liabilities of the federal government-- and this is the work that my friend larry koplokof at boston universityid does-- we're talking more than $200 trillion here. the thing about paul ryan is he's not only serious about that issue. he has a mastery of that issue. he also really gets under the skin of the president. remember, it was ryan who really provoked the president into getting serious about budgetary issue, though he wasn't so serious as to endorse the bowles-simpson recommendations. i think ryan is the key here. i think although the bounce on his initial nomination was very small, that's true, i think in complete let's opposite way from sarah palin, ryan is going to grow in his credibility the more the american public sees of him. he's not just smart. he's very likable. he has many of the character traits that mitt romney really doesn't have. paul ryan is easy-going. he's funny. you know, he connects with younger americans in a way that i think mitt romney struggles to. and as a combination, they're really greater than the sum of the two parts. so this is-- i think it's terrible news f

host: thomas whalen is a professor at boston university. he is our guest on "washington journal."he first call for him comes from myrtle in temple, texas. caller: my response is he is looking at it as a professor or author. i disagree with him saying conventions do not matter. it stimulates the grassroots and gives 61012 people at the grass- roots level to let them know what the issues are. many times they do not watch television. he is looking at it as a professor. that is all. guest: i look at it from a generational point of view. if you are under 50, you are not going to be spending all your time watching the convention coverage. we're going to be doing e-mail, twitter, other types of communication to keep up-to-date on the world around us. i think people over 50 rely on television as their main source of information. i think it is a generational divide. as the greatest generation retires or moves on, i think you will see greater use of the new technology. i think it is going to more or less make conventions' obsolete. they are frankly not needed. host: when was the first conve

i attended boston university.ulations. >> thank you very much. and i have a vivid memory of the subway, going back and for to school. as a day hop. >> if you graduated it would have been higher on the list. but the trouble with this social science is you're measuring a bunch of things hooer that we're not acknowledging that we're measuring. one of the things we're measuring is how much do people who go to this school care about money. once you say we're going to evaluate the success of an education based on how much money it returns, you are saying we will not value people who leave this school and become public schoolteachers. we just won't value them if they do that. >> or if they're great thinkers. but the issue right now, i mean, it used to be, you got into college. four years, i was a history major. you studied history. you learned how to think. you learned how to process information. unfortunately right now in the world we're living in, we all know college graduates coming out with great degrees, not necessa
