-- thanks for being with us OK there's it is a pretty good expectation for this 10 PM you know rob -- -- First we have Mitt Romney's wife and what do we need to hear from her.
Well you know this'll be the first -- that they've heard from in Romney on the national stage like this -- -- they're looking to see different side of men on the difference -- the governor and I think that she will show that tonight she's gonna talk a lot about him in the human cited him -- that in the American public doesn't always good to see on the campaign -- I think that's really important.
As people try to connect with him and these last few weeks of the campaign.
So is it does it help his standing if we hear that she you know she buys -- shirts from Costco and the guy actually knows how to iron.
Does not act -- -- do we not care do we need to get to the issues.
You know the American public it does matter because they often and so it hitting really kind of want to have a veer away at -- -- -- hang out wet and felt like ability.
Is something that is.
As concern for most campaigns you wanna candidate that can connect that can connect TV every day per -- Without they're struggling trying to find a way to pay bills trying to find where their next dollars gonna come from.
Yeah it's a fine line though between like trying too hard to make him a man of the people and being truly honest right.
What yeah I you gotta be real and I and I think that you know we're gonna hear that -- and tonight I think she's gonna talk a lot about how he was there.
I'm for her when she was going to hear her illness we heard that are earlier this week and on FOX News Sunday how she talked about that I think that's a different element that only she can talk about and no one else can that's not about Chris Christie 'cause I'm already hyping up this big speech it RA and I'm in Lebanon -- -- -- -- I think if anybody could energize.
Base it's -- Yeah actually -- I think tonight you're gonna see the electricity in the crowd they are going to be excited to seeing and and he now he's gonna deliver in a way that is gonna get this crowd really -- art -- -- to -- He has come out though and and may be made some comments that no one wants to hear it one of them being of course he didn't wanna be on the ticket because he didn't think Mitt Romney could -- Is that gonna hurt -- the tone tonight.
I I don't think it will hurt the town tonight not and I think you know he's behind the ticket she's gonna push for a he's out there on the campaign trial.
You know every you know every time he -- -- out there stumping for the president's I don't see that being a problem at all.
And and quickly.
South Carolina governor Nikki -- -- expected to be couldn't quite -- quite a moment as well what do you expecting to hear from harm.
I think folks are looking at her as someone huge defied -- minds this past election cycle there are a lot of people who got behind her.
And really felt that she represented the party into the strong woman representing the party and I think you will see some excitement around that as well tonight in her and her stance says I -- -- Her and Governor Christie have been very hard.
-- and -- the core policy issues that you know Republicans care about that Americans care about that the economy jobs and government spending.
Before I let you go out the vibe down there was blown off at all because of the hurricane and has anything.
Do you still feel the energy that the GOP is welcome for.
Yet he still building energy that the GOP is looking were definitely people here are psyched they're happy to be here they're happening at this convention rolling in they're happy -- Really presented the American public what they believe should be the vision for the future and what the real issue should be that we should be debating -- I'm debating over the course of the next four years to get this nation on the right track.
-- and have a good time down there I for -- them look empowered to the old 10 PM Beagle Governor -- speech Gretchen have and.
