9:12 am
friday along the shoreline is going to be " getting a little sun letter in the day the the temperatures are down because the low pressure is unusually deep for this time of year. in the future cast model of how the atmosphere supposed to be paid mr. us stuck a la cloud cover filling in the bay the cup to propose that by midday today had been the coastline of pushing back and down their davenport for tomorrow. the usual low cloud cover in drizzle at the coast line later in the day with sunshine to the bay area and in london we mostly sunny with highs in the upper seventies. 90 degrees at redding 83 in sacramento and 59 for your rica.

9:14 am
the coast line has cloud cover and '60s enough the weather. the republican national convention happening this week in tampa. what are the goals of this highly scripted event and cook the tropical storm within talking about actually could for the republicans greta will put these questions of our political analyst this morning. i'm sure if you're going to the convention know would rather difficult time but obviously for mattel the television perspective it's not a bad thing because these conventions could be shorter than that are at this point they don't draw the television viewership that they did a long time ago when there are more mechanically relevant to the outcome of the campaign but to date in the air over campaign for president start years in advance and not mr. select months before the conventions, including the vice presidential candidates there's no doubt that these things anymore and as a consequence is
9:15 am
not a lot of reasons for people to pay attention. but it doesn't mean they're not relevant at all because this towed the this looks at future stars and sometimes in the videos that they show the innocence and side on the television ads; the fall but that's not your average voter. greta lawyer talking about the speakers and a thick with adjusting as to speaking but who is not speaking of equity here from a lot of his former opponents in this campaign. i think the decision was made we hear from some of them the the decision was made to emphasize rising stars in the party and of the things republicans have lots of this time around the republican who the winners and there some break it was from the republican perspective for future kennett's including gov. walker and ohio that survived the recall campaign attack on the labour unions and christie will be the
9:16 am
main line speaker someone that they're projecting if mitt romney loses is the next time around presidential campaign in terms of speakers to join of the other candidates out there so one of the questions is the balance here are they trying to rev up the republican base with this convention? or is this in aimed at were due payment at the few group of undecided voters that action left and up for grabs. that is a good question and i think conventions try to do both of those things. we go to either convention one thing you want to make sure you come out with at the end is that the focus now heard everyones in lockstep behind the canada and i did say before there's not a lot of trauma and on and that statement to this point of your question. into custody there was a question a lot of the clinton voters and supporters for match
9:17 am
did make it and discussion of what they would with the convention and this fall whole reason why mccain was attracted to sarah palin as a cat in it because you were to go after the female voters. so the democrats worked really hard to make sure that when they came out of the convention a matter how hard the supporters were the got behind obama and mitt romney is to do that with his supporters to say there is that part of it. the the the thing is to have to do the transition to a general election mode is begin to appeal to the rest of those part of the discussion. it's interesting that the convention to the republican party convention and the democratic party convention when they're supposed to be showing the thing called the platform which is what they stand for a we already have the consent and not for a not necessarily there with that it's an odd thing to watch is this about the
9:18 am
republican presidential with the party i think the answer is the conventions and platforms reflect this to both those things. the half to an hour to be inclusive or to make sure that they're behind the nominee is every place voice meant to be heard. earlier this week they floated a crazy idea that there would have a constitutional limits to them all as solutions but there is your chance romulus' sign off on that the the fact that the talk about putting it in the if pot platform is to satisfy everyone in the convention that their voices were heard. coming up another big day on the water for the america's cup. and a winning at any cost a steroid scandal for bay area teams.

big turnout on short yesterday. russell rebounded from friday's mishap with a crash on the water he then they then when the semifinal match greasing the oracle team continuing to dominate live in the second fleet race and a commanding lead. the doping scandal made headlines across the country this week first a's pitcher suspended for testing positive of high levels of testosterone in a one week after the giants slugger was busted for the same thing. given that we turn to the former mayor and the president of the sentences could giants and are questions are the days when the giants the limbs lance armstrong once again it's your rights and sportswear to the giants have to say shot disappointed what happened with us that no place for steroids in sports the drug policies and drug programs of cleaned up but it's not perfect
9:22 am
and we have to keep going and do more. i agree completely except that i think there ought to be a rational application of the rules and regulations that relates to drugs if they can be prescribed for you they shouldn't be the subject of anybody's involvement of their prescribed. weird a draw the line these days? anything we're doing testing anything this performance enhancing or drug of abuse is now allowed as it should be. high-school players and kids are watching and we have to set an example in sports. we're saying that now but a couple of years ago we had barry bonds and others that were pretty obviously doing something under your noses. it was obvious to some people i suppose everybody in the game is made a pact with the players' union that were not going to allow it to keep going and do whatever is possible to
9:23 am
ridge drugs from the sport. you have to no matter what the rules are many people will try to find a way to get around the rules and some of them will succeed until they're caught. their looking for an edge. how much pressure on your players and professional sports for the edge. it's about a contract and it's about the players that come from very poor low income upbringing especially some of the players from the dominican and i'm sure there's pressure of but doesn't make it right. where is it go from here is first baseball goes are we going to keep testing and tossing them out it's a continuing conversation with the players' union head think baseball out the program's working and the detection is happening and if there's evidence it needs to be more serious or severely be the subject of collective bargaining. we have got to figure it out the
9:24 am
players looking for an end to end at the chemists are ahead of the rules to require to have to make the rules tougher. the question is for the other generation and was talking last week with some of the petaluma little leaguers and they named their favorite player they look up to and most of them named barbara it's disturbing. is not like they knew in advance they did they name tim after the scandal because they have got some respect for him beforehand. if you think lance armstrong will suffer as a result case interesting because he was america's sweetheart for so long battling cancer and surviving in the to to zero let people have sprung to his defense at least as a social media so although many people presume that he was guilty by
9:25 am
the fact that he stepped away from the sport there is a lot of support as well. greta showing there's a mixed bag as far as the center a chicagos. coming up will have one more look at today's top stories. the bundle of joy is here and with the reality it starts treated after giving birth.
