Bob Hedlund

The one the only Bobby Hedlund -- Minneapolis Saint Paul as the RNC is deaths is scheduled to get back on track with Lieberman tops and another popular is going to be right there and look at magic has -- I thought I haven't gotten it right here on the front lines frontline report from Bob Hedlund -- Bob. I Tom I don't know about back on track I think general.

Senator it's good to have you aboard giving only interesting things speaking and -- syllables this morning. From the angry about it.

Bobby -- you know they had to they they really could not do the politics as usual routine. Yesterday during the day than yesterday evening not with -- and the Katrina. Aftermath you know the Katrina memories even though you don't feel as if it's been on track at all was there any other choice for the -- leaders to make.

Well not only that because the Pailin thing to throw added that exclude some -- serious seriously I think. Other -- they could do it was the first eight I'm not a I'm not exactly -- veteran of these things so idol the first day normally is like but.

First say all is normally. Very very boring housekeeping and -- about eight and if the president and open about it happens to be -- that party. And the amber and speeches begin he's great he's great he's great until 10 o'clock and then somebody comes at them. Is this kind of blow you away and -- that happened last night.

Right I think in that sense I think the Republicans like double that. You know it all that out of the way and I don't think not at not having watched. Present for all -- he's great great great used put a bad thing -- and he -- Dogs that bush bullet. I think we did and I think -- means but to bullet also and what that allows us to let you know not fresh bite -- thing. On track back on track process.

Do you expect anything special. Anything anything that you are looking far in particular from either Fred Thompson or Joe Lieberman tonight's keynote speakers.

Don't necessarily I think you're going to see what you saw on the campaign. We do have we invest delegation has breakfast -- Babbitt today that should be addressed.

That's great fun you know you gotta pay for breakfast I hear he's completely out of money he you know he wasted -- I call you -- and -- present. -- and a city just put in. I don't know how much money ten militants. Just be selected vice president. That's got.

All want money. He's still working out of the petty cash.

once I keep forgetting to crooked Democrat you know week -- week we come a little cans and bottles and -- and.

Bob we're curious we've talked to you tomorrow I'm dead serious about this because you know whatever whatever the conversation. It is with Mitt Romney at breakfast this morning that's not going to make it into. In either newspapers back here will look forward to chat with the tomorrow about. Anything you know eat any insights into the exciting that -- can share with it as well as a very frank discussion on Lieberman and Thompson. When we would we hooked up with you tomorrow one and in the aftermath because. You know you're an interesting guy Indian differed with -- body and a whole variety of things but I think you're -- he has some Sturm and -- tonight from particularly Lieberman. On the Afghanistan Iraq issue separating himself from his old body the Democrat. And you know speak it may -- to some guys like you were a little bit skeptical of these claims.

Right and not the other interest think -- today is the big guy Ron Paul -- how and -- all right have added a huge visible presence. This city I mean they get people into all the countries helping this -- that are running training seminars. If people and Ron Wallace actually go into well into the convention hall on Wednesday.

At this point -- all -- would be very happy some. They let him speak and there's going to be kind of of a movement. To allow him at some time occasional art. He had -- endorsed. John -- and at the -- but I think the McCain people have been a little bit. Mole in a sense with this huge turnout on this -- nice sort of mind. Well the -- that president. The -- yes they were at -- There was some discussions between those two camps so we'll see out of.

Yeah actually -- I've got my own assignment if you don't mind other irons. Tomorrow when we check in with you senator if you could find out the real scoop. On. How women feel about -- him.

I have a art and -- anyone male or female. At least amongst Republicans out here that don't like the peck.

No kidding. Unit currently yeah and it. Why did I would they be offended she's staunch Republican and you know.

Pro -- as they are alive I don't know if it's cemetery are or if the senator -- minority who are afraid that John McCain just threw away the election by picking someone with so little experience that it makes Barack Obama look like he you know he's not let's erase and -- their biggest change in Iraq. Armor was that he was an experience of foreign affairs and that's where he needs are bringing anything to the table that John McCain and.

Here's the point 12 -- and experience comes up in his in the and you try to attach it to Pailin and we say as you and I have said G two R -- to our eyes she does not seem to be prepared for the office. How can you then not make the next logical step and statement. Well into those same eyes Barack Barbara's not prepared for the office number -- gone for the number one position. Not the opposite way he has served in office I think combined arms and -- yeah.

Ideologues some carriers but irresponsible -- me go ahead Bob the -- experienced the Republican ticket needed. Was someone who represents a -- From Don young's of the world the coast he's. Eat it Ted Stevens this woman all the way and gave him McCain -- the maverick image in this woman is -- rule. Crew members took on her own party and the right thing reporter country's first state first. The kind of person Republican Party needs to demonstrate that we we get that fiscal conservative mantle back in good government -- beckoning an --

And running and it's we are male basic idea during that much -- I'm just saying it fits into that I'll be surprised at a lot of people disrespect people like me who have been in politics -- lives I do think it gives us an -- Take a look at a situation like this to say you know elections on. I think you believe it because yours you're not even have to think that Hillary supporters in oh yeah -- it's a.

I don't think that's what drives this budget ought to. -- Hillary supporters at the mall or air that's icing on the cake this just been good dynamic. Picked.

Area you know it'll be interesting. Well let's get a -- well if there's if there's snow and skeletons in the closet. After.

You know have the pregnancy -- the death does them about the pregnant senate they had above.

You know that with our guest is senator Bob -- with talk with Bob -- before about offshore drilling -- I think you've acknowledged that the democratic position on that the resistance to increasing I'm sure -- forever and probably not been a good political position for the -- If if she holds Iran and to debate a debate against Joe Biden I mean the expectation has -- six term US senate. A wealth of foreign policy a spirited that you'll do would drumbeat on her head if she holds around one that's going to be huge to -- Wait a split -- below expectation that's right way to just -- points to the gridlock in Washington on energy independence offshore drilling in the like and she points out that in her record two years as governor she's been able to push through pipelines that have been very controversial -- trying to protect and I might -- so she might be able to you know punch your way through -- subtitled into some type of a claim no question appeared to --

I'm currently -- real quick. I think with the Republicans have to watch for in the debate to -- going to preview the debate I think we need to be concerned about is that her performance against Joe -- She's going to steal the show that's my prediction yup we have worry about -- John McCain does against Iraq.

And there are three time they're content John McCain away I. -- Bobby had led back to the F theatre district appeared Minneapolis Saint Paul we'll catch up with the you'll get tomorrow. And I'll look forward to the report from the front line because that would really does that to hit the ground.
