the difficult thing will be to pivot back to mitt romney and say who is the real mitt romney? which guy is here on this stage and where were you for the last two years? that's the pivot that's hard to do when you're trying to convince undecided voters. but as you point out, that's just a sliver of the election out there. he's also got to reach in a turnout election, he's got to motivate the base voters in the democratic party who may be not as enthusiastic as four years ago. >> the polls are back to where we were before the first debate. and obama supporters want to feel good. i mean people that watch the debates, they want to see their candidate do well. how much damage would be done if they don't come away feeling good? >> enthusiasm is a key measure. one thing i compare the election to is 2004. not just because of the characters involves or whatever you think, but the polls track closely. on one issue, if you look at the polls eight years ago, bush and kerry were tied after two debates. the big difference was that john kerry actually was behind when it came to registered vo
