I do believe in data. And I believe in magic and wearing gloves and all that garbage. But the truth, this is still a day to do business. And the data suggests that it's highly likely that President Obama will win tomorrow.

If you don't move the needle on jobs in 3.5 years, you will lose your job, Mr. President.

Ehud Bark has said he's never had better, stronger military and intelligence cooperation from the United States than he's had under the Obama administration.

I do think, John, it's a certainty. It is, I will say, an important issue to investigate. That the administration's investigating, the Congress is investigating, that's good.

Ehud Barak has said he's never had better, stronger military and intelligence cooperation from the United States than he's had under the Obama administration.

The administration clearly did not have all the facts when they started saying that they had all the facts, and so the initial stories they say were overtaken by events.

There's only two ways to run in America. And that is scared or unopposed.

The Obama campaign is making the case and I think they have got the better of the argument that the governor opposed, Governor Romney opposed the auto bailout.

Notice that in the vice presidential debate last night, one of the very first things that Joe Biden did when they turned toward the economy was raise the auto bailout.

He should stand up in that debate and raise it himself and disavow attacks from five years ago on the president that seem to me to be driven perhaps by race rather than economics.

If I worked for Mitt Romney I would instruct him to bring it up. Bring it up to knock it down.

It's the economy, stupid. You're running against a president with 8 percent unemployment and 1.3 percent GDP growth. I can't imagine why you would talk about anything else, especially race, which this president I think has done a wonderful…

You want to run for president looking like a president.

First, that he doesn't care about the middle class.

Well, because the Democrats are trying to push two narratives. And I'm helping them, as you point out. I help a pro-Obama super PAC.

President Obama's campaigning saying, I want to cut taxes for the middle class and raise them on the Romney class.

The last point is completely wrong. First up to that, I salute Ari, he's embracing this, it's not a gaffe. It's -- what Mitt Romney said is what Republicans really believe.

Well, thanks for the help, Mitt. In the latest CNN poll, by the way, before this gaffe, President Obama had a 20-point lead over Mitt Romney in the question of who's more in touch with the concerns of the middle class.

That is so offensive. And it does shine a light on the sort of arrogant elitism that clearly animates Governor Romney and his views toward fellow Americans.

I would say, with all due respect to Brigadier General Ryan and his, you know, five-minute marathon claims, this is another whopper from Paul Ryan.

I think that Congressman Ryan has succeeded in destroying so far in his campaign in destroying his reputation as a truth teller.

I do note in our latest CNN opinion poll President Obama has jumped out to a 12-point lead on who do you prefer on foreign policy.

Let me be just being honest. The Republican didn't nominate Mitt Romney because of his foreign policy expertise. If they wanted a foreign policy expert, they could have nominated Jon Huntsman or gone back to John McCain.

The difference of the Republican party, Mitt Romney claims the platform doesn't reflect his views on abortion.

President Obama put it back in. He was informed about what the platform said.
