It's looking more.

-- like Ohio may help decide tomorrow's election but in northeast Ohio democratic stronghold people.

Have experienced power outages in Cuyahoga County so is that going to affect the early voters right now is -- governor.

Said state John Kasich good morning to -- governor.

Steve so I were I read that in Cuyahoga County which generally leans to the left they had some pretty substantial power outages.

Which could impact early voting which wrapped up -- what yesterday.

Well there's there's still a chance to vote today and no we don't think there's been any any impact on that Steve that everything is up and running and -- we didn't we did have a serious loss of power.

But all the kids down to about a thousand people up in Cuyahoga County without power.

And but those voting -- all that dirt that's up and running it's it's it's all okay.

All right where you are the Fella who runs the state government bit well along with the legislature there in Ohio.

-- and I know you are a 100% behind Mitt Romney how does it look for him today the day before we vote.

Well you know we looked at that these -- these internals that they have by I don't study these numbers but I -- get briefed on them and you know early voting we we have found the Democrats falling short of what we believe their goals are which much shorter than.

Where they were just four years ago and so what you have is the I always think that enthusiasm really matters and you go to these rallies around Ohio and it's unbelievable the people that are showing up and you can't judge everything by rallies but.

You look at one camp and you look at the other -- you see.

Kind of drug grim determination in one camp and any other camp yet everybody's fired up it's like a swapped from where we were just four years ago so.

And again these internal polls have should have shown -- even though it's gotten closer particularly after that the hurricane it's gotten.

It's gotten closer.

-- Romney still stays ahead even though it's still very close.

World governor.

You know a lot of the mainstream media experts though who look and other polls they say.

It is close but the president has the -- what what are you know that they don't.

Well you -- understand Steve I've said this now over and over god created pollsters to make to make astrologers look accurate you know I taught -- -- -- -- up.

But now.

If if you ask a pollster -- -- -- -- projecting turn out what -- know normally tell you is what we do it on the basis of how people voted in the past when.

But that's probably not I mean when you take a look at the enthusiasm gap between four years ago and now.

You know it it's it makes all the sense in the world the sort of trim those numbers back.

So I think the internal.

Premises that they have in the Romney campaign.

Just show a a Democrat.

Turnout that's going to be decent but not to the level that they have had been.

Again it's you know it's all the way you -- the numbers in -- and I'm convinced 'cause I know -- pollster that.

They're Romney pollster he's he's very sober and very somber guy and he never -- you know irrationally exuberant I've never seen that -- Well that says a lot about it I love your line about astrologers I'm going to steal that John case it can enjoy and it's from there.

Great city of Columbus, Ohio sir thank you very much we may get an awfully busier day and a half.

Right more.
