would join him on this bus tour. you're seeing any indication of that? >> yeah. we expect it to go now across the country. four states they'll be visiting over four days tomorrow in virginia, then north carolina, then florida and ohio. then one can assume the running mate and the candidate will at some point split off. first campaign together, we'll see two of them on stage, we'll see how this plays out then probably split off and campaign together. not a guarantee it's paul ryanful but there are indications it will be him. we'll find out who, tomorrow, we know it will be at 9:00 tomorrow in norfolk. >> carl cameron breaking us in tonight and getting us ready for breaking news for mitt romney's running mate choice tomorrow morning. carl cameron, thank you very much. we're going to join our owe rileo factor now, already in progress. fizzled out, the obama campaign turned its attention back to mitt romney's personal tax returns. >> was there ever any year when you paid lower than the 13.9%? >> i haven't calculated that

this tour is very, very important. and to get this choice made and anyone of the people including ryan or others as mentioned are significant people. i think it gives you a real boost here as you sort of go into the next two weeks it will be an extension. my sense is that it's a great day to do it. gives you talk shows all weekend. it gives you next week after olympics to thrive who this person is and what their credentials are. if it's ryan, he can articulate problems as a nation. and he's young and dynamic, and he'll make conservatives very happen reand members of congress, republican members of congress who are a majority in a important role, they'll be happy. >> we talked about the boost. the bump just minutes earlier. phone shallly double digit bump. talking about a vice president pick less than three weeks before republicans get to tampa before rnc. >> i'm not sure akind of boost you get anymore. polls are close and even. certainly gives you momentum skb gets this out of the way. and this is aren't very many unde

>> they're on the tour with me, yeah. tavis: they're on the tour. made this record with a few jazz guys and a few guys in new york that i really wanted to make a record with. they're out here with me now. tavis: they're being very patient with you then? >> they've been very patient. they deserve a medal. tavis: so this is your first solo project? >> yeah. tavis: but you got the frames playing behind you? >> yeah, of course, yeah. what's lovely about this opportunity is we'll get to play songs together on tour and sound checks. that's really where songs happen is when you're just in that down moment with your mates and you're playing. so part of my logic was, one, these guys know me so well. i've known them for 20 years, so i can turn on a dime and head any different direction and those guys just know where to go. but secondly, i get to sit around and jam with them and we get to sort of come up with stuff. tavis: if this were going to be and obviously it is your very first solo project, is this what you thought or hoped it would be? put another way,

and i think this tour with announcement tomorrow, this bus tour, there has been a lot of speculation with picks coming after the bus tour or olympics? well, it's going to become during olympics. think it's boing to be a show of unity. there are contenders on the trail supporting whoever he picks and if it's romney, if it's ryan, well, everyone going to get behind ryan and there is go tok a big rally. in these swing states romney is right there but is losing in a lot of the battle ground states. he needs to move this needle and to have a better august than july. he had a rough overseas trip and he needs to do better and this is in order to set up victory. >> all of these running mates have been out campaigning for mitt romney not necessarily with them. and there is interesting to see. marco rubio had a public campaign, many have said that the campaign for the vice president job and rein has been understated and has not done a lot of interviews and there is also a decent amount of media interviews. ryan has been lee below radar and really a lot of people haven't been talking about him

a couple of examples of the -- there's a passionate street artist in the mission will had offered tours to friends and family and people in the community. he had become an expert. he discovered our platform and is not able -- not only able to monetize and make money to do what he loves that he had already been doing the sharing the expertise and knowledge will be on his own network of family and friends. we have tourists coming from japan and france, and instead of just seeing pier 39, they are also venturing into the mission, spending money at the local readers shop and gaining knowledge about something they have now become passionate about. one other example is a homeless man who lives in the tenderloin at a shelter. him volunteering in the tenderloin. realized that there was a huge opportunity for people to educate themselves about homelessness in san francisco because it is something that the city, for better or worse, is known for. instead of ignoring that segment of town -- because you do not typically think of it as a tourist destination -- we wanted to see what were the strength

on sunday, the romney bus tour heads to north carolina.da, home of senator and vp contender, marco rubio. in florida, the romney bus will make a very curious u-turn and head over 700 miles north to ohio, where romney will be joined by senator and vp contender, rob portman. and, no, mitt romney will not sit on the bus for those 700-plus miles. like his last multi-state bus tour, romney will fly from state to state, then step off his comfy jet and on to his campaign bus, which for some reason team romney will serve as a better backdrop than mitt's chartered yet. -- jet. romney's lack of campaign events scheduled for thursday and friday has at least one conservative pundit predicting romney's vp announcement will come this week. >> weird, i think, to do this four-day tour through four swing states, big bus tour, a lot of excitement, without having picked the vp and with that sort of hanging over him and dwarfing whatever message he wants to get out. so i now believe the pick will be made thursday afternoon or friday. let the guy go on the mor

christie smith got a tour of the building in one of the most impositivished neighborhoods. >> you saidhe auditorium hadn't open yet when vandals hit and inside they busted a pipe and there was at least six inches of water everywhere. concerns about mold and it took longer to repair than anyone thought of. six months, a cost of a million dollars and really it's more than just an auditorium. there is also a computer lab inside and, as you said, this is one of the more economically disadvantaged schools in richmond. everything had to be repaired from the floors to the walls and the windows that were busted. vandals spray painted and busted the windows and busted pipes all around the building and allowing flowing water to flood the building. it cost a lot more than anyone thought to repair but the district wanted to make a statement. >> a combination of insurance proceeds, some money that we had left over from other projects that we were able to make it happened and we wanted to make sure everyone in the community made sure we were committed to not allow the vandals to have control and be

now ava marie is previewing the dew tour. a lot of folks i know going to ocean city this weekend. >> actually, i saw your performance one time on the dew tour, so you have given the information. i am here with the james foster. you do impressive stuff on the ramp. but you are going to teach me a little bit. what kind of bike? >> this is madgear bmx coming out 2013. this is my personal customized one and we will get you out here to see how you can handle the. >> what is so different? shorter wheels? >> to do tricks, we put the seat down and the bike is really like, 20 pounds. it has the release strong because if we do big tricks the fat -- the bike does not tumble and break. but it is important for me to know. i am -- >> it is important for me to know. the trick, you said, is to keep your feet level. down like a normal by but you stay standing. you want to give differing on that. you keep your seat level as you go down the ramp -- brakes against the bottom -- and you should be all right. here we go. i am surprised he let me us

the duo kicked off a four day bus tour through the common wealth with the first stop in manassas. john was there, to see the first day in action. >> reporter: several thousand people showed up in manassas to hear the two people at the top to have republican ticket make their case. newly selected vice presidential candidate paul ryan, placed blame for the nations slow economic recovery on president obama. >> the president has given us policy that is have put our nation on a path to debt, doubt, despair and decline. here is the good news, we don't have to put up with this. we can turn this thing around. we can get ourselves back on the right track. >> reporter: he is a famous fiscal hawk, and republican presidential candidate mitt romney praised ryan's efforts to cut debt. >> some times our party has gone astray over the past years and paul ryan said no, bring it home to the things we care about care for our seniors care for our kids and stop spending what we don't have : >> largely partisan crowd seemed very happy with governor romney's choice for the number two spot. >> what do yo

prisoners and guards, this weekend unlock the cells and open the halls for tours. >> a lot of peoplehat work there and people that were hoitioned there also. >> the prison is one of the state's oldest correctional facilities. the cells are too small for a modern jail. inmates are increasingly violent. in 2006, the narrow hallings became a death threat when he was am bished by two inmates two stabbed him to death. they shut the house of correction down for good. >> armory and the window that opens and looked into the arc. >> lawrence worked into the prison between 1965 and 1986. he came back this weekend for one reason only, to give his wife a tour. >> got involved and slam-dunked this place. it should have been closed many years ago. >> it wasn't all bad. at least not for gary hornbaker. he was the warden on duty when the prison closed. this weekend's tour is the last step before a brick by brick construction begins in the coming months. >> i don't have a tear when it's knockedded down. >> 85% of everyone who came here, wanted to do the time and go home. >> more than 2000 people expe

a bus tour of their own. their logo reads romney economics, the middle class under the bus. this weekend they pulled in to raleigh to stage this demonstration but romney wasn't there. the republican presidential candidate cancelled his appearance to fit in a stop in wisconsin. the mayor of minneapolis was there and blasted the gop ticket's tax policies. >> it's clear what we have now is a team that says that it's really a great idea to make massive cuts to the very, very wealthy at the expense of the middle class. >> mitt romney is promoting his economic vision on his bus tour. he and his new running mate, paul ryan made two stops today in north carolina, the second stop in the four state tour. jim acosta is there. >> reporter: with paul ryan a little more than 24 hours in his role there is a race to define the wisconsin congressman with democrats stepping up their attacks and noting ryan posed a partial -- described ryan as someone who came to washington in his late 20s when he was elected to congress. here

nuns on the bus tour to protest romney's plan.y invited romney to join them on a tour writing . . . as of now romney has not responded. with me now is sister simone campbell, who lead the nuns on the bus tour through nine states. we appreciate your time tonight. >> glad to be with you. >> does former governor -- excuse me paul ryan misunderstood his faith? >> i think paul ryan has a very limited understanding of his faith. he gets one part about individual responsibility, but he misses two other key parts, one is that responsibility only works when you are in strong solidarity understanding the whole of society, and the second piece that catholic social teaching says the roll of government is to offset the excesses of any culture. and what paul ryan misses is that his faith calls him to balance that individualism and community. >> what you just articulated is a very different conception of community that i and many others think is completely based biblical teachings, and yet paul ryan sees it very differently. how to you engage hi

tours, and everyone i competed against knows who won those seven tours. but it may not be over yet. the international cycling union could appeal the ruling. if it does, the case goes to the sport of arbitration for sport in switzerland and that could be months away. >> the saga is not over. >> not by a long short. >> appreciate it. >> we want to bring in allen abrahamson. good morning to you. >> good morning, savannah. >> you make an observation in your column that the hallmark of lance armstrong's career is that he is a fighter. are you surprised he decided to stop fighting? >> i am and i'm not. there is a lot for lance to gain from lance not going through this. usada lined up ten witnesses. this is not a criminal proceeding. if i lined up ten guys that rode with lance, i would say the odds are pretty good in my favor i would gain a favorable verdict. there's a lot for lance to say enough is enough now. >> he's attacking the legitimacy of the process. you know a thing or two about the process. that is a fair criticism? >> there's not much else for him to

he did so after his seventh and final tour de france in 2005. he eventually made a comeback in 2009 but never returned to his old form. in 2011 he retired from good, and now banned from the sport for life. >>> to politics. with the republican national convention three days away in tampa, we're keeping a close eye on the path of tropical storm isaac. right now, it's bearing down on the dominican republic and haiti. the latest forecast from the national hurricane center shows the storm tracking just west of tampa by monday. as you can see, though, florida very much in the threat zone. we'll have a complete update on the storm's path and strength coming up in a few minutes with bill karins. for now, republicans say the convention will go on, but perhaps not quite as planned. this morning, we've learned that the delegate role call, the process by which mitt romney formally wins the republican nomination, has been moved up from wednesday to monday. typically, the formal nomination takes place the night before the candidate's acceptance speech, but "t

here he's going to have a jobs tour. he needs a jobs tour now. go to ohio.ed about free trade and american virginia. he's going to go to ohio and talk to them. >> is he going to get a bounce with barack obama following on his heels next week? >> the polls show that he did get a couple points already out of the convention. but it's interesting to note that both barack obama and mitt romney are below 50% in those polls. and they're well within the margin of error. i don't think there's a bounce out of either convention. i think we're going into this homestretch in a dead heat. i want to associate myself with something jared burnstein said earlier. when mitt romney takes the ronald reagan line and asks, are you better off today than you were four years ago, he has to be careful. in states, swing states like florida and ohio, guess what? people are better off. the unemployment rates are better in those key swing states than four years ago. >> we'll have to leave it there. that's all for tonight from the republican national convention in tampa. next week, the dem
