Well right now thousands of -- -- conservatives are meeting at the values voters summit here in Washington.

And -- clear that they have no problem talking about god faith or confirming Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Virginia's very outspoken attorney general spoke to the crowd this morning.

Anchor -- -- joining us live from the summit now.

Good afternoon.

Well the economy is still dominance and do you think of that Mitt Romney is doing enough to connect -- voters.

Who are having a very tough time in this tough economy.

-- you know he had to get through long.

Tough primary and he's got some catch up to do that'll take call him all the way to Election Day.

In Virginia we're seeing him or Paul Ryan when -- nearly weekly basis Paul Ryan was there yesterday I believe Mitt Romney was there Wednesday.

And he's talking to people want -- go on and introducing himself in in in person in this.

Virginia.

For sure and I know he's doing that around the country as well also he's he's undertaking that task while talking to people about the economy the continuing.

Bad job numbers which actually mask how bad it is.

And it's interesting that over 8% unemployment that's a benchmark the presidents and years it's set years ago.

When he proposed as massive stimulus package.

And he has failed to meet his own benchmark there and at the time he said look if I don't get this -- item and it's going to be three years and I'm going to be a one term president well.

I've looked forward to holding and his word and Mitt Romney is put forward alternatives to the really poor policy this.

President has undertaken and and -- you concede looking around America and our economy where it's let us.

Another downgrade yesterday.

Yeah another downgrade and that's raising concerns about our solvency as we go forward.

Against the background of this -- stakes election.

The reaction from people across the board on the conservative side though is that.

Mitt Romney should do more.

-- just to show voters that he has a very clear.

Plan that sets him apart from the president and at times it seems that plan is not.

Being.

You know broken down to real specifics where voters can really get to know what it is he has in mind.

Well I think a lot of people would keep saying that regardless of what Mitt Romney said that complaint would still exist.

Because it's just part of the back and forth at this stage of an election but -- if you look at the course of government.

And you look at Mitt Romney's history look when he headed the Olympics he came in with a on nearly 400 million dollar deficit and a billion and half dollar budget by the time he was done three years later than a hundred million dollar surplus.

That's the kind of turn around.

That we needed at the -- at the national level he's done it before.

I did it with cuts and did it with efficiencies and dropping things that weren't necessary we're gonna have to have a lot of that -- the federal level to -- to achieve.

The kind of solvency that this country needs to be stable for the long term and that's -- kind of thing that has to happen.

In cooperation with congress and let's look at which candidate has been able to cooperate and work across the -- -- -- over 80% Democrats.

In Massachusetts when he was governor and he got a lot of things done there he worked with them all the time this president talked about being post partisan and blah blah blah.

And he came in and did nothing but.

-- or eight attack and was vicious with Republicans to this day he hasn't been.

Put any effort into working across the aisle.

-- he just attacks them.

Sits down gets lip service attacks more.

Only one of these candidates has demonstrated that they're willing to be cooperative they have a track record of being cooperative.

To work together with whom ever will come to the table in Washington to solve.

The economic challenges in the fiscal challenges of the federal government faces and let's let's not forget their enormous.

Yes they are -- has absolutely been unwilling to do anything about that are right that Kansas and I thank you so much for joining us with your insight today appreciate -- my pleasure.
