President Obama has his message -- -- comes down a class war fat tax the rich we got back.

But what about Mitt Romney's message now that he's got the GOP nomination all but officially -- up what is -- is clear message going to be.

Former -- and Romney advisor Norm Coleman.

In DC senator welcomed the show good to have you with -- it's there it's great to be with you can you give -- Me and our view is what Mitt Romney would site what's his lying going to be has he got a 152.

Lying -- -- this -- as penetrating as Ronald Reagan's lines.

I would say well what I would say hey I'm kind of retro kind of guy and and the big F phrase or will that was asked untimely better off today than you or four years ago not pretty good yeah good question and and I think Americans are asking that into the 38 months of unemployment above 8%.

Fifty point six trillion dollars in debt thirteen million unemployed much more than that underemployed -- stop looking for work.

I mean if it that is a question is that clearer contrast in on the jobs and economy -- you mean.

Mitt Romney and Barack Obama as you've had any time I think by the way the the Reagan Carter.

Analogy is probably pretty good one -- maybe in in many ways that you by the way they've.

Your president's just I think he's got the same that foreign policy -- -- -- -- -- present -- Running or how'd you know criticizing -- around they've done is being tough and saying that we gotta deal with the -- you would have greater the bottom line that is the question are you better off today that you -- four years ago.

And yet there is -- not.

He's big he's he -- them Mitt Romney.

Must come up with a penetrating vigorous line in -- to go up against president Obama's class war fat is going to be I head to head fight via.

I think you'd agree with -- -- written Mitt Romney needs that life he's got a 59 point plan that's a good you -- synthesize this down bullet down.

And get something -- I think I think you -- -- but I I think -- underestimating.

The the angst of the American public.

When it comes to their economic future and and the policies of this president that it put us in a place that we haven't seen before least not since the Great Depression.

And so when you have noticed this president keeps our net income inequality there was a poll that was done just the other day by the third way which is a liberal.

Think type kind of -- and if you look at it closely.

Among what they call swing independents in the battleground states that's with -- -- going to be decided.

When asked the question of what are you prefer candidates have been economic opportunity.

Vs income inequality I think the numbers -- 80% -- I wanna to wanna I wanna candidates have an economic opportunity that's Mitt Romney.

Where Barack Obama's talking about income and equality that is class warfare and -- with you rephrase the question.

And specifically said income inequality focused on the middle class he -- at 70% to 6% of those swing independents who will decide this election -- -- something.

We're really concerned about economic opportunity this president hasn't delivered.

This country's in dire economic straits.

His stimulus program -- stimulus is spending programs have put us in deep debt.

And so in the in the end I hear what you say that you got to kind of boil it down to a single phrase but I think you're underestimating.

Okay angst in the American public when it comes to the economic situation -- Residents partisan fault senator Norm Coleman thanks so much for being with us come this is again employees who -- -- how this is this campaign shapes up from the Romney -- -- by historic that.
