Rich discussed a shooting on Capitol Hill, Hillary Clinton's aide wants Bernie Sanders to change his tone and Donald Trump explains his sexist comments.

Seifer at 4:30 and Roger Stone at 5pm.

He also spoke with Erika Clemens from AFP-NJ, Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, Chip Sebastian from STING, and foreign policy analyst Ed Turzanski.
Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that keeping Democratic control of the chamber would "break the back of the hard right" and ease gridlock in Washington.
"We want to get into some other issues that we weren't really able to get into under the Tea Party banner," says president Teri Adams.
Chris breaks down Hillary Clinton's ongoing political problems, the IRS claiming they've lost two years worth of emails from Lois Lerner, and Atlantic City's promotion of an LGBT beach.
The Tea Party upset not only knocks out House speaker John Boehner's top lieutenant, it also leaves the GOP without a Jewish member of Congress.
Former Philadelphia Eagle turned US congressman Jon Runyan has announced he will not seek re-election in 2014.
Chris examines the loss healthcare plans under Obamacare, Chris Christie's appearance on CBS This Morning, and the damage done to the Philadelphia region by calling it the "Delaware Valley."
Chris looks at who is to blame for the failures of the healthcare.gov rollout, assesses the difference in media coverage of Senators Pat Toomey and Bob Casey, and discusses the most recent media attacks on Texas Senator Ted Cruz. He also talks to Tom McGrath from Philadelphia Magazine.
No political seat is considered a safe seat. That's the message being conveyed by area Republican leaders to moderate regional congressman Jon Runyan, Pat Meehan, Mike Fitzpatrick and Jim Gerlach.
Their message was against the ongoing shutdown of much of the federal government and in favor of the onset of the latest phase of Obamacare.
One thing is certain: when the President talks, the Democrats will cheer, the Republicans will be polite. It's how many times that both sides applaud that will tell you if real compromise is possible.
Former House Republican Leader Dick Armey criticized GOP candidates for saying "stupid things," but here is one problem: The 2012 candidates were talking about Republican policy.
I find interest in the circus surrounding people in the fifty states of the Union petitioning to secede from the United States since President Barack Obama was reelected two weeks ago, I'll be the first to admit that any state seceding from the Union is a terrible idea.
If Republicans, as a political party, continue this hostility toward science then they do not understand the driving force that science and innovation play in our economy. It also is another proof point in the case that Democrats made about Republican math not adding up.
The day after the voters spoke in our democracy, Republicans sought to set aside the results and focus on winning next time. It is not just a losing proposition for Republicans, it is a losing proposition for America.
The 2012 presidential campaign between President Obama and Mitt Romney will be book-ended by hurricanes.
Once again, a Republican politician has said something extreme about rape. Extreme and extremely stupid.
Hillary Clinton is a glowing example of the heights women are reaching in the United States in recent times. She contradicts the notion thrust forth by President Obama and his political party that there is an alleged-"War on Women".
While Trump may have an "October surprise" that will destroy President Obama's reelection campaign for the White House, I don't think it's going to be much more than seeing Trump get the headlines for part of the day, again.
Romney is lucky that people grabbed on to the "binders full of women" comment because his comment about giving his female Chief of Staff flex time so she could go home and cook dinner was mostly over looked.
The two presidential candidates were asked a question by CBS Local about Obamacare vs. Romneycare and asked them to talk about the similarities or differences between the two plans.
"Some girls rape easy." Those are the shocking words of Roger Rivard, a Republican state representative in Wisconsin previously endorsed by Paul Ryan.
Romney might say he won't restrict a woman's right to choose, but his message is clearly coded for his rightwing base: you do not have to worry about the Supreme Court. Relax, I'm with you, but I'm running for president for Pete's sake.
