[0:03] A day of chaos in Washington as the
[0:05] budget stalemate drags on for another
[0:08] day.
[0:09] And Florida Republicans vote in the
[0:11] straw poll that may help narrow the
[0:13] presidential field.
[0:16] This is the CBS Evening News.
[0:22] And this is Bob Schieffer reporting.
[0:24] Good evening. Republican leaders revived
[0:26] efforts tonight to find a compromise
[0:28] with the White House that will get the

[1:10] negotiations, and I hope we can resolve
[1:13] the
[1:14] the current um and
[1:16] partial government shutdown.
[1:18] >> On the floor of the House, tempers
[1:19] flared as Republicans blamed the
[1:21] president for wavering on his own
[1:23] timetable for balancing the budget.
[1:25] >> We heard 9 years and 8 years.
[1:27] Well, my colleagues were here tonight
[1:30] >> the little bugger down.
[1:32] And that's the purpose of this.
