ace vice presidential list and some tom top contenders attended retreat this weekend. one thing we did learn officially it seems national review listed paul ryan was asked it to turn over papers. i don t think we re surprised. they really hit it off during the wisconsin primary and dpot their geek on. we have to be very careful here. what is vetting? is vetting going on behind the scenes and public research records and stuff. you hand off tax returns, i think that s the definition? if you hand over papers that were private. you know, that s the motivations for, you know, folks being asked to hand over papers and people agreeing to hand over papers. we don t know who is considered orntd. it seems that the romney campaign is trying to use they use this as a way of
earmarks as they promised orntd. finally government shutdown. those words enter the vocabulary again up here. some who are more conservative, this new young blood type thing republicans would be smart to shut down the government rather than pass a large budget to try and keep costs contained. of course, those republicans have been around a while, fredricka. you might remember this. you all remember the 1995 shutdown where republicans by and large lost points and established republicans don t want that to happen. there could be a fight even over the idea of a government shutdown among republicans. many are fast forwarding past november. it s depending on the outcome. never too soon for power struggle. that s true. we run through a couple of big committees that folks at home should pay attention to.
but both found time to come to the iowa politics, the fair. you can strike up a conversation with anyone that shows you they are good at retail campaign. there is fair going do s and don t s. it s hot. so the right clothes are important. one wore shore sleeves but that s not his shirt. it s mine. tom is a fox satellite truck operators and he bumped into giuliani in the men s room while he wonderd what to do about the long sleeve silk shirt. he said you do not need to do that and i said you need this worse than i do. and he got the shirt back. shoes are porntd. fred thompson has gucci shoes. unlike iowa. do help yourself to treats but
the issue of charlie rangel, there does not appear to be a deal moving forward. there are report that is some republicans want an ethics trials. what s your view on him stepping down? if the allegations are true, he should step down from congress. only xharly rangel knows if that s the case. we re in the trial phase ritd now. the opportunity for a settlement when two republicans and two democrats on the subcommittee were examining these charges has gone by the boards. i really do believe that we ought to let charlie rangel have his day in court and let the process work. harold, there s a lot of pressure on him from the white house down. what s the talk up in new york city? in new york he continues to enjoy support from big and porntd quarters. he had a birthday party last night, which i understand mayor bloomberg said he was going to attend. a lot of other supporters did not go. some others did not go. mike is about right on this.
