And the set is former senator of Indiana and wanted to -- some of the -- are there estimating that probably a 130.

Jobs have 30000 jobs created.

In the last month after a 180000.

A month before.

Probably gonna keep unemployment above 8%.

I'd rather another month plus a continuation of what we see.

-- that job we're not -- really remember wondering now.

The political ramifications of that are that no president has ever been reelected -- whether.

Right down the -- and so you know less than twelve hours after President Obama gave.

You know his best pitch for another four years and around is going to be able him.

With this number whatever it is it probably isn't going to be a year ago.

And the Republicans had a good convention and it got that one or two point bounce from that my guess is that the Democrats got that back over the last few days.

I think the thing to look better the debate's most of those independent voters out there for an appeal to by the you know the rally in the faces they're gonna wanna see his achievements and side by side.

No spin no filter would see what they've got would you think of the president's performance last night.

I thought it was good but that people -- expect him to do very well just.

Good not great well you know the bar set pretty high by Bill Clinton and I think that was the main thing to remember Steve -- when you're a first time candidate like it was four years ago there's a blank canvas.

People are willing to pay a lot more attention to his speech when you've -- the incumbent it's -- what have you done.

And so there's not as much room free speech to really deliver big bounce for an incumbent is there is for you can't -- let's talk about some things that happened this week while we're here in Charlotte one of the things is governor O'Malley.

Had to walk back to comment he was asked so are you better off today than you were four years ago he said.

No -- that he changed his mind we get -- listen to these.

Can you honestly say that people are better off today than they were four years ago no but that's not the question of this election.

We are clearly better off as a country because we're now creating jobs rather than losing them.

See now that's a problem.

That's a messaging problem.

Well you know all politicians say things they wish they could take back you over you know and we had some issues with the platform that will correct that.

But look I think what people gonna focus on Steve after all the -- all the speeches.

What are you gonna do going forward -- really matter in my life particularly on the economy and jobs.

That's what people are gonna look -- for the next sixty days and and you mentioned the platform problem that.

How does someone get -- messed up that badly.

You know I don't know that's kind of an -- what -- the weather happens sometimes people say things they regret I assume they worked in the platform for a long time.

I'm just glad it was correct and that god was put back into that Jerusalem was literally.

What kind of the capital group of Israel that's right and -- the general election starts officially today now that we.

Got both conventions under our belt senator thank you very much -- -- -- be well.
