Out of the goddess of puts on this -- so William Harris is the currency presidency out.
And yes to give everybody -- happy here -- this room might have wanted to substantially -- And no I'm not talking about the people up in this corner.
I -- talking about -- -- behind me that will be filled with a lot of big adjusted -- thank you very much a government happy to be here how are things looking thus far -- delayed notwithstanding the.
Like not withstanding everything looks very well you know we were I think the campuses we -- -- take in the Tampa Convention Center in.
The -- of a -- -- altogether -- -- we're rated ago.
Liked to have gone -- Monday that didn't happen so will go on Tuesday we will have a great show.
In a way he could work to your -- it's it's it's is zone faster right I mean you get the vote did you go -- the nomination.
One big speaker at another you could captivate people's attention a lot but.
What are you gonna do with people steals.
-- a sorts or they haven't gotten enough attention or there is she didn't get enough attention what do you do that.
Well first well you know -- we -- -- anybody that was in -- Saturday or Sunday primarily that they were here a lot of the this went around the schedules you know you have a great event at a Tropicana Field host committee put on.
There are a lot of events today -- spoke -- several of around town there's -- still unknown so lot of people already participating in the process and the people left up to looking forward.
Do come in the hall tomorrow I think the -- I -- Rick Santorum is up there right now.
Presumably speaking Rawls.
He is they're division I mean this is sharply divided race.
And you know he got very nasty evident Romney Mitt Romney back within.
Let's all that behind the party -- -- I think all that's behind.
On the party now I think there -- you know you had people they obviously want to be the nominating all laden didn't make it Mitt Romney did and I think the parties now united behind Mitt Romney -- that what we have to do.
There's a -- -- when the White House and defeat to incumbent it's.
Is generally not fair but you always hear win this argument that.
We light to Mitt Romney we don't love Mitt Romney and other words these.
He sort of playing the the role I did as as a backup tape for women and high school at the prompt.
I was like the safe tourist but I wasn't the first choice.
That's not -- lie about it what but but do you get a sense of that here that Paul Ryan electrified the ticket.
And -- admired as a governor great deal but he's still isn't allowing it does he have to -- on Thursday night.
We know this is the great value this convention to -- to the extent that anybody thinks that and I don't like that a lot of people do the convention gives Mitt Romney an opportunity to share his passion his vision for the America with American people and with the Republican Party.
And I think that's a great opportunity for him and I don't think they'll have that opinion when they.
Finish watching this convention deal get.
The concern that the Democrats need only next -- there's not much time for the dust to settle and the -- presumably that the nominee will get.
Posts this convention before you're into another -- -- and it's and it's a wash -- both conventions and they're both back to where they were and are now.
Well a look at another way it you know like to say I would like everybody to watch our convention unlikely everybody who watched the regret convention now -- can't do what they decide if they'll watch -- Obviously as the lesser known that is the lesser -- national figures it's Mitt Romney to gain and the others.
By comparisons.
To -- do you buy that view that it's going to be very hard for the president to do better -- he's doing that it's Mitt Romney's to gain.
I think that you have a country that is -- it's obviously slid in the last election.
I think it's a closely divided country now in I think these conventions actually show the provide a valuable.
Purpose in -- -- the American people I think a lot of people are gonna make up their -- -- both of these convictions about who they're gonna vote for.
Art Laffer was telling me landslide -- what do you think -- -- I'll be happy with a landslide -- the -- have you had any win right there's an idea I think it's critical that we were in the select OK thank you women are -- to guide charge of this big -- -- -- -- --
