Done yet this weekend could be to Texas congressman is Alamo because of the presidential candidate gains enough last minute support from Nebraska is big.
GOP gathering tomorrow he will -- -- the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
And I guess is is -- -- -- -- lights that are not on the phone with us now is congressman.
Ron -- congressmen.
I always thought these speaking things were set in stone by the nominee and not necessarily.
There in theory no I think either party have a lot to do that -- the end the rules have something to -- about it 200 who -- stated the rules dictate who gets to be nominated as well as not only for president vice president as well.
But I would say -- the presidential nominee.
This speculated that clear cut nominee -- have a lot to say about it -- I don't think there will be a split between the governments seek.
And the Romney camp on who gets to do what they well I would again I don't care who they are if they don't let.
-- speak I mean they'd they'd be idiots I didn't and I don't think that'll happen so I don't I know -- there's a lot at stake tomorrow Nebraska and Edwards watching it.
But I'd say that would be political suicide if -- if you were relegated to the sideline.
And yeah.
You know I would I would think -- could do you prior write about it because.
I'll try to be objective I would think that if an individual hairs.
You know whether a -- where there's individuals like the young people.
Who would like because into the party to a different road of their -- If they wanna go to parties -- -- thing about big hint it's not like I'm preaching socialism not preaching.
Just doing this thing thinking -- credibility for doing exactly what Republicans claim.
They believe it is -- if I were still well we don't like these Ron Paul people because then they don't vote to raise the national that when you need to do you know -- out either.
Stupid and what ever they're discrepancies in differences over foreign policy analyst -- it did you people can disagree.
There's no doubting your your your supporters passion and enthusiasm -- the only guy I know when we recovering -- during.
The primaries and caucuses congress and who get young people.
You grads talking about the Fed that's impossible -- could have done that in my.
Financial journalism career -- I'd I'd be like the jacksons so I don't -- have acted did that but.
I don't think the Romney camp wants to risk alienating that that group have you heard from the governor.
Have you gotten any sense of what.
Role UB.
UB plan and no I haven't.
All of our staff have talked.
That in directly.
Off the record it has nothing at.
And I'm gone -- -- that maybe the party they aren't he is more open.
To allowing me to have a presence there.
It is not on -- personal link provided be accused all the time it probably are too close friends at all back current stopped.
In India and that lies what is true but I think the room the campaign organization and is very insecure they don't want any.
They want this thing goes smoothly -- All the time all convention like -- this could go weren't cutting -- is annoyed me at the F if they wanted things to go smoothly and be a big media event.
And it cost the taxpayer -- two million dollars if they don't wanna discussion.
You know why can't we have a little about why would they let it -- another I don't know I didn't hear that but -- would.
Quick take on this -- that Condi Rice has moved to the top.
Of governor Romney's VP -- -- what do you think of her what are they gonna.
Well I wouldn't really really surprised that that is the case IE I would be pretty amazed.
If you were to be picked up.
You can just see where you're not a fan obviously -- -- when I'm now -- -- debt.
I mean I can understand philosophically why she might because.
Even though she talked about along with bush in the year 2000 lot of humble foreign policy -- -- while maybe we're gonna get a global foreign policy.
And no nation building.
But it didn't turn out that way -- she would fit the bill for him.
But it wouldn't help the Ron Paul supporters because.
They they would like a different foreign policy we'd like what like important policy that George Bush talked about a year 2000 -- that you're saying that your supporters wouldn't like hers at that.
That would that would be my guess but I don't dictate anything anybody under about that would be my guess they're not going to be they would be very happy.
With -- Because she she represented -- -- policy quite different than what energizes.
You college campuses today you know they.
They're they're not people who are looking for another war paper in other words they know the country's broken.
They don't like what that they have been doing and that sort of thing.
Well think pretty sure is -- bad it is pairs that we wanted to bite here because you know we're gonna get this passed in the in the house here at the next week or so hand -- -- that you passed rather easily so.
There is strong sentiment poorer monetary reform and I think it's very bipartisan like sort of enjoy the economic issues where you can get.
Some Democrats and Republicans coming together are well good luck tomorrow congress -- as -- real close thank you.
