coast, and what happens next is going to be key over the next 24-48 hours provment jexes, most make this sharp turn, once the storms gets off of north carolina, a turn, inward towards the mid atlantic. where in this track we can't say. through the center towards delaware, but pehappens it will be slightly to the north of that, cold air marching in, the cold air system with jet stream energy, going to tie in, wrap in to the storm both systems coming together, starting saturday night, our weather will begin to go down, sunday as sandy comes in, the jet stream comes in and the front mixes in as well. let's head over to mike masco. >>> let's talk about the scenario, impressive storm, that's what we will talk about. if it doesn't go over your neighborhoods you are going to feel the effects. i want to show you something. i want to show you how large wyatt everhart was talking 1200 miles in, what the set is up, here is storm, it's going to go towards the north, the guidance has been spot on for that. then the question is when does it ma tick hook in to the coastal sections? is it over new jerse

there's been a confusion about what help jex objects of those words were you know initially the object is supposedly. you know two of the six security objects of various kinds you know but then they get confused repairs political and hard you're looking to project a product and transform the societies in the american or in the west and self-image because that that that makes the whole scenario very complicated but also it seems like if you compare the wars that were fought in the twentieth century i would say the second world war since we started off with that. it was also an involvement of ideological clashes like communism liberalism fascism. what's important today ideology or nationalism or patrick isn't what what would drive people today to actually you know want to win a war i think there are geological issues at stake in these various contemporary conflicts you know what various western governments and the elite eight western public opinion see has been the stake is no western liberal democracy and the values that that represents and various terrorists and fundamentalists oppose

just economics in america, but the economic projection, the values projection and foreign policy pro jex. >> let me ask you about the format. debate formats have been krit krzyzewskied. it's going to be six segments. the moderator has some ability to let it go and bring the conversation more broadly. breathe more than we've seen in the past. does that favor one person or the other? >> no, i don't think so. i think as you know, who goes first was determined by coin flip and there's a slight advantage of having your opponent go first. in the opening, romney won the coin toss because president obama goes first and that means that mitt romney can make adjustments after he's spoken, even after that some. i think in the larger scheme of things, he's very experienced in this. he's a complete pro, but these are not actually debates. we've had this conversation before. they are interesting televised appearances with some aspects of debate. but i do think that the answer to something you raised earlier, that from mitt romney may indeed want to refer to what happened in benghazi and libya, oversigh

here where i'm standing, we're hearing fro jexs of a surge, anywhere between six and 12 inches of theld be standing in that water and maybe up to the knees or the waste at this point if those projections hold true. as a result the governor has issued that the subway system and the mass transit system here in new york city will shut down subways. last train tonight at 7:00, buses after 9:00. then the bridges and tunnels are still open right now. but if the wind picks up in that area, those two could shut down. you've got the physical trading floor down here in lower manhattan, that will be closed down. also broadway shows will not have shows tonight or tomorrow and tuesday, we'll have to wait and see what happens there. that zone a, that low-lying area in and around lower manhattan as well as other boroughs, those mandatory evacuations are in place, it seems like people are taking this seriously. some of the people we talked to had been here during irene and some of them say oh, i might stay, and others are like, no, this seems to be a little more ominous. >> new yorkers can be stubbor
