You grow -- what -- -- -- that in.

And Virginia particularly.

And I've always thought that.

In the absence of Democrats really.

Energizing the base.

Getting a message.

I've been impressed with what you've -- to congressman -- You know.

There's enough blame to go right now.

And absolutely bottom line at the bottom line you and you speak about this every day all through the day Monday.

The pot and that people elect and give their best absolute to a all Americans.

Tax dollars are going to be spent will be the -- that gets the attention and I think what has happened.

Because the more you talk about him and his remarks about talking about the economy -- talk about jobs.

And this is why it's in -- -- -- -- is going to be carrying the word.

Today's tomorrow whenever.

To the American people take them into your confidence -- say we're gonna do it.

How are you going to do.

Quit while you're there let me ask you don't want to tell you morning there's -- understands or do you think we're better off now -- we were four years ago that seems to be the popular.

Well and that's the trick -- and threw it through because if you say no it well wait a minute what do you mean you're not at war in Iraq.

You bring in troops all from Afghanistan at least you have a health care plan on the table.

Many people who are saying answers.

This saying they don't see any of it is going to happen it hasn't happened yet.

That's the challenge that the Democrats have that the -- is that the Republicans.

But for the office holders to say reelect us.

They've got to show what those last four years have -- what they brought and what they might bring if there's the reelection.

Has the president never reached out see you governor -- -- -- post your comments either on Joseph Biden nor.

This -- that review you were fearful that Democrats are -- I don't want to take words.

Out of place here -- that the party moved to Florida left at a moderate.

-- raising approach might be the better way to go giving -- -- present on the I haven't talked.

With the president since he was -- -- Richmond -- short while ago but I have talked with people in this.

People in this campaign.

And we have a mutual respect for each other they -- less than that.

My objective is -- saying that there's always been what's right what's best and that we can get to that let's -- it has nothing to do with body it has nothing to do.

Affiliation.

And and I'm concerned very much concerned with where we are going to be.

Not just in November where will we be in the next four years and even beyond that the -- of time.

When you deal with youngsters -- -- do on a regular basis I serve on the -- at Howard University.

Likewise.

As you know have been bought that Virginia commonwealth these students.

Having difficulty with a little.

Even on the law that are available because of some of the constraints that have been put forth from even when they graduate field and that -- Good job I've got -- that is that I know that's a tough not.

This my kids.

I know people who had two and three degrees can't get -- all right so it goes back to -- point.

Jobs the economy jobs the economy -- -- the issues.

It should be a bi partisan -- governor always a pleasure.
