We are back flag from camp but and that last night one of the funny moments came from Ohio senator Rob Portman who.

Was for the VP job here's -- yen sank.

My name is Rob Portman and they say I was on governor Romney shortlist of vice presidential candidates.

Apparently it wasn't short enough.

Like only one person on that list many political watchers believe that it would be Rob Portman people swore up and down that he was going to be the guy.

Not Paul Ryan who of course has become Mitt Romney's running mate nice light moment -- from rob -- My dad used to say to me.

You can be part of the problem.

-- you can be part of the solution.

The present administration.

Has made it's choices.

And Mitt Romney and I have made hours.

Before the -- and a moment of overwhelm us all.

We are going to solve this nation's economic problems.

Had that problem is a huge challenge we're getting some new numbers on the jobs front new claims for unemployment for the week now holding steady.

374000.

Americans in the last seven days.

Fought for unemployment claims that shows an economy just treading water majority whip California congressman Kevin McCarthy.

You're very close to Paul Ryan.

How did -- do last night you know what he had a home run.

I think that was a transitional speech it has changed the debate not about politics but about Hollis.

He had the courage to talk about really what ails us and not afraid to talk about how to save Medicare.

And he doesn't do it by demonizing the other side he does it by his brain power is say here's a different idea and I think.

You you'll look back in history in this will be a moment of a shift of the generational change in the Republican Party.

Not a party that -- says no but part of it's not afraid to take their conservative values but upon him to a problem to call to sign a solution.
