he was making argumenting on behalf of paul ryan, pushing for scott walker, doing these things that arehe kinds of things republicans need to do to draw the contrast with the president in the white house. lou: if i understand correctly, the status quo election will be a complete victory for both parties; is that correct? >> no, not at all. lou: just kidding. >> i know, i know. i think mitt romney was a good man, immediate i don't career -- mediocre candidate with a bad cam payment. you can't lay that on the rnc. lou: i've never seen an instance where the republican national committee was held responsible for a campaign, ever. great to see you both. the hair looks great there. >> thank you. lou: i understand it's the result -- >> oh, wow. >> i permly learned the -- personally learned the consequences of losing, lou. i lost the bet. lou: also the consequences that lead to doing good for a charity. thank you. >> thank you. lou: war producing heros and tragedies, too many to count, outpost in afghanistan, and detailed accurately by jake tapper in the new book "the outpost," ed henry gave me

very interested in wisconsin, which is not republican turf for many years, but because of scott walker and paul ryan, that could be a big surprise. i'm hugely interested in pennsylvania. that was not on the romney map initially. what's happened is after the debates, pennsylvania shot up. he's drawing gigantic crowds there, and that could be a big surprise. then one little one. it's only six votes, if i'm not mistaken, but he's doing very well in iowa. he's polling very well in iowa. i'm not a polling expert, lord knows, but i'll say this. romney could lose ohio. he could lose pennsylvania. and he could still win the election. >> how? >> the south. >> colorado and wisconsin. colorado and wisconsin. >> you don't think wisconsin is a given, though, because of paul ryan? of course, it's not a given in massachusetts either, is it? >> i'll tell you this, i don't think anything is a given. you know why i say that? i think the voter i.d. turnouts that are determining these polls are highly flawed this year. you had 2008 which was an outlier. if you decide democrats plus seven or democrats plus five based on

if that is shaky i am not convinced he will win.3 that is the state of paul ryan, a scott walker.up really late. cheryl:. dennis: then romney could stage a comeback then to go to ohio closing at 7:30 p.m.. i am sorry if obama wins ohio it is over? >> with that initial balance is the absentee ballot but if you start to get in the boat to from cincinnati, the coal district it could be after midnight or maybe days or weeks. dennis: early absentee votes go for obama's but are there high votes voting early republican? >> more than in the past i do think the majority goes for obama's. elderly people who would vote for him initially. dennis: is there a gap from what you tell the pollster than vote differently? >> absolutely. that is why look at the "new york times" who has 92% chance obama will win. at all think it is 90% if you look at the wild card calling people with cellphones, i think it will be a very, very close race. dennis: obama's? >> i have him at 281 greg valliere. good job. cheryl: we are all over the swing states the sunshine state is of must win. melissa francis is in tamp

." >> greta: wisconsin is in play and governor scott walker insisting the romney ryan ticket will benefitgovernor's groundwork during his recall election. >> you take all of the work that was done early this year when we made four and a half million voter context in a state of 5.7 million. tens of thousands of volunteers help us in my election earlier this year and that excitement continued on. >> greta: does governor walk veronica moser a point? joining us our political panel in new york, rick klein and here in washington the hills managing editor bob cusack and john mccormick. rick, first to you, governor walker have a point, in 2008, president obama won by 14 big points. >> that's right. if you look back at wisconsin in 2000, 2004 two of the tightest races you can imagine. both of those cases you had a very, very narrow democratic victory. 2008 i think was an anomaly and then you have governor sidewalker's successful effort to beat the recall this year and you have some evidence of wisconsin voters listening to a republican message and most importantly this year outperforming the polls

on tuesday to cast a vote from deep within the balls of this hardly misguided state for romney-ryan and scottrown. cannot pull that lever soon or hard enough. we will go to a blue state. california on of the independent line. sam, go ahead. caller: yes, this is a referendum on the spiritual life of this country. this country claims to be christian, mormons do not believe that jesus was born from god, but that mary was impregnated by a man. mormons believe that the christian bible is a bible for fools. and i want to remind the children of god that we know how this country is. host: take us through the religion to the election. guest: i will do that if you allow me to complete my comments. host: go ahead. caller: this country is based on so-called christianity. i will tell you this, if they choose mitt romney, who believed that jesus was not borne by the holy spirit -- host: we are going to save the religious lesson for another day. on the republican line, chris, your review on at the election in the state of new york. caller: i feel very lonely as a republican in new york. i would like to make

. >> reporter: abc's ryan owens spoke to smu math professor scott norris. >> professor, with so many people playing this time around, does that hurt my odds? >> your odds are the same no matter how many people play. >> reporter: how did the jackpot get so big? nobody has won it all since october 6th. that's 16-straight drawings. that has lottery officials saying there's about a 16% chance someone will hit it big tonight. >> winner. >> reporter: does anyone have an advantage? well, indiana has had 38 powerball winners. missouri, following with 26. the most tickets are sold in florida, which has seen four winners in just the past three years. advisers say winners should take a lump sum payment. and for a singer winner at this point, that would mean walking away with a cool $327 million before taxes. >>> the looming fiscal cliff is one reason you may want to take that lump sum. if no deal is reached, and taxes go up, most financial advisers say that could cost the winner millions. >>> and with that fiscal cliff ahead, president obama is mounting a full-court press, making his case for h

ryan. i'm talking about a guy named scott walker. >> governor of the great state of wisconsin, caught walker>>neil: from madison, wisconsin, this is it, "do or die", the final hours before voters in this state died whether to make their governor the third to go down to recall defeat. >> governor walker reminding me he is fit. he is ready. he will survive. >> if you win, governor, what do you think it means? >> it is a victory for courage, not only in wisconsin but across the country. for years i have heard people tell me, voters, people complaining, democrat or republican, complaining about politicians at the state and local and national legal, they don't have guts to take on the issues. the politicians have to take on the issues. politicians fail to do that. the victory tomorrow is a victory for everyone across the country in a local and state government and those like paul ryan in washington trying to do equally great things. it would be a victory to say voters mean it when they want you to take on the top issues. >> the people. united. will never be defeated. >>neil: so coy it you can hea

scott walker, and now, it's become a battleground. battleground wisconsin. here's "nightline" co-anchor bill weir for your voice, your vote. >> paul ryan heads back to his homee. >> reporter: ramble through the midwest these days and the old real estate agent's mantra of location, location, location takes on a whole new meaning. for example. these voters -- they are worth their weight in electoral college gold because they live in swing state wisconsin. meanwhile, way over here in illinois, this place is a deep blue foregone conclusion. no matter what these leaf raking romney fans do. >> most of the state of illinois is going to be red but chicago's going to be blue. just going to go blue. i understand the electoral college. it's a little different situation now. >> reporter: yeah, yeah. >> you have a video camera on a stick. >> thanks a lot. lemonade. cinnamon -- >> reporter: meanwhile, back over the border, i meet the mom of a girl scout who happens to be exactly the kind of person who may just decide this whole thing. you're undecided? >> yes, i am. >> reporter: really? you're like seeing a snow leopard in the wild. this is very exciting. >> obama promise

what a huge disappointment this is to republicans, too, when you have paul ryan on the card, a popular republican governor in scott walker, trolling for votes in the state of wisconsin. whoa, that's not the kind of thing we're looking for around here tonight. if you can switch it back, do it, just take us back to the touch-screen here. >> you don't hate twitter, do you? >> i'm not a tweet hater. i tell you what, shepherd, i have been to ohio twice in the past eight days and i do believe one of the stories that will be written about this re-election is how when barack obama won ohio in 2008, he did not leave the state. the field offices were still there. he still had paid staffers on the ground. he still worked to try and figure out how to the votes you get in 2008, and where you go in that state to find others. that ground game. that ground operation that he learned on the south side of chicago and illinois, some 20 years ago, might in the end be the story that you talk about in places like ohio when it's all over. >> thanks very much. we might also talk about how the economy has improved. unemployment has been do

he's connected to scott walker as his campaign co-chair. he's connected to paul ryano paul ryan called mike grievey, his political godfather and reince priebus, when he was fighting to be the rnc chair saying this is my guy. >> scot, you want the simplest explanation for everything. when you look at this map, if you were to put this king maker, grievey at the center of a map and play that map out, the money badger map, it is pretty extraordinary in terms of the connections. they are not just sort of casual connections, i saw a picture with them or they were at a dinner party together. what we're seeing is the bradley foundation and michael grieve yrk as a real sort of force behind this. is that correct? >> without a doubt. now that they've moved into again funding these organizations designed to suppress the vote, we like to think that our investigation delivered a roundhouse to the white sheets of voter suppression and knocked off that cowardly veil of anonymity. people need to know this is going on. what i think is great is that because people have been mobilized ab

on tuesday to cast a vote from deep within the balls of this hardly misguided state for romney-ryan and scott brown. cannot pull that lever soon or hard enough. we will go to a blue state. california on of the independent line. sam, go ahead. caller: yes, this is a referendum on the spiritual life of this country. this country claims to be christian, mormons do not believe that jesus was born from god, but that mary was impregnated by a man. mormons believe that the christian bible is a bible for fools. and i want to remind the children of god that we know how this country is. host: take us through the religion to the election. guest: i will do that if you allow me to complete my comments. host: go ahead. caller: this country is based on so-called christianity. i will tell you this, if they choose mitt romney, who believed that jesus was not borne by the holy spirit -- host: we are going to save the religious lesson for another day. on the republican line, chris, your review on at the election in the state of new york. caller: i feel very lonely as a republican in new york. i would like to ma

i think the excitement of paul ryan, in addition to the fact that the national party helped scott walkerere for romney since june 5th where he had better numbers than he did in the original election. the republican party in wisconsin is fired up and i think romney will win it? >> for those very same reasons i think the republicans have a better organization, stronger organization in wisconsin than i think they have ever had because of the whole scott walker thing. i think that will serve them well. but we should point out in all of these races, president obama is ahead and he's ahead a little bit. >> in all the polls in wisconsin. >> yeah. so this is kind of a feeling thing that people have. if you look at the polls, the president is ahead. >> that's right. i think the same thing we talk about new hampshire earlier. the same thing applies. there's a clear obama lead. will there be an extra push they haven't picked up? and these intangibles could come into play on election day, but i find the numbers a safer bet right now. >> one thing about wisconsin too, a couple other things, one is co

generation of articulate, philosopheically fluent conservative it's paul ryan, marco rubio, ted cruz coming into the senate and the governor, scottross the board, mitch daniels, jeb bush, who will be there in 2016. i predict that the field of candidates in 2016 will be as strong as the field of republican candidates in 1980, which was astonishingly strong -- reagan, bush syren, bob dole. it was a whole generation of admirable and i think the rank will be improved and the message will be much stronger. so the idea is not to become a second liberal party. it is to be conservative and do it better. i think the generation is at hand. this is not a time for retreat or despair. >> i think you are right. there is woo too much hang wringing in some newscast party, to must have to the left. i can't let you go without asking you about the tragic news of the day, the resignation of general petraeus and the revelation that he has been having an affair with his biog fear. what is your sense of the implications of that and the unfolding narrative in the investigation that somehow led to the discovery of the affair? >> well, clearly, we are goi

ryan the congressman winning an 8th term in wisconsin. republicans fell short in their effort. they lost 4 key races including one in massachusetts. democratic challenger elizabeth warren repeating firs republican scott brown and then in fir virginia tim cane and he may defeat the open seat goiwithout going after jim as wells. republican linda mcmahon lost to democrat chris murphy. there were some big wins for republicans. in arizona he defeated democrat for the open seat of john kyle. me meanwhile cuban americans had become the first latino to pin a den gnat seat. michelle match lan won her 4th term in congress. >>> oo with the am the question is what happens next? >> for the mast two years we have a democratic controlled senate. they have been virtually deadlocked. in does that leave us? where the president reach across party lines during the second term? that is what charles krauthammer is looking at today. >> we are left in the country exactly where we started but a little bit worse off. the republicans are in control of the house a little bit stronger. they are not going to budge. there's no way in which holding out on obama they are going to cave in. obama doesn't have a way to go. he governed

mansion in michigan massachusetts new hampshire and paul ryan his running mate wisconsin they've lost that and as we did talk about in the last hour scott walker who launched a successful recall election there in wisconsin and yet the state this time around went to obama so certainly some interesting. trends that we're seeing there but as we do wait on more results to come in i want to talk more about voting we've seen over the course of the last few years numerous voting laws changed across the united states in fact more than thirty states have enacted some version of voter id law or changes to the way people cast their ballots republicans claim it's an attempt to stop. fraud democrats argue it's voter suppression so who's right joining us now to talk more about this is brad friedman read blog dot com one of the great investigative reporters. in america who has been doing this this election protection beat now for years and there's nobody in the country who knows this stuff better than bradford. hey tom and christine great to talk to you both and to answer your question it's voter suppression area there you go and you find a coincidenc

we mentioned wisconsin is the home state of his running mate paul ryan -- >> let me jump in, jim, because over your shoulder governor scott walker introducing mitt romney gave the roaring crowd what they wanted, and that was mitt romney who has just come out the greet some of the supporters behind him, and he is going to take to the lectern at any moment, and remind the viewers that at the very front of the auditorium there is a sign that says "jobs" and you can bet your bottom dollar that my colleague christine romans just mentioned he will be talk tact jobs talking about the jobs report when he has a chance to address the crowd. let's listen in. >> you guys are amazing. thank you so much. what a welcome. thank you. that is a very generous welcome. thank you. [ crowd chanting "four more days" ] >> thank you so much. you got that one right. you have that absolutely right. four more days. this is a -- wow, a great experience to be here with you today. this is so exciting. what a great state. what a great welcome and by the way, this state is going to help me to become the next president of the united states. i want to than

ryan. >> the story by scott cohn was interesting.his is all oil and gas and the governor has encouraged drilling and the billions of dollars that have gone into oil and gas is why the employment rate is so low. i can tell you to try to get a hotel room in ohio is no easy task because of the oil people. >> as we continue to look at janesville. ron mott is there this morning. >> reporter: good morning. we're not too terribly far from chicago and that vote about chicago vote early and vote often applies today to paul ryan. he's voting twice. he's voting early. just before 9:00 here local time. he's on the ballot twice obviously as a vice presidential candidate and also running for an eighth term as congress person representing this district here in southern wisconsin. now, a lot of folks are credited paul ryan with turning this state purple in this election cycle. you wouldn't know this were a battleground if you look the at the six past elections. the last republican to do so was president reagan in 1984. he just about ran everything i

some of the built-in advantages republicans have in the state today, whether paul ryan being on the ticket. whether scott walker having won his recall election on june 5th and expanded his margin from 2010. reince priebus being chairman of the republican national committee. republicans are pretty fired up in wisconsin these days. bill: you mentioned 2004, here are the results, 50-49 kerry over bush. it was less than that. it was .35% of the total vote in the state. >> right. bill: so your point is well-taken. go back to 2008. i want to pop down to ohio because later tonight in the southwestern corner of the state, hamilton county, city of cincinnati, westchester, ohio, is the town. do you know who is from there? >> i don't know, somebody really cool. bill: house speaker john boehner is from westchester, ohio. they will have rudy giuliani and condoleezza rice and the list goes on and on later tonight. the reason they're doing that, steve, you see the border counties around cincinnati they vote heavily republican. hamilton county in cincinnati went for obama for the first time since 1964. when you talk abo

a republican response and we have representative scott garrett, a republican from new jersey, the vice chairman of the house budget committee. mr. ryan is the chairman of that committee. congratulations, by the way, on your re-election. glad to have you here. >> thank you very much. >> were you encouraged at all by what the president said? >> i'm encouraged that he's saying he wants to reach across the aisle and try to come to agreement. just before i came on, i got the little "rise above" logo. >> we'll be happy to see you wear it. i'll help you put it on. >> that's good because we didn't see that quite candidly during the last year or so from the administration. the republicans came out with specific plans on how to deal with this and we never got that. if he's coming to the table now, that is great. that's when the american public is looking for. all the talking points out there say that's what we need do. >> we've been trying to parse language, the speaker's language, the president's language, the distinction between rates and revenues. >> okay. >> tell -- give me a guide post here. what are these guys saying? >> when you talk ab

scott walker. how are you? >> piers, good to be with you. i'm out with eat great crowd behind me, ready for paul ryan. >> i see. i'm hearing lots of different polls tonight. all the republicans telling me mitt romney has it in the bag. all the obama people telling me, no, the president is going to walk it. what is the reality? you're in the area of america that could be utterly crucial. how are you seeing wisconsin, ohio, iowa, that kind of collection tomorrow night, how important will these be and which one could be the turning point? >> all across the midwest, it's incredibly point. i was just in ohio the other day with mitt romney. i've been in iowa about a week ago with the governor there. there's huge excitement. but here in wisconsin, we had a recall six months ago today. we won by a bigger margin than we did two years earlier. you see the momentum. you saw it in august when paul ryan was added to the ticket and you really saw it in the first debate in denver when people across the country came out to support mitt romney. it's going to be that close, but we're going to win here in wisconsin and

scott brown. host: "christian science monitor" headline -- "paul ryan returns to house -- is he ready for a bigger role in the gop?" guest: there is speculation that he is interested in staying on. he appears to be one of the few willing to take the difficult decisions, what ever the political fallout is. even the budget document, there is a bottom line, and everyone can see what the projected deficits are if these choices are made, where the cuts are. it is something paul ryan has been willing to do and that puts him in the heart of every important decision that the house will have to make this session. i think he has definitely kept himself in the heart of it. leadership appears to be willing to give him a waiver. i do not think he's going anywhere. host: dog to sit, your publication has this had lied -- bob to set, your publication has this -- bob cusack? guest: a lot of conservatives were not criticizing mitt romney because it was close to the election, but i think paul ryan has a bright future. if he wants it, he will get that waiver from the budget committee. he also has his eyes on the ways
