We're not anti capitalist for God's sake it's -- system the -- the contrary.

He's not.

Not anti capitalist for God's sake that is Joseph Biden campaigning in Martins ferry Ohio right there across the bridge from Wheeling island.

A beautiful spot in America.

And this is power play and we are with still -- a conference of reform -- -- Nixon -- you can listen to and -- PFW.

After the -- And it's worth sticking around for a promise so Joseph Biden is.

Kinda goofy.

But -- heat is also a blue collar Catholic Democrat.

Who President Obama believes can be -- emissary to these kind of voters so let's start with the baseline.

We'll start with you for this time.

Is do you think that Joseph Biden is he more help or hindrance.

He's the best weapon president Obama's -- I know that's gonna sound crazy but this campaign trail that is true because he connects with work white working class voters.

Who are souring on President Obama and he's somebody who can speak for unions which President Obama needs when it comes the geo TV particularly in states like Ohio.

Alex I don't know how they did that do but I can say yeah.

I say Martins ferry Ohio.

People who are in favor of gay marriage and people who -- -- close to coal mining.

Have some problems connecting that's -- that's of that that's absolutely true but it's about the union vote and trying to win back certain segments of the white white working class voters and that's where Joseph Biden is doing the best job he is the attack dog the president.

Now he's Garland do you think and he and he is attack dog indeed I mean -- that he toned it down yesterday the day before he was like.

-- that you wouldn't look at the -- you would just let it rip and these rich people and -- and -- Mitt Romney.

Too much.

No and see what what Joseph Biden -- charisma he has is that he connects with the emotional side of the brain some of the things you were talking about.

Just now -- they were rational reasonable things that you may discuss.

But people like you did have Joseph Biden's every day type of charisma date connecting emotionally people -- -- don't like the guy next door who comes over and borrows the lawnmowers.

That's exactly value -- -- yeah.

That's true but that's let me let me translate that for conservatives the media -- Joseph Biden -- -- rumor.

That's why media bias that -- -- -- its native.

Here's what I've -- -- the campus as watching Biden is like watching NASCAR.

You are just waiting for the crash.

And there is some truth in that that he has.

And that they embrace it to a certain degree don't they embrace the goofy Joseph Biden Obama -- I'm -- -- sheriff Joseph if she used him as they would say hey -- good job.

I did that to bomb he also.

That -- that onion parodies about him out a waxing is trains and in -- -- -- in the front driveway of the White House and all this after turning his goofy person but this is not what we're used to seeing.

Running made -- tackles that's a thing.

-- whether it's.

Dick Cheney.

-- you go back to.

Who's the governor of Maryland who is.

Richard Nixon's.

Agnew Spiro T Agnew -- -- mail.

That that's a common rule but goofy attack dog is something that's unusual does -- -- eventually catch up with Biden does it get to be too much.

You've got to look at how long as there's been in politics as it caught with a it would go to look and yet this has always been an -- to Joba to Joseph Biden is -- -- I think he connects with people in a different kind of way people like him so I mean he.

Reforms shall we say I -- people laugh at yeah.

People don't after the accident -- and a NASCAR and that people don't turn it off and walk away from the TV these people what they can -- and it.

Sometimes sometimes or just where -- where they -- the correct answer there is much like when you're watching golf.

It's just doze off the cleanup look at your eye catching you just do do do you you were taken to a peaceful sleep.

-- in we were talking before about.

Mitt Romney and his running mate.

Does who Biden -- and what he does affect.

Because this person's gonna have to debate Joseph Biden this person is gonna have to go toe to toe with Joseph Biden.

As to how much does Biden effect Romney's choice when it comes to make -- decision.

I think a great deal I think did the Republicans are -- in that attack dog someone who can take the media narrative turn it around -- and allow them.

Mitt Romney play offense they're gonna need an attack dog and they're gonna need someone who can message quickly on their feet and someone who can stay on message in paint Romney in the best possible light and -- that.

I don't know right now find out sometime in August and always look he won the pool -- LA but he's not now is actually my business partner Steve -- that I beeline for self it was a it was a it was a collaborative effort but it but you've -- give me three names let's let's talk about a range.

Rob Portman Susanna Martinez is -- risen to Chris Christie of managers.

A kind what do you think you should expect the -- -- You know I think Chris Christie would probably be a strong candidate because Biden didn't Christie was similar to bide their guys are kind of awe shucks kinda guys but they're really Smart they're both -- like a fox so I think that's.

-- wow yeah yeah yeah they're -- -- like a fox right is it okay.

It due to your point toward boxing says my only requirement -- against Obama's that they have a polls and I might even overlook that.

Feisty chat today you chatters are feisty out there.

The -- city.

Comment from they king of politics Chris it's not over till it's over Biden is no Dizzy Dean.

And so the this goes to the argument that Biden if this is a calculated play he's not just didn't risk that this that this is a calculated what you think this is and knowing calculated.

Style for Joseph Biden or is it -- I had an office and knowing chuck bass style but it's working and that and that's what -- the GOP has to really go against because he really is an effective attack dog even though those of us from the right thing gets the joke but it's working.

Well it's not worth while because Mitt Romney's symbols are up to fifty as we said before it is still -- from coming out of a bloody primary I do think the Mitt Romney's on the right path and I think you want -- to close that -- I'm obviously right behind to win.

Unfortunately too easy for you today he's arguing all your points for you today you're just you're enough of Atlanta you should you should say something good about the Republicans before we go and well listen that's -- Get out of hand speed and here's what I did prevail.

Good thanks a lot yeah.

I'll lose my mind yet.

-- case that's fine gentlemen we thank you very much for being with us we hope you have a great candidates fun as always.

And it's fun as always to be with you we'll be.
