what are the similarities between ted olson and joe biden? >> they are are about the same age and ted olson is one really good debater. i hope joe biden shows more than ted olson because he is one of the best litigators in america. he has studied joe biden's tapes and records and style and ted as you know is one of the best litigators in america and pretty good at adapting to that. >> chris: have you got lines already prepared? attack lines? >> i'm not the a line guy. you know me well. i don't try to be anybody other than who i am. i believe in what i believe and i do what i do and i really believe in the policies we are providing that we are pursuing. and at the end of the day i'm just going to go in there and be me. >> chris: i know you were hoping that joe biden makes one of his occasional gaffes. >> he doesn't do that in debaits. the gaffes he is kind of ledgentary for this. that is not in these situations. he is a disciplined person when speaks in these kind of situations and doesn't produce gaffes in these moments. those are when is off

vice president joe biden nominated and accepting. here are the highlights of night three. >> the current right wing tea party dominated republican not only has hasn't learned from mistakes of the past they're determined to repeat them. we will not let that happen. >> one side of the campaign we have a president who has made america lead like america again. and what is there on the other side? an extreme candidate lacking the judgment and vision so vital to the oval office. the most inexperienced foreign policy to run for president and vice president in decades. >> and barack obama is the kind of leader my he father brought wrote bchl he does what is hard. he does what is right. >> congressman ryan says he wants medicare to be around for his grandkids. well... if that is the case, he had better vote for barack obama. >> this man has courage in his soul, compassion in his heart and a spine of steel. and, because of all of the actions he took, because of the polls he made and determination of american workers and unparallelled bravery o

joe biden knows that story. he's lived it. our vice-president, joe biden. [cheering] >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the vice-president of the united states... joe biden!

what are the similarities between ted olson and joe biden? >> they are are about the same age and ted olson is one really good debater. i hope joe biden shows more than ted olson because he is one of the best litigators in america. he has studied joe biden's tapes and records and style and ted as you know is one of the best litigators in america and pretty good at adapting to that. >> chris: have you got lines already prepared? attack lines? >> i'm not the a line guy. you know me well. i don't try to be anybody other than who i am. i believe in what i believe and i do what i do and i really believe in the policies we are. and at the end of the day i'm just going to go in there and be me. >> chris: i know you were hoping that joe biden makes one of his occasional gaffes. >> he doesn't do that in debaits. the gaffes he is kind of ledgentary for this. that is not in these situations. he is a disciplined person when speaks in these kind of situations and doesn't produce gaffes in these moments. those are when is off the cuff out given speech. >>

when joe biden goes too far, y'all back in chains? that is joe being joe. we know he is a little unstable. let's be honest. you can't control him. this is joe biden's job, that is dispense propaganda. >> heather: ford makes a good point. this is a question i have. do we not expect more from the vice president? is it a case he has done this so much that we lowered our expectations for vice president. we kind of expect him to make these comments? >> that is absolutely right. >> there are few things. first of all, i think the joe biden is the same joe biden that the president picked as his running mate in 2008. you can't say the same thing about mitt romney. mitt romney is in his sixth or seventh rebooted and joe biden is somebody who loves american people. mitt romney in that case and other times seems contentious of the very people he wants to represent. >> you can spin it any way you want it. >> i have some data, and polls, we collect polls all over the country and outlets and joe biden currently the average, he is more favorable than unfavorable and so is

before the president speaks, we'll hear from vice president joe biden. sources say he'll give an inside look in how the president made some of the toughest decisions he's faced. we know his vp has a bit a tendency to go off script. but the analysts say they expect him to stick to the teleprompter on a night as big as this one. we're hearing gabby giffords is here in charlotte. her staffers say she'll lead the crowd in the pledge of allegiance later tonight. the main event of this night and this week, for that matter, is president obama's acceptance speech. now we're getting a preview of what he plans to say. according to his campaign, he'll call this election the clearest choice of any time in a generation. he'll also say they tell us, i won't pretend, the path i'm offering is quicker easier. i never have. you didn't elect me to tell you what you wanted to hear. you elected me, he will say, to tell you the truth, and the truth is it will take more than a few years for us to solve challenges that have built up over decades. his republican rival, mitt romn

today's snapshot, joe biden in a diner. now for some, this is just another example of the loveable lug. that is mr. heartbeat away. i see it as a metaphor for the state of our country. here you have jocular joe, representing the happy-go-lucky administration. it's what me worry on cealis. job numbers are irrelevant when you have rhetoric and scarlet johanson by his side. the lady in his lap? that is the media. as long as they avoid direct eye contact they can sit there all day. charlie mccarthy to edgar burgen. you wonder where joe's hand is at. what about these guys? that is the american people and their worried faces say it all. the country is in crisis and you're doing this in front of everyone. have you lost your marbles? maybe there is an explanation. remember clint eastwood said about obama, the seat is vacant. biden is saying so what? empty chair has its privileges or he's discovered a new jobs plan. furniture. or maybe biden was practicing playing santa claus. you know the fairy tale guy that brings you free stuff w

you know, joe biden's thing is he is average joe from scranton. i think in that way, he was very successful, very persuasive tonight. >> brit. e >> in you know, he spoke with a certain conviction. it's always difficult to assess while watching in the hall, even though we can see tv screens, how it's playing on television of but it did see seem to me, the times that roused the audience, he seemed to be shouting and angry. anger is something you have to deal with very carefully on television. if you come through as -- as he seemed he may have, as an angry, angry politician, i am sure that goes down well and makes the case effectively. that would be my thought. >> let me ask you -- >> go ahead. >> we heard from senator kerry and vice-president biden the tribute to the troops, specifically. >> that was an opening left wide by the fact that mitt romney did not mention that in his speech. there were plenty said about it in tampa generally. but that was an opening that they took advantage of and it was politically shrewd to do so. >> what do you make of

[cheering] >> and joe biden... joe biden did a great job with both! [cheering] >> president obama -- appointed several members of his cabinet, even though they supported hillary in the primary. heck... he even appointed hillary! [cheering] >> i am very proud of her. i am proud of the job she and the national security team have done for americans -- [cheering] >> i am grateful that they have worked together to make it safer and stronger to build a world with more partnerships and fewer enemies. i am grateful for the relationship of respect and partnership she and the president have enjoy and the signal that sens to the rest of the world that democracy does not have to be a blood sport, it can be an honorable enterprise that advances the public interest. [cheering] besides the national security team, i am very grateful to the men and women who served our count in uniform through these perilous times and i am especially grateful to michelle obam -- and to joe biden for supporting those military families while their loved ones were overseas. and...: for s

i love joe biden. i do love him. he's a good guy and provided us a heck of amount of material for this show this year and i'm sure he will be self-deprecating and deliver great lines hopefully like this one from earlier in the year. >> timeless advice from teddy roosevelt. speak softly and carry a big stick. end of quote. i promise you the president has a big stick. >> dana: i laugh about that every day. >> greg: i don't get it. could you explain it to me? >> dana: no. you have to figure it out on your own. >> andrea: that might be the most effective line to reach out to single women. >> dana: one of my favorite days in politics. >> bob: anyway. >> dana: i am looking forward to it. it will be good. >> bob: i think he will essentially be introducing the president. joe when he is on script, i would suspect he will be kept on script, but somebody said cal thomas my partner, column said that biden is the clint eastwood of the democratic national convention. i don't think it is going to be like that. it stays on point. ma

, delaware's own joe biden, our vice president a relentless focus on middle class, high quality jobs. expanding access to health care. making our financial system more fair and transparent. fighting for the very things that have made the american middle class so strong in the past. that is message that resonates with folks looking for work. folks who are looking for better work and looking to hang on to jobs they have. we have had 29 straight months of job growth. bill: some of those workers say the keystone pipeline was a greatp example how you create good union jobs. i have 10 seconds left. give you last word. >> in my home state of delaware we came together to reopen a oil refinery to restore hundreds of union jobs. in general the platform of the democratic party is strongly embraced about organized labor because it is about fighting for our middle class. bill: senator, thank you throughout the week. chris cans, thank you, sir. martha? martha: there is a lot of buzz about this. the relationship between president obama and the clintons has as you been a very complex one. word a form

the reason is joe biden and barack obama are not in this aren a. they will not show up until thursday and they will show up and only be in the football stadium. here in the arena why where they will do business with michele obama and wednesday with bill clinton. not nearly the same level of security that we are going to see thursday on the football stadium. >> will mitt romney be the bump in the polls and will it be a 6-8 point bump? >> there is one tracking poll out today and inicates a 5 point bump. he went in the convention two points behind obama . how's about three points ahead. that is only one tracking poll. i don't think anybody will get the bounce they used to. back starting in recently as 2004, you would have an outparty and the party that didn't have the incumbent president in july and it was a full month until the incumbent party held theirs and it was time for people to listen to thes and momentum to build up. with the republicans they held it and ended it thursday night and they are already here in charlotte already and it starts tues

joe biden spent quite a bit of time over the weekend. he's had some kodak moments, if you will, that have been splashed across the scene. seems like he's getting friendly with voters in ohio. he's going to be back on wednesday. how important is the vice president on wednesday? he's giving this woman a kiss on the lips. that's pretty close, joe. >> i'm glad you brought that up, i was traveling with the vice president to some of these places, and a perfect example of just the challenge and also his popularity that they face was saturday. he went to this pizza shop in a very small town that was half empty, and within five minutes of him being there, it was packed wall to wall with people that just want to see him and shake his hand and get their picture taken with him, and he's so good at that, the vice president is. but at the same time, then when you talk to some people who just got their picture taken with him and ask do you support the president and the vice president politically, sometimes the answer was, no, and other times the answer

is biden just on the loose? he is like girls gone wild, but it is joe biden's gone wild. did you see what i did there? a lot of people don't do that. they don't see that you can take the thing gone wild and put it on something else. >> i know. and you can call lots of things the perfect storm. >> that's true, that's true. >> now we are entering a slippery slope. >> i think biden was inspired as we all were by abortion night at the democratic national convention. they were calling for us to pay for contraception, and then to top it off, they had an actual felonious forcible rapist speak. >> hey, hey, hey. my daughter's name is felonious. be careful how you use that word. call me, felonious. i don't know where you are. >>> as teachers strike, kids bike. chicago teachers, are there any other kind, walked off the job on monday after negotiate -- negotiations broke down giving 350,000 children a day off for quiet reflection, presumably, in a city where the average teacher's salary is over $4 million a year. both sides agree the walkout is not primarily about money. the union i

>>neil: in the meantime you will play paul ryan for joe biden, practicing for the debate. how is that going? >>guest: well, look, we're going to get started in around of -- in earnest soon. i know how paul likes do present those issues on national policy and foreign policy, and i could be of some help. >>neil: republicans are salivating that the vice president is a loose canon. you think republicans are getting ahead of themselves. >>guest: the vice president speaks from the heart. he is the first to say there are times when he has misspoken but what the american people necessity from joe biden he may have the title "vice president," but he is the guy who always is looking out for the average joe. he is known for that. he will come through. >>neil: thank you, congressman . >> the thinking was being in a right-to-work state so soon as it did after losing a crucial recall election in wisconsin, unions could be a little bit more humble, a little bit more quiet coming to the convention. that consensus was wrong, very strong. far from being in retreat mode, unions are energized

i thought joe biden's came off more genuine and much more, i don't know, just real. specific examples and anecdotes. i likeed it. i thought it was familiar and nice. with obama i was expecting something really special, and spectacular. i remember when i first saw him speak at the dnc years ago and everybody was so moved by him. now what is he going to do? no substance there whatsoever. his wife gave a better speech than him. biden gave a better speech than he did. clinton by far, gave a better speech than him. why did he do that? he set himself up for a fail and gave no one a reason to vote for him again and yet change their mind. >> dana: did you see the excuses today, president obama decided to dial down the speech a little bit so it wouldn't as good, or some criticism. that was a doozie. book one thing for sure some people listen because gallup is out today as i said before, he is six points ahead of romney. listen to this, whether you like what obama said or not, i think he should have been more specific, but you look at him and put mitt romney next to him and re

hmm. >> brian: remember when joe biden made this blunder? >> three letter word j-o-bhs. >> brian: president obama giving him a run for his money. >> with three proud words, made in the usa. >> brian: a little different. so there is his new 57 states. >> steve: i about the he meant made in america, which he has said in the past. donald trump is a proud american examine joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: so both the conventions, each the parties wound up with their candidates getting bumps. what do you make of it? >> the democrats got a much bigger bump, unfortunately. and they ran a very good convention. let's face it. i think the republican convention, first of all, was hurt by the hurricane or lack of hurricane, hurricane never really hit heavy in tampa. but i guess they had to do what they do. but the fact is that the democrats gave a great convention. there is no question about it. >> gretchen: what do you make of the media coverage? or you're looking at it straightforward if you watched fox or prime time covera

folks that that is since joe biden's famous remarks, the shackle remarks. what was close to 4-point obama lead over mitt romney has become dead even. form governor wilder is not surprised. the first african-american governor in the nation is joining me right new. governor, good to have you. why are you here, by the way, governor? >>guest: i teach school of government and public affairs at virginia commonwealth university, school has started and i'm a professor this week. >>neil: all right. so it is not as if you were not envieded or you are in a snit with the party, that is not the case? >>guest: no, you not at all. >>neil: do you find it interesting, and it could be coincidental, virginia is more in play for republicans, a crucial state that president obama took four years ago, after biden's memorable remarks that stuck in your craw, obviously, and it, really, seems to have stuck in a lot of people in virginia, their craw, what do you think of how that contributes to this state being a toss >>guest: it plight -- might have. i always thought it would be a c

i was thinking why is it so much softer here, and the reason is because joe biden and barack obama are never going to be in this arena. they're not going to show up here till thursday and they're going to show up and only be in the football stadium. so, here the at the arena where they are he' going to do business, news, with michelle obama, wednesday, as we mentioned with bill clinton, not nearly the same level of security as we're going to see on thursday at the football stadium. >> mike: will mitt romney get a bump in the polls and if so, the traditional 6, 8, 10 point bump? >> well, there's one tracking poll out today and an indicates about a 5 point bump that he went into the convention about 2 points behind obama, and he's now about 3 points ahead. but that's only one tracking poll. you know, i don't think anybody's going to get the bounce that they used to get. remember, it's back starting in-- as recently as 2004, you'd have the out party, the party that didn't have the incumbent president would hold the convenes in july and a whole month until the incumbent party held their co

joe biden? michelle malkin is here with the results of a brand-new poll and it could spell trouble with a capital t with a guy who would like to one day be president. hour two for thursday commences immediately >> gretchen: good morning, everyone. live from charlotte in what looks to be a beautiful day, even though the big speech for president obama was canceled tonight in the outdoor arena because of the threat of rain in the afternoon. we'll have to see how that plays out. they had make a decision, they did it. some people said maybe it was because they couldn't get enough people there. but whatever you believe, the speech will be indoors right over there tonight instead. >> brian: the chance of rain had to be brought up when they decided to do it outdoors and decided to take the risk. i feel sorry for all those people who descended on the city. it's thousands of people who have nowhere to go tonight. >> gretchen: a lot of people were going to be bussed in. maybe they're not going to be bussed

i don't know, that was strained conjuelty that's a disto joe biden. >> joe biden normally would have spoken this night. he is not the most super star surrogate speaker or the kibitzer in chief as clinton. what clinton can say on behalf of barack obama, is he going to make the case that barack obama shares the same philosophy about the economy that bill clinton had and which led to clinton's success and if you just give barack obama more time it will produce similar results in essence. >> bill: all right. i don't know. the two of them ran a totally different economic profile. all right. well, we will listen. >> very true. >> bill: okay, roberts. we asked to you try to figure out and we had gotten word earlier that it was barack obama who ordered the changes made in the platform that god be reinserted, the word. and that jerusalem be inserted into it would be the capital of israel. is that true? is that what you found out. >> yeah, that's absolutely true. at one point barack obama said why was the word god taken out of the platform in the first place in the more difficult question to a

so who is going to help joe biden, the vice president warm up in the bullpen? democratic congressman chris van hollen is the guy and he works with congressman paul ryan and he's my guest this morning. good to see you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: so you're going to warm up joe biden in the bullpen. some people would say that could be a tough job. >> listen, joe biden knows these issues very well, from the domestic policy, foreign policy issues, i sit next to paul ryan every day in the budget committee. i know how he likes to present the arguments. i hope i can be of some use to the vice president in that area. >> gretchen: would you admit since you know paul ryan, that he is a good debater? >> i think paul is a good debater. the question is the use of facts on the budget. i think we'll hear a lot more about that as we know in his acceptance speech, there was a lot of fact checking going on the next day. so i think it's going to be important to hold people to the facts as we go through these debates. >> gretchen: many the counter to that is joe biden's gaffes,

we're waiting for vice president joe biden. he will be speaking at shanksville moments away and the next moment of silence that marks the fall of the last tower thing i notice when i speak to you about it, you're invested in this place. it is sort of has a sort of stolen a piece of your heart. and, that's why i'm confident that all that you plan will happen. patrick, you're keeping the flame alive and, keeping families together, is my experience, i imagine you all find solace in seeing one another. there is nothing like being able to talk with someone who you know, you know understands and, it is an honor. call families. wish you weren't here. wish we didn't have to commemorate any of this. it is. bittersweet moment for the entire nation. for all of the country. particularly for those family members gathered here today. last year the nation and. all of family members want to try to crack it? yeah, that's the way to do it! now we need a little bit more... a little bit more vanilla? this is great!
