Now wavering in Wisconsin President Obama losing his -- -- cheese country a new poll shows -- president and governor -- tied in Wisconsin.

Is this a -- voters in the midwest are shifting support to governor Romney.

Wisconsin this is important now Wisconsin 4940.

Rasmussen 4949.

-- you go back to 2008.

Obama carried Wisconsin 56 to 42 something big is having in Wisconsin and their -- having an Oregon and there's stuff happening in Iowa and there's stuff happening in Ohio.

And their stuff happening in North Carolina there -- stuff happening all over the place and -- Obama regime.

Train at five point two million jobs over 32 month.

What is Mitt Romney's plan he has no plan that's what the American -- focused on.

This is a huge election we can't afford four more years.

Of this and we have a big choice in front of us we can go along with a broken promises not just Sunday.

Pounding on the deficit on social security and Medicare and that the president's bigger problems to unite us instead of dividing us we can go to.

Governor Romney who has a history of working together with the other party and -- Job break.

Jobs away from America but confident I got news -- -- a president whose job is a great job yeah.

-- -- -- Yeah hey Brad -- job you're not running horse she.

The president's campaign slogan -- this forward.

But it's 43 million Americans struggle to find a good job these last four years feel a lot more like backward.

The fact of the -- -- -- -- governor Romney's economic policies are reverting back.

The same policies that I inherited that -- us to slow job growth in fifty years record deficits and worst economic crisis since the Great Depression this.

-- -- all that he inherited President Obama did not prepare our economy did not save Medicare and Social Security.

It's not -- the spending and borrowing he did not reach across the aisle to bring it together what he inherited.

Was the only problem what he did but what he -- made the problem worse.

Was hasn't.

Is in play the latest Rasmussen poll showing governor Romney closing the gap.

He is not tied with President Obama each of them with 49% of Wisconsin's likely voters then national polls -- and even grimmer picture for the president.

This -- simple trying governor Romney ahead by three the governor with 50% of the vote and President Obama trailing with 47%.

-- worse author of the book here come the black helicopter trying to screaming deck and you know I heard a great -- yesterday.

If Obama is reelected imagine the -- that would -- Okay well I'm shouldn't says the Obama but can't be all like that but the -- -- we'll probably enjoy that -- -- I'm curious looking at these polls tonight Wisconsin.

In four years ago President Obama stormed the state by fourteen points.

There does seem to be a rather seismic shift in that state yet.

Then there is.

By virtue of the incredibly intense organizational efforts there.

Of governor Scott workers people americans' prosperity.

And various other political groups that have really mobilize the free market forces and I was in that state.

They've been through a recall election a senate recall a judicial election and of course the -- election in 2010.

And they've won the mall.

And I think Wisconsin is gonna go for Romney but let me just put this in -- context Greta -- I don't think anyone as the overview.

-- 179.

Electoral votes and states John McCain carry.

Then there's Indiana and North Carolina we he just barely carried and there undoubtedly gonna go Republican that's 25 votes between.

That brings you up to 204.

Then you have 51 votes in swing states that have at this point probably swung to Romney.

A Florida 29 votes where he's 45 and Virginia thirteen worries five or six ahead and Colorado ten worries for that.

So that brings him up to 255.

He's got to get to 27.

So he's fifteen short.

Then you have a market basket.

Eight states the test 98 electoral votes with the polls basically now are tied.

New Hampshire for votes Romney's two ahead.

Pennsylvania twenty votes Romney's two ahead.

Ohio eighteen votes -- -- -- -- 86 votes -- -- Wisconsin ten votes they're tied.

Michigan fifteen votes Romney -- one behind.

Wisconsin and Minnesota sixteen -- -- these three behind Nevada nine votes -- -- these two behind.

But in all of those states Obama is under fifty.

And since we get -- get three quarters so four fifths of the undecided vote for Romney.

I think Romney has good chance to win although -- states but he is certainly gonna win at least one.

So he's gonna get at least the fifteen votes this business that.

Everybody should hang on what happens in Ohio is ridiculous.

He could lose Ohio.

I'm -- either Pennsylvania or Minnesota.

Or Michigan and Wisconsin.

Or and New Hampshire and Iowa and win the election.

And it's ridiculous to say that everything hinges on Ohio Ohio is proving more intractable and more even dead even.

But I believe that.

If you look at the polls in Iowa they have many to many Democrats and too few Republicans.

And proper polls in Iowa -- -- Romney one or two points ahead.

But frankly my view Greta is that Romney's gonna win this election by more than five points and that he's gonna get north of 300 -- when he electoral vote.

But out attitude about couple visited -- -- expenses and let's start first with Pennsylvania let's assume -- loses Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Byron York told me was quoted someone outs of the Pennsylvania service fool's gold -- Republicans sometimes think they can win it but they never can when it.

Do you truly believe that at this point -- Governor Romney can win Pennsylvania.

-- of course he can Republicans don't never win it.

In 2010 they got elected five new Republican congressman.

A Republican senator Republican governor and Republican majorities in both -- as the legislature what more is a state got to do.

So I think he will win Pennsylvania and I think he will win.

Wisconsin and I think it's a very good chance of winning in Michigan of course all of this presupposes that.

The other side doesn't steal it which is something we need to work on its.

Okay ground game top bits -- its importance between now and November -- is what.

Very important.

The Republicans lost fourth senate seats and 2010.

Because they didn't have a good ground game and the Democrats in the unions -- -- them.

Now I think the Republicans have gotten the message and are working like crazy on the ground making millions of phone calls and.

Home visits it's incredible I go out every day and -- Amazed by what they're doing.

Richard -- I learned yesterday -- two days ago Greta.

That the United Nations has decided to send inspectors to monitor our elections to make sure that there honestly conducted.

And the guy at the UN who's running that is from Slovenia.

Which was a Communist country until twenty years ago.

And Perry in Texas has refused to let these inspectors Dan.

This is kind of staff I talked about in black helicopters this.

Global government that the UN wants to tell us the oldest democracy in the world had to close relations.

I don't have to begin we know that that we are the oldest democracy in the world and added his international monitors -- Frankly I hope we have an aggressive.

Justice Department looking at these Apple's -- other organizations the hastily you can go on -- -- -- the only arena left right everybody but -- -- idea that in the oldest democracy is being sort of I I not why -- troubled by that I like the idea foreigners -- in and and check in on our guard make sure we can vote.

By the way Greta I wanted to mention I don't know if you're you're gonna cover Ben -- in -- -- but.

The one of the guys who died one of the former seals.

Isn't it was a man named Tiger Woods and he leaves a widow and a three month old baby behind.

And -- Dick Morris dot com you can find the address for his memorial site we've raised a 120000.

Dollars for the widow.

And the baby and I'm please go on that site because he retired from the seals a year ago.

The seals do not pay him the death benefit they normally -- And -- we want to make sure this kid goes to.

College.

Well we are indeed -- -- the fact M Huntsman addressed this show is going to be about dead Ben Ghazi -- -- a great -- for Lisa thank -- deck and thanks for joining us.

Thanks a lot.
