so, as joe anna was saying. this come from the word meaning to tell stores. this is a story teller. you guys i heard out there i was listening a birdie told me you thought you were going to see a movie; right ? >> you are. in the old days this comes from what country? india. thousands of years ago and hundreds of years ago in india there were no movie theatres, no television, no radio, no comic books or no books for people like you and me to read. was this the same here? >> yes. all offer the world it was like that. ask your parents. they can tell you what it was like before the internet. so, people told stores. i bet you tell stories. did you tell a story today? >> yeah, i bet you did you went up to our friend and said, did you see that? your friend said, no, no he didn't. right? that's a story. so, i will tell you a story. in india, here we have super heroes like, tell me a hero. >> super man. we have super heroes in india. krishna. lifts mountains and throws them to the ocean to create bridges. i will tell you the story about a super hero. krishna as a little boy in the village w

. >> the only other person to debate joe bide anna nicole a vice presidential debate is sarah palin. have you called her for advice? >> i haven't. i don't really know her. >> would you? >> sure, sure. >> nice to meet you. can i call you joe? thanks. >> famously or maybe infamously said she wanted to call him joe because she was calling him joe o. biden. >> i know him as joe. >> will you call him as joe? >> i don't know. i haven't given much thought to that. probably not unless he wants to make it casual. we know each other and gotten along quite well over the years. i like joe personally quite a bit. i just disagree with the policies. >> so he's not included in his debate prep calling the only person to ever actually stand on the vice presidential stand with joe biden, that is sarah palin. but i also -- it was a good reminder to us that he does know joe biden. i covered them for years both serving together in gr they wor. say it they've butted heads is since biden has been vice president up and down pennsylvania avenue so that's a dynamic we didn't see with mitt romney and barack obam

. >> i know anna loves joe biden, so she's looking forward to tonight. >> i actually do. >> i know youme start with some questions before you guys actually jump in. there's a lot of pressure tonight after president obama's lackluster performance on the debates. here is how "snl" put it. >> is there anything more exciting than joe biden thinking it's up to him to get the lead back? it's tivo time. >> so if biden does not do well tonight, is it damaging to the campaign, richard? >> i think he needs to do well for the important reason that the momentum is clearly with governor romney now after the debate he had with president obama. so i think joe biden could do something really good for his boss and for us democrats, and that is try and stop the momentum that governor romney has. if he doesn't, it's going to be a problem, because there's another week to go before president obama has a shot at it himself. >> anna, president obama talked about the vice presidential debate with abc. let's listen. >> i think joe just needs to be joe. congressman ryan is a smart and effective speaker but his

, and the two who will be watching closest we anticipate because janna ryan and joe biden the wives. what do we know, annaesident obama and mitt romney will be watching this the closest. second to them will be jenna ryan and jill biden. what do we know about jenna ryan? we don't know much. she has been a private person even during the campaign. i think that's been design. knee got three small children. i suspect she's very much trying to protect their privacy. look, these two ladies, though, seem to be fantastic. we do know a lot about jill biden, and about jenna, she's a tax lawyer. she's no ditzy blonde. she's a smart woman. has her tax law degree. she worked in washington. they have three small children. she's chosen to do the same thing that jill biden did when joe biden was elected senator, which is to keep the family at home, to keep the family at the district, which is something a lot of congressional spouses do as they feel that the family and the kids grow up more grounded. >> donna, tell us about jill biden. she's on the public stage, and she's a professional in her own right and regarding educa

anna? >> i missed the truth serum this morning. listen, i think that juden -- joeen gets an a-plus from democrats. did everything he needed to do. all that face smiling, everything he needed to do after we saw a relatively flat president obama. i do think representative ryan did okay. under very difficult circumstances, you know, he looked like someone who knew a little bit about what he was talking about, but when some of the stuff he says today gets fact checked it will not hold up as well, and i think joe biden was fantastic. >> one of the most important sentences you said there was democrats are happy, democrats are energized and one of the things we have seen in this election so far is turning somewhat a base election, which side wants to turn out for their side more. do you think, and i'll ask you both, do you think this was enough to get democrats back in the game mentally and emotionally? >> i think it was exactly enough, exactly what was required, and the interesting thing is going to be if barack obama can pull this out and get re-elected he'll owe it to

anna bell. >> you're going to be fine. >> you booed her. >> it's "morning joe." we'll see you back in new york. stick around right now for chuck todd. >>> foreign exchange, third debate between president obama and mitt romney. packed a punch. the biggest bellwether of the night might be a back and forth, not over the middle east, china or europe but ohio. a battle over the buckeye state was one of the few topics that pushed romney to engage the president and ohio's one of seven battleground states. we'll show you where you'll see the candidates nonstop. one state not on the list anymore, nevada. find out why the silver state may be gold for the president's electoral vote. good morning from lynn university in boca raton, florida. two weeks until election day. let me repeat, it's two weeks until election day, and also october 23, 2012, this is "the daily rundown" and i'm chucked to. let's get to first reads. the third and final debate between president obama and mitt romney was a study in contrast. but it wasn't contrast on the debate itself. an aggressive presiden

i have to tell my good friend anna president obama has not been in a one on one debate since october 2008 unless he's doing something behind closed doors with joey has been the one like i say well prepared and he speaks in perfect sound bites. >> anna, weigh in on the weaknesses. this is what he says in terms of weakness. for romney, too smooth. debating from behind. they talk about obama's weaknesses saying that he has a slow approach, sometimes a stuttering approach and he can be somewhat long-winded. how do you evaluate that. >> i think both of them have strengths and weaknesses. i disagree that some of those are disagree that some are weaknesses and some are strengths. president obama's detachment can be a weakness. sometimes he can come across aloof and detached. detached from what's going on at that moment. both are capable of losing their cool. i've seen it happen with both of them in previous debates. mitt romney actually being from behind can be an advantage for him. the times i've seen him do best is when he is the underdog, when he is on the ropes. i saw him do best, probably his two best debates, suzanne were the florida debates wit

joe." it's time to talk about what we learned today. mika, you have a guest. >> i have anna who do you think should win the election, anna bell? >> mitt romney. >> there you go. >> i'm with you. thank you so much. you're a wise, wise girl. what did you learn today? >> booing an 8-year-old girl. >> what did
