>>> yes, i'm the project sponsor for 28 toledo. the dr requester and i have come to an agreement on modifications that we have agreed to. and at the meeting we're simply formally, i don't know what the process is, formally accepting those into the record. so, i just warranted to ask if there is anyone else this dr requester can send in his absence because i know his mother and his brother and somebody else had been intimately involved with the project and i'm just hoping to prevent the additional delay we would get pushing the date out to december. >> you're requesting a date later than november 15th? >>> correct. >> okay. any additional public comment? commissioner antonini. >> yes, thank you on toledo way, i will confirm i have had meetings with both project sponsor and d-r requestors and i think they are close to an understanding. but as far as a date that's acceptable, i think the first date that would be possible would be then the 29th, i think it is, because thanksgiving is the 22nd, i think. and i would just want to see if t

not just in toledo. in toledo, yes, ed, but also up in detroit. i heard it over in wisconsin. i think it's very important to realize, a lot of their lives came back and haunted them last night. remember that at the republican convention, paul ryan talked about or tried to blame president obama for the closing of the gm plant in janesville. last night, janesville voted for obama and biden over their own hometown candidate. >> isn't that something? >> and the surrounding county voted 60% for obama and biden. >> john nichols, great to have you with us tonight. thanks so much. >>> did the war on women cost the gop the election? president of the national organization for women, terry o'neill, weighs in on that next. >>> then, ballots and bigotry. find out what the republicans need to understand if they want to take back the white house some day. the new political reality and americans' demographics, next. >>> this is what winning feels like. last night, america put a stop to an extreme right-wing agenda. we stopped planned parenthood from being defunded. we stopped roe v. wade from

was when michigan gets a cold, toledo's got pneumonia. in ohio for a whole bunch of reasons. and the fascinating thing about this is, this is an intentional strategy by mitt romney. it is one of the most remarkable things i've ever seen in politics and i've covered a lot of politics. he went to ohio and he said, i read in bloomberg that they're going to shim your jobs -- he said it straight on. and move it all over. and then they immediately called out. and chrysler -- at fiat, chrysler said this would take a circus acrobat to read the article that way. that's when you shut down. no. then they go up with an ad saying it. then they get called out by the head of fiat. and then they get called out by gm. then they go up with a radio ad that is even more aggressive, and then paul ryan goes out on the trail and goes back to romney and romney's initial arguments about they're shipping stuff over and totally trashing the auto bailout without ever mentioning that paul ryan voted for the auto bailout. it is surreal and i have to tell you "the tole

indianapolis and toledo and getting toward lexington. this front is moving in our direction. expected here overnight tonight. behind the front, the air is much colder so highs will only be close to what we're looking at now in the low 50s after today. 49 in leesburg this morning. but manassas is down to 41. 60 in petersburg. warm air not that far away. 51 in la plata. let's check in with monika samtani at 5:00 a.m. with timesaver traffic. >>> overall it's a very quiet rush hour with this holiday. you've got metro on a saturday schedule as well. no hov restrictions to worry about so that helps. by the way, also the redline is single tracking it grosvenor and friendship heights. let's go over to another map. this time we're heading all the way to southern maryland, route 4, route 5, 301 everything looks good coming up from brandywine, accokeek and around andrews air force base as well and route 4 pennsylvania avenue. let's show you what it looks like near college park. if you're planning to head from

the toledo blade has covered this story day inened and day on the frahm page.en a huge deal on local tv. when i was talking to people the last day or so, it came up as the first subject of conversation. i'll tell you something else, chris, i just got the report fromle local board of elections, turnout is up 3% from 2008. . ja let's go to joy down in orlando, this state you're cover something so vast, so in many way typical of america, it has every possible ethnic group, northerners, southerners, former new yorkers, everything from all the islands. it's all there, conservatives from cuba, liberals from the dominican republican, they have people from puerto rico now. they have -- plus all the people that grew up in the south and that northern part, the panhandle. how do you pick a state like florida? i have always wondered how do you do it? >> it's a crazy state. sort of alabama in the north, new york in the state and the west in between. it's really a strange state with two different time zones. you know, floridians can vote until 7:00 p.m. but in the panhandle

paul and ryan along with john avlon in toledo, ohio.omney has outspent the president in pennsylvania since he became the nominee. i saw this. i was stunned when our producer looked at these numbers. of the 15 million total, just in this week alone. is this money well spent? >> i think it makes a lot of sense for this reason. now, it's true that ohio might be a tighter state, but the question is, r it's the marginal benefit. mitt romney spent a ton of time in ohio and if spending an additional few hours as we get closer to the election could make a big difference in pennsylvania given he has spent far less time in that state, that's what you've got to think about. real additional hours in ohio make that much of a difference there, where as in pennsylvania, it could be a difference in defeat. it's 20 electoral votes versus 20 in ohio. this could really scramble the map. >> i'm going to look at the map in a second, but first, paul, i want to go to you. mitt romney has put 2 million ads worth in pennsylvania over the past week and become's

northern ohio, especially cleveland and toledo, will go very heavily for president obama. cincinnati, where i am sitting right now, will go heavily for mitt romney. what we need to watch on election night is columbus, where franklin county is, because we've been seeing the romney campaign campaign very heavily in central ohio in and around columbus. we're going to see president obama go there on friday. that's the area that could make up the difference come election night. >> okay. james peterson, last thought here. there is a pattern now of real dishonesty on the part of the romney campaign ads. they're out there saying that romney's been accused of outlawing birth control, contraception. nobody's ever accused him of that. they've said that he's not supporting the right of women to have it covered in their health plans. why are they putting out these desperate ads like jeep's going to china and women are under attack for buying birth control pills? i mean, it's an absurdity. who would be so uninformed as to believe these ads? >> well, chris, that's a different question. t

toledo. mr. toledo is bill toledo and a man larger than life.talker who served in the island of hirojima and has a lot of knowledge to pass along . >> jerry coalman baseball hall of famer and still he said he is no hero . adam housely has the store store. >> he digs in deeper and keeps on swinging. >> from the in-field to the battle field. he's served his team and country and don't call him a hero . >> a lot of people say you are a hero . you know the heros are the ones who didn't get back. i have fleppeds who didn't get back. >> twice he walked away to fight along side those friend serving with distinction with world war ii and korea. and kohlmann refers to the only leaguer who saw combat duty in two wars. piloting a dive bomber and earning him 13 air medals and two flying crosses . >> i think your country is one of the dom factor necessary your life especially in the united states. if you haven't been out in the world and seen other thingings, you don't know what up are talk being. when you see that you realize that is a great counselry. >> an

they're going to keep making them in toledo, where i'm going to be campaigning.o i don't know what is the purpose of lying like that. it's just more of the same, and it hurts his credibility, and it shows a certain desperation setting in as we only have two more days in the campaign. >> mr. hoffa, we're showing pictures of president obama live in cincinnati at a rally. making the final pitch to the i know you've been on the ground in ohio. outcome? >> well, i was there all last i'm going back in the morning. i'll be back in by 9:00 in the morning. we're going to be campaigning there. i think it's upbeat right now. there's a lot of enthusiasm. i was with the president on thursday. he has tremendous bounce in his step. tremendous confidence. all kind of people are walking up. i was impressed by what i saw. people, black people, latinos. every type of american was coming to the rally. people were bringing the children, taking them out of school because it was such an event. it was very moving to see the type of people who attended the event. that's the deep seeded e

we're just in the toledo where the jeep plant s.unemployment was 13% in that city when president obama took office. now it's at 7% rate. manufacturing, the middle class, these are the sweet spots of a democratic pitch, and they have been able to say that mitt romney, a state where the bain ads, have had an effect would not be a good stewart that have reinvestment. president obama's core argument here is economic and it's also saying, look, the policies that mitt romney will put in play are the same policies that got us in trouble in the first place. the raw politics of this are fueling the ground game right now. >> let's talk about the numbers. the u.s. economy added 171,000 jobs in october as you both well know, surprisingly strong number. it may end up being the final political football, really the last thing you can give a speech on or cite a press release on. both candidates wasted no time spinning the numbers. listen. >> he said he was going to lower the unemployment rate down to 5.2% right now. today we learned that it's actually 7.9%, and that's 9 million jobs of what he promise

i have family in cincinnati and toledo. 1 in 7 jobs in ohio is related to the auto industry. and there were 10,000 people working at that jeep plant in toledo. that community was terrified. and they had a clear black and white choice on that one issue. who was for them, who wasn't for them? and then, finally, there was a weak field. let's be honest. the primary candidates were one of the weakest fields that the republicans had ever run. the big guns, the jeb bushes, they sat it out. so, you know, it was going to be hard, even with the bad economy, for obama to lose. >> i think you're right, paul it wasn't just jobs and the economy, i was climate change. it was reproductive rights. it was gay marriage. there were a lot of issues that have changed in the last ten years and the republicans just did not -- >> the democrat graphic shift, this is a realignment election. it happens once in a generation. in 1980, 91% of the people who voted for the president were white in the united states. last tuesday, it was 72%. that number is going to continue to change. and the republican south

, some of which i talked to in toledo and i think that says the a mar of desperation.ent drop 3.5 points since the auto rescue really took hold. it's not good enough, but it's going in the right direction. i think that worries the romney camp, but frankly, t a celebration for ohio. >> let me ask you to be a strategist for a minute and not a partisan. are we going to have a new president on tuesday night? will it be wednesday morning? sometime after that when some challenges are made in places like ohio? >> i think we'll have, we're not going to have a new president. we'll have the same president again. i think on election night, i think the president once ohio, there may be some hanky pankey at the polls close, but i think the president wins ohio comfortingly enough, because of medicare, the auto rescue. the president wins comfortly enough that you won't be up all night counting votes. >> david axelrod told me two or three points. >> pretty smart. still got his mustache. >> i also caught up with josh mendel. >> it's very close. i think a lot of it is going to come down

i'll be in toledo by 9:00 tomorrow morning. i think it's upbeat right now. is a lot of enthusiasm. i was with the president near columbus, ohio, on thursday. he has tremendous bounce in his step, tremendous confidence of people, all kinds of people were walking up. saw. there were old people, young people, black people, latinos. every time of person that's an american who is coming to that rally. people were bringing their children, taking them out of school because it was such an event. it was very, very moving to see the type of event that attended that event and i think that's the kind of deep-seeded enthusiasm that is going to carry the day in ohio. are the voters, are the residents when you visit them -- do they bring up the automobile fiasco that romney has gotten himself into? frin, this is ohio senator rob portman who was asked about the lies today and here's his response. >> the fact is, we now make jeeps in toledo, ohio, that we're proud to send to china, to asia. if they are going to start production facilities overseas, we're going to lose it her

. >> yes, let me bring in ali velshi on a bus in toledo, ohio. okay. i know you can call the game in september a aus gu august and september, but what about october, and is this enough ammo for governor romney in the next few stops? >> well, i am worried to opine on these things, because then everybody is nuts who you are opininging for. i am not opining for anybody. i have had the same view forever. we have to compare the rate to jobs gained and the hours work and the type of jobs they get. two, we look at the trend. i would love there to be 250,000 jobs a month created. that is not what you are going to get out of the economy that we came out of. so general ly speaking, this is advantage obama, because he has had job growth since he has come into office with the exception of a few months, but, you know, if i were working for the romney came pain, i would say, really? 7.9% unemployment, and job growth that is not anywhere close to what you are saying it is going to be over the next four years and why should we listen to you about that when you have no

the rain almost towards springfield, ohio, dayton, toledo, lexington, kentucky. this will be moving in our direction. it's probably going to take until tonight before it gets here. i don't think we'll see much before midnight here in town. a little earlier out west there. could be an isolated sprinkle out to our west during the afternoon. the bulk of the rain even at 5:00 just getting into pittsburgh. we'll see it march toward us. by noon -- midnight be headed toward us. mid night headed toward us. maybe a little bit of snow in the higher elevations mixing in before it passes. tomorrow morning some showers around, some heavier ones, too. the morning rush hour could certainly be impacted by this. but this stuff i think will get out of here pretty quickly so that by lunch time the sun is returning. clouds hanging out east. certainly a much cooler day tomorrow with high temperatures anywhere from the 40s and low 50s. temperatures just aren't going to move much with some pretty strong northerly winds behind the cold front. as we look at the forecast, today mild to wa
