I was speaking the volatility very surprising new poll from pull up you researchers showed a big swing in a poll among women voters -- they've right now it's tied according to -- President Obama.

Was up though 18% or eighteen points.

Before the debate joining us now is -- didn't -- of the weekly standard.

You know I gotta tell you this is.

Again what I initially saw these numbers I I was I was just shocked that even though it's conceivable.

What's going on how could women change their minds so dramatically.

You know give the polish shocking isn't I -- kind of indicated I wrote up a piece just before the Democratic National Convention.

And this is when they -- making the Republican war on women the centerpiece.

Of their campaign strategy you know U member they -- You know most.

It looked like a -- -- speakers to the convention all women.

They made it a focus of the campaign and founded a little insulting really mean.

Yeah I see -- that you know for example that women couldn't figure out how to get birth control if the government and provided.

I felt then and I think I've been proved right that women -- true.

From a cynical ploy to get their votes by being bought in inner most cynical way really I.

I think that I thought it was just a matter time before backfired on them I think that's what we're seeing now all the.

Well you know what I'm not sure that that was big eureka moment with respect to the debates I -- to tell you for me what I thought resonated a lot the very last images that I saw.

When I saw Riley's family come on that stage it was such an amazing warm period in all of -- kids they were graces of the president it seemed like you know what.

-- this -- what America used to be you know all about the family.

I don't know I think to me out of it's something visual and and then people in general resonate to and I'm certainly thinking maybe women did as well.

I think -- -- I -- even look at the debate.

-- -- obviously performed much better than Obama.

But there -- I don't think a moment that you could look at that here's the point where -- convince women but something you know I'd like to remind people were also surprised by these numbers but.

And -- -- didn't really used to exist in the way it does now.

Reagan.

Women voted for Reagan more than they did are harder infer Kelly first Michael -- bush I'll.

Tally totaled 12 I've got breaker is we're gonna come right back to you but I breaking news right now.

Jerry send us he has been sentenced the thirty to sixty years in prison following his sex abuse convictions that is thirty.

To sixty years for Jerry sandusky.

I think you can also argue that the 47%.

Thing is a new phenomenon -- -- like a new phenomenon and here's the thing.

I think the Democrats have been very aggressive with respect to creating victims.

But that's -- -- -- in this country.

Saying -- your part of the victim class hide behind us we've got your back to paraphrase -- something -- heard a lot at the Democratic Convention.

Well Charles -- exactly how the Democrats have have really is that that's their campaign strategy for the last number of years.

Is to create special interest groups and then target them.

Clinton was actually the first president -- recent years that we saw that didn't win over women voters more than mail.

The first and George H.

W.

Bush is his first campaign he got more women voters break ended it's really a new thing and I think you've.

You really touched on -- there is that Democrats have gone after certain groups by trying to.

Create the idea that they are victims that need help I think you -- finally women are starting to realize -- wait a minute I'm not a victim here.

I write I have the same concerns says as men do when that which which candidates looking at those -- gonna do more about them.

And I tell me about it I think we're all -- equally impacted by gas card milk prices tires does school prices that senator etc.

are what's what's topics though.

Hollywood hypocrites now we constantly hear from them about the rich paying more in taxes but.

You know those same people and those who deals they always want tax cuts for things like film production -- film location today.

This Hollywood hypocrisy it doesn't get enough ink in my mind -- -- play what do you think he.

It's funny I GAAP ice I spend a bit of time an el Azteca -- -- that this weekend movie critic in my spent time.

And when I -- -- it's funny because I mention I work for political magazine and everyone says oh I don't I'm sorry I don't read that kind of thing -- really maybe they should start and start doing so because.

It's funny that -- argument they're using.

For the tax credit is -- -- -- to attract jobs here -- jobs are leaving elsewhere.

But for some reason they forget that argument when it comes to.

So the saying people that are -- wanting this tax credit that Jerry Brown just extended for two years.

Are the same people -- supporting I've raised in this -- tax.

And -- the top marginal tax rate you know you might you might think they could connect the dots and thank KF.

If production is leaving because tax rates are more attractive elsewhere what about other industries maybe they're having the same problem.

You would think Kelly Jane -- thanks a lot we appreciate it --
