[0:03] down, another is crowned. An awful lot

[0:05] of votes up for grabs.

[0:18] Good morning, America, and this is the

[0:20] morning after, the day before. I'm

[0:21] Charles Gibson. It is Friday, July 17th.

[0:24] >> Yes. And I'm John London. And what a

[0:25] week it has been. And all bets are off

[0:27] really now that Ross Perau has quit the

[0:29] race for the White House. The question

[0:30] this [music] morning is who will his

[0:32] supporters support next? And the

[0:35] question for Spencer is who will get

[0:36] rained on?

[0:37] >> Well, many people in the Ohio Valley

[0:38] will get rained on today, Joan. Powerful

[0:40] thunderstorms once again will plague the

[0:41] US from the Ohio Valley to the southern

[0:43] plains. These storms could produce heavy

[0:45] rainfall, gusty winds, dangerous

[0:47] lightning, and some local flooding. And

[0:49] we'll update you on those storms in just

[0:50] a moment.

[0:51] >> Thanks very much, Spencer. It was a

[0:52] momentous day yesterday in politics.

[0:55] Somebody on our staff summed it up,

[0:56] said, "Well, this day is easy to to

[0:58] figure out." Clinton talks, Perau walks.

[1:00] And we're going to spend our program

[1:02] talking about the political situation

[1:03] this morning. We'll start with a

[1:05] campaign chairman without a campaign,

[1:07] Tom Loose. He helped orchestrate Ross

[1:09] Perau's phenomenal grassroots movement.

[1:11] He was there when it fell apart as well.

[1:14] >> We also have a chance to revisit some

[1:15] Perau volunteers in Falls Church,

[1:17] Virginia, who work so hard. There's a

[1:19] shot of them there live this morning.

[1:20] They really worked hard right to the

[1:22] bitter end for Ross Perau. Denise

[1:23] Richardson talked with them yesterday.

[1:25] That was before, of course, that the big

[1:26] news hit. She is going to be back there

[1:28] today and a lot of them say that they

[1:30] are not quitting. Leading the news

[1:32] though at this hour, catching up with

[1:34] Clinton this the morning after the

[1:35] acceptance speech and Mike Schneider has

[1:37] that story. Other news of the day. Mike,

[1:38] good morning.

[1:39] >> Good morning, John. Good morning,

[1:40] everybody. They wowed him at the garden

[1:41] last night and now they are taking their

[1:43] act on the road. Bill Clinton and Al

[1:45] Gore will jump on a bus today and hit

[1:47] the campaign trail right away. They have

[1:48] already got their eyes set on November

[1:50] and on the people who have been backing

[1:52] Ross Perau. He's out. ABC's Mike Vonm

[1:55] now reports on the end of the New York

[1:56] Democratic Convention.
