Back everybody I'm Uma Pemmaraju and Alabama go out to DC where Ellen Ratner standing by with her bias back -- great to have you today.
Well thank you so much I have not to bash things to do -- today.
And the first is you know.
When a governor Romney -- went after.
The the issue when the Libyan bombing took place the press was all over governor Romney how could you said what he said -- center at center.
Well then the president described.
What has happened with the Middle East unrest as bumps in the road.
But the press has not been over the president for that.
They described.
Governor Romney is fairly IE in terms is not doing politics stopping politics at the water's edge.
But the president talks about bumps in the road with all going on with the sort of not it's very successful Arab Spring.
And the media gave him a free pass.
So it in that in of itself of course is raising some concerns as you point out although it fox here they've been raising it quite a bit.
That term bumps in the road.
Well I understand backed out -- -- -- all the media not write our own fox either channel IQ what's your next -- -- up for my next issue is this this right off of governor running now that everybody knows I'm a liberal but you know I had called biased one night.
When I see it.
And out frankly the president did get a bump after the conventions no questions.
But now.
On the daily poll ratings that we're seeing 4648.
-- comings from the neck and neck within two points which of course is always within the margin of error.
The media has written off the election.
Or.
For Obama got -- not to -- -- giving.
Governor Romney is due and the fact that a week is a long time in politics and Ben Franklin.
Before the advent of electronic -- And so the media is just written off this election.
That is not a very Smart thing to do because obviously can change around and secondly does show -- with me.
Why I think the -- been so eager to write the election not even before the first debate has happened.
You know I just don't know I mean of course there's a lot of studies that show the people to cover the White House are.
Democrats it's that are -- I'm not so sure -- buy into that.
As much as the media may not like governor Romney for whatever reasons they may not consider him.
Viable for whatever reasons I think that's completely ridiculous because as we've seen.
I mean look at the 2010.
A congressional elections mean things no -- projected that and I think it's way too early.
To predict before any of the three presidential debates before the one vice presidential debate in Kentucky to write anybody off.
I you know if if if the governor Romney gives a strong debate performance -- best to net two point differential could go away.
Very quickly.
Easily and I don't know I -- call a time where the media rode out the election so early on I mean this was this been gone for awhile now couple weeks into it and I find it bizarre frankly that their party saying it's all over.
It it it it is -- it it really is quite as surprising because listen I am from the great state of Ohio.
Ohio is by no means -- the bad one way or the other it's very very -- and Ohio.
And a Florida and a couple the other swing states but mainly the great state of -- Are going to be very important in swinging this election one way or the other and they are not -- it there's so many undecideds.
That no one can predict how the great state of -- -- That's for sure and already have we should point out early voting has begun in many states.
That's right that's right and and so when you have early voting you have military -- you know I I recall.
On election night 2000 I was actually doing something on hair.
And I was asked well you know why doesn't it look like it sort of guy said -- we haven't even counted the military balance in Florida you haven't even counted.
Necessarily some absentee ballots it's.
Way too early and it it's shameful that the media is predicting this.
Well it was great to see you with your insights and I know people want it kept -- Allen and the rest of her team.
They can do so on Saturdays with FOX News Watch it comes at 3 o'clock eastern time and this was my Jon Scott we urge you check it out on thank you very much thank you for to see you again -- I would.
