Are gonna go to break guys but I know senator Portman does have to leader quickly he's the man in demand tears I do want to get did before we do go to break Rob Portman of course these.
Ohio senator was on -- very short list not sort enough due later said.
For vice president but senator Portman helps.
Mitt Romney up for this debate by going the -- Barack Obama right.
I did if I reprisal -- did it.
Four years ago that you're pretty good that -- I don't -- you know I think I know you evidence it look a bias that's more than fine.
Deed.
You advise Mitt Romney to be as much in the president's -- -- as direct.
But as he was.
This and he did a terrific job tonight he was himself you know I didn't advise them to do.
One or the other you know he is what you saw on the stage tonight you know he's -- he's articulating -- And this is different Mitt Romney and so tonight -- senator I know you're a numbers guy but I it every time.
Who ruled governor Romney would counter he -- something I know -- stand up yet cite a series of things 123.
First -- sectors are very uncomfortable ride and -- but was that something that was discussed we're gonna go we're gonna -- every charge.
With a variety account -- points not an obnoxious way but almost in a lawyer -- -- Yeah look I think he prosecuted the case it's a good way to put it.
Not just about the last four years and how bad things are.
But also but what the next four years would look like if Barack -- -- -- and that's what the undecided voter Ohio is looking for OK you know what's gonna happen over the next four years.
Now that he did a brilliant job tonight he laid it out he laid out the case again not just what's wrong what can be right what -- can't afford another four years of the past four years.
And why instead he's got a better -- -- -- -- tax reform is a classic example that finally he get the chance outside of the media filter.
To say what his plans all about and so it's easy for President Obama the Democrats to run 32 at 62 TV ads.
Saying you know this is what the Romney plan is but it's inaccurate so he gets a chance tonight to say no that's I'm I plan that's -- play and you want to run against here's.
Well if -- -- -- great job tide on -- growth of -- and there was some cosmetic things I noticed.
Always looking at the president yep and the reason why remember today it's it's unusual when you tax meant I have always known as the debates so that you don't even look at the guy dog and and in presidential debates the Carter was famous for not look at sport and -- -- toward not looking back to court -- -- desist.
It was that you eat you guys are in the same remember -- that yes thirty minute -- a lot of power outage and the 200 mark their respective stands admitted -- knowledge and yet we -- for years go to the -- you do you're right about that -- Was that I designed that you guys say you've got to look at the president he's that we we think he's dead skin we teach you could rattle -- -- what was.
There's a natural thing to do -- you're actually right and you know it's what Mitt Romney wanted to do but -- not done -- of the degree he did tonight and the -- well not unless I missed it and I think he just did what came natural -- -- and a and I think he did a terrific job we look to the camera.
When he's talking directly American people.
But for the most part yes when he was talking to present Obama he showed him the respect that publicly yet -- and look.
This is what you've done over the last four years this is why it hasn't worked.
As a way to look enemy now I've got -- I've done getting -- turnaround.
It seemed to rattle the president's -- because you know he's not had.
This he seemed to become more years to cement handle it when someone is challenge junior the grand nobody the president.
It is an adjustment.
Even when Jim -- You know -- confided in BC not enough support died in an attempt by the second half.
Governor -- and thank you -- that very very much senator but I you know -- Saturday sent out in it is then that definitely a promotion I'd say but don't let it thank you thank.
