Video: Campaigns sprint to the finish



>> great pleasure. more now on the intense campaign schedules both candidates are keeping, governor romney and president obama conveying the sense of urgency while on the trail.

>> you notice my voice is getting a little hoarse. i just got to keep on keeping on.

>> we're going to win on november 6th .

>> we're going to pull an all-nighter. no sleep.

>> we've had a number of debates lately. you know, they have really propelled our campaign.

>> i believe in you. i need you to keep believing in me.

>> the obama campaign is slipping and shrinking.

>> but check this out. in the "new york times" caucus blog michael shear says there are dangers in this all-out sprint we're witnessing to the election. he writes wall-to-wall campaigning leads to an exhausted candidate and that can lead to sloppiness, mistakes and gaffes. it's 12 days out. do you stand the risk of making a mistake, but it's about the ground game. there are no more debates and face-to-face meetings. why not sprint? why see it as a marathon at this point?

>> they have to sprint. they have to convey both a sense of determination that they really want this. both of these camps arguing every wake they can to the reporters and public on cable tv that they're moving in the direction to win the race. people like to be with a winner and if you're wooing those few indecided voters, maybe by indicating you'll win will win them over.

>> fr you were a supporter and watching boast both of the candidates, governor romney , president obama and if they did not appear to be in it to win it, people would certainly be grateful concerned saying that they don't have the momentum, kind the same narrative we saw in the first debate when some people interpreted the president as being low energy. if you're going to put it to the wall, it's right now.

>> you can look back to past elections, whether it's '96 or 2008 where one side or the other seemed to have a big lead and it the wasn't -- you know, there wasn't a lot of energy on the other side. it has a way of snowballing, and your supporters maybe don't come to the polls because they figure you don't have a chance anyways. both sides have to put out that message. we have two sides really close, so neither side does a positive message. they have to do a positive message and then also attack the other side. you have dual competing messages into the last moment.

>> the gaffes. who can forget howard dean with the dean scream. that's what you listed there. right now it seems like both men very well-oiled machines regarding what they say on the campaign trail. are those undetermined variables we don't see coming, for example, this mourdock comment and the senate candidate out of indiana, republican, and it's not clear, you know, it if governor romney is going to change his mind eventually and pull this ad. you have these variables unknown that can pop up, but as far as what they're saying on the campaign trail, it's a well-oiled machine for both of them.

>> they're both disciplines but they're both human. the truth is for as tired as all of us are covering the race, the two guys at the center, they're even more tired. i'm not saying they will make a mistake, but they're just human. you know, days and days and days of running on little sleep and energy, it can produce something the campaigns don't want.

>> stuff happens. great pleasure having
