>> well, desperate four years ago, this weekend, president obamma was campaigning in indiana. today, governor romney is campaigning in pennsylvania. i don't think campaigning in states where we haven't won since 1988, 1984 and 1972 are exactly acts of desperation. it looks like the map is starting to expand drastically in our favor. it is nothing we are doing. it's governor romney's message. when you talk about florida. for them to spend more money there is a little bit like barack obama's government -- they want to throw money at a problem and hope it if i cans it. but at the end of the day, governor romney will carry florida by a significant margin. >> chris: let me ask you about the point he made. money is one thing, the candidate's time is the most precious commodity in the precious hours. and romney on monday is going to spend time in florida and virginia. shouldn't you have locked up both of those reliably republican states weeks ago? >> well, let's not forget, chris, reliably republican, barack obama won both in 2008. so if you look at the absentee ballot numbers in flo

in hearts location new hampshire president obamma beat out romney 23-9. i am ed payne reporting. >> candidates will reach out to americans as they cast their votes obama will do interviews throughout the day from chicago. >> and romney will make appearances in pittsburgh and, of course, cleveland ohio. >> abc2 news sur place for everything related to election coverage throughout the day and tonight. head there tonight for the results as they start coming in. you will find out more about the referendums affecting you in the state of maryland and learn more about each of your local candidates. >>> news time 5:47. a strange discovery during a drug bust. police found an alligator inside a home. three foot reptile was discovered in the home of a man named michael golden from jessup. police say that he has a history of drug charges and they didn't expect to find an alligator in his house. neighbors say that they knew he own the animal. >> when he first got it it was a baby probably about this big and we -- he told a couple people the kid in the neighborhood the

we do know that president obamma was meeting with secretary panetta and the joint chiefs chairman in a pre-scheduled meeting and they were told that the compound was under attack. according to the white house, the president said, do what you need to do to save the americans. >> sean: that's what he said. but where was he? when did he know? who said to stand down to the cia annex a mile away. these to me, seem basic. we are watching this in real time. doesn't it seem like the president ought to have known that? >> i don't have the answers you are looking for. >> sean: i am want grilling you. >> i think a lot of -- there is a lot we don't know about -- some of the things you asserted, the cia denies to be true. which is not to take away from jennifer griffin's great reporting. but the cia said there was no stand-down order. there is a lot we don't know. there have been more and more tick tocks provided, minute-by-minute accounts from the pentagon and the cia and the state department. and at some point, there needs to be a reckoning because they don't always add up? look. i think you ar

when ronald reagan, who many thought until obamma was the most ideological president. he had to compromise on everything we have talked about. >> greta: talk about compromise. today, right after speaker boehner gave his statement about how he wants to reach out and compromise, the ways & means committee, ranking member, democrat from michigan, puts out a press release and refers to the republicans must end their intransigence. so he insults them right away. how do we begin to have any sort of communication and compromise when they send out insults to each other in the media. >> that goes back to presidential leadership. if the president doesn't get his own people in line, how does he expect to be able to get the other side to -- to work with him. >> sean: >> greta: i appreciate you coming so i could yell at you, for my frusteration for the government. >> that's good -- >> greta: i feel much better now, thank you. [chuckles] >> thank you. >> greta: thank you, governor. tonight, is there good news for wisconsin republicans? despite electing a democrat to the senate and p

i think he ran a good campaign, but we had a brutal primary, which obamma was not challenged as a sitting president. so he got to sitted back and watch the republicans knock each other out. in that respect, i think romney missed the opportunity of having the kind of election season that this president was lucky enough to have by not being challenged. >> recrimination in washington is blood sport. it is only beginning. it is going to get interesting. brad blakeman, bob cusack, thank you. >> where do you go when the president retains the white house, gregg? you go to the white house. there are big crowds outside the white house tonight. when the announcement came that barack obama was re-elected for a second term. kelley wright is live there with the crowds. still a lot of folks? >> reporter: jamie, good morning. thousands of crowds out here. some of them vishave dispersed and others have moved beyond me, 100 yards away from me. you can see the shadows of people playing drums and still being very jubilant. i must tell you on my way over here, coming in to report to our d.c. bureau, as i pas
