a couple of names being bandied about include clint eastwood, sarah palin, some are even throwing out tim tebow. but it is unclear if there is any truth to that or if it is just a wish list. we'll have to wait and sigh. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. -- we'll have to wait and see. >>> our big local story, a former university ever virginia la crosse player will be sentenced today for the death of his he can-girlfriend. george huguely was convicted of second degree murder. a jury has recommended a 26- year sentence but according to a court filing yesterday, huguely's attorneys are asking the judge for leniency and a 14- year sentence. >>> an off the cuff remark at the republican national convention cost a d.c. journalist his job. what he said that caused yahoo news to fire its washington bureau chief. >>> a good showing for the redskins in their final pre- season game. we share the highlights coming up next. of we'll be right back. after a check of the market. it was an up day on wall street wednesday though the gains were pretty small. dow picked up 4 1/2 points. the nasdaq up fou

and what he was saying last night about welfare which is of course, a line of attack that has been bandied around in conservative circles in recent weeks. let's take a listen to what rick santorum said last night. >> under president obama, the dream of freedom and opportunity has become a nightmare of dependency, with almost half of america receiving some sort of government assistance. this summer, he showed us once again he believes in government handouts and dependency by waiving the work requirement for welfare. >> we have discussed the validity of this contention and the fact that it's really not valid. it seems that at least one republican has acknowledged the falsity of these claims. i want to play sound from sam brownback earlier today on msnbc admitting that this stuff is false. let's take a listen. >> but you agree that these claims that the work requirement has been abolished are false? >> as far as i have seen, but i don't know all of the bases to it. >> is that the most we're going to get out of the republican party, as far as the truth? >> well, yes. keep in mind the republica

. >> you point out in the piece, the moral question isn't as much bandied about as in the political realm. >> that's right, well, there are kind of two sides to that. i think it appears he was quite aggressive in challenging kind of gray areas in the law having to do with taxes, you know, maybe certain s.e.c. regulations about how you would execute your takeovers. and that, you know, like a lot of people in business, he would kind of push into the gray area and then say, you know, if they want to blow the whistle on us, we'll settle it later. he never, you know, would violate the law. i don't think was ever accused of violating the law. was aggressive in the gray area. the flip side, he did demonstrate a moral rectitude when it came to the nature of the investments. bart may have been the first to report that romney was quite wary, in fact, did not want to invest in tobacco or guns. there were a lot of opportunities during his bain h heyday, spinoffs, colt, winchester, tobacco companies bain could have done deals with and romney said, no, i don't want to do it, there are a lot of ways to

i guess you and i have been talking about this, bandying about the question of whether or not mitt romneyether the various factions of the republican party. we just talked in the last block about the uphill battle he's had to get the message turned around to get the national dialogue away from the todd akin stuff. i want to play the sound from an event just a few moments ago where he starts talking about birth certificates. let's hear that. >> no one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. they know that this is the place that we were born and raised. >> loud cheers. oh, yes, you are an american, unlike our socialist in chief. >> yeah, i don't even know what to do with that because there's so -- it's like a lasagna of metaphor. it's so piled up, like it was referred to as ironic post-birtherism, hipster racism. it's weirdly nudging and winking at this thing that everyone knows is this kind of coded racial appeal. >> guaranteed to get him get beat up all day. >> why would you say it? >> you could overanalyze this stuff. i wonder if he thought that was going to be funny. >> he clearly did

party proving you can sit on the issue, forcible rape and legitimate rape and you can continue to bandy that about in certain corners and really not see any fallout from that as they have been doing for decades. maybe he can hold on to this. >> one thing i would say, i had a lot of republicans, when todd akin won, i said look, this makes this race more competitive. i still think mccaskill is going to win. they said you're making the mistake saying that todd akin is equivalent to sharron angle, someone who is not at all ready. this is somebody who has been in, you know, spent time in the u.s. house, he was in the missouri state legislature before. are his views more conservative, maybe, but this is a guy who knows his way around. i will tell you those same people are not espousing those views now because they have seen that this guy has exposed himself as someone who is just, he carries views that are outside the mainstream, even the conservative mainstream, i would argue, of the republican party and can't win. so he may not be as high profile as sharron angle was, but my guess would be

the catholic question is something we have bandied about a lot and each time we talk about it, i trynd repeat the refrain catholics are not a monolithic voting bloc. do you think paul ryan can help mitt romney make up ground among catholic voters? a pew poll out this month shows overall, president obama has a nine point lead over mitt romney among catholics. among white catholics, mitt romney has a five point lead. >> i do think ryan can help with the catholic vote. he's a very devout, almost evangelical breed of catholic. it's interesting when you say it's not monolithic. you have to look at joe biden and paul ryan, you see two different generations of catholicism right there. somebody like paul ryan will be very, very popular in suburban areas where there's sort of a newer catholicism that really is much more focused on pro-life issues, less focused on poverty issues. if it is a poverty issue, they want to solve it themselves within the church. they don't want the government to be part of it. i think that it is going -- obama already had problems with the catholic vote. i think rya

the names that have been bandied about range from rob portman, marco rubio, tim tau lenty, bobby jindalare on paul ryan, in terms of vice presidential buzz. we want to go ahead and bring in our del kelly o'donnell in high right now. kelly are you with us? >> reporter: yes, i am. >> kelly, let's go over why they would break this on a friday night. what do they really have to gain here in terms of letting all of the news organizations know they're going to do this on a friday night? >> reporter: well, first of all, they want everyone to be in place and make the biggest splash when the event occurs. it is a bit surprising it's on a friday night, this late, and the olympics are still going on. we had been given a lot of sort of indications by people who are close to the process that it would likely not occur during the olympics for two reasons. many people are still glued to that. the attention has been consumed by the olympics. and mitt romney has his own personal tie to the olympics with his work leading the games in 2002. and you could make the case that he should not step on the olympic

>> mark halperin, you brought up a little-known e-book called "game change" and the phrase being bandied about in the world of political media is that this in fact may be a game change as well, this pick of paul ryan. what do you make of it? >> it might be and just like the pick of sarah palin, it's not clear if it ends up being a game changer, which side it will be a game changer for. paul ryan could help mitt romney make up the small lead that barack obama has now and help him put wisconsin in play and redefine the race, or he could cost mitt romney so dearly with senior voters and other groups in wisconsin and in florida and pennsylvania and iowa that he contribute to his losing the race. we have to see. >> it's an either/or situation, you're saying. maggie, it's very rare that both sides greet this political news with such fervor and so many broad smiles, yet both democrats and republicans were very happy about paul ryan as mitt romney's choice for vp. i guess the question is, we're beginning to see the creeping of daylight between mitt romney and paul ryan on the budget. i wonder if

. >> ari, i want to remind everybody, as the worth "mccarthyism" is trotted out and bandied about, weo talking about a republican party, elected officials from steve king to gene schmidt, newt gingrich, mike huckabee, mike coffman, who have challenged president obama's birth certificate or college records. thesis are elected officials, who should be held to the same standard that old mccarthyite, harry reid, should be. and that isn't happening. >> that tells you two things. in this modern environment, you don't even have to be a black president to be challenged. you can be any kind of president. if mitt romney can't handle people asking questions about his financial records and his business records, then he's not ready to be a presidential candidate, let alone president. that's just number one on the fact that we do have an exhaustive process. but number two, i think, is perhaps the most interesting political point here. which is this clearly scares them. there's a reason why they are just hitting the panic button. and that is because the hope was that they could run this out, ro rope

they tell us -- finally, this, robert portman seen as having an edge -- lots of names still being bandiedbout as people wait to hear that announcement from mitt romney. are you better off today than four years ago? next in shreveport, indiana,. randy, and independence caller: your looking beautiful today. is a bigger coninda-- artist than obama. it does not matter who gets in there, they are both the same people. they jump out in front of cameras. but when they get behind closed doors, they're patting each other on the back on the job well done. ron paul is the only one who knows what's going on. he's the only one telling the truth. the rest of them are blowing smoke. host: next is diane, a democrat in dublin, texas. caller: i am definitely better off. we have to remember that clinton balanced budget and george bush turned right around and gave us -- after clinton balanced the budget. countries like germany operating on over 40% of green power. you think of all these people making all this money off the oil and gas. they make money, make money, make money, and they never put any more mone
