Or continuous Rudy Giuliani is variously as spending elects Thomas tonight -- it's campaign throne you're going to be with Mitt Romney tomorrow in Cincinnati right.
Ohio has everything -- as is evident.
I think that's probably true I mean it we we may find out after we were wrong but it seems to me Ohio is -- Florida was in 2001.
Ohio -- in 2004.
-- Ohio decided.
The election for George Bush in 2004.
So I think Ohio -- about that -- Bush lost a lot of you would have won the popular vote by velocity very movement and had yeah Electoral College now.
But all the polls I see -- Show a tight to always a wire 231.
Of them has fight publicly run a -- out for the president.
Well I mean.
That's within the margin of being able to do something about it in the last in the last doesn't trouble you that they were always like -- -- like seem the other way right at night and the reality is our remember.
In eighty.
We can before the election it was virtually tied it was a 5050 election.
Carter Reagan -- Reagan won -- 8989.
Points.
On -- on Election Day 2004 I know I was in this very studio with an exit poll that was shown to me with -- that you -- he was he was -- about six point -- Herrera senate president -- yeah I -- it was like I was his latest 7 o'clock at night now I can remember this Italian prosecutor.
Effect and was down twenty points in the polls and had no chance that you haven't yet there.
I don't know exactly right -- -- Is -- your sense that do what defines this ultimately is the economy because you know -- about it ministers of the saying.
The trend -- -- -- things are better than -- great but they're better.
That will since -- Americans are feeling better consumer confidence numbers are better housing looks a little better and do you have -- four years to make it even better.
Let's say my instinct my instinct is that the economy is played itself out.
None of the words that let's say it's 4746.
They they've made their decision based on the economy.
That group of people that -- yet undecided which is hard to figure out why Adam Brett incredible but that is that they've had plenty of information about the economy to make up their minds.
So something like this -- thing could could could flip it.
So well I don't know what's gonna make up the minds of this last group and a lot of things stay home.
And a lot of until at the last minute on our excited stay well that that's and I -- issue comes in the playwright whose supporters and there are more rapid.
To come out.
I don't think either supportive or more rabbit I think the most since the most emotion here is the -- people who don't want four more years of brothel of Barack Obama.
And I think that that -- purpose of these rallies by Mitt Romney I guess by the president is to get those people very very motivated.
But some of the biggest motivation in this election is my goodness let's not have four more years like the last four years.
Now you -- Mitt Romney.
And Europe.
What is he had to do.
I think I think he has to remain positive -- who what he has been doing that you got wanted to -- been -- attack on public of the people who really not you know I would I would not.
Well good as he's done a pathetic all right over the last -- these candidates the -- whether we should under way to -- are not some real debate you know was we from now.
The reality is right now.
Weekend before the election.
Not gonna help to be -- either one either candidate to be terribly negative if he's a big guys over what the future is what they wanna do how they gonna change things.
Leave it to.
Leave it to the surrogate symptom and to make the attacks.

Incredible disaster.
You -- you know better than it not that's not that's -- -- sent a signal that American capitalism can't handle store.
I don't know why I'm not I'm not I don't know what the but our problem after September 11 wasn't put you out of power and actually Dick Grasso headed ready to go.
On -- on Thursday right.
And we decided to wait only because we weren't sure some of the some of the trading firms will be able to communicate.
We took we took two more days off just to be safe -- -- really wanted to -- on Thursday and then we finally did on Monday it was a great -- Man that was a great uplift it was a -- spirit of the starts tanked.
And we but we were really worried that something go wrong.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And then would go down after an -- I don't know I don't know what the condition.
Of the source of electrical power to the it to the exchange -- how badly damaged was how badly damaged the firms with a communicating with a -- with.
-- my view on this they're not that it matters is.
Is -- that big -- deal of the new get a better price on IBM happened -- provides -- the united I don't know operatives yeah.
About I don't know what the technological problems they have what why would take.
Why would take two days a moment hadn't got flood middlemen have lost power upper Manhattan didn't so that that -- -- part of the problem.
You know -- after the election is Rudy Giuliani -- -- -- -- since security firm looking serious security consulting firm traveled the world giving advice attorney general on security I've -- a Romney and Minnesota that are related to national represented an energy clients.
There's another reason I'd like to see.
I'd like to see.
Mitt Romney elected so that we get some of these energy projects moving again again using artfully -- his attorney general Clinton does better just say I don't want -- -- any credit at all that.
If we don't wondering.
If you're wondering why it's taken so long to turn that country back on again.
It's because this president for four years has basically said no to any kind of energy expansion including energy officials and maybe energy secretary he'd be open to that.
-- attorney general yes and I am not let's check at a very happy with the with the two million your range of roles that I have my -- and -- -- Giuliani and right Giuliani -- All right very good Citi minute thank you for taking -- a thank you -- whisked to a higher right now real.
