>>> welcome back. time for what now. first a little breaking newsp the supreme court has refused to issue an order that would have cut back on early voting in ohio. probably good news for the president as early voters seem to have been breaking for him and certainly ohio is a place he has his eyes on. and now pepperoni or sausage? pizza hut offering free pizza to life for anyone who asked the question at the debate but they are shelving the initiative after some negative feedback. ryan?

>> first of all this was a total sham. this was not free pizza for life. free pizza means any time i want pizza , i can have pizza .

>> pizza for life.

>> until you die.

>> pizza for life actually in this instance meant one free pizza a week for 30s years.

>> cheap. obama could have said i put in place a health care law that would have save you on your hospital bills. you won't have to go broke.

>> and mitt romney would say both, obviously.

>> yeah.

>> are you pepperoni or sausage?

>> if i had to choose i guess i go pepperoni, but i'm more of a mushroom olive guy.
