I think we're seeing something good in the -- in this election.

Maybe I'm grasping at straws but there is a trend it's new and it's positive and defined is conventional wisdom.

Here's my take on negative political ads are.

Conventional wisdom is that they -- -- say something nasty about your opponent and the -- steaks you win.

Is that happening in this election.

Maybe not.

Just look at lose that we've touched these disgraceful cancer -- when Democrats link the woman's cancer death in Mitt Romney.

Then there's granny off a cliff -- to the Democrats asked me to run the new bush and I refuse and please let's not forget Joseph Biden's racial chains remark.

As we've said many times this is poisoning our politics but hold -- -- -- Is the positive side.

The poison didn't woke.

May be a backlash is emerging.

The Arabs and the comments have not convince people that Romney and Ryan a bad guys that not pages and they don't wake up in the morning trying to figure out how to hook people as a New York times' columnists suggest.

About -- to make the demonization.

Stake has had two results for us the president has not received a real bump in the polls he spent a ton of money.

And it's brought him nothing.

Second polls this week show a very modest move all for the Romney Ryan ticket now this is good news for one good reason.

Full once going negative.

Didn't really book the -- was so offensive it didn't stick in fact it backfired it didn't mean that the presidency.

That's my take.

Quick reaction.

I'm -- -- of the negativity out of focus on the issues it's it's your it's just pushing your face all over the news and didn't look I think the -- -- there's a backlash to it was so extreme so ridiculous and so offensive.

The people pushed back on it -- -- complete.

-- 1000%.

This I just want you to tell me how you're gonna make my life better don't tell me about how the other -- so awful coming out how great you are -- that's like things to be -- to -- I think was like -- -- -- -- or anything a bicycle to argue the best I'm trying to be positive job so okay I'm doing my best.

Hello helping -- appreciate -- Both both.
