is run. chuck basically said you re oscar. that s just not a good thing. you assume that was an attack. for barnacle that s yes, sir. that s an upgrade for me. chuck, i want to agree with these or disagree with these two points. first off that the bain attacks which a lot of people say don t work because they are private equity, all that means to me he s a wall street guy. he s that guy. he s not you. it s a big picture paint. not about private equity not about bain he s a wall street guy. number two on the flip side i think the republicans have been running very effective adsรง consistently, i ve not seen one ad they ve run whether it s day one ad, celebrity ad, hillary clinton ad, these guys are very, very focused. i think both sides are on their a game.
who reminded me that today we should wish happy birthday not only to pete seeger but also to who is 93 but also the pride of vanderbilt, willie geist. oh, thank you, mike allen.
