The right wing whambulance rides again after another Romney disaster.  Karen Finney, msnbc Political Analyst and Former DNC Communications Director, looks at what all the complaining about moderator Candy Crowley really means.

Paul Ryan fumbles while trying to pander to Ohio football fans. We'll have the details.

And in the Big Finish, while Romney promises to get tough on China, workers in Freeport, Illinois, are losing their jobs to the Chinese because of his business policies. Ed will talk with James Hoffa, President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
