Language he should use and what position he should take. then tubby would look at me and say, you know, hes got real problems, but he doesnt have any problem that a few points of unemployment wouldnt solve. i really think sometimes these elections turn on things much bigger than the man himself. so sad to say, but romney could use that unemployment. >> arthel: susan, you always have great insight. i know youll keep watching it for us and come back and tell us your take on it. we do appreciate it...
