He's Iraq in the world but he's got a lot of people's attention.
You know because -- saying that they these today adds that the Obama team is running against Mitt Romney -- questioning whether he's.
It -- in business for the money and and Romney started this campaign talking about how he created all these jobs so they're gonna.
Taken the other side of it.
But you know I K -- something.
Imus what what I find really interesting -- what's going on here frankly is.
You know Mitt Romney is not the robber barons at the Obama folks would have you believe gaining more than a bomb mine is a European socialist -- the Romney folks would have you believe but we're in this -- of these negative ads now.
And both sides will try you know to appeal to the extremes on both sides and that's where we are.
And and you know excuse me for you know looking for a bright side but maybe some of the centrists in both parties now are saying hey let's.
That's gonna get serious about this and you know get to get these campaign tobacco people in the folks in the middle not just to the folks on either side because you know earlier.
Last week you saw all of the I mean Mitt Romney and the existing.
Come down very hard on that independent step packed it was preparing that series of race baiting and heads.
Tying Obama to Jeremiah -- sales you know we've had -- people on both sides are now kind of saying to the people that they support.

This one is really really -- and I mean every poll about scenes.
The anecdotal evidence.
That that we see.
Suggests that this one could still go either way and I mean I'm one of those who who believe.
That he could that mean I wouldn't bet a dime.
On who's gonna win this election.
Right now I mean I think you'd be wiser by -- lottery ticket.
You know then do -- to -- to better -- on the outcome of this election.
And you know both sides are going to try to control their message is.
-- -- mobile tried to reframe this election and its.
That.
It's about fairness.
An -- guys can't take care of the little fellow.
Romney is gonna try to.
-- -- this just general referendum up or down on whether Obama's been a good Protestant which is -- what.
Opponents do when they're running against an incumbent but date they cannot control of Dan Simon sets -- thing they can try to control their message.
But they can't control what might happen in the middle each they can't control world.
You know what we've been what might happen -- Wall Street if it's another one of these big banks pulls one of these stunts like.
Happened it JPMorgan chase semi what's what's the -- of -- going to be they cannot control.
Vote saying so it may well turn it may well turn on the one of mobile site something -- Maybe should SN and you know elections of these have turned on less so I just don't think we can decide what -- how it's gonna.
