-- carry out Romney.

-- is that you think that his VP pick should have experience which is not Marco Rubio and terms of great fan of things and I'm not dissing mark rubio but he doesn't have a -- experience and the other is that.

The VP candidate would be pro life which is sort of you know his throw out two the far right so.

That the issue is that.

President -- -- present what is wrong with me.

Vice President Cheney said this morning and you can imagine that there are very few things that I agree with him on other than his support for grant gay rights.

But he said this morning what's important about the vice presidential.

Pick is that it's the first choice that you make it's the first important decision you make.

As the presumptive nominee here than nominated shallowest what kind of decisions he would make.

If you -- to which he lost me president.

Well I don't know don't -- me just that this one thing about rubio you know I I do think his youth and being from Florida's agree that good but.

Let's be real clear about this and you know.

The senator is is Sarah Palin -- a necktie and a great tea.

It means he's not degree he didn't have a great deal of of sort of substance to him he's only been in the senate.

For what two to three years Max.

That he needs a lot of a lot of experience -- to get some more full legislative and political -- under his fingernails.

In -- to for him to release -- Plea on the national stage I mean if you look at -- you look at MacDonell you look at even Jeb Bush for.

For example I think if there is so there's so many others that I think.

We did bring a lot more to the table -- rubio now the reality is it it is the end of the day it's still going to be a hard hard hard tough hurdle.

For Mitt Romney I mean.

This guy like abilities numbers are -- solo it's ridiculous so I mean you know I would even looking at having his wife -- who I think is a very impressive.

Woman and sort of who we are playing spoken this isn't like -- -- so I mean you know I know that won't happen but the reality if I think he's got a really figure this thing out if you had to go to the fall -- I wonder what mr.

rubio would make of the comparisons with Sarah Palin I'm sure -- can't even see Russia from his house in Florida.

-- -- Moving along though.

The would Wear hearing today.

-- -- all we've heard over the last few days.

-- wrong me talking again and again about the women's vote everybody's talking about the women's vote on the -- And Romney being put out front more and more on the whole the whole -- home moms debate.

And build the women the gender gap is another issue here isn't it that Mitt Romney has to face up to and is trying to obviously.

Well absolutely and partly because women voters -- -- ten.

To be more likely to be independent and swing voters which is the other thing.

Block that you have to get because.

A candidate will generally get the base that gets them or -- -- -- which gets some up to about 48% that's not enough.

You've got to go over the hurdle of 50%.

And you need your flexible -- jobless I.

It seems -- and these -- I don't but that the Republicans are very convinced that there's no war on women but apparently there's a war on stay at home moms which comes out of -- words of one democratic Condon -- -- in no way connected with the campaign or with the DNC as was reported incorrectly.

Luckily.

Jarvis -- never say anything idiotic but apparently.

Now you might accidentally you -- -- comments about that -- Johnny Halladay let me get jobs thinks that -- let you both of a job as quickly on the on the gender gap is it one of Mitt Romney can close.

It's going to be tough it's gonna be real tough.

-- I think the president.

With -- as ace in the hole called the First Lady.

Is it being able to go on the campaign trail is going to be real tough for him to overcome the gender -- all right guys thank you very much stash of guns pulled.
