very important pieceu today by stephen hayes in the weekly standard where he talks about the original talking points that went to capitol hill. originally it was written in that it was al-qaeda-related. when those talking points get to hill, calculat al-qaeda related is taking out. why? who took it out? >> huckabee: that's an important question that nobody really raised, much less answered, but somewhere along the way talking points are crafted within an administration, shared with state, shared with the intelligence community, the white house. the white house has to give final authority, so this was not that susan rice went out there and just spoke off the cuff. she had to have been handed the question. who gave her those talking points? who gave hillary clinton her talking points? who gave jay carney his talking points? >> dana: who told her that he did it of his own volition. the director of national intelligence, who told him to take theo fall for it. three weeks later, the reason they have such a problem is three weeks later secretary clinton is taking responsibility for it but t

i want to read this quoted by stephen hayes from the conservative publication "weekly standard,".y was so determined to avoid talking like george w. bush he spent much of the night sound like barack obama. there seems to be some leeway given by the base for governor romney to go out and appear to be more moderate. you know as well as i do the republican party at least in congress is more conservative than it has ever been. how would that -- how would that gel in a romney administration? >> well, you know, what -- we are -- what i can tell you personally, conservatives are ecstatic, more excited, republicans are more excited about this race than i have seen in many, many general election. we are completely behind governor romney. i think that it is a misperception to suggest he's changed. what he went out there and did in this last debate is talked exactly right to the voter about what his policies are. he laid it out. and -- he was enormously presidenti presidential. he has a great knowledge of foreign policy and laid out what he will do. i think the people are responding. as for

[applause] following keith olbermann, what is better than not? i want to thank all of the people that took my cue and sent thrills up my leg during dinner through my obama phone. this is an obama phone. i am a down the phone guide in 2012. when brent bozell asked me to emcee tonight's dinner is a little bit uncomfortable because you can't trust brent bozell or the people he surrounds himself with. they would sell out their mothers for one cheap laugh and then move on merrily. but i thought about it for a moment and i almost decline, but i thought, i'll go ahead. there's a free dinner and free drinks in it. so i go ahead and take him up on the author. and that is after my work in talk radio, which is a very unstable business and i could be fired pretty much any moment as has been proven at least once already.

stephen hayes. [applause] ♪ . >> good evening, everyone. how are we doing?e easiest job here all night. i get to introduce the funnies. i want to say, as chris mentioned i'm now doing a lot of work for the fox news channel. i'm thrilled with my affiliation with fox. fair and balanced. [applause] couldn't think of a better show to be on regularly than bret baier's "special report", which i still think is the best news program on television. [applause] and, it's interesting because when i meet people i think, sometimes people think of me as a broadcast guy because they see me on fox but at heart i'm still a print journalist. i sort of grew up as a print journalist. i work for "the weekly standard." i consider that my sort of real job. i'm moonlighting at fox. i hope to be moonlighting at fox for many years. but i'm a print journalist at heart and what is interesting about tonight, what's interesting about the program braent put together we obviously feature so much in the way of broadcast journalism. taking shots at so many journal is. there are so many more m

want to go to stephen hayes right now with me. steven, good morning to you. >> good morning, bill.rk county in the northeast later tonight for a romney rally with paul ryan. what do you think of the analysis and how you see ohio at the moment? >> i will be there. i will be in stark county. i think it is dead on. i think, there's a reason everybody everywhere is talking about ohio and it is because as you suggest, the path is just so much easier for either candidate. i think for president obama, if he wins ohio, the obama team believes that that is almost what they need to assure victory. i'm not sure that's correct. i think there are ways mitt romney could win without ohio. but certainly ohio makes that path much, much easier. bill: you will get a good sense on the ground. we'll be there later in the weekend broadcasting early next week. watch the three biggest counties. may seem obvious to do that. between hamilton, franklin, cuyahoga counties you have cincinnati, columbus and cleveland. i think very early into the night on november 6th watch the returns especially from cuyahoga a

stephen hayes, columnist for "the weekly standard" and fox news contributor. good morning, steve. >> good earn moing, martha. martha: this is a remarkable move. >> it really is. not just that mitt romney is doing better with women. he is doing better among every single cohort. improved his standing on on issues relative to the president. this is one of the polls where if it indicates a broader trend and that is huge if, for governor romney's campaign this is certainly putting him in a position where he could finish this out strong and potentially win. martha: said you can't win without the women's vote. look at 2008 exit poll where clearly president oba had a commanding lead over john mccain, 56-43. in fact we looked into it. the last time a republican has won with this group of voters, it was george h.w. bush. and he just barely eked out a 1% lead over michael dukakis. this has been a difficult voting bloc with republicans. >> sure has been. i don't think the romney campaign has expectations of being even with the president among women voters on election day.

thank you, stephen hayes in washington. >> thanks, bill. martha: this story of interest as well. son of a democratic congressman in the important swing state of virginia allegedly caught on tape giving tips how to commit voter fraud. have you heard about this? you have got to see this video. eric shawn is all over it when we come right back.

stephen hayes, thanks for your time in washington. >> thanks, bill. bill: martha. martha: the final debate is in boca raton. it happens in florida on monday night. it will be focused on foreign policy. you can bet we'll hear questions on benghazi, libya and north africa and what the ramifications are for us at home. that debate format will be a similar debate. this time except being ad poet premiums they will be seated at a table with moderator in between them. we'll see how that dynamic changes things a little bit. they will each get a question. they have two minutes to respond. the moderator who is bob sieve fer in this instance will use the balance of time in the segment to discuss that topic. fox news is your election headquarters, we're so grateful you learned that over the course of these debates and support them in a huge way and continue do that monday night. bill: how about the audience we had tuesday night? martha: pretty amazing. bill: 11 million. martha: people are as we said so many times, bill, absolutely engaged in this election process. in the last

stephen hayes, was there in florida today. you score the debate a flat-out draw. why is that? >> i think, neither candidate actually did anything to disqualify himself. neither candidate did anything really to distinguish himself. so i thought you had the president being very aggressive. obviously mitt romney taking a much more laid-back approach. no difference. we come out of the debate basically where we started it i think. bill: i will start with each man. the first question about governor romney. you believe he could be perceived as weak last night based on his performance. why? >> that is the risk. obviously romney team came in we want mitt romney to be presidential. voters back in the living rooms watching their debate to see mitt romney as their president. to see somebody who is not a hothead, not a warmongerer. who is calm and able to steer the ship of state as it were. i think from their perspective he succeeded in doing that the risk is, did voters at home see him as weak, as afraid to challenge the president in a more forceful way, which i think was deserved sometim
