appreciate and have great admiration for senator john mccain, but one place i would not go to for advice on vice-presidential runningmates is senator mccain. >> shannon: juan, did the obama campaign consider at any point bringing on secretary of state hillary clinton as number 2? >> all week, i think the republicans have tried to put a focus on joe biden too distract people from talking about paul ryan and medicare. but there has been no evidence from anybody that i talked to near the top of the obama campaign that they had any interest in replacing joe biden. i will say that, hillary clinton's now the most popular politician in the country, shannon am she is a woman. so she would be a terrific addition to anybody's ticket. but i think it would smack of desperation if the obama team switched horses here in the middle of the race. >> shannon: ed, your thoughts? >> totally agree. i find it amazing that after 3 and-a-halfr 1/2 years, that you spend 45 innocents in a press conference talking about whether biden should be dumped. he had a terrible week with many misstatements and the idiotic putting people in chains comment. the longer biden has a spotlig

shannon? is. >> reporter: well, megyn, this massive report springs from a 2004 senate hear anything which senators ted kennedy and john cornyn said they wanted to see specific examples backing up the claim that religious hostility was growing right here in the u.s. the authors of the report say religious freedom is, quote, facing a relentless onslaught from well-funded and aggressive groups and individuals who are using the courts, congress and the vast federal bureaucracy to suppress and limit religious freedom. they cite examples like the ongoing legal battle over a simple cross erected in the mojave december effort as a war memorial. -- desert as a war memorial, fighting in court for more than a decade to get it torn down for goods. and the administration's directive that will require employers to comply with a regulation insuring that the policy includes cost-free access to birth control even if that is in direct conflict with the employer's religious beliefs. >> this administration has brought in a decidedly more secular philosophy when it comes to america, and that is not the philosophy of our founders, it's not

poor reflex on senator john mccain whom i dearly love and respect when it comes to any of the mistakes that were made when it came to that -- the vp pick four years ago. >> shannond he said on "fox news sunday" this morning he stands by that and you were a great pick for him and you were great ticket together. you have his unwavering support as well. we will see a lot of different speeches from a lot of different folks but when they get ready to roll out the message what do you think governor romney needs to say. in how do you think he needs to coalesced e his message? >> we got him. romney has got him. we got to reach the independents and let them know there is an alternative to obama's failed policies and that what romney and ryan will represent and live out is this idea that they are out to solve, help solve america's problems, our economic problems. thomas soul said once the problem with politicians is they are not out to solve our problems they are out to solve their own and in barack obamas who case his problem is how in the world can he get reelected with the dismal numbers that he has helped make even worse when it comes to the economy, joblessness, mort
