let me play it. >> i compare it to the ally/frazier fight in 1971 where frazier knocked the champ down. no one expected ali won the second and third fights. he can't overcorrect, and he needs not protect his likability too much. >> he's comparing it to 1971. here we are in current year, current time. what adoes the president need to do, david, tomorrow with this platform of a town hall debate as well? >> i would focus on my strengths if i was president obama, and something that mitt romney cannot touch, no matter what, is president obama's ability to connect with people and say, i'm like you. i experienced what you experienced. if i were president obama, one of the things i would do is say, hey, look, if you're a student. i had student debt up until a couple years ago, so did michelle. if you're unemployed, my grandfather was unemployed. i grew up in a household led by someone unemployed. he can draw the connection between his own personal experience and the experience of most americans way, way better than mitt romney can. he doesn't have to be stri dent about it. he makes that connec

if you think of the classic ali/frazier fights, frazier had a very good first fight, he lost the restof the other two and i think history remembers winners. that's what i think's going to happen here. but no charging, raging or anything like that from the president. >> but it's been interesting to see how the president changes his demeanor. he was lackluster. i think you put it down to just being ring rusty. he just seemed to be disengaged in the whole process of the debate. i presume that you and other supporters have sent word look, mr. president, we need some fire in the belly tomorrow night. >> well, you know, i know that the president has plenty of fire in the belly but you know what, governor romney has gone awful far off this debate. it was just two weeks before that debate or days before that debate where he was losing almost every swing state so we understand that he had a good debate and we understand that we're in a neck and neck race but most people would still rather have president obama's hand. i really watched the earlier segment and thought that was really interesting.
