-- -- and seeing the 27 year age difference between the two candidates it looked to me a little bit like a folly yelling and itself.

Will that tell young people off joining me now is Jason terror you know is all about the youth vote he is also all Obama zombies just crack thank you -- Who normally are important -- you -- -- -- that's on.

I'll take the peace process itself and its allies and -- -- young people communicate is that.

So who won the youth vote last night you watch the debate on -- you -- one of them that you thought.

Sure I think Paul Ryan.

Ultimately did although I don't really think -- -- vice presidential debates gonna make a difference what Joseph Biden needed to do is the pendulum swinging his direction because.

After the first presidential debate.

Barack Obama actually lost seven points among younger voters and Mitt Romney astonishingly gained ten points -- right now believe it.

Over Mitt Romney amongst younger voters is only fifteen point which is sales in comparison.

What it was this time around long enough that we years ago there's this 27 year age gap last night Paul Ryan is 27 years young if anybody is the youth vote surely -- poll Ryan.

But did he win -- youth vote -- vote with his performance did Joseph Biden loses.

I think Joseph Biden you have to look at as losing it because he came across across this.

Crazy at an angry at me he was still hysterical up point to look like -- was ticket durable stuff in his forehead that was trying to get out.

And young people look at at Paul Ryan and -- -- person's very calm whose collective who could have been more aggressive absolutely.

But it seems more relatable likable trustworthy had the command of of of the facts and and not for nothing had some pretty pointed one -- but -- what what ultimately.

Would help with is gonna -- -- Orion is not necessarily the debate performance but those time magazine photos of him -- the pipes really and his work -- routine.

Absolutely.

And so those he's sitting on a bed his bull run it is all right -- -- whites in his hand is doing this kind of stuff I.

I I think correct me if I'm wrong what they'll be a lot of college aged women will look at that and elect I don't care Paul Ryan says he's gonna blow the moon -- the vote for him because those -- its history college.

How all.

Now you don't -- -- -- way to -- -- -- votes that I allegedly holding.

That he also when he we talked about our men in in the in women in the line of duty his best friend.

Is survey so it's a contemporary person not a sign not somebody met five year somebody he knows -- -- his best friend is actually serving an Afghan.

I wanna go back to the pumps code photograph -- OK well he's on the bench and this is Paul Ryan is doing this with the weights.

-- -- Tellme that young people women vote in favor of a man because I think I would strengthening.

Pumping my weight saying that's it doesn't -- earnings and -- -- it doesn't help because look we live in a visual society this is all about television is all about presentation.

We haven't talked about the substance of what they talked about last night it is all of been held a bit about how Biden was a manic insane person and how poll out Ryan was put what -- what is the on the substance of Obama's campaign for young people with abortion rights that's it that's all you all I -- -- -- -- -- free birth control for all women all the time but if you look at it actually got tuition prices are much higher the unemployment rate doubled amongst young people Paul Ryan looked physically in these physically fit.

He looked up mentally fit -- Joseph Biden just came across says that that crazy uncle grandfather at Thanksgiving -- sitting down on the La-Z-Boy chair asking you to -- -- And -- Own.

Paul Ryan is just not that Obama has a lot of ground to make up with with younger voters after his first debate performance and I just don't think.

That Joseph Biden helped swing the pendulum pendulum back in in in his in in that direction he may have excited the base but at the expense of appealing to everyone else.

-- -- -- poll again I have -- was taken between October the fourth and October the seventh as the youth vote poll.

And that shows a sixteen point.

Margin.

In favor President Obama that -- -- eighteen to 29 okay now about sixteen points that's a big gap but nowhere near.

The extent of Obama's victory in young amongst young people back in 2000 nowhere.

Where they won by 34 point -- among the people 34 and a young people actually that consisted of one of the main coalition won an -- listen to help Bob Barack Obama through key swing states.

So even if if Mitt Romney loses by ten or fifteen percentage points.

That's ten or fifteen percentage points that Barack Obama does not have which he needs -- which is going to be very -- quit and our young people gonna go to the -- exactly what they -- will they vote we'll elect not to the same degree because as of very large enthusiasm gap in fact it looks like the Obama administration is he even imploding amongst their celebrities.

You will -- -- -- campaigning what Barack Obama Ohio.

Who's singing renditions of on Sesame Street songs.

One he willingly -- so will Miami.

I -- -- -- and well I -- my Black Eyed Peas yes we.

Of course isn't the answer daughter.

A paternity index giving many paragraph so will I haven't -- -- -- -- it's interesting because Obama is really freaking out about the youth vote and when you look at his campaign schedule.

Almost every rally takes place on a college campus.

He's not really going intent was apparently -- in Ohio and so on what's friendly audience but he's got to rally the kids or he loses.

I'm at a time adjustment -- thanks very much for joining us as always we thank you sir.
