santa clara and $4.50 in east bay everyone has an opinion. i believe it is set because of this bill in richmond during this woman and walnut creek does not think it is supply and demand. i think something more underhanded behind it political probably chevron agrees on the supply and demand they tell cbs 5 the market is adequately supplied and undamaged parts of the refinery produce gasoline. and a statement a company spokesman said the fired at the richmond refinery in just one factor influencing price is a variety of conditions like crude oil prices affect what consumers pay at the pond. an analyst and critics as yes but we have a tight market in california and small number of companies controlled production there refine it to gasoline and salad at the pump they're

ryan's budget plan. joe touman and joins me now this vp pick clearly he's trying to engage the tea party and conservatives is a have to go that route? mitt romney has two things he must do, to be forceful as republican and he needs to shore does own base in the party, a growing number of voters who are tea party people, paul and a darling of the tea party he brings the republican flock together, to one in november and a republican running has to count on independent voters and to get some disaffected democrats that is the problem with this election, paul ryan will not be attractive as in canada and two independents and democrats get in his positions on tax reform he's talked about and the entitlement programs you want to go after.

this basically will play into the democratic narrative, you have seen the advertisement these reforms will favor the wealthy and not the great numbers of voters in the country. it sounds like he's solid in his base cannot allow the gop ticket to reach out to those other voters. i would say the selection of ryan when not helping with those voters but if mitt romney is going to when the only way for running to win in the fall, is for ron to make the argument that brought obama not successful and cannot be trusted with the economy. he might get lucky if there's a bad jobs report the president will argue they're going in the right direction of those slowly. he will paint romney and ryan who will benefit the wealthy few. and do well the independence believe? he has given the democrats a

lot to work with in as and debated for a couple of years, that much is clear, democrats will make the argument and had the congressional budget office behind them health care by the white the one thing that must be reformed it is the biggest entitlement program, it will be a costly thing for seniors and we must be careful in swing states with large retirement states they vote, they want reform but not the takes my benefits away. ken romney appeal to those types of people new details emerged from the deadly plane crash in los angeles the pilot knew he was in danger. you need more binders pence, newspaper newspaper and
