ohio. 18 electoral votes up for grabs. without it neither campaign easier ify path to victory. you've got ohio in your corner. mike tobin is there, live in columbus for usng. how is it looking there, mike? >> reporter: martha, 800,000 ohioians cast a ballot in large part due to the badger of both campaigns. republicans alone contacted 6 million ohioians directly, two million face-to-face. with data available they're able to do it with information and concerns specific to their household. with polls split in the single digits at their widest the ground game has never been as important and aggressive and detailed in the key battleground states of ohio. >> will you support mitt romney and paul ryan this coming fall? >> reporter: jeff johnson is part of a time that knocked 300,000 doors just this week, with the possibility of efforts like his could decide the presidency. there is a lot of weight on your shoulders. >> a lot of weight. i put in 200 yard signs myself. >> reporter: the machine energized and defeated anti-union law championed by the republican governor. >> it is a huge ad voong. one of the things that isn't focused on by the national media becau

republicans are setting themselves up for a big victory and i think that is what is going to happen in ohio. >> thank you so much for being with us. appreciate your time. >> thanks, craig. >>> could young voters make all the difference this year? the latest pew poll shows that. among registered voters 18 to 29 years old, the percent claiming they will definitely vote, down nine percentage points from 2008. in florida, early in-person voting started a few hours ago. how likely are young voters to show up early or at all? i'll be live in gainesville, florida, tomorrow. not for the post gator/dog party. it's a big college town there. good afternoon to both of you. thanks for being with me. young people notorious for putting things off till the last minute. are you seeing any indication that we might be surprised by the early voter turnout among your peers? >> i think we'll see a large early vote on campus. we've seen huge enthusiasm this morning, me as well as 30 other youths were at the supervisor election office at an 8:00 a.m. voting. it is saturday and also florida/georgia saturday, that speaks volumes to the kind of enthusiasm

victories. in pennsylvania, and ohio, the court of appeals reinstated early voting. voter id laws were taken off the table in wisconsin setting up an election day that is less restrictive and bringing us actually cast their ballots. if the election is as close as it looks like it will be, the same conservative agitators who led the effort to suppress the vote will be at the courthouse the morning after the election in the post vote battle. joining us is bertha lewis, chief organizer of a.c.o.r.n. my colleague who's done the best coverage and jane mayer. it's great to have you all here. >> great to be with you. >> this is a complicated story. there are a lot of moving parts and bits of information and different things happening. at another level, it's a very simple story. it's one group of people trying to get another group of people not to vote. before we dive into the magazine and before we talk about what it looks like to be the former head of a.c.o.r.n. watching this unfold, could they go and get away with going after democrats? i want to start with you about where we are right now. i think it's important we don't lose sight of the fact that in some ways, this story is a hopeful st

victory this time. both president obama and romney were on the stump yesterday in ohio where they bemoaned the president's lack of leadership. >> time and time again the president told usd take on these things and hasn't. he turns around and tries to blame others. congress won't get together. congress won't get together unless there is a strong lead they're puts them together. >> at the tail end of his meeting with the reverend billy graham, the reverend said to mitt romney i will do anything i can to help you, and that's on the record, though it was not on camera. romney and ryan reunite tomorrow in ohio. president is at the white house. mr. ryan in preparation for tonight's debate had nine debate rehearsals and they think he is ready to go against biden this evening. bret? >> bret: carl cameron in spin room. see you there in a few minutes. thank you, carl. how will tonight's debate impact the race? let me know on twitter. follow me. @bretbaier. new issues for two of the president green energy pet projects. i.r.s. is proposing a bankruptcy settlement for solyndra saying it's a dodge to avoid taxes. house committee wants to know what the energy department knew about pr

in some of the states, like north carolina and florida and ohio, there are enough latino and asian voters to exceed the margin of victory. usingever got to the alien part of that construction, but it's general consensus. we have total table consensus on that. brook gladstone. >> you should know about a 2006 study done about democrats and republicans and how they reason. when faced with the hypocrisy or contradictory statements of their own candidates and then given a reason to sort of think their way out of it problem, what they -- no parts of their reasoning part of their brain lit up in any unusual way. the other parts lit up incredib incredibly. once they were done, talking themselves into the idea that their candidate was okay, they got a super shot of dopamine. so you should know that -- we are wired to lie to ourselves and as the election proceeds, keep that in mind. >> these are mris when you go in the tunnel and they scan your brain with the different colors in different parts. >> they find out you don't reason when you're figuring out what to think about your candidate. once up finish successfully lying to yourself, t

victory since 1964. this year it will come down to the undecided voter. this is one undecided voter in ohio. he joins usf the biggest problem. there is things that need to change and i -- i have the ear of a lot of people that call me with their problems and so forth. they're all pretty much in the same boat. the economy is bad, housing bad. there needs to be some change and that change hasn't happened in the last four years. >> brian: right. so we had a very similar question that came up last night. did you vote for president obama the first time around? >> yes, i did. >> brian: all right. so this guy stood up and said, i voted for you four years ago, mr. president. what is going to be different the next four years? why should we give you another four? here is what he said, the president. >> we've gone through a tough four years. there is no doubt about it. but four years ago i told the american people and i told you i would cut taxes for middle class families. and i did. i told you i'd cut taxes for small businesses and i have. >> i think you know better. i think you know that these last four years ha

victory in the presidential election could come down to a few key swing states, with us now the governors of two of those swing states, ohiobett joins from us harrisburg, p.a., and we have a governor in studio as our guest host so it's like governors own parade. let me start with you my home state, governor kasich, and just to get the very latest polling or at least your feel for what happens in ohio, and i will tell you, governor, that hamilton county, where i'm from, used to be reliably red. i'm hearing anecdotal evidence it's gotten much more purple recently. cleveland is a write-off for a lot of republicans in northeastern ohio but it used to be cincinnati was reliably republican. is that different now? >> i didn't know you were a political analyst. i'm not sure i agree with your analysis here. >> anecdotally what people talk about. i didn't analyze anything. don't get combative. i'm trying to help you. what's that? >> the situation is after that first debate things have changed in ohio and the reason they changed is real simple. people knew romney was smart. they knew he knew how to create jobs. they didn't know if he
