So I do get to the bottom line in this sunshine state why -- son named spreading.
To the Obama campaign.
DD Becky says because it's -- -- stupid.
And -- Republican strategist doesn't concern crosses state boundaries I guess it does.
But.
This is remarkable because this early of the campaign for the president to be spending to the degree he has unopposed by the way going up to the convention.
Marketable.
-- -- -- desperate you know it's starting the tide has turned and I believe.
The Paul Ryan is the catalyst for that because you know we've talked before about how Mitt Romney.
It's a rabbit out -- get excited and in due may be a little better job about moving the troops that you know what.
For whatever reason he picked exactly the right vice presidential candidate.
And Ryan and get some revved up so the Romney Ryan take it is now hot ticket for the first time in history the Republicans -- have the hot ticket since you're in Florida will say that an actually I think Florida in the midwest and the two hottest places.
That we're gonna find for the campaigns isn't going to be wanna watch me out in Florida and in the midwest -- -- right now which is going to be mostly red states this time around.
You mentioned Wisconsin we're gonna win Wisconsin -- of course gonna win Indiana Ohio looks good -- guess what else today a poll came out.
And where even winning Michigan so this is good -- isn't the midwest looks great for red states.
-- -- -- early as you often remind me and the fact of the matter is both candidates still have a lot of money including -- president.
But is obviously it is candidate is obviously willing to spend more that it takes in.
To get the deal the odds of I could flip it around and -- if -- a Republican looking at all of this.
The president's farms and big guns right now setting the stage to embarrass me in my moment on the stage next week.
I I should be alarmed not satisfied segment.
Absolutely and because he is spending more money than he's bringing again that is not a good sign the on I think what it is -- the businesses.
Council about businesses they are over this we have a terrible economy things are not looking up trillions of dollars and that.
The unemployment will not come down so businesses alike we've had a -- and we're really gonna double down we're gonna help Mitt Romney and now that we have Paul Ryan.
It's coming together in the mid last night isn't just excited about it because I'm here and -- -- wanna join you in Florida and we're gonna have a great convention.
And it just show that Mitt Romney is a business guy heat he's used to having a balance sheet in he's used to having more money and then spending.
-- is exactly opposite of what -- Obama has done for the last four years so we know what we're gonna get with hammer gonna get debt.
And Morgan get a failing economy and not only see doing what the government is doing -- with the campaign so we know what he's all about it.
What do sellers well -- an -- and approval of a lot of shock get out of debt of the president's budget.
I would be curious -- this in all seriousness.
Obviously and as the does this guy here aren't always -- where then provide best -- by muddy and resources to turn the tide order you'd -- Mitt Romney greets the dot -- comes down to these swing states what's interesting about those Wisconsin and indeed.
Mission to -- you allude to is a little more than a couple of days ago they look like safe democratic states even with the Paul Ryan Beck.
In Wisconsin now the president has to take that money's been spent.
And money that he wasn't going to really put to work and in in Wisconsin and it's because -- that do they beginnings if they're not -- he's got -- spread the wealth a little more.
Swiftly.
-- a lag in reporting meal for for polls and for the results I really do think that Paul Ryan has made a big difference in the midwest.
You know as midwesterners relates the mid westerners and Paul Ryan is very much that way and I do think that is a huge help.
And in Wisconsin we're going to win that state that is -- tremendous along -- Michigan and and that helps with -- Ohio and mean but doesn't Iran that say please alright stay in Ohio and never leave except maybe to make an appearance at the convention.
And I will tell you this what I think that Obama's spending money on is moving bodies because that was this what he's -- that he's granite community organizing.
And that's how being right here in Indianapolis Indiana.
I will tell you if you remember the last map they show than Indiana nobody thought Indiana return -- and I -- still suspect the dead.
But there was one saline.
They moved its time people over from Chicago and they barely won so they are very good at moving -- so I think that's where they're spending the money is moving bodies wherever they need them because they don't need them and Chicago but they do need them in Wisconsin -- do need them in Michigan in Disney's snow piled it's gonna be -- artist who Canada's time.
You -- and it's all about where they've where they put that.
DD thank you good had been having -- again thanks new policy in Florida say in early the next we get there tomorrow.
