Barack Obama Wants a Second Go at Romney - In an interview with Diane Sawyer, the president admitted he had a "bad night" last week and said he can't wait for next Tuesday.

He's determined to win. Will he win, Sawyer asked? "Yes," said Obama.

Choice quotes -

On Romney and abortion - "Four weeks before an election, he is trying to cloud the question" on abortion rights, Obama said, "because he understands that most women think they can make their own health care decisions."

On recovering from last week - "This was one event. We've got four weeks to go. Nobody is going to be fighting harder than I am," Obama told Sawyer, aiming to reassure his base. "What they need is to make sure they tune in on Tuesday next week."
