Story back to the Democratic National Convention.

Bill Clinton's speech last night making all the headlines this morning boss -- end up overshadowing President Obama Joseph Tripoli from.

-- & Associates joins us now from Charlotte.

Joseph I if I have to guess.

I would say that if there was a free vote held in that convention -- last night.

Between President Obama and former President Bill Clinton those delegates would vote for four more years of Bill Clinton -- -- right.

I think they would have voted for four more years of democratic progressive policies.

On the on the economic front -- eight.

Though the one thing I think that Bill Clinton had.

I think in terms of not just in the room but across the nation on television last night is the credibility of being the last president I think most Americans would say.

You know Marshall this -- from a recession into a booming recovery in a booming.

Job creation market Ronald Reagan did it too -- bill -- -- -- still here -- was able talk the country be an arbiter.

Between Romney and Obama and say look stick with Obama I've been there I know how hard it is he he's turning it around it -- -- -- -- -- -- credibility -- bet it was.

Was a plea for time.

If he -- saying that look Wear off what are often running but we haven't succeeded yes we need four more years.

Do you think right and it's 31 -- -- hit is a question about the enthusiasm -- -- do you really feel that the people out that away from the convention -- are they jumping up and down demanding we want four more years all this often.

No know what they what they're looking for is who has -- -- that's gonna succeed in units moving forward.

I think look one of the reasons we're in a dead heat right now between Romney in Obama is.

-- of Romney in particular hasn't really put some specifics out there and they're not sure did in the past performance of Obama.

Whether he can do do that Clinton said look -- I was there I've been there I know how hard it is.

People didn't you you know we were slow to -- -- the -- 96 it started to take.

Waiting did this man time I know he's on the right -- the Romney policies won't work we've done them before I I think you know that's it that's the decision but voters are gonna happening yeah Hariri.

-- got 22 quick points that you get your comment if I would grow fast number -- I think Bill Clinton's speech started very very light a -- past 10:30 eastern time.

You -- you really be picked up on the West Coast and you 41 on the West Coast for heaven's sake.

A number to adapt brewing of god and Jerusalem and that chaos on the flaw.

That's gonna dominate especially Jewish voters I think to some degree Bill Clinton overshadow.

What -- of one I think bill that the speech was fifteen minutes long it went way past a lot of people's.

Got to get the -- to get ready for work time so I think that that a lot of people miss some of that speech.

Great year -- right looked at the whole god.

The foxhole with a self inflicted wound that in addition to happen it.

Those kinds of things normally they capital -- platform committees but there's the their fixed weight before you get to the convention and get to the convention record -- that vote on it.

-- first the first time have voice vote happen bang bang the gavel in say it passed and get on -- that don't do it three times so.

It looked yeah it was and if that's that's -- that's gonna show up.

Repeatedly between now and November -- -- -- you one of the political stars that we've lined up from -- -- this morning and we do hope you'll -- is again soon thank you Joseph.

Absolutely thank you.
