[0:00]" I think we're looking at a choice for Barack Obama early next week leading into the democratic convention starting the week after. I mean he's been away for awhile. Had plenty of time to think about whose choice might be and -- known for a long time that his team wants ever going to run out. To the convention -- nothing's definite but I would look to that window and -- from makes money to Thursday. For picked by Barack Obama more likely towards the end of the democratic convention or after democratic convention the first heir to the Republican convention for John McCain. "

[0:28]" Let's translate out of the campaign trail now we seem to see a new window dressing yet. On John McCain's trail if you noticed a younger skew in would you characterize it as such."

[0:41]" I think overall -- just running smoother operation out on the road since they got the new team in avoiding the kind of I'm helpful back traps and and and unfocused events but he said in the past. But I don't I don't necessarily see any kind of younger skew. They're clearly McCain is trying to make the most of this crisis. In Georgia between the road between the Russians and georgians also we've seen him. Out on the trail with the new escorts this week his potential vice presidential picks people like. Tom ridge of Pennsylvania maybe Tim Pawlenty and Minnesota. I know he is also thinking hard about a crossing over picking Joe Lieberman as his vice president."

[1:22]" In particular situation between Russia and Georgia have -- wait it times out at a crucial point in the trail because we've been talking long about whether or not Barack Obama. Has enough foreign expertise IDC this translated neither side of the guy."

[1:46]" I'm a -- on this issues Senator McCain does look at depression he's been warning for a long time about. How aggressive and dangerous Russia has become. As they've been feeling their -- lately on the world stage and it certainly is born and this crisis."
