nation, it has been 16 months since mitt romney declared his candidacy-- a month since he accepted the nomination and five days since he started running for president. (laughter) folks, he is surging! new polls have him tied with or leading the president and the "new york times" 538 blog now gives him a 28.6% chance of winning! he is on a rocket ride to plausible! (laughter) and, of course, in the face of this surge, obama has become desperate. yesterday at a california fund fund-raiser he warned the audience what it's gonna take to win saying "we're only going to do it if everybody is almost obsessive for the next 29 days." (laughter) that's right, obama supporters, right now you're only logged on to his web site, facebook page, twitter feed, youtube channel, mobile app, pinterest board, tumblr, flickr, spotify, storify and ins gram. he needs you to commence! folks, i'm worried obama's followers are obsessive enough to pull this thing off. actually, i think they're obsessive-compulsive. how else could he have raised $181 million in donations last month-- 98% of which were under $250!

an op-ed in today's op-ed journal, romney declared the president is weakening the america's position in the world writing, "by failing to maintain the element of our influence and by stepping away from the allies, president obama has heightened the prospect of conflict and instability. he does not understand in american policy that lax resolve can provoke aggressio aggression. and carriage disorder." after a weekend of debate prep in boston, romney left for denver an wednesday's big event. while the campaign played the game of lowering expectations for the governor. >> obama is a gifted speaker. he has been on the national stage for many years. experienceed debater. he has done the debates before. this is mitt's first time on this stage. >> romney campaign was left to slap itself in the forehead when governor chris christie apparently didn't get the expectations memo. >> wednesday night is the restart of the campaign, i think you will see the numbers start to move right back in the other direction. thursday morning, the entire narrative of the race will change. >> reporter: in truth,

and here's what's coming up tonight on the big picture romney was declared the unofficial winner of last night's debate but he kept telling one lie after another does misleading america online for ninety minutes really make you a winner and where was the moderate mitt just a few weeks ago last tonight's politics panel and tonight we debut our new your take my take a live segment where you can call in live to ask a question or make a comment on the air stay tuned to find out how you can be on the big picture. you need to know this what's the point of presidential debates of one candidate can live for a half hour and then be declared the winner that's a question we should all ask ourselves one day after the first presidential debate in denver colorado consensus among pundits is that mitt romney won the debate and strictly in terms of style he did when pressed in the fight all night against a lethargic project president obama is the center for american progress pointed out this morning romney told twenty seven lies or half truths in a matter of just the thirty eight minutes he spoke on stag

romney repeatedly insisted he was not advocating a big tax cut. in fact, he declared unequivocally that he would not cut taxes at all if they added to the deficit at all. now, as "the washington post" reporter checks out, for two years romney has been campaigning on a tax cut that would cost around $5 trillion over ten years. romney said he would eliminate deductions and cut spending to pay for it. he never offers details. he did say he would cut funding for public broadcasting which was 0.01% of federal spending in 2012. medicaid was 0.13%. romney also spoke in favor of regulations including much of the dodd/frank bill and he repeatedly held up as a model his health care plan in massachusetts which has added center the individual mandate and on which obama care is based. romney's transformation did not happen overnight. the candidate has been reworking his stump speech. in a very smart analysis, npr pointed out romney has a five point stump speech. the first four points are actually identical to obama's stump speech. two, domestic energy, three, retraining programs,

romney were wrong. the president was wrong because he seemed to imply that he had declared the attack in benghazi an actt day. he was clearly stunned romney saying well you went off to a fundraiser in las vegas. no i was in the rose garden and i declared it an act of terror. all he said was no acts of terror will shake the resolve of this great nation and didn't refer specifically to that at all. romney was wrong in that he tried to say look you have given up the game here because you declared it an act of terror on september 12th but susan rice went out and said it wasn't an act of terror. i am not sure either of those are true. >> fox and friends will be joined by robert gibbs at 7:00 a.m. eastern this morning with more reaction for you. now to other highlights. in the debate they were both very aggressive and tins hitting each other hard on the issues. listen. >> think about what the governor just said. he said when i took office the price of gasoline auz 1.80, 1.86. why is that? because the economy was on the verge of collapse. we were about to go through the worst recession since the great depressi

in ohio mitt romney is declaring he's now the candidate of not just change but -- >> big changes, big changes, big changes. >> reporter: and president obama who won the white house four years ago with the slogan of hope and change is now in romney's view just more of the same. >> the path we're on does not have new answers. the president has the same old answers as in the past. >> reporter: on a bus tour across this critical swing state, romney appears to have settled on a final line of attack. that after months of campaigning, the president has yet to present new ideas to j p jumpstart the economy. >> the obama campaign doesn't have a plan. the obama campaign is slipping because he's talking about smaller and smaller things despite the fact that america has such huge challenges. and that's why on november 6th i'm counting on ohio to vote for big change. >> reporter: among those smaller things the romney campaign points to comments mr. obama made in the latest issue of "rolling stone" magazine. you know, kids have good instincts, the president said. they look at the other guy and say,

. >> one moment we got a piece of that is when mitt romney turned behind him and pointed to the constitution and declarationndence and movingly spoke of how the were the governing principles. that was a high moment and great moment for romney to show a level of connection to the constitution and declaration and founding principles and remind us that we are a great country, not because of we ourselves but the foundation on which we stand is solid rock . that is very powerful. >> because you believe. many of us believe that we are a great country and that we can fix what is going on now. we can make a difference and cut this debt in a big way. >> we can, but not just by cutting taxs and hoping that the economy grows and we can't do it simply by e spending more and hoping that stimulates the economy. the real way to get out of the debt crisis is to grow the economy and create real sense of of course excitement about people making investments. if taxes go up, investments slow downs and if we get to the place where regulation causes it too difficult to succeed in business we can't glow. if we open up the market

basically last week, whether you think barack obama won or lost or mitt romney won or lost that debate, the media have declaredt mitt romney destroyed barack obama at that debate. barack obama was basically oozed sitting there, mitt romney was the incredible thor and all of a sudden you have this narrative of this powerful romney, articulate romney, moderate romney, bipartisan romney who setting the agenda in this election and that has put the obama team on the defensive, very big on the defensive. so this media narrative has changed and the media narrative has very big power in helping people process what's going , see who's up, see who's down and understand who has the real momentum in the race and that can make a difference come election day. >>reporter: what about the vice presidential debate that's going to take place tonight, how significant is that going to be? >>reporter: well, it may -- >> it may be bigger this time, in part because joe biden has to sort of recover some ground that was perceived to have been lost by the president in the first debate. in essence, joe biden has to take his argument to p
