this is not the 1980s, not ronald regan versus walter mon dale. let's take a closer look.look more closely, other fascinating trends develop. economy, look at this. a very slight advantage. a statistical tie. this has to be priority number one at this convention when it comes to the issues. he wants to personalize himself but he needs to do a good job convincing americans he would do a better job when it comes to the economy. men, 20 point advantage for governor romney. the president has a slight advantage on women. you see the divide. president, advantage on women. switch to other issues and come to the state of virginia. let me clean this up a little bit for us. if you look here, the deficit. this was a huge issue in the 2010 election. 10 point advantage for governor romney and the republicans on the deficit. will it be as big an issue for a turnout. huge advantage for governor romney in men. tie among women. the gender divide among women voters, that helps the president. a key issue in this campaign, who would better handle health care? governor romney says he would rep

[ cheers and applause ] >> it's the story of my mom irish and italian working class, the first in her family ever to go to college she became a pioneering computer programmer in the 1950's. it's the story of my father, imprisoned and tortured in cuba, beaten nearly to death. he fled to texas in 1957, not speaking english with $100 sewn into his underwear. he washed dishes to pay his way through college and to start a small business in the oil and gas industry. my father is here today. when he came to america,.
