Second on the hill about a -- editor.
-- viewers about the democratic position underdogs he articulated no way no other speaker did tonight.
Absolutely I mean I think it's it's an amazing speech.
-- this trying to relate to people that Barack Obama can relate and of course it's a subtle dig.
Maybe not so subtle and it -- he doesn't understand -- ordinary problems of everyday Americans.
Did that obviously -- with a crowd here but it's always unfair to compare.
You know the -- speeches.
But it -- Romney against.
Michelle Obama.
Attend like to see them both money gets you to the may be more -- secret itself I think other -- more popular than their odds and that's exactly.
I think Michelle Obama clearly she's had to practiced doing is he's been on the road.
I think this was I think that this this speech at the conventions so far at least com.
It does remind you does it not dead.
She is a powerful wars on behalf of this ticket.
Not that he needs more humanizing he's a likable guys are experts say Pepsi did this make -- more -- absolutely and I think he's gonna make the case.
-- he cares about your problems and Republicans are saying look at the results.
Peter Barnes -- somewhere -- that.
-- humanity.
Joseph Biden did up there.
So what goes got a tough act to follow on Thursday.
Bill limits itself like the boulevard of the -- I would agree -- the First Lady absolutely delivering here on every note.
That she would -- expected to deliver on here talking.
A very much about the families personal first family's personal history.
But also I thought very definitely tying it back to public policy with personal stories advocated for Health Care Reform for example because of -- -- health problems.
-- that the family in the past and had advocated for Britain help on student loans for Iraq college students because.
She and the president both struggled.
But with with student loans itself I think that leg I would agree that -- yet.
-- Delivered a 100% on what you're supposed to do and I'm Tanya.
This crowd is still hang around the back here on on dollar weakening as it just got it takes -- takes at all in.
You know Bob obvious.
Does sets they are look at all the good this spending does look at what it's done for me and my husband right.
Doesn't negate the fact that a lot of that money gets wasted a lot of it.
I think in the end knelt now and and I think even though the speech was was very very impressive.
But what we're gonna remember.
Years -- now -- and it -- -- is is Obama's speech on Thursday and that's going to be difficult but.
-- -- making the case government helps people that you may -- forcefully tonight.
Does it.
Also mattered that she could see your husband terms on every day struggles of everyday people.
And detained without saying so Mitt Romney has he's the rich -- the -- -- he's the guy who opposes everything we're doing for you guys.
Absolutely when Quinn when they crafted this speech and this is a carefully crafted speech there's certainly thinking -- Mitt Romney they're putting in.
Kind of code words could have on not only think about the president but -- -- -- -- thing about Mitt Romney very very effective and of course she knows how to play the camera very well.
Vera I'm telling him for years grown mightily in our own right without that without at a club music thank you for -- --
