This former senior advisor President Reagan Pat Buchanan pat -- can -- in that way thank.
Plus or governor Romney that is -- excellent closing speech for the campaign he has and he may not have the numbers but he certainly has the look global winner.
You see there Greta do you read the numbers -- read the numbers in the well then maybe there Q okay did he was -- -- -- 30000 people there's real.
I -- real energy and fire.
And enthusiasm and a sense if we can win this thing in the Romney campaign.
The key question is that he's doing very well when your defense can question is can that -- com what is -- superior ground game the president always had.
And candidate over -- the state polls you can see it real clear politics state by state where they shortened slightly behind.
I think.
He can but I don't know that it's.
You know I don't know how exactly however better glad to put everything I had on it but what if Romney have to do.
He's already got to get in North Carolina depiction of Florida and Virginia -- is right now.
Take -- and New Hampshire 270 electoral votes he loses Ohio.
And takes Pennsylvania which is a little more of an uphill finish got more than 270 -- if he loses Ohio and gets Colorado.
And Wisconsin.
-- stated he still won so I think he's very much in this game and I know a lot of my colleagues are saying he's got it one.
I think he's on a winning course I don't know who's got one.
I really ground game which is great now where we are -- -- -- support they grabbed him at tennis or snoop around to see who's doing much for ground games.
And at a series of emails I was Ralph Reed death faith and freedom coalition he told me.
That he had -- governor I'm Sarah Palin do a robo call recorder a robo call.
That has gone to twelve million voters -- -- -- hot how important is is she too getting voters out he described as a major asset.
That she resonates very strongly evangelicals.
Especially evangelical women Tea Party voters social conservatives and that.
And again he repeats and she's -- major asset he's also got a 183000.
Live calls by volunteers -- Ohio just since Wednesday and he said others do rebel cause including Governor Huckabee Donald Trump.
Governor Scott Walker Newt Gingrich -- senator Marco Rubio and senator santorum's okay that's part of the ground game where you cannot.
Get a better person -- Sarah Palin to go for the Republican based approach you mentioned Tea Party evangelical social conservatives.
Because she's still got tremendous -- -- these groups and they should be inspired even one that is focusing on the economic issues.
But I had a anecdotal thing on Saturday I'm -- here in my basement writing the way and they're people pounding on my front door and I grew up there that it knew who I watched the city gonna vote Tuesday and even broke up did I -- yes I'm but it did the polls.
And I've talked to -- -- talk to folks at church this morning.
Who say I'm calling from DC into all high.
So there's tremendous amounts of volunteer work and energy and enthusiasm and that really counts for something.
And sometimes you can translate terrifically I don't Newt can and George will and others are saying you know -- you they think he's gonna win by five or six.
I'll -- for 270.
We -- I think enthusiasm picked up four.
-- the president Obama's own enthusiasm.
Maybe he get more enthusiasm not so much with hurricane sandy which a lot of people dead but possession that President Bill Clinton is on the -- and he is he's really pulling up the crowds and apply in the old theme music they were never going to Pennsylvania.
That they haven't gone to Pennsylvania it -- -- -- nervous a little bit about president where suppression corps he's gone out to Colorado following Paul Ryan.
Which -- look mean this is a firewall that may be about to be breached.
I do think the president's been hurt mean look at the close of that from him -- gracious -- -- it was uplifting.
It was America and then the president in his final -- that is you know voting is the best revenge.
Living in the next six fraction though -- -- -- -- -- living well is the best revenge is an expert I guess of course right.
We need change -- -- that Clinton prepares to protect tells him what a difference from what a difference remember 2008.
They -- Bloomberg -- were rolling with Obama and he was just happy and hope and change we're gonna do that we're gonna transform America.
Where is that -- that's what I actually think he's feeding his enthusiasm.
From President Bill Clinton.
And an administrative and he's really -- if he really revs up the crowd and he gets people ale laughing and talking not -- and president Bob doesn't quite have that fire in his.
-- rounded productive did.
President Obama is very good storms -- more than he's got his teleprompter.
He's very good etiquette but the message we can't tell you I think he was I think -- -- -- by being up there.
The NBA and that disaster area but when he gets back on the road with -- -- lesions and these things.
He comes down from the great pedestal -- pulpit of the presidency.
And it becomes another candidate like someone in the primaries going after a front runner and I think that diminishes the president I do think as -- -- He erupted Romney's momentum.
I think he also upped it he got himself up in that in that pulpit -- squash -- does she think for a week.
But I think change that I think he's been going back to where he was we might find out don't jalapeno -- points had done.
-- up five and six and seven point.
Let's see where he shows us.
I'm I'm -- -- pay attention and national polls right now I'm always this tension Ohio Colorado Wisconsin and Florida.
What -- Vanessa pulls me anything.
I think they do if looked at Mitt Romney's gonna win let's say let's say gallop by five points.
Then state you and -- are even talking about Minnesota and others.
They come into -- he's got a big wave go on that a number of those other states come into play.
And even states probably tipped over but all the polls I'm seeing Rasmussen they've all got hit even -- post -- down one.
And the energy enthusiasm we've got to make up for that here's and it's an -- I can't imagine what these two -- -- going through.
Well yeah especially you take a look at -- he looks like I've done the best I can could this is a great country it's in the lap of the lord black for the gods if you well.
And how much sense didn't get that from watching him and that closing remarks he's very tired you can -- that.
I think they're both exhausted -- belong in a cup clears we'll see Tuesday night it's clear that there's another 36 hours to Democrat thank --
