congressman arthur davis of alabama was a former co-chair of barack obama's 2008 presidential campaign four years ago. representative davis switched from the democratic party to the republican party in may. three months ago. davis says vice president biden's remarks are an insult to african-americans. in fact, he says that the words propagated quote-unquote racial viciousness. >> i know what joe biden was doing yesterday. and every black person in that room knew who the "ya'll" was, they knew what the chains were about, they knew what the metaphor was. >> on wednesday, one day later, the vice president tried to smooth out the contra top. >> the last time these guys unshackled the economy, to use their term, they put the middle class in shackles. >> the vice president added this. >> i know i am sometimes criticized for saying exactly what i mean.

one of the most anticipating speakers is arthur davis, the former democratic congressman from alabama, a big supporter of president obama in 2008 and now opposes him and he'll be speaking in favor of mitt romney. and, of course, the most anticipated speeches of the night first ann romney, this is her chance to speak to the nation, speak to these people here and then we'll have governor chris christie with the keynote speech. so we'll be here all night. >> woodruff: i think there's really a reason to stick around even though we know who the nominees are for president and vice president. so our convention coverage continues online where we reach beyond in this sky box. you can find this all access pass on our home page, that's six live-stream channels including all of the official proceedings. an inside look at the newshour team and conversations with delegates here in tampa. >> ifill: earlier today harry sreenivasan asked the papelbon about their role in the g.o.p. and the newshour team goes behind the scenes to the parties here in tampa where a political conversation continues after h

and arthur davis went into detail how issue after issue, this president has been dividing people by racend by class and not talking about 23 million unemployed. black unemployment is the highest it's been in decades. women are at their lowest level of employment now. and you see new numbers coming out that are still low, still abysmal. and this president still is putting out tax increases and a tax on small businesses. >> and is it your charge that if the president isn't addressing this, then the candidates that you're backing are? in what way? >> of course we are. we are out there. come out and instead of following the little sound bites that you like to focus on come out to the rallies and see what people are talking about. that's not what you cover. because when you talk to people on the phone calls and door-to-door and when you go to the rallies, people are concerned about their children's future. the crushing $16 trillion debt. the president said he would cut the debt in half yet he's increased it $1 trillion every year. that is suffocating small businesses. that's why you had a sma

same arthur davis who will this week be speaking at the republican convention. truly adopted a new republican world view, or is the path to political relevance us simply shorter for him as a republican? here again to help examine that question are three conservatives and one liberal. robert traynhum, and karen finney. it is perceived as such among at least my twitter feed and many others that the issue isn't really authentic republicanism, it's that line -- you know, look, the democratic party would have to take some of the blame here, it blocks out new leadership and if you really want to kind of get in there, get a chance to run, get a speaking gig, you go to the republican party. >> what's interesting, when howard dean was chair of the party, a number of members of the cbc raised that issue, it's very attractive to think about running as a republican, in terms of career opportunity, we have more opportunity to do what it is we want to, otherwise, we are told we have to wait in line. >> president obama is president because he couldn't be a congressman. the rea

i want to say my heart felt thanks to david brody, pam brodi, and arthur davis, all had a great storyg story is yet to come, that we'll hear on the republican national convention stage every night this week, i believe that america will hear a real solid and clear reason that there is a tremendous deference between the way that barack obama has governed and the way that mitt romney will govern. this is not a time just to choose up about parties, democrat versus republican, but rather, to determine exactly what kind of america we really are going to have in the coming days and years. i'm looking very forward to that moment. well-- >> oh. >> hey! oh, it was my birthday this week. thank you.
