Did you -- the special edition of the factor preview of the presidential debate this evening with a -- a purveyor Dick Morris dot com mr.

Morris are Rasmussen daily tracking.

Well -- we trust has mr.

Obama up by just two today which is a dead heat you know with the margin -- -- -- I'm standing alone tonight everybody is saying no Mitt Romney cannot bring it to the president with the emotion -- You great.

I do not believe that he should raise the tape.

I think that he should find a way -- mention the tape.

In the context of something somebody else does.

The 47%.

Would be good on so when I cities and I use that as a shield and I think the big reason I agree with that -- and I think the big reason he should.

You mention the tape is to force the mainstream media to play it.

To my knowledge this is not out there -- there do what they always do has not been played on.

The nightly news of the three stations that I -- -- they haven't covered the campaign really tonight on his level if he alludes to what they have to cover.

And sort of news media because he's alluded to a -- debate -- viewers want.

But there -- three large things he has to do tonight.

Number one he is falling behind in the number of the swing states.

Because of the range of personal attacks Obama has made on largely on his business career.

And he should have been answering those and ads but yes to answer them in this debate.

He asked to explain what Cayman Islands is -- -- -- the 47%.

And when he does that he will completely dismissed.

Obama's campaign.

Today.

Do you believe that his explanation.

Of his tax shelters or -- and it and will will just put it to rest Jeffords he should -- about the Cayman Islands.

Bill and Hillary Clinton but it's -- -- is 236000.

Dollars to foreign tax credits in 2006.

That's more than I did.

OK so he's got to say to the people that these criticisms -- against new secretary of state -- -- it okay to make all right.

He's got to say -- bogus it's actually write that but I -- and they very interesting.

You said that he's pulled ahead in the swing states last time we talk to you.

You submitted that he wasn't ahead this week states that he particles are bogus and he got an opposite -- said just now.

He's falling behind -- behind -- agents have been ahead that is true.

And I think composer so bogus I just did this -- John McLaughlin pollsters send -- a memo and I went through it.

If you take Ohio Florida and Virginia you combine them yeah the exit polls from the last four elections have -- one point democratic ex -- The polling that has been done -- month of September notes these states hasn't eight point and I wrote stealing a seven point.

For joy you holding to what you said here last week.

Where is you don't believe these polls you think that they are consciously -- -- what you set and it was it was -- done deliberately.

To put the president ahead in a psychological way you still beholden -- -- I give it -- election were held tomorrow in Ohio for example where.

Obama is up by eight in some polls do you think Ronnie would be a little.

Ohio right now would be an absolute.

Too close to call.

We would win Florida -- Romney would win Florida and Virginia.

Relatively handle -- okay.

Now let's get back to the second point yet give back your points on -- debate this race has been that little tiny things little.

-- -- What Romney needs to do -- to make it about the big thing that's because on the big things the American people agree with him.

Do you want more spending unless you want more government -- -- you want more regulation or less you want -- drilling or not.

These are the ultimate questions that we've been debating for two years the American people have spoken on them repeatedly in polling in in the off year election.

And Romney needs to raise these and -- these are the fundamental issues in the -- Are you got ninety minutes in this election -- -- the first avenue it is going to be on the economy.

Then there's something about governance -- -- which your philosophy is this wishy washy garbage not amount to anything and the last part is just going to be summing up.

So the economy is really everything.

How much does Mitt Romney promote himself and how much does he attack his opponent put a percentage -- -- has got a lot of air time is gonna have a lot of time to make his points how much dizzy from -- what I'm going to do.

And how much does he attack with the president has done.

One -- percentage two to one when I'm in again.

Because he already has a large large -- reservoir voters who have rejected Barack Obama.

-- Romney vote plus the undecided vote in every poll was well over fifty.

He's what he's got to do is convince those undecideds and he's -- -- -- a total one positive rather than negative a look at the third thing you have to do.

Which he probably does in the government's debate may be in the economy debate.

He has got to put Obama care back into the selection.

The selection has to be back to things.

The economy and obamacare that's the import of the Roberts -- in -- rid of obamacare -- get rid of Obama.

And he needs to talk about that and make that a huge issue in the election he's largely given Obama a -- and that.

OK but that's because Obama's gonna see.

You would a model for Obama care in Massachusetts and then you're gonna get back into the big thing you -- it is no I didn't know yes and -- -- and I didn't.

No you're not the big thing about Obama care.

Is that it sets up -- board.

That tells the elderly.

What treatment they can get in light of then number of years -- no you can't get a thank heart transplant no you can't get a knee replacement.

As utilities you lied on her own but you can't get it under the insurance -- and what and what is that different from Massachusetts and it's nothing like that.

Okay see -- say he got a point out two things I don't think -- and up one other thing.

That look this separates me from what I did in my people want it up there is what you did you get a fascist death board that's now would you call -- that.

I've got a -- his death poll are you got to see I would do you have a border fifteen unelected bureaucrats believe they killed and Randy is that if -- don't think it's worth it figure out why.

Now I have one fact for you know we document -- -- -- would you put it in those stark.

Term now I would say you have fifteen and elect not to -- is really came within a -- posture and is polite one of your p.s and you know I don't know -- polite it's gonna cut it anymore marsteller one of the things you.

I looked up how much aid was given by the federal government to Katrina to Andrew and to 9/11 yes.

The fact is that more is that.

That that -- Katrina.

Got twice as much Jamie as Andrew when 9/11 combined.

Okay.

But then he'd have to bring that -- In in relation to the tape I think they'll be plenty of chances from bring it up and I think he should because he's got to force the mainstream -- -- -- Hang in there for second way to try to go back to Denver and go to.
