Hi everyone on Lorraine -- in for Bill O'Reilly thanks for watching us tonight.

This state of the race that is the subject of this evening's talking points -- Three days of speeches at the Republican National Convention successfully drove home three points one.

Mitt Romney has the experience and the demeanor required to get this country moving again.

-- Mitt Romney is a caring person he's a family man he possesses a great empathy for those -- -- And three Barack Obama's policies have failed miserably.

I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed.

But -- promises gave way to disappointments and division hope and change had a powerful appeal.

But tonight I'd ask a simple question.

If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama.

Shouldn't you feel that way now that he's President Obama.

You know there's something wrong with the kind of job -- done as president.

When the best feeling you had was the -- you voted for him.

Nevertheless the RCP average still has -- saying all tied up but Obama still maintains a sizable lead in the Electoral College.

So what next for the GOP.

And -- final 65 days -- this race Romney needs to convince voters of two important things.

First he must make the case that our lives can and will get better under his leadership.

Where will we see those twelve million jobs you promised what would -- be created how Long Will it take.

We need to see it that with him it is morning in America again.

Second his team must hammer away at the facts of president Obama's failure with powerful ads and strong speeches on the trail.

The New York Times is reporting today that most 58%.

Of the jobs created since the so called recovery began.

Have been of the low pain variety.

That's terrible.

As Clint Eastwood said last night when somebody does not do the job we've got to let him go well putt and that's the memo and now -- for the.
