All right we're back now with our campaign insiders here again are -- -- routier pat could -- and Doug -- legitimate.

During the break we were having a nice conversation about.

This picked up.

Of congressman Paul Ryan and how does that appeal to governor Mitt Romney's base.

Channel.

I did no doubt this thing re excites a base that already was excited to defeat President Obama the real question Kelly.

That we have to look at the next couple weeks as does this get the Republicans voters who weren't already gonna vote for the Republican -- And that is a fundamental question gentlemen ordered there's another question.

Will this excite a democratic base exactly and -- spirited I think it could because this gives some.

Meat to the argument that the president has been making that key social programs aren't playing that taxes for the -- what -- -- to go down.

You do it why were -- any dissenting voice for the Republicans of over it saying this moment seems a Democrat.

But you know Republicans have a death wish sometimes it seems to me that death which -- around.

Wanting to go after things that terrify voters into being frightened of them.

Many commercials I think Paul Ryan's handling of that was disasters.

In 2010 we solve the 23 district in New York.

Where you don't brought coffee cup name Republican treatable.

The Democrats -- feel energized as Doug said.

I don't know why this appeals to independents unless it gets up to big stakes and and if Romney does that that it can be -- -- job there's been no talk about jobs.

-- it is amazing really that the message from the Republicans which should be.

I Mitt Romney problem solving job creating.

Can I have I'm independently rich so I don't have to go -- the government to make money on and -- go to Washington to clean up.

The sewer that is -- d.s sake.

We hear none of this from the -- telling -- Paul Ryan talk about it today.

Over there in the North Carolina and -- -- where he did say.

That in terms of looking for jobs.

This is the man who can do it governor Mitt Romney but.

-- you're republic you concerned about this ticket now.

Well I'm I'm I'm gonna watch it I I I wanted to say something that in the big big picture for the future of our country.

I still unhappy to have the discussion.

About entitlements because Obama has -- -- Obama.

What has on that he was given a plan Simpson Bowles to get this thing under control he -- aided the thing.

But since simple at any Brian voted against it to I don't know but at least that country is finally gonna learn I thank.

How broke all this stuff is and that something's gotta be -- to.

Welcome to now he's another -- recruitment has long did you bring your Simpson Bowles.

It should be noted that Erskine Bowles wrote.

A column today an op Ed piece that he.

Had criticisms for both the president as well as governor Ronnie but he also had praise for both of them -- certain aspects of the -- that he would adopt.

So even in that regard there's still a lot of but there there's there's a lot of what but wouldn't Robertson Santa -- Clinton Campaign has -- -- -- -- is at least somewhat in the hope we better than the campaign we've seen with the -- with no bottom.

Where we had the president glasses his his.

His campaign lying about their involvement -- association.

With the attack accusing Romney of -- -- woman burned in on the same side you know when Harry Reid out there saying I know of in the senate floor.

That Mitt Romney paid no.

Panic attack and on the runways aren't you -- nothing but -- so maybe a little bee colonies you.

As bad as the Obama and it may be in on factual they've been working they've been driving the Romney negative up.

Obama is going up and why should they change strategies because it's -- -- Well that's because the Romney campaign is science and -- -- on the -- and I said for months failed to do what they need to do in May June July.

That -- really get out of -- -- -- -- -- first let me car accidents at that Erskine Bowles column that was on August night.

But I want to go into Nevada let's look at one of the battleground states here.

And we're gonna look at the polls forward about it and how the president and governor Romney is shaping up.

We see that President Obama is at 50% there and governor Romney at 45%.

Tell me what you -- -- but Harry Reid has fired a salvo across the bow.

About governor Romney's taxes and he's he made an accusation that governor -- -- not pair.

Harry Reid won eight campaign in 2010 vicious negative campaign against Sharon angle he believes that.

There's -- -- -- there are no limits.

Given Paul Ryan.

Given the prevalence of Hispanic and African American and -- low income white voters I believe the Ryan plan plus the aggressiveness of -- Puts.

Both Nevada and indeed the southwest.

More firmly in the Democrat here.

-- look look there's don't want repeal -- Ryan Hampton Hispanic voters not -- Turkey and let me just say bottle of voters.

You'll -- lot of people retiring the bottom but you look at Pennsylvania Florida and Iowa and I've got to go oh my gosh if Medicare is the issue.

You have to you will be some real questions about whether that's has.

He's unless the word real quick because -- -- to show them the full screen for Latino decisions basically showing that President Obama -- 69%.

To governor Romney's 20% citizens this is the biggest to stress on wall is that since winning the nomination in effect in March.

Governor Romney has done nothing to heal up the damage among Hispanics.

Independents.

And women voters haven't done it -- -- made -- announcement doesn't -- -- -- -- great -- -- -- promote voter I see your passion this is -- great discussion we could go on for a long time but we'll fight every one.

You can get more.
