also clinton eastwood.51 to two come after him but that does help because i go with east would between that or george clooney but it will add to the pageantry and has been well scripted and choreographed to a tipple -- typical business sky running this. these tend to run late, the guest does not show up. it is well ahead of schedule covering bill clinton's convention, while lot of passion, a lot of late everything. that embodied the presidential atmosphere but mitt romney is a stickler for time when you throw a wild card event like clinton eastwood they can frame it we just don't know where he will fit in. he will be consistent of the general script. to much government. a consistent theme pounded again and again. gerri: details of his speech coming and 5.plan with unemployment, school choice choice, cutting the debt and will this pact the pledge of paul ryan? >> that is not his style to go for the jugular. looking at that speech he will complement obama it was a watershed event but say the best you can say

>> reporter: the video had to be moved to a less prime hour to make time for clinton eastwood. >> jon karl joins us from washington. the romney campaign is putting oy good face but that is the real feeling behind the scenes about eastwood's performance last night? >> reporter: well, one leading indicator of this is i've talked to a number of top romney aides, asked them about this and what they really wanted me to know was they had nothing to do with the idea, in some cases didn't know he was doing. but they told us that romney was backstage watching this performance and they claim he was laughing during the performance and enjoying it but it is telling that nobody seems to want to take ownership of the idea to invite him out there in the first place. >> failure has a million orphans or whatever the saying is. >>> the cameras were fixed on mitt romney is campaign was hosting megadonors at private parties where the cameras were not allowed. romney raised hundreds of millions of dollars but he won't release the names of of his top supporters who bundle much of it for him. s and's chief

on, all the radio talk shows, all they were talking about was not mitt romney's speech but clinton eastwood's speech! and, i mean, it was the same on the ground. as i was leaving the hotel in tampa the car parkers are saying "what was that all about? who was he talking to? what was he saying that he couldn't do?" i get out to the airport nobody asked me about romney's speech, they asked me about clint eastwood. i got on the airplane and the guy said "hey, are you gonna have clint eastwood on "face the nation"?" i said "we'll ask him." i'll tell you scott, it was like-- and you've been to these-- the fellow who spends a whole lot of money on his daughter's wedding and it's beautiful and the bride is beautiful and people are talking about her dress and then the future brother-in-law gets up and tells some story about them all going skinny dipping. it just changed everything. you know, it was a big night for romney but somehow he was overshadowed. and this just in, i have just learned the democrats are thinking about having a mystery guest at their convention here like the republicans did but i

it will beat clinton eastwood. we don't know exactly how it will unfold.will take the stage tonight, plenty stood. we don't know if you will address the crowd, if there will be a video beforehand, but that is the mystery guest have been hearing about. some speculation that it would be the jets' quarterback, former university of florida quarterback, but it's not. it's plenties would. cheryl: that is an interesting choice to especially after the automaker commercials from the super bowl. cheryl: >> and return the figured it out when the band was practicing. cheryl: really well done. jeff flock, always has a new talent ever to messier. if you very much. a talented guy. all right. mtv says that no more jersey shore. an unseen today the final test box will be in this upcoming sixth season. no more chugging beer. >> boy, you know, the stock-market jolted by that news. this situation may end up on the unemployment line. the sixth and final season of the show debuted only in december 2009. and now, their sixth season, two per year, they now have a total of 58 epis

is the reaction from governor romney's running mate congressman paul ryan quote this morning: clinton eastwoodt eastwood and we are really happy to have his support. putting out this judging clint eastwood through a typical political lens doesn't work. it was a break from the political speeches and crowd enjoyed it 23 million americans out of worker under employed is a national disgrace time for change. end quote. fox report correspondent jonathan hunt was here. this was a major talking point last night and today. >> certainly was. let me start this at 82 clint eastwood could still kick me into the middle of next week. [ laughter ] certainly a lot of democrats say he made their day by acting as a distraction. even some republics, including veteran g.o.p. consultant ed rollins was somewhat disappointed by. this listen. >> to get someone like his caliber, probably told him to do whatever he wanted to do and he a probably said i have got an idea. and you just expect it to be superb because everything he has ever done is superb it didn't just work. >> to be terrible surreal, to be frank, if i were

that the man who may give the most compelling, inspirational speech of tonight's convention is clinton eastwood. yes, dirty harry, the outlaw josie wales, the high plains drifter. he will be in the house as the mystery guest, no longer a mystery, but for mitt romney, the question remains. do you feel lucky because this is the night of mitt's life as he prepares to assume the mantle of republican nominee, the crowning achievement in his year's long ambitious to be president of the united states. as i've said, they've been busy building out the stage. mr. romney as you're watching now, has gone through a walk through and has just left the main stage. and while he may have been preparing for this moment since he went to his first rnc convention at age just 17, romney's own young gun veepster may prove a difficult act to follow. we learned last night that paul ryan can deliver the red meat that republicans demand. we also learned that his nimble physique translated to his very flexible backbone with no compunction about bending, twisting, even crushing the truth. indeed, mr. ryan spewed so many lie

neil: clinton eastwood, it would appear, rich edson, if he was to have a speech on teleprompter, he didn'tn't. and we just looked over and it was only the introduction. we don't know if he had a speech or not, but totally off the cuff. neil: i wonder that was by his design or accidental, but he hit that out of the park without a script. >> i did not know he was into one-liners like that. neil: now we will go to marco rubio. that is a tough act to follow. >> thank you so much for having me here today and to the convention in florida. before i begin, this is such an important night for our country, i want with your permission to take a few seconds to talk about another country, a country located a few hundred miles away from the city, the country of my parents birth. tonight i ask for your prayers and soon freedom and liberties will be there as well. this is a big honor for me not so long ago i was an underdog candidate, and only people who thought i could win for those who lived in my house, four of them under the age of 10. but this is incredible when i was asked to introduce governor romn

eastwood. didn't work out too well for mitt romney but he will have bill clinton, former president, on wednesday night of his convention make the economic case for obama's re-election. the president is weighed down by the weak economy. bill clinton makes economic arguments between republicans and democrats better than anyone and then president obama will have the big moment on thursday night to do his acceptance speech. mitt romney used his last night to try to sketch out a more human picture of his life, talked about his family, his parents. and republican strategists i talked to think he succeeded with that. question is whether it reaches enough swing voters, especially women, to get over the hump in the end. back to you. >> thanks, john. >>> let's look at whether mitt romney sealed the deal with wall street. john carney is speaking with key players today. what was the verdict? >> they liked what they heard. they thought romney was focused on the economy and not on the hot button social issues. they think that's the right way to go. the line that actually three different people brought up was

eastwood's speech ran longer than expected and cut into romney's prime time coverage. today they're facing questions whether the actor's appearance distracted from the nominee's time in the spotlight. >> we appreciated clinton's support of course but it's so hard to really get a sense of who this person is in such a short -- in such a short amount of time. >> reporter: with the convention behind him and only 67 days until the election, romney's campaign shifts into high gear. after florida the nominee heads to louisiana where he will tour the damage from hurricane isaac. president obama is also on the road in texas meeting with troops at fort bliss. next week the democrats open their convention in charlotte. randall pinkston, cbs news, tampa, florida. >> the white house says president obama will travel to new orleans to visit the flood damage next week. >>> other news now, three people are dead, including the gunmen following an early morning shooting at a new jersey shopping center. this all happened around 4:00 this morning while employees were stocking shelves inside the pathmark supermarket in old bridge, new jersey. police believe the gunman took his own life after killing two people in the store. he was

and clint eastwood, and it seems that the fact that mitt romney has not changed that much, joe, because the primary process was not great for him and it did not make him like hillary clintonr ready or on the edge of the seat ready with the right sort of sense of how to fight. you get the sense that the party, too, is sort of not understanding its better qualities, and they had a incredibly good response to todd akin within the past couple of weeks and good things were happening, but you did not see them last night bringing it all to the table. >> and al is exactly right, but what al said before is the, you don't win these elections and the conventions, but after the convention, and you look at what worked and what didn't work. and face it, there were people in romneyland who didn't get it. who thought that clint eastwood at the end would be better than people telling human stories about the romney, but they get it this morning with margaret carlson saying we were crying and people in the hall were crying, and al, they will have a lot of money moving forward to promote the stories, and you guys wrote about it. >> joe, money is going to be huge. we had a bloomberg business
