bill to cut wastefulassethe house. legislation co-sponsored by congressman peter welch of vermont to eliminate wasteful federal spending passed the u.s. house today by bipartisan vote 254-173. the bill grants the president a form of line-item veto authority on spending bills that passes constitutional muster. and previous attempts to enact executive line-item veto authority have been struck down by the supreme court as unconstitutional. well, first of all, what -- why do you want to do this? why do you think a line-item veto-type mechanism will be helpful? >> well, first of all, this is a line-item veto where the president can say, cancel out the bridge to nowhere. but then, congress has the opportunity to vote to approve it by a majority vote. not two-thirds. so congress will have the final say, the power of the purse that it is granted in the constitution. the reason i want it, is because it does allow the president to scrub the budget, identify speak things that he determines or she determines are wasteful, but then congress can, in the light of day, say yes or no, we want to spend that money on that bridge to nowhe

peter maer, you were at the white house in 1996 when bill clinton was challenged by bob dole. he, of course, won reelection, but that was an important year because it was the first year, only 16 years ago, in which both campaigns had their own web site. and they did something remarkable at the time, they posted speeches on their web sites, no video, but speeches and texts and other information. of course, as steve klein pointed out in 2000 and 2004, campaigns started using them as a marketing tool and a fundraising tool. that was only 16 years ago. >> it's astounding what has evolved. i would say that for anyone who really wants to see how far it has come, take a look at the white house web site and the way they live streamed the president's state of the union message. it's still there and i assume will be for some time with very impressive graphic, all visually spinning the points that the president was making in realtime. and we'll see what the republican campaigns come up with. what are they going to do at the gop convention in terms of matching that in the acceptance speec
