mr. marksberry with only a 36% approval rating, i agree with you senator mcconnell looks vulnerable. however, in light of what we saw with our friend, ashleycently, are you concerned about him opening up a smear machine on you? you weren't depressed when you were in 6th grade were you? >> well, i like that ole throw me back in the briar patch. i might buy a scandal to get my name out there. we thought about putting a dirty laundry list for ed marksberry to help him out a little bit. that's what people want to see. they don't care what you did in the sixth grade or when you were a college person. they care about what you're doing now. where is your heart? where is your mind? what kind of leadership skills do you have? are you going to be corruptible? what are you going to do for them? they could care less about all the tit for tat that's been going on for mcconnell. they love to throw out that kind of a campaign. it is not about mudslinging. it is about somebody with the strength wisdom and courage to take on what's wrong in washington and to move the country forward. >> john: ed marksberry is the democratic candidate from the great state o

ashley: as an investor what are your thoughts now? different from before what we heard from mr.today? >> i think it is important to understand that any tapering in qe3 is ultimately a good thing because it means that there is confidence that this recovery is accelerating and that acceleration is sustainable but --. ashley: do you really believe that though? do you believe the economy without the fed's input is strong enough to stand on its own two feet? >> not yet but it might be. you saw a big jump in consumer sentiment. you saw a big jump in leading indicators. we had some stabilization in the labor report last month. clearly march was soft. been mixed a little bit since then. but leading indicators are suggesting an acceleration but they're not going to taper until they're absolutely convinced. ashley: right. >> so watch what happens over the next few months of economic data points and if they're firm, and if we get 200,000 a month nonfarm payroll jobs created, then all of a sudden you could see tapering as early as september. ashley: are you surprised by the bond market rieg
