-- Dowdell leads -- new -- in Florida Ohio good news for President Obama joining us from Columbus the governor of John Kasich.

-- gets it -- you know I'm worried about people see you to think -- off.

The thing you know because you obviously before you with the chief executive ten years that's dry years like -- substitute here in front.

-- -- quinnipiac poll that has.

Has the president -- in your state also has view.

Approval rating 48 disapprove 35.

So you'll in this poll are doing very well but -- Mitt -- not doing as well as you are and I wanna know why.

Well you know I listen to Karl Rove and -- and I agree with -- bill look I mean these polls I mean pay attention to him I mean the numbers you just cited are numbers that I I didn't even pay attention to on my own numbers because.

It depends when you ask it depends how you ask it depends what the sample is.

And look I think this is very close side here and it is going to go right down to the wire and it's going to be.

With you know what's gonna happen it's gonna be who convinces people that they can create jobs for them for the people that are listening and for their children when you're I don't know to -- -- us all about job.

I cannot understand -- and I really don't understand it a -- Ohio many many times you go in there and you win.

The governorship you would like to ports aren't close you know -- -- topic area.

You know a good job according to folks who live in Ohio they they like -- job be doing.

You bring down unemployment all right you bring down the deficit -- Republicans.

You're a -- public.

Right -- you are performing well in your state shouldn't that be enough.

Your performance.

To Mitt Romney win this state.

Well bill I mean I think it helps but look people you know endorsements are great Leo for raided in politics hello -- -- -- -- important to -- -- why aren't the Buckeye State people's -- Okay we put -- republic give in and he's improving the economy.

Why would we put another public union.

On MSNBC I'm I'm trying to logically think this now.

Well bill I I think that you know look they've gotten to know me over a period of time you know and with Mitt Romney he comes again but you know he doesn't live here all the time I'm here all the time.

What I think he needs to do you know frankly he's here all the time like today I am today it was an -- today and I -- -- out of it.

Yeah I think they ought to be paying income taxes -- here you know.

But -- but if this was not real close they both wouldn't be here all the time.

And I think what Romney needs to do.

The question is people wonder does he understand.

Their problems and when he's out there he touches -- He just has got to touch as many peoples he can that's why he has to keep coming back and the more he is back here the better he'll do.

If he continues to have a message that says one basic things -- I understand your problems and I believe I can fix them here's a.

You got the Cleveland.

That's gonna go Democrat always goes Democrat there okay.

So and then you got -- you know the certain Republican precincts but I'm surprised I really am I thought that that Mitt Romney would be doing much much better in Ohio.

Is it about television advertising is a television advertising equal there is -- another variable.

And I don't understand.

Well you said -- in your talking points people need to hear more about the fact that he gets them.

You know you said it in the talking points I thought it was very perceptive.

Mean the fact is when -- look I was with -- today in my hometown there was an overflow crowd bill that I've never seen to be before in politics the place was -- it was jumpin.

And he just has to get out and let people see him -- when they see him they like him.

But you know again he has to travel all over the country so the more he's here I believe the better he will do.

And let's let's face it Barack Obama is a good campaign -- But you know it is not so much about the negatives of Obama people already made up their mind about that it's what -- Romney can do to touch them and say I know how to do this I can fix this and I get you.

And it's important for them to get him and that's why those debates are important as people can begin to see.

Kim threw more and I kind of -- that can make it more judgment about the kinda guy he is right.

I'm -- and -- well these debates are critical.

I'm still a little surprise that it that the president is doing so well in Ohio.

UNS you have control over the government governor and you've been successful and you -- a Republican and that's what I'm not getting.

Last -- Look I mean I think at the end of the day again bill I'm here and people are seeing the results and I think the more that -- any does the more he talks about he's gonna implement the policies that we carried out in Ohio.

Nationally to take the headwinds -- -- Ohio can really grow.

That's a message that I think would really work and it can work and many other states including floor I tell -- have to put you up as a role model I think that that it would do not know nobody's gonna talk about policies not people this is about personality -- about.

Lower taxes less government economic growth which leads -- jobs the only thing that matters bill the only thing out here that matters our jobs and whoever can tell them in a swing state.

I know how to create them I'm gonna help your family -- your kids are gonna go to work that's who's gonna win in Ohio all right governor thanks very much --
