. >> byron pitts is roving among the delegates and he has caught up with a new jersey delegation. >> scott, we have talked to a number of delegates tonight who say the energy level in this room is far higher tonight than it was at this time yesterday. and in great part because of the upcoming speech by president clinton, last night mrs. obama spoke in part to women voters, the mayor of san antonio spoke in part to hispanic voters, i was talking earlier to congressman from missouri who said that there is simply no single person better equipped to speak to the broad base of the democratic party on behalf of president obama than president clinton and scott, it is no accident when president carter addressed this audience it was by videotape, the campaign wants president clinton, the best of bill clinton live and in living color. >> byron thank you very much, we have special guests up here in the anchor booth tonight. two men who really brought down the house last night, julian and joaquin castro. >> is 33-year-old mayor of san antonio and you may have noticed these men bear a striking re

so byron lewis and roy eaton figure in here. in the 1960s, civil rights groups had demanded thatly-neutral -- racially-neutral advertising be created. they insisted on consumer messaging that spoke to blacks as blacks in a visual and verbal language that only black agencies could understand and translate to the market. targeting for the black consumer is an anthropological consideration more than a marketing consideration, asserted thomas burrell of chicago's burrell communications. vince colors developed a whole school of principles he called soul marketing, complete with fully articulated instructions of how to use the term boss and jive. in washington black leaders took affirmative action mandates and used them to secure broadcast licenses for radio and television. black agencies asserted their right to control the ad dollars that flowed to those outlets. the pages of ebony and jet came alive with black is beautiful. slogans pitched sham p poos to a fast-growing population of urban consumers. these were positive imma'ams 245

byron pits is down with the delegation from florida tonight. byron, how are they going to capitalize on what mr. clinton had to say? >> reporter: scott, we have been talking with delegates this evening who say there is a confidence in this hall tonight that did not exist two nights ago. they siit comes in great part from the speech president clinton delivered in this arena last night. i was talking to a state senator from florida who plans to get copies of the speech and taking it to barber exphops beauty salons in her home district. we want president obama, she says, tonight, to give us a vision, yes, but equally important, to inspice. that inspiration, she says, scott, will be the fuel these delegates will use in the final leg of this marathon beginning in the morning. >> pelley: our cbs news political director is joh dickerson, and he is down there among the delegates as well. john. >> reporter: scott, a senior romney adviser said that their best negative ad is the weak economy because it's always running on a news station somewhere. 10 hour

jon: byron york from the "washington examiner". byron, thank you. >> thank you, jon. jenna: byron mentioned a little bit about money. the president is also gaining momentum in the race for campaign cash. for the first time in months mr. obama raising more money than governor romney according to the latest information that we have. the president and the dnc taking in $114 million last month that is three million more than the gop. you can see there on your screen. governor romney and the republicans raised 111 million and still have the edge when it comes to total fund-raising. wendell goler is live from the white house with more on this. wendell, why maybe a switch in momentum here? >> not clear, jenna what caused the fund-raising turn around could be the person getting the bounce out of mitt romney's selection of paul ryan as his running mate and the person getting bump from the republican convention is not romney but president obama. he is outraising romney, the first time that happened in four months. the difference was just $3 million. romney is still thought to h

[laughter] [inaudible] i do want to say that the problem as it has been laid out is real. and the two senators, i think, have given us a pretty complete picture what we face and how we have to face up to it. i can't embellish that at all. only know we're in an election contest now, none of the parties nor the candidates at any level are probably going to engage in the discourse that we think that's necessary to lead to a solution until after the election. however, after the election we have to have some progress in the lame duck session before the cliff of the end of december. the american public has not grasped the urgency of the situation. congress understanding this -- that the end may not come tomorrow. it may come the day after is content to wait until if comes. there is a time and the american people are not wanting t

i heard, i guess it was byron dorgan's comments about tax reform. i think, i think what we're able to do in 1986 with tax reform, with a republican president was significant, because that proposal was passed really with democratic votes. and it was a lot of cooperation from both sides of the aisle. the same thing happened of course in 1983 when we fixed social security's financial problems for a while, by giving, by taking it out of the political debate, taking out of the political debate, by giving the leader of the democratic party, leader of the republican party together to agree that they're going to try to fix this problem. tip o'neill and ronald reagan, and we fixed that problem. now, we need something like that today. i of course come to you with a bit of bias in terms of how we might fix the problem, because i was ronald reagan's treasury secretary for four years, and my views, strongly held view is not that americans pay too few taxes, but that our government spends too much. and i think that that view is incorporated pretty well both in si

byron, thank you so much. >> good to see you, byron. >>> also last night, chicago mayor rahm emanuel used to be president obama's chief of staff told delegates about the challenges they faced on day one in the white house. >> there was no blueprint or how to manual for mixing a global financial meltdown, two wars, and a great recession all at the same time. >> mayor, message emanuel is j this morning. >> good morning. >> tell us what you think the democrats have to do in the message coming out of this convention to win this election. >> well, you have to talk about the future, and you have to make it a clear choice between the two candidates' vision of the future. >> is that what bill clinton is doing? >> well, all of us are setting up in very small ways. michelle in a bigger way, and bill clinton in an even bigger way. why the significance of the four years and their vision and their values and how that counts for their own children. >> why does president obama need bill clinton to vouch for him? >> it's not so much vouch, but i wouldn't so much put it in that context. i actually th

this morning, byron pitts is at the stadium. byron, what does this change now? >> reporter: well, good morning, norah. according to the dnc, some 65,000 people would have stilled the stadium tonight, another 19,000 on the waiting list. but mother nature had other plans. tonight's forecast called for thunderstorms. a lot of safety concerns. organizers decided to move president obama's speech from outside to inside, and that's disappointing news for the thousands of volunteers who earned tickets to see the president speak. volunteers like christine gaston of charlotte. >> i waited in line for 3 1/2 hours. i am disappointed. it was in 90 degree temperatures. but i want president obama to win another term. so i would do it all over again. >> reporter: now that president obama will speak indoors, the big fireworks show has been cancelled, and charlie and norah, that big balloon drop we're used to at conventions won't happen this year because organizers say there wasn't enough time to move everything from the outdoor arena to inside. >> byron, one question. for all th

and byron, we have the complete quote, the president had a lot more to say. >> what does he mean?y know. you run for president as an outsider the first time. you can't run for re-election as an outsider. the thing that struck me as odd is he said that's how we got healthcare done, as an outsider. the public was actually opposed to obamacare for months and months and months after it was first introduced. the way he got it done was an inside job. by handing out favors, by persuading people, bytisting their arms. this is the man who passed national healthcare, who passed financial reform, and who passed a nearly $1 trillion stimulus. he got a lot done from the inside. >> a. b., this is going to be used against him, although it's not the complete quote. go ahead. >> i think the most significant thing that president obama said today, that is really alarming, is that his biggest failure that he didn't help enact immigration reform with 23 million people out of work. i think that was the most eyebrow-raising comment. what he said today actually is something he has said before. and althou

joining us, our political panel, byron york and casey hunt and michael crowley. byron!our ally? >> well, they formally are our ally. it was incorrect of the president to say this. there is something called a non-nato ally. so he's wrong and had to walk it back. on the other hand, egypt sometimes doesn't feel like an ally, i am not sure a lot of people heard that and thought, oh, my god. on the other hand, you know, when mitt romney traveled to england and mildly offended an ally, talk about this british preparation for the olympics, it was a huge uproar. i don't have any problem with obama getting flagged for this. >> the situation on the ground in egypt has changed so fast. this was a country that was -- has been a very staunch ally of ours for decades. we have worked with them in great depth on many of the greatest crisis that we have faced. it has changed and instead of an authoritarian regime that we could -- we knew what they were going to do, if they said they were going to do something, now all of a sudden, you are dealing with a very new elected government that

i am here representing port staff member byron and the executive director. port staff was approached in the very recent past, within the last few weeks, by representatives of p. g. any, pacific gas and electric, regarding the reliability project to serve the downtown area of san francisco. that downtown area, if you recall, suffered some of blackouts in 1998. businesses win without power for a fairly extended time span -- businesses went without power. it cost the city to look at reliability issues for power serving downtown and the broader city. san francisco is on a peninsula. it is unusual in that respect. it is hard to maintain a transmission grid that is on the peninsula. pg&e has, since that time, implemented some reliability projects. a line that ended at the hunters point substation. and has continued to work with its regulators, among them the california public utilities commission and the california independent system operator, to propose and develop options that would further enhance reliability in the city. and the proposal that pg&e will talk ab

[ applause ] >> mrs. obama spoke far less about the leader of the free world and more about her husband, father to their two daughters. >> i didn't think that it was possible, but let me tell you today i love my husband even more than i did four years ago, even more than 23 years ago when we first met. >> part of her task was to speak beyond the audience to women at home and middle class america. >> he believes that when you work hard and have done well and walk through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. no, you reach back and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed. >> some of her loudest applause were to her most personal remarks of t
