Joseph Biden of Tampa Florida on Monday.

On the same day the day one kicks off the Republican National Convention in the same city.

Now this is usually hands off in the past not so now -- Ed Henry explains live traveling with the president in Vegas today.

Sounds like the vice president's crash and a bit of a party what explains that and he.

He is bill what they feel inside the Obama camp when I talk to top officials is that in this current news media environment you can't cede the stage like he used to in the old days.

Of the Republican Convention but he's gonna stick around for another day to two -- -- several cities throughout Florida I think they're also trying to send a message.

That they're not going to give up on Florida even though the Republicans have the convention there are gonna make a strong play.
