Well, CNN moved Wisconsin into the toss-up category from lean to Obama after Ryan was picked. So clearly Paul Ryan on the ticket has made a difference.

Candidate goes in and wants to reform Medicare in a way that could take it away from him.

There are some polls coming out of Florida now suggesting Obama has been helped by the Ryan selection.

But what I also found interesting in the CNN poll in Wisconsin is that among 65 and older, Romney has a substantial lead over President Obama.

Clearly Paul Ryan on the ticket has made a difference, Soledad.

That's what gives suspense to this campaign, Soledad.

Of course the point of the ad is to make the point that Mitt Romney was responsible for this woman's death because she did not have health insurance.

I think it ultimately is going to make it much more difficult for the winner to govern. They're not going to have the kind of public support you really need to govern well.

President Obama has opened up a lead, especially in some of the battleground states.

Both sides frankly are playing dirty.

Well, he's got his base to worry about. He wants to get a high turnout from his base.

It's terrible. Listen, there was a president named Bill Clinton who had the guts to stand up on these issues. He did it in 1993, signing the Brady law. 1994, he had another law, as assault weapons ban. Then he came up on a smart -- on a…

President Obama campaigned in 2008 and said he would get a new assault weapons ban, the one that Gloria that just said expired. He would renew it. And here, today, his press secretary is now telling us the gun laws on the books today are…

Every day that's spent talking about this helps the Obama campaign.

I think John is right.

The Obama campaign is now playing a very rough form of politics.

I think that the Romney people, the burden is on the Obama people to prove this.

I think Bain Capital has a very strong interest in getting the facts out as they know them.

The early indications were that it might be working in some of the swing states.

I think anything that shows less than 100,000 jobs a month is bad news for the president.

The president has to get those numbers up. At least the -- I think anything that shows less than 100,000 jobs a month is bad news for the president.

I happen to think that the attacks on Bain Capital are way off-base.

The governor consistently does poll higher than the president when it comes to who voters trust to handle the economy.

I don't think either of them yet has persuaded the country that they can do that.

I think a lot of these attacks are ill-founded.
