You know it's really no surprise Allan that Mitt Romney is going to be clinching the nomination we've been pretty aware -- -- the question is is he going to clinch the key states.

Needed in order to win the votes to become president where do you think he stands right now as opposed to well you know I am from the great state of Ohio -- -- -- -- is and does so goes Ohio so goes the nation.

And I honestly don't think that he's going to clinch Ohio and therefore I don't think he's going -- clinch the presidency -- so Cheryl.

Would you agree you think he has a chance of clinching Ohio or do you think now I can't -- quite.

Absolutely.

Do you think that he will as well as Florida Pennsylvania.

Eight out the latest polls and again you know sometimes we love the polls sometimes we down and there are so many -- But he is running neck and neck with the president.

Romney is set to make history as the first Mormon to become a major party's presidential nominee and however were locked in a lot of Republicans were Allen.

To get this guy nominated once he gets nominated I mean would you say though at this point finally that most Republicans are rallying behind him.

The ones that made sure that the auto industry had to come back.

And that we are doing better and unemployment then we work when -- -- best friend Mr.

It's blame George Bush.
