mr. murdoch has put his foot in his mouth again, and that is a tight race, but will the democrats hold on to the senate and the republicans hold on to the house? >> the gop is almost certainly going to hold on to the house. it is really an open question on the senate, but i think democrats are in a much better spot than they would have been a year ago because of the combination of factors. if it is possible harry reid and the democrats could keep a narrow majority of two votes or even one vote. i think the key is to watch what happens at the presidential level. a handful of races are going to turn what happened on the top of the ticket, and if obama is pulling out a narrow victory, that could help democrats. tavis: the labour party is considering delaying because of her regain -- of hurricane sandy. i could argue both ways. depending on whether the numbers are good or bad, should they delay? >> they work for the taxpayers, but there is no question of conspiracy maundering. >> we will see what happens. then't you get out of message that creates. thanks for your time. good to have you. see

mr. murdoch is spot on with this.ve had several senior people from the jewish community including two rabbis who say the jewish vote will still go, at least 60% to president obama. and you say. >> i think so, too, but it's starting to whittle down quite a bit. as you start to look at the economy, and people in the united states, jews in the united states and my friends will vote not because of the economy, but for other issues and other reasons, the economy is the most important thing, but in terms of israel i will it will you flat out israelis are very uncomfortable with president obama. stuart: all right, public relations firm rbb commissioned a study to find out brand loyalty, when it comes to politics. i have to say once again, i was right. first the top democrat brands, liberals prefer google, whole foods and starbucks. warren buffett's berkshire hathaway also makes the list for the left. and for the the republicans, very different story, top brands are wal-mart, caterpillar, mcdonald's. all right, everybody i wa

mr. murdoch, one minute.ourdock: foreign policy is of critical concern of course that in the middle east we must first and foremost standby or great friend, israel and we must be making the message that no options can be taken off the table as we look towards a nuclear iran. to the bigger point of our national security, you know what was the former head of the joint chiefs of staff, admiral mullen, said the greatest threat to national security is our own national debt. the fact we've now spend ourselves into a $16 trillion debt is inexcusable. the fact we continue to see that that would have raised an mr. donnelly has received no less than seven tenths without demanding fiscal responsibility, this is a clear and present danger. you know, we continue to the money from people who would borrow money. we have to get our spending under control and then when we do that, will again be out to make sure we fully fund the military to make sure we're going to always have the greatest military defense in the world. >> mo

mr. murdoch is that mr. irani picked a guy that old mr. to be exact same view. >> when it comes to rape and when it comes to the issue, should it be legal for a woman to get an abortion? >> i am very proud of my pro-life record. i have the position that the method of conception doesn't change the definition of life. >> rape, the method of conception. the correction is that the republican party has become so extreme that they not only put a vice president, will have -- the republican party has chosen seven u.s. senate nominees who hold that position. incredible embrace of what was previously a very radical position. not just call ryan, but the seven senate candidates. turns out i was wrong. it's not seven, it's apparently 12 of them. we have calls and with all of the senate campaigns that are new to our list. they have on the record statements from these other republican senate nominee is indicating they think the government should force rape victims to carry their pregnancies to term. in 2004 as he said she did believe in rape and incest v

mr. murdoch said.l. how dare you say such a thing? maybe he should experience it. >> maybe he should go to high security prison for awhile. >> stephanie: maggie, it is really -- i don't think he understands the depth of how offensive that is to women. their only excuse is you twisted my words. really? how did we twist your words by playing what you said? >> it is exactly what he said. maybe it should be god's will the rapist falls off the roof or something should happen to him before he commits such an act. >> i'm all for that. >> saddle it up. clack, clack boom. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: jana in kentucky. >> caller: you caught me eating. everyone who is against women's choice or contraceptives should have to publicly announce it and make a pledge they're only going to have sex for the purpose of contraception -- >> procreating. >> caller: yeah, just to have the baby. they have to prove they have enough money to raise a child. and if they believe that cluster of cells is a person then they're going to

mr. murdoch id explicitly that my version of.com -- my version of compromises when the democrats come overe. so where do you fall on this? >> is a very important question. my idea of compromise is the same exact as ronald reagan. president reagan said, what do you to if they ask you half a loaf. you take it. and then you come back f more. i am perfectly happy to compromise and work with anybody, republicans, democts, independents, libertarians. i have joop before that i will work with marcion's -- if they are willing to shrink the size and power of the federal government. i think we're facing a fiscal and economic cliff and we need to solve that problem. i have no interest in going to washington and giving a bunch of cathartic speeches. we're there to fix the problem. that is what texans are looking for, cereus leaders to ensure the opportunity and prosperity that everyone of us has been blessed to enjoy. but that it is therefore our kids and grandkids. on compromise, i am happy to work on an agreement. us say tax reform, i fully support simplifying the tax code, moving to a low uniform bu

mr. romney, does not agree with murdoch's comments. >> live from washington. we'll check in with you. if you want it get that big board halloween costume, you might be out of luck. mitt romney has made big bird the it costume. in the second debate romney made big bird the symbol of government spending. sales of costumes rose 600%. within days of the comment, they were out of stock. >> they were out. >> even big bird gone political. >>> what was once a blight along baltimore harbor has been restored. >> it's a very special celebration. >> reporter: it's a delicate job, rebuilding hope. it's along the patapsco river between brook will be and fairfield. for more than a century it was a mess. >> this was a dumping ground and it dated back to the great baltimore fire of 1904. >> reporter: it was a burial ground for the broken and abandoned, one of the the most contaminated sites, now being transformed in the nature area. >> the nature hear is home to clearer soil, native trees and shrubs and wetland plants. >> reporter: more than 60,000 tons of trash and debris were removed. today fourth g

mr. murdoch.s far as the hard work and what they have been doing, i certainly appreciate that spirit, i hope you appreciate that i come from an entirely different paradigm. when they offer government as a solution, i see that as a problem. whenever something comes up where he says something is constitutional, i appreciate the fact that he is making constitutional other than a bad word, because people used to think as it as a -- document. i do not flinch when people say they are 80 party candidate -- a tea party candidate. i know a lot of people supporting him over me. while i should take that personally, i get it and i think he is a good guy. as far as mr. donnelly, i have had nothing but pleasant interactions with him. i do not want to go out with him with a beer or not, but he is a good man. both of these guys are honorable, but i operate on a different paradigm and i choose not to operate as a cog in the machine. i have nothing bad to say about them, i appreciate everything they have done, i ha

mr. casey and i have to get quote exactly right. indiana senate candidate richard murdochod intended to happen." mr. casey, do you agree that life conceived by rape is a gift from good god that should nevere aborted? >> i don't agree with what he said. it was an outrageous statement. i do think there's a lot of common ground on the issue of abortion, believe it or not. i'm a pro life democrat. i've had that position as a candidate all these years, 16 years as a public official and i know the divisions in the debate but i think there are a lot of ways to bring folks together not just democrats and republicans but folks across the country to emphasize areas where we can agree, reduce the number of abortions and unwanted pregnancies. example number one is to invest in family planning and contraception and fund it. i have a voting record that does that. number two, provide incentives for adoption. i have put forth and it was adopted into law a $1.2 billion adoption tax credit. and thirdly, legislation that i introduced became enacted into law to make sure that if a pregnant wo

he was asked a number of questions about the comments from candidate richard murdoch mr.s not distanced himself from the candidate. that is something that he would likely be questioned about. romney said they raised $111 million in just the first two weeks of october. another example of the growing momentum since mr. romney has had with the first debate. the pace of the race's accelerated dramatically. last night in cedar rapids, iowa, mitt romney was pressing his msm advantage, making the argument that it is diminishing on the above site because it is an agenda actually, for a second term. the desire is for real change in the economy. >> the obama campaign is slipping, but our campaign is going into a movement across the country that says we are going to get america back and get america strong. reporter: both candidates have a long day ahead of them. it seems that neither one of them envision getting the 270 electoral votes about the state of ohio. history and the numbers suggest he has to pull off a victory here. martha: they have to vote when the victory goes on a plat

mr. carey. next speaker, dennis mckenzie and -- >> hi. i'm heather murdoch. i did want to say i recognize the very difficult budget situation at school districts across california are facing. i'm a strong believer in public education and for our education system t. does need properly funded. given, that it's surprising the district is deliberately walking away from state money by not ed keg transitional kindergarten children. the number of children who were in the mix in january were 400. that number today dropped to 190. a very rough calculation said a district lost over a million in state funning. just a.d.a. doesn't take into account english language learner funds or extra funding that come when's you enroll 200 children. that number might increase any more. district is asking for funds from the city. i'm not about to say the city shouldn't do that because i think the district needs the funds. i did want to point ut back drop is the district has for some reason chosen not to educate children and chosen to walk away from money at the same time. it's shockin

murdoch as well as campaign cochair john sununu. joining me now is brett o'donald a debate coach for mitt romney as well as -- >> i want to take a his within you to mrchair john sununu in an interview on thursday. i'm sure you've heard it but let's play it for our viewer who may not have. >> when you take a look at colin powell you have to wonder if that's an endorsement based on issues or if he's got a slightly different reason for preferring president obama. >> what reason would that be? >> well, i think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the united states, i applaud colin for standing with him. >> so brett, what was your reaction when you heard that? >> well, i mean, i think that's a little off message. and governor sununu has addressed that remark. i respect colin powell. the messenger that really needs to be paid attention to is governor romney. and paying attention to what he's actually saying. and i think the speech he delivered in iowa sort of laid out exactly what their message is going to be for the rest of the campaign. >> you know, there are cynics who would suggest, brett, that john sununu is

mr. romney's agenda and ed paisley who supports president obama. but neither is an official campaign spokesman. ""the communicators" here on c-span duoat 8:00 a.m. -- indiana u.s. senate debate. republican state treasurer richard murdoch goes against joe donly. they rate the race a tossup. >> this isn't about governor bush, it's not about me. it is about you. and i want to come back to something i said before. if you want somebody who believes that we were better off eight years ago than we are now, and that we ought to go back to the kind of policy we had back then, emphasizing tax cuts mainly for the wealthy, here is your man. if you want somebody who will fight for you, and who will fight to have middle class tax cuts, then i am your man. i want to be. now i doubt anybody here makes more than $3 30,000 a year. i want to ask you. if you do you would be in the top 1%. >> it would be in violation of the rules. >> i'm not going ask. if anyone here in the audience was dead on in the middle of the middle class, then the tax cut for every singling one of you all added up would be less than that the tax plan would give to one member of that top wealthiest 1%. you judge for yourself whether or not that's true. >> >> moderat

murdoch -- mourdock, republican, and joe donnelly, democrat. gentlemen, thanks for being with us tonight. we'll begin with opening statements beginning with mr. mourdock. >> with 14 days to go one thing is clear, andwith six years of record behind him, my opponent, mr. donnelly, has a clear track record of saying one thing and then heading a different direction by the time he's serving in office. he's a fiscal conservative, he says, and yet he supported still lurk he supports big spending. the fact is as we're going forward now, you need to know about who the other candidates are, and can quite simply, i'm a geologist, unlikely as it may seem. five years ago i was asked to join governor daniels' team, and i did my part to make sure indiana lived within its means. we've kept this state going, we've been a part of the comeback. we look forward to taking hugheser common sense principles to washington. >> moderator: thank you very much, mr. morning? morning: i won't belayer the -- belabor the point i made last time, so i don't need to say too much about the two-party system. most people agree with me now more than they agree with the other guys,
