88 scale let's get more insight on -- president's economic plan it.

There is anything new to -- point probably not even talking to the editor at CQ roll call so -- governor Romney.

He didn't say that the president doesn't have a -- in the accusing of not having a plan to revive the economy.

I know we can't accuse him of not having a plan I think that's -- that's a bit of an overstatement I think as as your report just said this is.

This is old old wine in new models or old old ideas -- on glossy paper.

We saw almost the same thing those of us who covered the conventions -- on.

On release in newsprint tonight and leave them out of the acceptance speech when it was handed out it was a very similar document -- what the president's.

Been talking about it is however.

Probably not really the plan I don't think I think that that.

-- a lot of this has been looked at -- rejected by congress.

And if he is reelected it will be refined significantly in preparations for the -- the so called fiscal cliff talks which will be put off until next year.

Is it interesting to you that pamphlets only being sent around to the nine.

Key swing states.

Well -- -- there's a limit to how of how fast the press has -- run and what what that as a signal of to me is.

And it's incredible for those of us like you and me Lori -- been thinking about the selection.

For eighteen months two years now.

It's that -- is that there are probably a couple 100000 people these are the undecideds if you're undecided in this race.

It probably means you haven't -- -- yet and there are people who are waiting to the last two weeks to tune in and presumably the Obama campaign thinks.

Getting this on their doorstep with less than two weeks ago is -- -- be just the right time for -- for their -- for their moment to focus people's attention.

And we've known David tier point for all of those months that the key driver for the -- debater for voters right is.

The if that changing at all.

I mean does the pamphlet did did the last debate to the foreign policy comments that the crisis unfolding in -- scandal with bank got these and you that influencing voters.

It -- and tiny bit of the margins it seems to be you know moving one point here one point there.

One a couple of points in Nevada may be which we now think it's sort of trending out of that off patent list of nine and into the president's com.

Maybe a little bit move the other way North Carolina which we think is trending.

Out of Obama's out of the toss -- column into the Romney column.

But that really not much I would say if any thing in the says this is -- -- -- -- -- -- you probably had this on the -- last couple days.

It was that discussion in the last debate about the auto bail out that is really what's important the president the president's line about.

Detroit is alive -- the auto industry is alive and bin Laden is dead he's hoping that resonates in -- -- in one state which is Ohio whoever wins Ohio.

It's gonna have a hard time losing the election.

I catch a -- David without asking you think's gonna -- as you know Rasmussen they're all neck and neck are tied up.

I think it is it's it's it's a national deadlock -- all the polls show I think if you play the -- Electoral College map game.

It and I.

It is you have to give the edge to the president if the election were held now he would probably carry just enough for the states to get just over the 270.

Magic number of electoral votes okay thanks --
