WASHINGTON -- Republican leaders had all kinds of things to talk about in their first day back on Capitol Hill from their monthlong recess.
They spoke about jobs and the economy, about military spending and automatic budget cuts, about the national debt and the need for energy legislation.

But there was one thing House Republican leaders did not mention in their statements to the cameras after Tuesday morning's caucus: Mitt Romney.
They uttered 1,350 words in their opening remarks at the news conference but made no reference to the party standard-bearer who would be at the top of their ticket in just 56 days.
NBC's Luke Russert tried to help the lawmakers address this omission. "Governor Romney said that it was a bad decision for Republicans to agree to the bipartisan debt deal," he pointed out. "What's your response to him?"
House Speaker John Boehner, who negotiated the deal, looked unwell.

"I don't think there's anybody that worked harder than Eric and I to try to work with the president to come to an agreement," he said, with Majority Leader Eric Cantor standing just behind him. Boehner tried to pin the agreement's automatic cuts in defense spending on President Obama, but he ultimately defended the package: "Somehow, we have to deal with our spending problem."
