the question is, does this create extra spending or is this just robbing peter to pay pall. >> if it means we are not going to the movies, to the mall, we have to take into account not only what it is that adds to spending but we need to consider what sport substitutes for in the way of spending. >> probably just yea for winning. >> reporter: wouldn't stop you from going to the movies? >> no. >> i might feel guilty, yeah. it might impact my purchases. any other purchases. >> reporter: those business is tania washington here if the teams -- is better here if the teams keep winning who knows. >>> court over turned an injunction on samsung's smartphone. today the court said apple failed to prove that people bought the smartphone because of technology stolen from the iphone. it allows them to sell the product while the dispute continues. it is a second of two lawsuits apple filed. that decision helped lead to a drop on wall street today. the dow and nasdaq dropped. >>> he got his job back but there might be a new effort to get him out of office. she would support recalling embattled san

watched the debate in his hotel room in north carolina along with his debate partner senator rob portman. peteren is traveling with the romney campaign. what is the campaign saying today about paul ryan's performance? >> we are going to hear from the candidate himself in a matter of minutes as he is prepared to speak to voters here in virginia, in the city of richmond specifically. advisors have been making it clear among the things we will hear from him today is an attack on what we heard from the vice president, specifically about the situation in libya. they sent out an e-mail a short time ago referring to biden's benghazi blunder and continued the administration pattern of misleading the american people about events in libya. we expect to hear about that topic in a short time from now. about last night, the other thing we heard specifically from the folks in the romney campaign is a lot of what you've been discussing, the sort of body language, the reactions, the expressiveness of the vice president, that they referred to as disrespectful, condescending, even rude. one top advisor said in a

rob portman came by. as one aide told us, portman played a better president obama than the president himself. >> peter alexander traveling with the romney campaign. back over to chuck todd. same question to you. having seen that bizarre development of people in the crowd at an obama rally wondering what was going on last night. >> yeah, that was unbelievable. it's safe to say the swagger and over confidence is gone from this campaign. and i would call it anxiety from them today. this is the way the obama campaign tried to act today. number one, they put out the first ad using debate footage, calling mitt romney dishonest. david plouffe, senien strategis used the word dishonest for not being honest nearly a dozen times this afternoon, so they're trying to put the focus on mitt romney and saying hey, he gave a great performance, but didn't exactly, wasn't exactly honest. it was rally therapy out here though. he did have 30,000 people show up in madison. >> wrapping it up for us tonight. thanks. we have two big and still developing stories tonight having to do with how we all get around on the east coast on the we

peter flaherty. at the opposing podium, president obama is played by gop senator, rob portman, who spoke exclusively> you have to be a little mean sometimes and try to get under their skin. >> portman is the republican's go to guy. in 2000, he played al gore and joe lieberman. in 2004, john edwards. and in 2008, he was so in character as barack obama he really upset john mccain's wife. you have to tell me the story about cindy mccain running out of the room crying. >> she was very good about attending preps and being with john. at one point, literally walked out. i mean, we knew she was walking out on purpose because i was going after her husband. >> it was too much for her to take. >> she still doesn't like me to this day. >> romney's been getting that portman treatment for more than a month. >> after the you know hour and a half or so is over, i want to kick him out of the room. >> sources close to romney say this is his danger zone. his tendency to get defensive. which produces gaffes. remember this? >> it was true then. >> no, no -- >> it's true now. >> rick, i'll tell you what. 10,000 bucks? >>

rob partman's family owned hotel in lebanon, ohio. these two have gotten to know each other very well. >> peter alexander, thanks for weighing in.dicators in presidential politics, here's one you may not have thought of. food. the food to watch. and if you're lucky the taste is barbecue. kerry sanders explains. >> reporter: alex, it's neck and neck in the state. it's too close for either the obama or romney campaigns to claim a likely victory. it's a dispute perhaps reflective of another debate in the state. which tastes better? eastern carolina or lexington style barbecue. in the western part of north carolina there's the barbecue most of the nation is familiar with. here they call it lexington style. pork shoulder, smoked for ten hours over oak and hickory. then smothered in a tomato based sauce. but to the east here in the t tarheel state, the pig is halved and slowly roasted. >> my job to chop, chop, chop the meat. >> and the the barbecue sauce, vinegar, hot pepper, salt and brown sugar. >> it's tangy, you get a lot of taste of the pork, but the vinegar impacts it heavily. >> like the barbecue, when it comes to poll tishs --

peter fla herty. two podiums. mitt romney at one. you heard john kerry refer to rob portman in the other. just like more john mccain four years ago and i talked to senator portman in an exclusive interview about how he prepares to prepare romney. >> you have to figure out how they're likely to express themselves. you know, what the body language is like. try to imitate the person but you try to give a fair presentation to whoever you're working with as to what they're likely to do. >> i tried to role play with him. i prepared to be mitt romney and to see how he was barack obama. >> did he play along? >> no. didn't go there. >> would have like to have been the vice presidential nominee and gets to play the president in these preparations. >> now key to the campaign. >> what's the president need to do this in debate? >> do no harm. no gaffes, obviously. second, he has to seem obviously presidential, down to earth, substantive all at once. that's a high hurdle. and third, crucially, make sure he doesn't come across as thin skinned or ar ro gabt when he faces the inevitable attacks from romne

peter. any breaks for the debate prep team? >> reporter: it's a good question, actually, if they had any lunch it was a quick one. i just passed senator rob plays the role of barack obama, the sparring partner for mitt romney. he was literally in the hotel ten minutes ago walk into the room where are going to be for the next couple of hours honing down their arguments for this foreign policy debate scheduled for monday night. alex one of the items that senior adviser tells me, one of the challenges for mitt romney in this debate will be to try to simplify the message into simple sound bite that can be digestible by an american audience but more significantly that can fit into the small timeline presented by a debate format like this. the issue of libya will obviously be an element that's part of the conversation there, given among other things the release by house republicans of state department documents that had been provided to congress, including a cable by the ambassador chris stephens where he noted perhaps prophetically warning a month before the attack that the violence in that country was not random so much as it had been targete
