When I caught up with the governor.
First and foremost is competence going it's it is crucial vote tomorrow.
A lot of the reason why you seen.
Some of the national Democrats backing away is because as people have gotten the truth as they've seen the facts out here.
They realize that wait a minute this is not what people told us would be there was a lot of misguided anger to begin with the we've had a lot of voters including some who have said they voted for my point two years ago -- told me they're voting for me.
Because they like what they see they like the results they like this moving forward.
You know obviously if you were to win governor major stature which is already risen nationally rises.
Probably a lot more.
And and there have been many news say that.
You your name -- dimension is of those -- running mate even this year.
Presidential candidate and has been a future year what do you say the well.
Percent of BP said if you wanna ask if it's their revenue and asked me -- would be a good pick from a -- and it's in my from Paul Ryan would be topical lest it do an exceptional job.
This has been from that your way of saying no if you if you -- it for my family for this state from my supporters I'm not going through a year and a half of this to the take off.
I've got a jobs -- limited -- it's enough it's I've got to fulfill my commitment to the voters of the state it was -- and we didn't go through this election we didn't go through this data we didn't go through all this.
For me go and take off somewhere I've got a commitment to follow through I want to help the people the state not the government.
People it's got to create 250000 just reported -- you.
This state don't generally could be -- -- edited at all I think there's -- data that we were diluted voting Democrat in the presidential its 1988.
Ronald Reagan the last to take -- state.
But -- -- -- 2000 some close in 2002004.
Jerry hello bush and Laura Bush Kerry race was the closest blue state America.
Two and a half million vote Obama won and a blow up.
We have a bit you know that -- particulates now I think a lot of dynamics were part of that 2008 even little list though.
The president has a comfortable lead in this way but I still think there for for purpose for the vice -- to -- for governor Romney to deal the committed make a case.
He's gonna have to come and assuming were able to -- which is still up close election.
But I think for him the could make a convincing case.
For voters here Wisconsin -- given the -- He's got to tell what he would do.
To be -- always courageous and tackle the tough but I haven't seen it got and the night I think didn't hear right the polls show him closer than would normally date -- -- thanks to your fight.
But I think -- I still think a lot of Republicans think this would be a tough state to take.
Well would be again just because of that track record but I'd probably need to Wisconsin had on the ticket and well it's like all right -- -- The economy nationally sir.
You to talk about approved -- here just the opposite nationally unemployment rate -- ticking up we've had some very distressing.
Economic news and retail sells consumer sentiment although.
Boilerplate stuff that you -- -- in your state.
What's going on -- -- heading into recession.
-- this a real concern I hear I travel like I'm here today go to small businesses are gonna factories are gonna farmers -- I go to places all across state nearly every day I'm out there.
It had been even before the campaign that in what employers want -- thing is certain.
They don't see certainly up there and I think what would be certain -- yield what would they need to get off the dime and start spending their -- the trillions they holding cash that they're not spending.
Well Wisconsin we said the recall is a part -- you get past that I think the same thing in this month of June.
If we saw something from the the United States Supreme Court.
The pullback in the federal health care mandate a lot of employers out there tell me they're very concerned about what Obama care means -- them.
Mean given this obviously -- -- -- than just kill them and yet to killed all -- I think you're right I think that's why it's not only what happens a Supreme Court that ultimately what happens in the presidential race.
US senate races like the what we have here with -- -- the other big thing is I think.
If you were to fix who remove the concern over obamacare I believe this decision -- health care should be made by families.
By employers to individuals at the local level not by the federal government not even -- -- by the state government I think that would be helpful I think they got to rein in.
The EPA which is out of control for a lot of small this -- I think they generate and Department of Labor which I think puts up unnecessary barriers out there.
Those are things that they have no cost at the I think I would do if I was in a position at the national level is due more to put more money back in the hands of consumers and --
