 48 to 47. very close. both of those. florida is the motherload. 29 electoral votes in florida. the final state that we have information from is colorado. recent information colorado has obama at 49%. romney at 46%. i must say colorado rectoral votes is nine. colorado and florida their poll was done, both of them, before the democratic national convention. so for insight into how the obama and romney war rooms are dealing with these polls, you can see this map has obama now just goes that way without the other swing states at 308. well enough to clinch the nomination and romney at 204. romney has got to turn up the heat. we're going to turn democratic strategist donnie fowler, veteran of the last four democratic presidential campaigns. he now runs his own consulting firm. dog patch strategies. welcome inside "the war room." let me ask you donnie be

in twenty six jesse ventura speaks to us about occupy wall street and why he thinks the american electoral system is antiquated and unfair. sitting down with jesse ventura former governor of minnesota a former navy seal former professional wrestler oxer and bestselling author it's very nice to see you back in our new york studios great to be here now jesse you recently announced that you are considering participating in the presidential race in the year twenty sixteen as an independent candidate because of course you believe that the two party system was crippled and corrupt so what better timing than now why not do it this time around will because it would take too long you have to build for this she the difficult thing if i if i do it i will be with no party it will be just. running for president if i do it well that requires me to get go out and get ballot access in all fifty states you can't do that overnight and it costs a lot of money that's why i've made the statement it will return require a grassroots movement of people in every state to go out and do what it takes to fulfill to g

that not everyone is brave enough or able a politically to have a conversation with their electorate especially in northern europe and that those stronger creditor countries i don't think it's necessary right of course and of course for anybody that was wondering if the eurozone crisis had kind of died down and they started to feel like it was boring or becoming just kind of a broken record why do we have today we have protests then great. so you know no questions about whether or not the eurozone crisis rages on and i think we're going to be showing pictures of what's going on in greece today now these are the first protests that we've seen the first major protests at least since the new government was elected and we do have a new coalition government in greece now what we have seen before though are these protests on the streets and it didn't really ever seem to do much either from you know from how i see it in washington in terms of how the greek government push forward reforms do you think that there is anything we should be expecting now in terms of a different outcome now that

. >>> sí, la apatía electoral, creo que la comunidad hispana en este año de elecciones presidencialesel presidente barack obama cuando tomó el cargo, heredó una depresión, un súper déficit y por sus acciones y las del congreso, él creó empleos, él es un caballero, es bipartidista, pero es importante que la gente sepa dónde está la economía. >>> el tercer tema las deportaciones él ha deportado más de un millón de inmigrantes, al menos hay 5 millones de niños en estados unidos que ss padres han sido deportados y ahora están en casas de refugio. >>> bueno, creo que el presidente sí puede presentar su caso, en cuanto a la inmigración ha tomado acciones en cuanto a la deportación en la ley dream act, y ahora esto protegerá a muchas personas, he trabajdo con luis gutiérrez, que es la persona que lidera los asuntos de inmigración, y ahora se ve un cambio. >>> una última pregunta, sobre la mujer, sé que usted es una gran impulsora de las mujeres en la política, cuándo vamos a ver más mujeres en el senado. >>> si se reduce el papel del dinero en la política y el nivel de urbanidad de la políti

. -- in the electorate.t's the largest advantage for democrats in 14 years. in 2004 it was absolutely equal. in 2010 it was absolutely equal between democrats and republicans. so the obama campaign better hope that they have an electorate that looks more like 2008 than like 2004 or 2010. >> that is absolutely critical. 2004, just to be clear, was the only time in history of modern polling that republicans equaled democrats as a share of the electorate in a presidential year, but i agree. i mean, i think the obama campaign is basically rovian in its view of the electorate in that they view it is more cost efficient to find a voter who agrees with you and might not vote than it is to persuade the kind of classic swing voter and, you know, this election, i mean, many things could tip this election, but as important as any will be, what is the minority share of the vote? we have an enormous ratio of disparity where obama is running twice as well among non-whites as whites. it was 26% in 2008. it could be enormou

-- track with the electorate? if you could kind of look back on the last 20, 30 years, when you see an increase -- >> they track pretty closely. that's kind of the problem with the romney strategy of assuming there will be no change. it flies in the face of historical trend. generally, we've seen -- the reason why minority share of voters has increased, you know, like clockwork, two points every year for decades, is basically because the share of, you know, the population and also of eligible voters is increasing at about that rate, maybe a little faster. so the two things tend to track each other. that doesn't mean, you know, it's absolutely certain it will in this election, but i think it's a safer bet it will than that it won't. but i can understand why they like the assumption of the whites, because as we were going over, it just makes the barrier they need to cross so much higher if they have to factor in that you might have another couple points where the minority voters -- >> it seems like -- >> not totally

now we've got an electorate that is disappointed with the president of 2008 but not convince thad thers a good alternative. so it makes it a smaller meaner kind of race, think, because you see this battle for a half a percentage point here or can i get a little bit more enthusiasm here for a race where people are not that happy, not that excited about their choices. >> but it's important to keep an eye on the big picture here. the big picture is the economy. if you want to predict how bam's vote goes in a stay or d demographic group, all you need to know is how many people approve of his handling of the economy. not overall but the handling of the economy. right now you have less than half who approve. and the door is open for mitt romney to get those people who are dissatisfied with barack obama's handling of the economy. that is his task over the next six weeks. >> and that's what he's failed to do so far, get people to walk through the door that's been open all year. >> as a matter of fact, people's perceptions are getting better. their perception of the economy is improving. it's

electorally. and you know, what's going -- what would have to happen between now and election day to change the trajectory for mitt romney? >> well, you know, first of all as you so rightly point out jennifer, he's gotta get out of panic mode. he's acting like john mccain did four years ago. he's making decisions. he's acting nonpresidential. he doesn't look like a leader. so the first thing he's got to do if i was advising, i would say look, let's just step back here. we've been through a lot of campaigns. what the american people want to hear is a plan on the economy for me. what they want to hear is something that makes some sense. they've got the criticism. they've got all of the negative ads. karl rove is blitzing all our tvs with his crazy negative ads. what they want out of a candidate now is some sense that he has a different sort of plan. but the trouble is, jennifer, he doesn't have one! you know. as the president so rightly says, take two tax cuts and call me in the morning. >> jennifer

there are a total of 538 electors, divide that in half, add one and that number, 270, is how many electoral votes to win the president. according to the nbc electoral map, 2:30 electoral votes are leaning democratic, 191 are leading republican, which leaves 110 up for grabs. since we are chewing over all the facts and figures, i thought i would bring out the gumballs. here we have the blue gumballs. they are president barack obama's 237 electoral votes. here are red gumballs, are mitt romney's 191 electoral votes. these gumballs are the key. the yellow ones, they are the 110 electoral votes belonging to the toss-up states. to reach 270, president obama only needs 33 of these yellow gumballs. mitt romney needs 79. let's take a look at presidential polls. this is the latest nbc news wall street marist poll of three of the states holding the yellow gumballs, ohio, virginia and florida. in both florida and virginia, president obama leads romney by five points among voters. 49% to 44%. in ohio, the president leads by seven points, 52-43. if the election were held today and they voted the way the
