romney cancelling a planned trip to orlando. the candidate's campaign initially cited exhaustion and said he wasn't exhausted, he was busy. and then abc news reported he was spotted spending some time in the gym. i don't know why they're avoiding the orlando stop. is there a rational reason for the republican new ticket to avoid a lot of time in florida right now? >> absolutely. you covered it when you covered the newspaper headlines in florida saying rather straight out that ryan could be a problem for romney in florida. my personal opinion before this vice presidential pick was that florida was shaded probably for romney. now, i think it's shaded at least slightly for obama. one thing we need to keep in mind, rachel, and i'm reminded myself, i have been covering politics since way before tim tebow was born, but these things unfold as time goes on. and while right now ryan looks like he is toxic for the ticket, it could be as we get deeper in the campaign, that this intelligent man, he is intelligent and serious man, will show

it's one reason he didn't go to orlando. the romney campaign felt they were losing over the summer. they started the summer maybe a slight favorite, at least even money. they had a terrible summer. i'm not saying they believe the wheels were coming off and the axel was dragging, but they had a coughing engine. so they wanted a game changer. they have gotten that game changer. it is a risk for romney, but a risk he apparently felt he had to take. which before this vice presidential nominee, romney's target was obama's failures. now, the target at least for the time being, and i think it will carry through convention time, is what about this ryan that he picked? what does it tell us? it's also indicative when he announced the selection of ryan, romney was all for ryan. i'm for him. he's my guy. he and i are together. but the time he got to the 60 minutes appearance, 48 hours or less afterward, he had changed once again. i would submit rightly or wrongly, this plays into the persemgz that romney goes this way and that way, that he's a flip-flopper. another thing about the ticket that h
