that's my main concern. >> host: professor goldstein? guest: that's really not a subject that i'm an expert on and that i've studied in great detail. my knowledge is about the vice presidency and history of the office and the impact of the office. so i think the caller, somebody else could better answer that. host: let me ask you this, then: with the inclusion of representative ryan on the ticket, there has been an increase, as we discussed in the previous segment, regarding the budget, social security, and medicare. is this going to be his primary job, do you think, to go out there and discuss these issues and leave it for the person at the top of the ticket, the governor, to talk about other issues, or was he -- was representative ryan chosen as a one issue or one topic running mate and is this something that is typically done in presidential campaigns? guest: well, i think it's difficult in a presidential campaign to exclusively talk about one issue. i think that representative ryan was chosen in part to appeal to the right wing conse

goldstein says of course, or else hese campaigns and super pacs wouldn't be running the ads.s, if anything, negative advertisements tend to engage the electorate and/or inform the electorate. an election of course comes down to undecided voters making a decision, but the pool of undecided voters this cycle is small. smaller than it wws in 2008. and that's why it's crucial thht president obama, governor romney and the superpacs supporting them motivate the base and that is who these ads are targeting. brianna keilar, cnnn the white house. -----end-----cnn.script----- coming up in our 6 o'clock hour... barnes and noble is slashing prices on it's nook tablet.how much prices are going down... and when it's rumored a new one will be launched. launched.but first... manny machado is exceeding expectations...the controversy surrounding his latest home run...next in sports.
