i am sick of it, obama or romney. i just want to weigh up the issues. obama or romney. still thinking. obama or romney. still not sure. every election these undecided voters wait until the very last -- wait a second were these the same. oh, my, god. the same people from before? really? again. after all these years. >> because we're thinkers. we're thinkers. >> okay. you are going to decide tonight. nobody's getting out of here if they don't make a decision. nobody. >> can i go to the bathroom first. >> jaw meal, are you did you de. clearly i wasn't getting through to them. clearly i'm no expert so i sat down with sh shina. >>y been studying choice and the waive we make choices in our life. >> how do you decide who you're going to be rooting for in this election? >> i did feel that this is not an easy choice. >> oh no, no, no, no. >> jon: the choice lady. the choice lady couldn't choose. >> that's right. >> jon: what did you do. >> you know me, jon i'm kind of known around the office as a problem solver full of ingenuity and whatnot, so i took care of business. give me on

i am sick of it, obama or romney. i just want to weigh up the issues. obama or romney. still thinking. obama or romney. still not sure. every election these undecided voters wait until the very last -- wait a second were these the same. oh, my, god. the same people from before? really? again. after all these years. >> because we're thinkers. we're thinkers. >> okay. you are going to decide tonight. nobody's getting out of here if they don't make a decision. nobody. >> can i go to the bathroom first. >> jaw meal, are you did you de. clearly i wasn't getting through to them. clearly i'm no expert so i sat down with sh shina. >>y been studying choice and the waive we make choices in our life. >> how do you decide who you're going to be rooting for in this election? >> i did feel that this is not an easy choice. >> oh no, no, no, no. >> jon: the choice lady. the choice lady couldn't choose. >> that's right. >> jon: what did you do. >> you know me, jon i'm kind of known around the office as a problem solver full of ingenuity and whatnot, so i took care of business. give me on

tremendous influence, especially in the metro area. >> you will see a real difference, whether obama or romneys president, particularly in the washington area based upon what programs get funded by the president. if you work at the epa, you have a very different policies depending on obama or romney. >> one interesting note from washington bureau chief, she said she's watching all this tonight and the one place she's going to be watching to see how the race is shaping up, loudoun county, virginia. it's the swing county in the swing state and who does well there may just be our next president. >> certainly bears watching. here's topper with our forecast. >>> the nor'easter does appear to be a glancing blow. clouds are on the way in, chilly 43. winds out of the north- northeast at nine. they will pick up overnight, pressure steady 0.37 inches of mercury. not a direct hit. breezy and cold tonight. i think tomorrow morning's commute will be dry and rain, possibly mixed with wet snow late tomorrow and especially tomorrow night. higher impact at the shore where we could see winds upwards of 50 miles

and barack obama regardless of whether or not romney gets elected or obama gets elected three things are going to happen we're going to find ourselves with a continued heightened police state in this country we're going to find ourselves continuing to militarily intervene in the world which results has resulted in hundreds of millions of enemies to this country that wouldn't otherwise exist the similarity of views that president obama and mitt romney showed during their foreign policy debate became a matter of numerous jokes on foreign policy it appears that all that's left for the presidential race is this one model. i mean at least we still get our choice of color but. the us mainstream media are entirely focused on the two party race the majority of americans know very little if anything about alternatives jule styne of the green party why sit down with before her arrest is not going to be represented on ballot papers in every state the american system is designed to eliminate political opposition like some of the you know dictatorsh

so no matter who comes in, whether it's obama or romney -- in the case of romney, it will take one toears for the dust to settle down. u.s., china relationship will come back an eventually stabilize because it's in the interest of both sides to keep a stable relationship. >> dominique, when you look at the european crisis, what i'm struck at is this may be the major international crisis where united states is really something of a bystander. it's not really involved much. it's involved on the margins. do europeans, is this part of the world? do europeans like this? do they wish the united states were more involved or are they thinking, you know what, we have the mechanisms to handle this and we're glad the obama administration is staying out? >> well, i think the europeans are witnessing the change, and it's not a question or liking it or disliking it. it's a reality. and from the standpoint, i think the europeans a bit like the chinese would say obama or romney, by the end of the day, it may not make such a big difference either on foreign policy or even in economic policy. but by th

the arab world i love them just said it doesn't really matter it doesn't really matter if obama got elected or romney got elected they are just two faces or two heads of the same point and the foreign policy of the us is not going to change just because we have obama in power or we have romney i love a lot of them were. very disappointed with obama that they think having either romney or obama is not just going to be any worse than the past four years. couldn't agree more with us talk about israel you know a lot of people were talking to you during the lead up to the election the saying well here's the lesser of two evils you have romney who would definitely attack iran and then you have obama who wouldn't attack iran i personally never saw any indication that obama would attack iran and he said no option was off the table he said that he would draw a hard line he's been catering to netanyahu they've been competing for who can you know cater toward him more so i mean really what do you think about that like just the whole israel situation what do you think should have happened with iran and was there

working class will always lose millions of workers know that regardless of who wins this election obama or romney that their lies will not improve masses of working class people are totally disenfranchise within eight to big business party system some three billion dollars in corporate cash behind obama and romney completely vacuous debates completely scripted and the trampling of basic democratic rights including a president obama who declares his right to assassinate anyone including american citizens without the slightest pretense of due process these great issues have been completely excluded from the elections and voting underway across the eastern usa is already hitting trouble the army's been called in to help set up mo biled polling stations in areas devastated by last week's superstorm elsewhere election lawsuits already being filed in foreign monitors in iowa being told if they so much as come close to the voting stations they'll be arrested is more important as the story. polls in the u.s. have opened and for the first time in history americans are embracing election day in the shadow

who's best for federal workers, obama or romney? obama or romney? their jobs and careers could be affected by who occupies the white house for the next four years, what time you sir, who's better? >> patch act, i can't speak to that. >> what about you? obama or romney? >> i would say from a military's perspective. i'm a spouse, michelle obama has done great things for military families. >> reporter: romney has promised to reduce the federal work force by 10%, cutting two jobs for every one that's filled. who's better romney or obama for fedel workers? >> it's a question contains a logical fallacy. i'm not going to answer that. >> i'd have to say obama might be the better. >> reporter: because? >> it seems romney might want to slash some jobs and cut unnecessary spending. >> reporter: romney would eliminate some departments and cap government spending at 20% without cutting defense spending. >> i disagree with that. he's going to take a beat ax and not think about it. >> romney wants to lay us off and obama just froze our salaries so i guess between

today or the most when world will doubtless be watching the vote who's the candidate do you think obama or romney. well i think it's very clear the orientation or the inclination of the muslims is to vote for obama before we began this interview i was speaking with one of the arab american colleagues in washington who told me that basically all of the or a majority of the muslim americans are voting for barack obama which is nothing surprising i believe although or bomber has continued with the double standard policy with respect to the israeli palestinian issue although he has continued the unwavering american support for israel the basic belief amongst the american muslims and even amongst muslims here in the middle east is an obama to the least extent is the less of two evils because we all know the rhetoric which has been used by romney or romney has basically could be a billion dollars to buy that he was reading right by the likud party romney has also criticized or bombers have extended a hand towards iran although obama has also imposed very harsh sanctions on the islamic republic and we a

millions of workers know that regardless of who wins this election obama or romney that their lives will not improve masses of working class people are totally disenfranchise within a too big business party system some three billion dollars in corporate cash behind obama and romney. that. debates completely unscripted and the trampling of basic democratic rights including a president obama who declares his right to assassinate anyone including american citizens without the slightest pretense of due process these great issues have been completely excluded from the elections. so a large the fall election coverage will be bringing you the latest results expert analysis and international reaction with our correspondents on standby across the globe. the six america votes for its next president. wielders the us drive to. get the news the mainstream missives with a place like. the u.s. election. dot com to other news now thousands of greeks have watched through athens in the latest show of anger against hopeful start being forced upon them the government has to vote on a new package of pension

that are anti human to go to the polls and vote for either wall street sponsored candidate for obama or romney is to basically give the a mandate for four more years of the saying it may be a reluctant vote in your mind but in their mind it's an absolute mandate to keep raking us over the coals the real step dad is the wasted vote the real vote is to stand up and vote for real solutions that we will only get if we push forward we are the ones we've been waiting for i say that's your ways to vote voting for somebody you don't believe in vote for somebody you believe in that's how you chain . the system when you vote for a party that doesn't care about what you need that doesn't do anything progressive it doesn't do anything for your community then you're wasting your vote you know if you continue to support a party that does not care about working people of that is throwing your vote away well there you have it straight from the third party candidates of this election or you can take it from just even target former independent governor of minnesota. here's the simple answer stop voting for them

romney. it stopped his momentum. maybe the polls or all wrong and romney is going to win anyway, but if you looking at the polls right now, obama has got it. >> did ghani have momentum, was that republican --romney of momentum, or was that republican spin? >> he definitely add momentum after the first debate. >> we ve had thr sin then. i wish i could say definitively that there is momentum ornamented i cannot tell. there are polls every hour on the hour, and you just get a sense that this is very tight, even when you go to some of the battle ground states. >> what do you make of this, mark? >> yes, the first debate made an enormous difference in the campaign, allowing mitt romney to reintroduce himself with no opposition on the part of the president as massachusetts reasonable mitt. gone was the saber-rattling mitt route, the suspec -- round up the suspects mitt and send them to caracas. [laughter] he became reasonable, intelligent, boys. forget the cayman islands and the swiss bank accounts. that did change the race. frank bruni of "the new york times" made a telling point -- the first deba was important because it may preside

romney will be the next president of the united states. because the polls all show new hampshire has a virtual dead heat. perhaps a slight edge to obama. they show obama with a four ort edge in pennsylvania. if that's not the case, then i think all of these close races we can have some degree of confidence will break towards governor romney. i think we could have an early night. if, on the other hand, the polling in new hampshire is exactly what the vote says, then we could have a long night. so i think if governor romney is going to win, i think we'll know pretty quickly. otherwise, it's going to be a long night. >> yeah, but i mean, do you believe the polls? the polls are basically saying that even if it's just a fractional lead, the president is in the lead. so why would you think that these polls would crack toward romney? >> maria, the polls are a point in time. what matters most is the momentum. i think over the last three days -- and it's the eve of the election. there's no need for any spin. the polls have been open for 11 hours. i honestly think when you look at the crowds that governor romney has been getting, when you look at the body language of governor

we created indices of stocks to gain under obama or romney. in president obama's basket we have home building, auto stocks. a lot of solar powered company. in romney's portfolio, coal, oil, gas, utilities and managed care. what's the trade here the day before the election? >> just having some sort of certainty once we get results the markets will have are a relief rally or investors should be relieved. >> just knowing the answer? >> sure. it's so close. >> that would be by today. >> i think you can. i think you have to come back to. we know the sectors that will work under romney and that will work under obama. you have to focus on fundamentals and you can buy banks under either scenario. fundamentals in the banks and financials have improved. they will benefit if romney wins because because of less regulation. energy has done well and i think you can continue to own the energy stocks. i think you have to come back to fundamentals. we just got earnings. so we got a lot of information we could digest to figure out where to go. >> i think first

romney. maybe the polls are wrong, but if you're looking at the polls right now, obama has got it. >> did romney have momentum or was that just republican spin? >> he did have momentum after the first debate -- >> we have had a three since then -- >> what obama was never able to recapture the lead. >> i cannot say with certainty that there was momentum, no momentum. i cannot tell. you look at the polls hour after hour and you get a sense that this thing is very tight, even when you go to some of the battle ground states. >> yes, the first debate made an enormous difference in the campaign. it allowed mitt romney to reintroduce himself with no opposition on the part of the president as the moderate massachusetts reasonable mitt. gone was the saber-rattling mitt, keep out the foreigners mitt, round up the suspects mitt and send them to practice -- [laughter] he became reasonable, intelligent, poised, forget the cayman islands and the swiss bank accounts. frank bruni of "the new york times" made a telling point -- the first debate was important because it may president obama in the next two debates more truculent t

now it's in colorado, is obama or romney going to take it?ou find too often that people don't realize the latino vote is undersampled when it comes to polling. i think we'll see a lot of surprises tonight. >> well that's surprising, because you have rattled off a bit about the states. and there's a state with more than a million latino voters. on election day you have 2.4 million latinos that have come to -- of age to vote. that's three electoral seats. also because there's such an extreme view that's been taken by republicans that latinos feel like they have no choice but to go democratic. because of the tone republican party has taken in the last year and a half over the latino voter, they feel they have no choice but to go to the democratic party. let's not forget that president bush realized he had to have a tempered tone when it came to the latino people, so he won with a very heavy support by latinos. >> and he has been all over the networks, >> right behind his mom. >> the whole biden family. voting in delaware. we're talking to maria.

bottom line is whoever wins this election, obama or romney, will have to work with china's new leadership, which takes power later this month. these companies have a direct relationship. it will likely evolve, but it's something both sides have to maintain and nurture, because their economies are intertwined and interdependent. >> that was susumu kojima reporting from washington. >>> asian and european leaders are discussing ways to strengthen economic and political ties during a two-day meeting in laos. among their main concerns is the global economic slowdown triggered by the european credit crisis. the asia/europe meeting brings together leaders and cabinet ministers from 49 countries. >> translator: this year's asia europe meeting is being held amid the global financial crisis. the gathering is drawing hopes that it will help solve the variety of problems faced by asia and europe. >> eu president herman van rompuy called for an expansion of trade to deepen economic ties with asia. >> our interdependence is greater than ever. european union is firmly committed to its responsibilities a

whether or not romney gets elected or obama gets elected three things are going to happen we're going to find ourselves with a continued heightened police state in this country we're going to find ourselves continuing to militarily intervene in the world which results has resulted in hundreds of millions of enemies to this country that wouldn't otherwise exist there's a reason why we shouldn't be using drones it's because we don't just take out the target we take out a lot of innocent civilians in these countries where it was and then lastly we are going to find ourselves in a continued state of and sustainable spending and borrowing to the point that we are going to experience a monetary collapse unless we fix this. so too much spending and borrowing that is a topic that you know all the candidates seem to have spoken on but drones i remember when a question was asked about drones in the final about foreign policy debate between obama and romney people on twitter are like i can't believe you're asking about drones this is so insignificant but in fact abbie thomas kind of drove it is

but has it ever occurred to you that it doesn't really matter if you vote for president obama or governor romney because essentially you'll be getting the same deal with both of them where change your mind to know that the same lobbyists and special interest groups are funny both of them the problem is that the media packaging of these people is such that works specter to believe without question that these superficial differences between the two are actually substantive but it's all a propaganda scheme designed to. nothing more than a blind you into conformity and trick you into ignoring your right to vote your conscience in the debates it's just the biggest charade of all isn't it their one massively overhyped puppet show and the puppet masters of the corporate c.e.o. is funding these candidates to maintain control by lining the pockets of our politicians they keep their corporate policies in place and their bottom lines filled all the rest of us remain under served and under represented. the bare truth is that mitt romney supports nearly all of the same policies as barack obama from health ca

or not. >> another call today from deutsche bank saying that there's a rally if obama wins and a rally if romneyins going into year end. depends if you look at 1450 or 1500. >> some have said there's a bond market rally for one and stock market rally for other. bond market for obama. easy money so to speak continuing. one of the key questions people come back to is it possible if romney wins and replace him prior to that in some fashion. what we can expect. we'll sit here tomorrow and know who the president is. you talk about uncertainty. that would be a blow if we sit here tomorrow and don't know. we're going to be dealing with so many other things that are out there that we'll continue to hear about and we won't know the answers to. europe being one of the keys. >> i read today that there is a finale hopefully to an election that allows you to be able to think, okay, i can't own those coal stocks anymore. okay, i do think mortgage rates will be x. something does happen that's good. >> from an investor standpoint you can do the mental calculus. you can actually do that mental calculation and se

how will the market respond to an obama win or a romney win?ess lock a trade and he joins us. let's start with a romney win what does the market do if romney whips? >> romney obviously is good for business, we know that, good probably for stocks. i think we are going to see a rally either way. see if we get a conclusion, that's the if. >> right. >> this is an important election obviously for just about everyone. >> a myriad of reasons, too. >> for anything. the more you develop into it the more confusing it does get. i think we will see a rally you at least for a week or so, probably based on any finality we get today. >> if it's a contested election, you think that's the bigger issue for this market overall? >> based on historics, the last time we had this a few years ago, a 10% correction in the s & p and dow no one wants that, no one looking for that as well in this situation. >> unless those aggressively short the market? >> and they are probably getting burned a little bit today. everyone keeps talking about sell nothing any rally, selling

obama or romney. voters are getting to make their choice and deciding the fate of the country and state and area as you head out on this election day. >> the presidential and vice presidential candidates were casting their ballots this morning, except for president obama. he voted early a couple of weeks ago on october 25th. nbc bay area leann grey has latest. >> reporter: long lines at polling stations in battle ground states in ohio and virginia and north carolina and florida and colorado and nevada. also in hurricane-damaged areas without power, balloted are cast in tents. after a year of campaigning, canndidates voted today. romney voted in massachusetts. vice president joe biden waited at his polling station in delaware. president obama, now back in chicago, held his final campaign rally in iowa on monday night. he won't be voting today. he joined the more than 30 million people nationwide who voted early in 34 states and the district of columbia. votes that were not allowed to be counted until t

obama. the south is with romney, or is against obama. you can see this division as it works its way down from southwest pennsylvania, including part of ohio, down through west virginia. you see it in the agitation that romney and his forces are working in their ads and speeches. donald trump, who says is president is an illegal immigrant, now doing robocalls for romney. john sununu keeps calling the president lazy and un-american. and topping it off, we heard romney out here in ohio today saying the president is bent on, get this, revenge. let's begin tonight with my interview with vice president biden. i started with that high octane issue of auto production right here in ohio. >> thank you, mr. vice president, for this time. here we are in ohio. what do you make of this republican ad that's been out there running for romney saying that chrysler is going to take jeep out of this state and send it to china? >> here are the people right in this state, toledo and other places, just back up on their feet, jeep is hiring people and they put o

or can we expect mitt romney or obama to pull off a sizable win? who knows. chief washington correspondent john harwin knows. >> everything we know suggests it's going to be chose. let me give you context for prediction of a romney victory. take the latest nbc/"wall street journal" poll. obama 48%, romney photography%, can't get any closer than that, well wind the margin of error. then go to the battleground states. we've got three late battle ground state polls. first of all in the state of virginia which as you mentioned, polls close early, 13 electoral votes, 48/47, president obama on top. state of florida, two-point lead for president obama. the state of ohio, most people have seen as the hinge point of this election, president obama's up 51/45. let's look at where the battleground states stand. if you average polls taken on the real clear politics website, of the nine battle ground states romney is only leading in the average of those polls in the two of them, north carolina and florida. the other states, president obama's got a lead. i'm talking about io
