-- -- our next guest Romney will win in a landslide.

Former record our advisor art Laffer in Nashville.

-- out what -- what I crystal ball are you using.

-- just economics to be honest with the.

I mean when I asked myself the question I mean in -- who would -- President Obama better than they did four years ago there are a lot of groups Charles the real like President Obama.

But I don't think they like him any more today than they did four years ago fact a little -- so.

You're gonna get lower turnout than those groups you're gonna get some of the -- switching from Obama to Romney and you're gonna get a lot higher turnout amongst the Romney supporters because.

You know everyone likes Obama less than they did four years ago and he didn't win by that much and when you go through this on an economic space that there -- number of other studies that show exactly what I'm saying is that with the economy as it is with -- would suffer it.

But aren't you I gotta tell you you know it's one thing that Sam gonna go through this on economic basis is another thing to go through this and say.

You know you talk about people liking the president you know you look at the unemployment up -- 44 states last month I mean that's an amazing spike but.

Also thicken -- more -- states look at the -- states with unemployment Rhode Island.

California New Jersey look at New York look at these gigantic states -- a whole lot of elect oral boats.

They're never gonna swing to Republican no matter how bad the economy is in no matter how bad they bill that the president may have let them down.

You know my involved -- is Charles you should never say never.

Because sometimes these states once upon a time California was Republican can you believe that.

Yeah Rockefeller came from New York I -- but seriously you know all it does is takes -- a growth period Reagan won New York.

I mean in the 84 Reagan won New York well and and only lost Minnesota thank goodness right because.

Italy it was just -- we want -- hate Minnesota.

Art -- -- -- I just yet listen at this I can't.

How Laurie -- good morning happy Monday at this point -- Does it matter what happens to you -- we will only got a couple more months going here so at this point given the when they up their minds.

Yes -- the I don't know that know people -- not made up their minds they have not done that but the economy is made up its mind.

But it's not going to be any better Election Day than it is today are -- -- the economy of Election Day people will now start focusing on the election.

And I think maybe 45% of the population now focus of the last three weeks.

You're gonna see it all come in and Romney has a huge amount of money and ads for the last three -- four -- to remind people just how well off they are.

Are they are.

Today you know -- I'm unfamiliar with the term -- the economy stupid then.

We've got less than ninety days -- we've gotten less than ninety days -- out of your right now but art you're right a lot more -- wrong we appreciate your time this morning.

But thank -- -- about Charles thanks a lot -- when did what.
