ford o'connell is here. let me start with you.e the larger crowds that we're seeing commensurate with the enthusiast response to governor romney's debate performance which was watched by 70 million americans, many of whom were voters? >> you know, the larger crowds are great sign of governor romney's mounting momentum, trust me, i'd be worried if the crowds were getting smaller. but to be perfectly honest with you, he still is trailing president obama by about 15 to 20 electoral votes and essentially he's got a lot more work to do to convince americans he has a plan to make america recover faster than president obama and that his plan is on balance will actually improve the lives of all americans over the next four years. if he can do that. president obama is really in trouble. but right now, this whole thing could come down to ohio. >> gregg: alexis, it's been said either will rogers or oscar wild, i can't remember whom, but you never get a second chance to make a first impression. and for many voters, that first debate was their
