-- -- Virginia governor Bob McDonald I see is there are -- well I'm the blood and a lot of the speed -- about jobs and he says and then.

And governor Romney says I have a plan to create twelve million new jobs.

Their magic -- Now it starts with the basics of a good free enterprise system -- taxes regulation.

Litigation -- and positive about success you taught you heard him talk a lot about that tonight.

Entrepreneurship.

-- -- small businesses that's a big part of his plan.

And just being positive about about our economy -- mean that of the leader of the free world can have a lot by what he says that his -- And making a difference -- Obama comes Virginian says you didn't bill but somebody else made that happen.

That -- says I know you can do it I believe the the American dream I believe and if it's a big change business response to that.

You -- your home state of course of Virginia you -- a -- loved these days President Obama was just there -- and tomorrow is the first -- your party's official nominees.

The enthusiasm is much different President Obama -- Charlottesville yesterday half a crowded group.

Two years ago Mitt Romney -- stuff from Tampa Richmond Virginia tomorrow afternoon -- Paul Paul Ryan.

We have front row seats at the convention.

Governor Romney obviously things -- is important and or conservative state.

President Obama did a good job for years ago very uplifting positive message won Virginia first time -- 44 years.

The credit now -- small ball at some tax return to -- capitalist social issues its division.

Very big contrast to that Romney Reagan optimism that you saw tonight about -- not actively with uplifting vision of American exceptional -- and I left inspired.

And I think he is so winning independents now and I think -- continue from a dead heat right now and when version.

We had a surprise guest tonight the mystery -- and that was Clint Eastwood we have some sound that's.

But I just like to say something ladies and gentlemen.

Something.

That I think is very important that he did.

You we.

We own this country.

Okay the -- And I can.

-- -- We -- candidates not view owning it and not politicians -- it politicians are employees of ours.

-- It.

Just gonna come around and beg for votes every few years and it's -- -- deal but I just think that.

It's important did you realize that that didn't end and that you're the best in the world.

And if the -- Democrat or -- your approach Republican who would you libertarian or whatever because the best and we should not.

Never forget dad and we wouldn't somebody does not do the job.

We've got a little ago.

And.

In the am.

I.

I am.

The it.

Other residents say he's not -- jab let him go but do you worry that there's going to be this hot -- that Twitter would love out there and -- land it is set on fire about the controversy over having him onstage tonight.

It's unusual to have a Hollywood actor out there are supporting a Republican in the first place.

I think despite restricted may not have worked too well what -- -- future.

That one line that you just saw was powerful -- somebody's not doing the job.

You've got to let him go and I think that was Mitt Romney's message as well the lofty promises a President Obama about either save in the oceans or.

Cooling cooling the planet.

What he said is I just want to help you and your family because unemployment is at a record level data through the roof of sixteen trillion dollars.

Get Romney -- there was a problem solver I think at the end of the day that's what Clinton Eastwood was trying to say.

Do you think this could be too much talk about Clint Eastwood and not enough about -- -- -- the stick things that didn't go -- up.

-- think that this have a credible lead in May have PM may divert from the attention of the speech tonight and in fact -- -- senator rubio speaks.

You know you have 58 speakers some more home runs like guy and Romney Paul Ryan -- rubio and of course the closing argument.

From for Mitt Romney and that's what people gonna remember people don't vote for Hollywood actors are gonna vote for.

Through the the president the United States is going to be -- at the end of -- -- he -- to do three things humanize themselves.

Which he did and a wonderful -- it was -- life story touching moment about his dad putting roses on his mom's table.

Saying what the contrast was and how he could make it better I think he did that -- and I -- thanks.
