4. |
| 00:07:21 |
|
DOWN THE TUBES. |
| 00:07:24 |
|
UNSTABLE. |
| 00:07:27 |
|
[INAUDIBLE] |
| 00:07:41 |
|
OPTIMISM. |
| 00:07:44 |
|
I THINK IT IS NOT LOOKING GOOD. |
| 00:07:48 |
|
NOT AS BAD AS IT WOULD SEEM. |
| 00:07:52 |
|
CHAOTIC. |
| 00:07:54 |
|
WHY? |
| 00:07:59 |
|
DUWAIK UP EVERY MORNING AND MAKE THE MISTAKE OF TURNING ON THE TELEVISION. IT IS ALL THAT IS TALKED... |
| 00:08:14 |
|
WHAT WAS YOUR WORD? |
| 00:08:16 |
|
FRUSTRATION. |
| 00:08:17 |
|
WHY? |
| 00:08:21 |
|
PROBABLY THE INSTABILITY. HE TURNED ON THE TV IN YOU HEAR ALL BAD NEWS AND YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING... |
| 00:08:41 |
|
I DO NOT WATCH THE NEWS ANYMORE. WE LIVE IN A GREAT COUNTRY BUT IF YOU TURN ON THE NEWS AND IT IS... |
| 00:08:54 |
|
AND YOU SAID NOT AS BAD. |
| 00:08:57 |
|
I GUESS I AM TRYING TO BE OPTIMISTIC. I JUST THINK IT IS SOMETHING WE WILL GET THROUGH. |
| 00:09:09 |
|
ARE WE GOING TO GET THROUGH? |
| 00:09:12 |
|
I THINK WE HAVE TO BE PATIENT AND NOT REACT TO EVERYTHING SO QUICK. YOU JUST NEED TO ROLL WITH THE... |
| 00:09:35 |
|
AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY WHAT IS GOING ON -- HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DIRECTLY AFFECTED?... |
| 00:09:54 |
|
HOW MANY HANDS? I HAVE NINE HANDS. |
| 00:10:05 |
|
I GUESS THE LOSS OF INVESTMENTS AND MONEY IN THAT SENSE. I DID LOSE MY JOB A FEW AGO DUE TO CUT BACK... |
| 00:10:22 |
|
I HAVE BEEN A TEACHER IN THE PAST AND I HAVE A RETIREMENT FUND AND PART OF MY PLAN HAS BEEN INVESTED... |
| 00:10:40 |
|
TO SAY THAT IS DIRECTLY AFFECTING YOU, UNLESS THAT IS COMING IN AS INCOME THAT WILL AFFECT ME AND... |
| 00:11:23 |
|
I AM DRAWING MY ATTENTION SO IT IS AFFECTING ME. IT IS A DECREASE. |
| 00:11:33 |
|
HOW IS IT CHANGING YOUR LIFE? |
| 00:11:37 |
|
I DO NOT DO MUCH ANY MORE LIKE I USED TO DO. BY SPENDING IS MINIMAL. I TRY TO KEEP IT DOWN TO WHAT... |
| 00:11:49 |
|
I AM NOT AFFECTED. |
| 00:11:52 |
|
BECAUSE? |
| 00:11:57 |
|
I TOOK OUT MY 401K TO PAY FOR MY HOUSE AND SO IT WAS PAID FOR. I'M CHRIS RAISED BY PARENTS WHO DID... |
| 00:12:23 |
|
LET ME ASK A DIFFERENT QUESTION? HOW DID YOU GET HERE, AS THE COUNTRY? |
| 00:12:34 |
|
I THINK THE BIG PART OF IT IS LACK OF EDUCATION. I DON'T THINK THAT WE HAVE THE ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF... |
| 00:13:05 |
|
MARY, HOW DID WE GET HERE? |
| 00:13:09 |
|
@ THINK A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH LOANS. PEOPLE ARE LIVING THE GOOD LIFE AND THEY THINK THE MONEY... |
| 00:13:24 |
|
HAD DID WE GET HERE, STEVE? |
| 00:13:33 |
|
LOANS, LIKE SHE WAS SAYING, LIVING ABOVE YOUR MEANS. |
| 00:13:44 |
|
IT SOUNDS LIKE IS OUR FAULT AND WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO OURSELVES. HOW MUCH IS US AND HOW MUCH ARE THE... |
| 00:13:57 |
|
CORPORATE GREED AND LACK OF CONTROL BY THE GOVERNMENT. THE POLITICIANS TODAY DO NOT LOOK FOR THE GOOD,... |
| 00:14:26 |
|
I THINK THEY ALLOWED -- THE BANKING SYSTEM WHEN THEY ARE EVALUATING CREDIT, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE CREDIT... |
| 00:15:07 |
|
PART OF IT IS US AND PART OF ITS IS POLITICIANS, WE ARE ALL GUILTY. |
| 00:15:12 |
|
HOW MANY AGREE? HALF OF US AGREE. |
| 00:15:21 |
|
WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN ACTIONS. PEOPLE HAVE LOST SIGHT OF WHAT IS IMPORTANT. IT HAS BECOME... |
| 00:16:02 |
|
ON YOUR YELLOW PIECE OF PAPER HERE, RIGHT DOWN IF YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT.... |
| 00:16:47 |
|
THE SYSTEM IS NOT SET UP AS IT WAS. I AM ONLY 20 YEARS OLD. I CANNOT HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, BUT... |
| 00:17:37 |
|
I THINK IT IS GOING TO TAKE ALL LOT OF GUTS FOR US TO TURN IT AROUND. |
| 00:17:45 |
|
HELP? |
| 00:17:48 |
|
WE WILL HAVE TO TIGHTEN OUR BELTS. IT CORPORATE AMERICA TO GET ON LINE WITH US. IT IS GOING TO TAKE... |
| 00:18:08 |
|
YOU DISAGREE? WHY? |
| 00:18:17 |
|
A LOT OF WHAT HE SAID -- THEY DO NOT HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES. THINGS ARE SO DIFFERENT. I HAD... |
| 00:18:52 |
|
I DISAGREE. THEY DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAD. WE HAD SO MANY. EVEN THOUGH YOU OPEN UP... |
| 00:19:33 |
|
NEXT GENERATION BETTER OFF? |
| 00:19:37 |
|
I HAVE OPTIMISM. I DID NOT THINK IT WAS LIKE AND HOW IT WASN'T UP HARRIS GOT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND... |
| 00:20:26 |
|
WE WILL BE HANDING THE BATON BACKWARDS OR FORWARDS? |
| 00:20:31 |
|
THAT IS A GOOD ONE. I BELIEVE IT WILL BE BACKWARDS. WE ARE SO FAR BEHIND IN EVERYTHING. LIKE EVERYBODY... |
| 00:21:25 |
|
TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE THINKING. |
| 00:21:31 |
|
I'D LIKE TO THINK WE SHOULD PASS THE BATON FOR. I HAVE A SIX SURE OLD DAUGHTER AND I THINK IT IS MY... |
| 00:22:10 |
|
ANYBODY ELSE? |
| 00:22:22 |
|
BACKE IN THE MANUFACTURING -- THERE WERE SOME LAYPEOPLE THAT WERE LOSING THEIR JOBS AND TOLD THEY... |
| 00:22:33 |
|
THE REASON? |
| 00:22:35 |
|
THEY SAID WE ARE DISCLOSING IT DOWN BECAUSE THERE WERE NO JOBS. |
| 00:22:40 |
|
HOW MANY PEOPLE KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN LAID OFF? MOST PEOPLE. OK. I AM GOING TO SWITCH SUBJECTS.... |
| 00:22:57 |
|
I THINK IT IS OUR MIND SET. IF WE THINK WE'RE POINT-OF-SALE, THE CHANCES ARE WE WILL. IF WE THINK... |
| 00:23:16 |
|
THE ONE TO TALK ABOUT THE CHOICES YOU HAVE BUT TO BEGIN WITH. I LOVE YOUR HONEST ASSESSMENT THAT COMPARED... |
| 00:24:24 |
|
I THINK THERE IS MORE OPTIMISM IN THE CAMPAIGN. THERE IS ALSO A LOT MORE ATTENTION. |
| 00:24:34 |
|
THERE IS A LOT OF ATTENTION. . NOTHING I HAVE SEEN SINCE 1968. |
| 00:24:47 |
|
IT FEELS LIKE A DIFFERENT TERRITORY. THERE'S A DIFFERENT FEEL TO THIS. THE DEBATES HAVE BEEN OVER ... |
| 00:25:14 |
|
HOW DO YOU FEEL? |
| 00:25:19 |
|
THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION OUT THERE FOR EVERYBODY. THEY ARE DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF TRYING... |
| 00:25:33 |
|
WHAT IS YOUR FEELING? IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU COMPARE IT TO 2004, AND YOU FEEL LIKE IT IS A BETTER... |
| 00:25:53 |
|
THEY ARE GETTING THE WORD OUT AND THEY HAD EVERYBODY TALKING ABOUT IT. I DON'T REMEMBER BACK WITH ... |
| 00:26:03 |
|
TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE THINKING? |
| 00:26:09 |
|
HAL I WAS INTERPRETING IT IS THERE IS MORE EXPOSURE AND THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE INTO IT, BUT THE QUALITY... |
| 00:26:42 |
|
I PUT THE SAME FOR THE SAKS SAME REASONS. YOU ASK THEM ON HEALTH CARE AND THEY DANCE AROUND IT AND... |
| 00:27:01 |
|
ANYBODY ELSE? |
| 00:27:13 |
|
THE MUDSLINGING HAS BEEN RIDICULOUS. JUST LIKE THE ISSUES, IT IS LIKE, WHO IS TELLING THE TRUTH AND... |
| 00:27:39 |
|
HOW MANY PEOPLE SAY I FOLLOWED THIS CAMPAIGN MORE CLOSELY THAN OTHER CAMPAIGNS? THERE IS MORE INTEREST... |
| 00:27:58 |
|
I THINK THEY ARE GOING AROUND AND AROUND ON THE ISSUES. THEY DON'T TELL US WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO... |
| 00:28:11 |
|
HERE IS MY QUESTION. 12 PEOPLE AT A TABLE AND WE RECRUITED YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT HARDCORE PARTISANS... |
| 00:28:57 |
|
I AM NOT LOCKED IN. |
| 00:29:03 |
|
BETWEEN NOW AND ELECTION DAY WHEN I GO TO THE POLLING BOOTH, MY MIND CAN GO ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.... |
| 00:29:51 |
|
PROBABLY MORE RESEARCH OR SOMEBODY TELLING ME THE THINGS THAT I NEED TO HEAR THAT OUR POINT TO MAKE... |
| 00:30:00 |
|
WHAT YOU NEED TO HEAR? |
| 00:30:03 |
|
I NEED THE HEALTH ISSUES EXPLAINED TO ME. I AM RETIRED AND I AM -- I CANNOT QUALIFY FOR MEDICARE GET.... |
| 00:30:20 |
|
OK. WHAT WILL HELP YOU TO HELP YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION? |
| 00:30:30 |
|
I THINK I WILL BE WATCHING TELEVISION LESS AND READING THE PAPER MORE. I STILL WANT TO UNDERSTAND... |
| 00:31:34 |
|
BRANDY, YOU ARE STILL OPEN? WHY? WHAT YOU NEED TO LEARN? |
| 00:31:43 |
|
I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR PLAN DOES FOR A PERSON MIGHT TAX BRACKET. ALSO, THE EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT.... |
| 00:33:15 |
|
EXCELLENT. AND NICE ANSWER. JASON. HE SAID THAT YOU HAVE NOT MADE YOUR FINAL DECISION. |
| 00:33:29 |
|
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HOW THEY WILL IMPROVE EDUCATION. I AM BIG ON HELPING CHILDREN. I... |
| 00:33:51 |
|
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY FROM THE HIGHS PERSON TO THE LOWS PERSON IN THE COUNTRY TO HAVE... |
| 00:34:08 |
|
TO YOU FIND YOURSELF OPEN ON THESE QUESTIONS TO MAKING YOUR FINAL DECISION. |
| 00:34:14 |
|
ALSO, THE ECONOMY. PEOPLE CONSTANTLY USE THE WORD CHANGE. WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT. A FEW OF THE PEOPLE... |
| 00:34:44 |
|
ARE YOU OPEN? TELL ME -- |
| 00:34:57 |
|
THE CANDIDATES HAVE NOT TOLD US WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO. WHEN THEY WERE DEBATING BY THEMSELVES,... |
| 00:37:31 |
|
AGREE OR DISAGREE IF YOU ARE TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT JOE THE PLUMBER. DO WE HAVE A PLUMBER IN HERE?... |
| 00:37:54 |
|
I WANT TO GO AROUND THE ROOM AND I WILL START WITH WILLIAM HERE AND I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHO YOU... |
| 00:38:32 |
|
IN VOTING FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE HAS THE FRESHER AND IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO GET THIS COUNTRY GOING IN DIFFERENT... |
| 00:39:36 |
|
UNDECIDED. |
| 00:39:40 |
|
AND YOU GIVE US WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. |
| 00:39:47 |
|
I AM LEANING TOWARDS MCCAIN AND THE REASON IS FOR A FEW THINGS. THE RELIGIOUS AND FAYED ISSUES I CAN... |
| 00:40:35 |
|
I THINK IT IS DEALING WITH THE ENERGY ISSUE. MCCAIN MAY HAVE A SLIGHT EDGE THERE BECAUSE BEING MORE... |
| 00:41:02 |
|
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH EVERYTHING. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:41:09 |
|
I DO NOT SEE A LOT OF |
| 00:41:10 |
|
THANK YOU. |
| 00:41:24 |
|
I AM LEANING TOWARDS MCCAIN. I THINK HE IS A STRONG MILITARY LEADER. HE HAS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. ... |
| 00:41:53 |
|
I WILL PROBABLY LEANS TOWARDS OBAMA. |
| 00:41:58 |
|
WHY? |
| 00:42:00 |
|
YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW MY OPINION ABOUT THE WAR IN IRAQ. |
| 00:42:04 |
|
IT'S OK. |
| 00:42:07 |
|
KNOW, REALLY. |
| 00:42:09 |
|
I DON'T THINK WE REALLY NEED TO BE THERE. I THINK IT IS ALL ABOUT MONEY. THE ONLY TIME WE HAD A TERRORIST... |
| 00:42:30 |
|
I AM ALSO OBAMA. I KNOW YOU GUYS DON'T LIKE THE WORD CHANGE BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE. THE REPUBLICANS... |
| 00:43:05 |
|
I WILL VOTE FOR MCCAIN. I DON'T CARE FOR EITHER ONE OF THEM. I FEEL MORE SECURE WITH JOHN MCCAIN... |
| 00:43:55 |
|
GRETCHEN? |
| 00:43:59 |
|
AL LEAN MORE TOWARDS OBAMA. I AM WITH MICHELLE. IT IS TIME FOR A NEW FRESH PERSON TO GET IN THERE... |
| 00:44:43 |
|
ROUTE? |
| 00:44:46 |
|
I AM LEANING TOWARDS MCCAIN BECAUSE CHECKS AND BALANCES. YOU HAD THE SAME THING WITH THE REPUBLICANS.... |
| 00:45:11 |
|
I HAVE BEEN A DEMOCRAT FOR 40 YEARS AND I AM TRULY UNDECIDED. THIS MAY BE THE YEAR THAT I CHANGE TO... |
| 00:45:44 |
|
STEVE? |
| 00:45:47 |
|
I WILL PROBABLY VOTE FOR MCCAIN BECAUSE OF HIS EXPERIENCE. JUST LIKE PEAKE AND COOKIE. |
| 00:45:57 |
|
RANDY? |
| 00:46:00 |
|
I AM LEANING TOWARDS OBAMA. I AM NOT DECIDED 100%. |
| 00:46:13 |
|
HOW MANY SAW JOHN MCCAIN ON "MEET THE PRESS?" NBC WILL BE VERY PLEASED. |
| 00:46:26 |
|
WHY? |
| 00:46:31 |
|
JUST BECAUSE I AM A WOMAN. I WAS A LIBERAL IRRITATED WITH HIS QUICK ANSWER ABOUT SARAH PALIN. I HAVE... |
| 00:48:21 |
|
GREAT. GREAT DIVERSE VIEWS. I HAVE TO COME BACK TO YOU, COKIE. I AM SCRATCHING MY HEAD. HERE IT... |
| 00:49:23 |
|
SOMETHING HERE MAKES ME FRIGHTENED ABOUT VOTING FOR OBAMA. I WAS GOING TO VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON.... |
| 00:49:39 |
|
STAY WITH US. |
| 00:49:42 |
|
HILLARY IS WHO I WANTED. I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SHE DIDN'T -- I WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR HER. THAT... |
| 00:50:53 |
|
WHERE THE COUNTRY IS THAT, PEOPLE ARE NOT VERY HAPPY. NOW IT IS COMING UP TO MAKING A CHOICE, AND... |
| 00:51:21 |
|
WE HAVE A CONGRESS THAT IS DEMOCRATS, SO IF WE BRING THAT REPUBLICAN IN WHO HAS THE DEFENSE BACKGROUND,... |
| 00:51:42 |
|
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO THINKING ABOUT VOTING FOR JOHN MCCAIN? |
| 00:51:45 |
|
BECAUSE IT IS HIM. |
| 00:51:47 |
|
WILL HOLD YOU BACK FROM VOTING FOR BARACK OBAMA? -- WHAT HOLDS YOU BACK FROM VOTING FOR BARACK OBAMA?... |
| 00:51:56 |
|
I DO NOT HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE. BIDEN I DO. IT SHOULD BE TURNED AROUND. IF BIDEN WAS UP FOR PRESIDENT... |
| 00:52:10 |
|
WOULD HOLD YOU BACK FROM OBAMA IS WHAT? |
| 00:52:15 |
|
I DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE HIM. |
| 00:52:18 |
|
CONFIDENCE IN HIM ON THE BASIS OF? |
| 00:52:21 |
|
I KNOW AS A PERSON HE WAS ALWAYS FOR THE PEOPLE GROWING UP, AND SOMETIMES I LOOK AT IT LIKE IT IS... |
| 00:52:51 |
|
RALPH, ALWAYS BEEN A DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN? |
| 00:52:56 |
|
I VOTED BOTH PARTIES, A DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN. |
| 00:53:00 |
|
DID YOU VOTE FOR ROSS PEROT IN 1992? |
| 00:53:02 |
|
YES, I DID. |
| 00:53:06 |
|
AND IN 2000, GORE AND BUSH? |
| 00:53:08 |
|
I VOTED FOR BUSH. |
| 00:53:10 |
|
AND BUSH AND TERRY? |
| 00:53:12 |
|
BUSH AGAIN. |
| 00:53:14 |
|
IN 1996 DID YOU VOTE FOR DOLE OR CLINTON? |
| 00:53:17 |
|
I VOTED FOR DOLE. I HAVE BEEN REPUBLICAN GOING BACK. I ALSO VOTED FOR GEORGE WALLACE IF WE'RE GOING... |
| 00:53:33 |
|
IS THERE ANYTHING OBAMA CAN DO TO WIN YOUR VOTE, OR ARE YOU PRETTY WELL -- |
| 00:53:39 |
|
I AM LEANING TOWARDS MCCAIN. BOTH THE CANDIDATES ARE NOT TELLING ME ANYTHING. LIKE I SAID BEFORE ABOUT... |
| 00:54:35 |
|
TO PERFECT? |
| 00:54:36 |
|
TO PERFECT. |
| 00:54:41 |
|
DOES ANYBODY ELSE FEEL TOO PERFECT? PETE DOES ALSO. WHY, MARY? |
| 00:54:47 |
|
HE IS TO POLISH. HE GETS IN FRONT OF A CAMERA, AND HE IS FEEDING YOU EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO HEAR.... |
| 00:55:05 |
|
THEY HAVE NEVER TOLD US ANYTHING. IN 40 YEARS IT IS ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME. WHEN HAVE WE EVER LISTEN... |
| 00:55:18 |
|
YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE THIS, BUT IF YOU LISTENED TO THE LAST TWO ELECTIONS, AS MUCH AS I DO NOT LIKE GEORGE... |
| 00:55:55 |
|
MICHELLE, REAL QUICK? |
| 00:55:58 |
|
THE MEDIA -- IT SEEMS LIKE THEY GET ONE ISSUE IN THAT IS ALL THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT. THEY ARE NOT... |
| 00:56:13 |
|
OHIO, KEY STATE. WHAT IS THE BEST THING THAT JOHN MCCAIN CAN DO TO EARN YOUR VOTE? I KNOW SOME OF... |
| 00:56:26 |
|
WHAT CAN HE DO FOR US? |
| 00:56:29 |
|
ANYBODY ELSE? WHAT IS THE BEST THING THAT BARACK OBAMA COULD DO TO EARN YOUR VOTE? |
| 00:56:37 |
|
SWITCH IT OVER TO BIDEN. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:56:43 |
|
THAT IS A GOOD ONE. WE'RE GOING TO OF A PROBLEM ON THAT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER THINGS, I WOULD LIKE... |
| 00:57:22 |
|
I APPRECIATE OBAMA'S HONESTY WHEN HE SAID SOMETHING TO THE AFFECT OF IT IS GOING TO BE HARD TIMES,... |
| 00:57:39 |
|
LET ME ASK ONE OTHER THING, AND THAT IS A WANT TO HAVE YOU READ IT DOWN ON YOUR PAD -- YOU WRITE DOWN... |
| 00:58:53 |
|
30 SECONDS, ANYTHING THAT COMES TO YOUR MIND, ANYTHING YOU THINK ABOUT. JUST -- THIS MADE AN IMPRESSION... |
| 00:59:28 |
|
THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL SELECTION. |
| 00:59:30 |
|
HOW MANY OF YOU SAID THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT MADE AN IMPACT ON YOU? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. WHAT WERE... |
| 00:59:46 |
|
IN THE BEGINNING I CONSIDERED BOTH CANDIDATES, BUT ONCE MCCAIN HAS SELECTED HALEN AND I SAW HER STAND... |
| 01:00:01 |
|
I WAS LITTLE SURPRISE THAT MCCAIN TICKED SARA PAILIN. THAT WAS A SURPRISE CHOICE FOR THE WHOLE UNITED... |
| 01:00:12 |
|
DIDN'T CONSOLIDATE YOUR VOTE FOR MCCAIN, OR DID IT MAKE YOU FEEL -- DID IT CONSOLIDATE YOUR VOTE FOR... |
| 01:00:22 |
|
THEY BE A LITTLE LESS CERTAIN BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF I CAN TRUST HER. |
| 01:00:25 |
|
GRETCHEN? |
| 01:00:31 |
|
SHE IS NOT QUALIFIED. |
| 01:00:33 |
|
HAVE BEEN A SHE IS NOT QUALIFIED? |
| 01:00:35 |
|
I DO NOT APPRECIATE THE WAY SHE PRESENTS HERSELF. I DO NOT APPRECIATE SOME OF THE STANDINGS SHE HAS,... |
| 01:00:47 |
|
WHO ELSE SAID VICE PRESIDENT? THERE WERE A COUPLE OF OTHERS. |
| 01:00:51 |
|
I WAS SURPRISED THAT OBAMA PICKED BIDEN BECAUSE BIDEN CAME OUT AGAINST HIM IN HIS COMMENTS, AND ALL... |
| 01:01:02 |
|
DID THAT TURN YOU OFF? DID THAT BOTHER YOU? |
| 01:01:05 |
|
YES, IT BOTHERED ME. |
| 01:01:06 |
|
HOW PALIN? -- HOW ABOUT PALIN? |
| 01:01:14 |
|
I THINK SHE IS FEISTY. |
| 01:01:15 |
|
QUALIFIED? |
| 01:01:18 |
|
YEAH. |
| 01:01:22 |
|
STEVE? |
| 01:01:24 |
|
I SAID VICE-PRESIDENT. WITH BIDEN, HE WAS NOT WITH BARACK AT THE TIME. |
| 01:01:34 |
|
WHO ELSE BUT VICE-PRESIDENT DOWN? |
| 01:01:39 |
|
I LIKE JOE BIDEN ON HIS FOREIGN AFFAIRS ISSUES. HE DOES RUN OFF THE MOUTH A LITTLE BIT AND HE GETS... |
| 01:01:55 |
|
GO AHEAD. BIDEN WAS APPLAUSE IN YOUR MIND. |
| 01:02:00 |
|
I THOUGHT HE WAS A PLUS. |
| 01:02:05 |
|
AND SARAH PALIN, ANY EFFECT? |
| 01:02:08 |
|
INTERESTING, SOMETIMES YOU REACH A STAGE WHERE YOU SAY WHY NOT TRY IT? THE POLITICIANS WE HAVE GOT... |
| 01:02:22 |
|
JOHN MCCAIN WINS THE PRESIDENCY. WHAT IS YOUR EMOTION? I WANT A SNAPPY MOTION THAT YOU FEEL. YOU WAKE... |
| 01:02:34 |
|
I DO NOT KNOW. CONCERN. |
| 01:02:39 |
|
HERE WE GO AGAIN. |
| 01:02:43 |
|
OF POSITIVES. YOU HAVE TO GO WITH WHAT YOU GET. |
| 01:02:49 |
|
" WE DID THE RIGHT THING. |
| 01:02:51 |
|
SAY A PRAYER AND HOPE WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN. |
| 01:02:55 |
|
CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC. |
| 01:02:56 |
|
WHEN IS THE NEXT ELECTION? |
| 01:03:00 |
|
MOVE TO CANADA. |
| 01:03:04 |
|
HOPEFUL. |
| 01:03:06 |
|
HE SAYS HE IS GOING TO REACH ACROSS THE AISLE AND THE ORDER TO GET SOMETHING DONE, AND I THINK WE... |
| 01:03:18 |
|
PERFECTLY OPTIMISTIC. |
| 01:03:21 |
|
WORRIED. |
| 01:03:27 |
|
BARACK OBAMA WINS THE PRESIDENCY. WHAT IS YOUR A MOTION? I WILL START WITH GRETCHEN AND GO CLOCKWISE.... |
| 01:03:33 |
|
HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE CHANGED. |
| 01:03:38 |
|
I WANT TO SEE HIM LIVE UP TO WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. |
| 01:03:41 |
|
WORRIED. |
| 01:03:42 |
|
WORRIED. |
| 01:03:45 |

UNCERTAINTY. |
| 01:03:47 |
|
I HOPE HE CAN CHANGE THINGS. |
| 01:03:48 |
|
ON CERTAIN. |
| 01:03:51 |
|
HOPEFULLY THE WORLD DOES NOT BECOME DESTABILIZED AND WE HAVE |
| 01:03:54 |
|
NERVOUS. |
| 01:03:58 |
|
DIFFERENCE. |
| 01:03:59 |
|
NEW ERA. |
| 01:04:00 |
|
FRIGHTENED A LITTLE BIT. |
| 01:04:06 |
|
GOOD, AND THE NERVOUSNESS, FRIGHTENED, UNCERTAINTY THAT PEOPLE ARE EXPRESSING, TRYING TO SAY WHAT?... |
| 01:04:25 |
|
IT IS GOING TO BE A NEW ERA WHETHER IT BE MCCAIN OR OBAMA. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT NEED TO BE... |
| 01:04:33 |
|
THERE WILL BE CHANGED. BOTH CANDIDATES WILL BRING CHANGE. |
| 01:04:37 |
|
WE'RE PUTTING A LOT OF HOPE INTO OUR ECONOMY AND EVERYTHING ELSE CHANGING WITH THIS NEW PRESIDENT... |
| 01:04:48 |
|
NO MATTER WHO GETS PROMOTED THERE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE NERVOUSNESS AND UNCERTAINTY BECAUSE PEOPLE... |
| 01:05:00 |
|
IF OBAMA IS ABOUT THEATRICS, HERE IS HOPING THAT HE ASKS JOE BIDEN FOR SOME OF HIS OPINIONS INSTEAD... |
| 01:05:12 |
|
BOTH OF THEM SAID THEY WANT TO REACH ACROSS THE SENATE AND CONGRESS TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN, AND HOPEFULLY... |
| 01:05:31 |
|
IF BUSH LOOKED TO CHENEY FOR DIRECTION AND IF OBAMA LOOKS TO BIDEN FOR DIRECTION AND MIKHEIL LOOKS... |
| 01:06:04 |
|
LET ME GO TO THE LIGHTNING ROUND. [LAUGHTER] I AM GOING TO THROW OUT THE NAME OF A PERSON. I WANT... |
| 01:06:47 |

|
GOOD OLD BOY. |

I WANTED TO GET IT OUT THERE. SARAH PALIN? |
| 01:11:12 |
|
GOOFY. |
| 01:11:15 |
|
NO OPINION OF HER. |
| 01:11:18 |
|
NO, YOU DO. |
| 01:11:20 |
|
BE HONEST. |
| 01:11:23 |
|
I COULD NOT THINK OF IT RIGHT AWAY. OUT OF HER LEAGUE. |
| 01:11:30 |
|
MULTITASK. |
| 01:11:37 |
|
SHE'S A HOCKEY MOM. |
| 01:11:39 |
|
I AM GOING TO HAVE TO AGREE. SHE IS OUT OF HER EARLY. |
| 01:11:43 |
|
SHE IS UP TO HER NECK. -- SHE IS OUT OF HER LEAGUE. |
| 01:11:48 |
|
GREAT GOVERNOR. |
| 01:11:54 |
|
UNTESTED. |
| 01:11:55 |
|
JASON? |
| 01:12:00 |
|
CHANGE AGAIN BECAUSE SHE IS IN THE MINORITY. |
| 01:12:02 |
|
BAD DECISION MAKER. |
| 01:12:05 |
|
CINDY MCCAIN? |
| 01:12:11 |
|
MCCAIN'S WIFE. |
| 01:12:13 |
|
WHO DOES GET A VIEW OF CINDY MCCAIN? |
| 01:12:16 |
|
VERY UNDERESTIMATED. |
| 01:12:19 |
|
OTHER VIEW? ANYBODY ELSE? |
| 01:12:26 |
|
SHE SUPPORTS HER HUSBAND. |
| 01:12:31 |
|
GOOD SUPPORTER. |
| 01:12:32 |
|
MICHELLE OBAMA? |
| 01:12:35 |
|
RELATABLE. |
| 01:12:40 |
|
RADICAL. |
| 01:12:43 |
|
ANYBODY ELSE? |
| 01:12:46 |
|
NO TRUST. |
| 01:12:51 |
|
I THINK SHE IS A RACIST. |
| 01:12:58 |
|
OK, AND WHY THE STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT MICHELLE OBAMA? |
| 01:13:04 |
|
PROBABLY BECAUSE THE PAPER SHE WROTE AT PRINCETON. |
| 01:13:07 |
|
WHY THE STRONG FEELINGS ABOUT MICHELLE OBAMA? THESE ARE STRONG FEELINGS. |
| 01:13:17 |
|
IT IS ALMOST LIKE SHE IS NOT REAL VERBAL, AND WITH THE SEA AFTER TET FEEL ABOUT OBAMA SHE IS KIND... |
| 01:13:34 |
|
SHE IS SCARY. |
| 01:13:35 |
|
WHY? |
| 01:13:36 |
|
HER ACTIONS. |
| 01:13:40 |
|
HELP ME UNDERSTAND. |
| 01:13:42 |
|
SHE IS PUTTING HERSELF OUT THERE. |
| 01:13:43 |
|
HELP ME UNDERSTAND. SHE IS SCARY BECAUSE? |
| 01:13:49 |
|
JUST HER ACTIONS. |
| 01:13:50 |
|
IT IS A GUT FEELING. |
| 01:13:54 |
|
YOU SEE HER. |
| 01:13:56 |
|
IS IT THE WAY SHE TALKS, WALKS, RELATES TO PEOPLE? |
| 01:14:01 |
|
I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE PAPER SHE WROTE IN PRINCETON. WHEN YOU LOOK AT PEOPLE, WHEN YOU MEET SOMEBODY,... |
| 01:14:17 |
|
WHAT WAS YOUR WORD? |
| 01:14:20 |
|
RACIST BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT WHERE SHE CAME FROM AND HOW SHE GREW UP, AND THE... |
| 01:14:38 |
|
DOES ANYBODY ELSE -- INTERESTING. STEPHEN, LAST THING. |
| 01:14:47 |
|
I THINK IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MUCH OF AN ISSUE BUT YOU ALREADY HAVE OBAMA ISSUES WITH WILLIAM AYERS... |
| 01:15:01 |
|
I HAD YOU DIVIDE UP. HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THE COLUMN I DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT HAD JEREMY WRIGHT AND... |
| 01:16:50 |
|
PALIN -- SARAH PALIN? |
| 01:16:55 |
|
I AM A 29-YEAR-OLD MALE, SO SARAH PALIN, BUT REALLY BARACK. |
| 01:17:01 |
|
MCCAIN. |
| 01:17:03 |
|
MCCAIN. |
| 01:17:05 |
|
OBAMA. |
| 01:17:10 |
|
AND WILLIAM? |
| 01:17:11 |
|
OBAMA. |
| 01:17:12 |
|
WHO DO YOU WANT TO SIT NEXT TO? |
| 01:17:17 |
|
PROBABLY OBAMA. |
| 01:17:18 |
|
WHO DO YOU WANT TO SIT NEXT TO? |
| 01:17:21 |
|
PALIN. |
| 01:17:24 |
|
BIDEN. |
| 01:17:28 |
|
COULD YOU WANT TO SIT NEXT TO? |
| 01:17:30 |
|
MCCAIN, I AM A VIETNAM VET. |
| 01:17:32 |
|
OBAMA. |
| 01:17:33 |
|
JOHN MCCAIN. |
| 01:17:39 |
|
SO POOR JOE BIDEN ONLY GOT ONE PERSON SITTING NEXT TO HIM. PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SIT NEXT TO PALIN, WATIE... |
| 01:17:50 |
|
THE WANT TO ASK HER WHAT SHE IS THINKING WITH WITH HER VIEWS? |
| 01:17:57 |
|
I WANT TO GET HER -- GET TO KNOW HER BETTER. |
| 01:18:02 |
|
I WOULD RATHER SIT NEXT TO OBAMA, BUT PALIN BECAUSE OF YEAH. |
| 01:18:09 |
|
I WANT TO GET TO KNOW SOME OF THE VIEWS SHE HAS. |
| 01:18:13 |
|
WHO SAID THE PERSON I DO NOT WANT TO SIT NEXT TO IS JOE BIDEN? TWO PEOPLE. WHO SAID I DID NOT WANT... |
| 01:18:38 |
|
EXPERIENCE. |
| 01:18:42 |
|
WHY? |
| 01:18:44 |
|
FROM HIS EXPERIENCE IN THE WAR, HIS TIME IN VIETNAM AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO HIS IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE.... |
| 01:18:52 |
|
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST RESERVATION AS A PERSON ABOUT JOHN MCCAIN BEING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,... |
| 01:19:16 |
|
HIS AGE. |
| 01:19:18 |
|
HIS AGE. |
| 01:19:20 |
|
ALSO HIS AGE. |
| 01:19:23 |
|
COOKIE? |
| 01:19:26 |
|
IT DOES NOT BOTHER ME HIS AGE. |
| 01:19:30 |
|
RALPH? GREATEST RESERVATION? |
| 01:19:33 |
|
HIS TEMPER. |
| 01:19:34 |
|
PETE? |
| 01:19:36 |
|
HIS HEALTH. |
| 01:19:40 |
|
GREATEST RESERVATIONS THAT YOU HAVE ABOUT BARACK OBAMA BEING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? |
| 01:19:45 |
|
HIS EXPERIENCE. |
| 01:19:49 |
|
I AM GOING TO LOVE TO GO WITH INEXPERIENCE, TOO. |
| 01:19:54 |
|
I ACTUALLY HAVE NO RESERVATIONS. |
| 01:19:55 |
|
THAT HE WILL NOT FOLLOW THROUGH ON SOME OF THE THINGS HE IS TRYING TO SELL. |
| 01:19:59 |
|
NO EXPERIENCE. |
| 01:20:02 |
|
WHO HE SURROUNDS HIMSELF WITH. |
| 01:20:10 |
|
OK, AND THE PERSONAL ELEMENT THAT MOST IMPRESSES YOU ABOUT BARACK OBAMA? THE PERSONAL ELEMENT THAT... |
| 01:20:22 |
|
THE WAY HE SPEAKS, HIS COMMUNICATIONS SKILLS. YOU COULD RELATE TO HIM. COOKIE -- COOKIE? |
| 01:20:34 |
|
HE COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY WEALTHY MAN WORKING IN LAW FIRMS, AND HE CHOSE THE OTHER WAY, SO THAT IS... |
| 01:20:45 |
|
HIS COMMUNICATION SKILLS ARE FANTASTIC. |
| 01:20:49 |
|
ROBIN? |
| 01:20:52 |
|
THE THINGS -- THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE. COMMUNICATION SKILLS. |
| 01:20:55 |
|
HAVING GREAT COMMUNICATION SKILLS, THIS THAT MAKE YOU A BETTER PRESIDENT? -- DOES THAT MAKE YOU A... |
| 01:21:07 |
|
NO. |
| 01:21:08 |
|
YES. |
| 01:21:13 |
|
YOU HAVE TO SELL WHAT YOU WANT. |
| 01:21:14 |
|
IT IS GOOD TO HAVE SOMETHING BEHIND. |
| 01:21:19 |
|
YOU JUST HAVE TO SELL IT. YOU HAVE TO SELL WHAT YOU WANT TO GET INTO THE COUNTRY, AND IF HE CAN COMMUNICATE... |
| 01:21:33 |
|
I WANT SUBSTANCE. |
| 01:21:34 |
|
YOU HAVE TO SELL IT IN ORDER TO GET THE SUBSTANCE. HE CAN SELL IT. |
| 01:21:39 |
|
DO YOU THINK BARACK OBAMA HAS GOT SUBSTANCE? |
| 01:21:43 |
|
I AM GETTING THE FEELING KNOW. |
| 01:21:47 |
|
OK, AND THE REASON YOU HAD THE FEELING HE DOES NOT HAVE SUBSTANCE IS? |
| 01:21:52 |
|
BECAUSE EVERY TIME I HAVE SEEN HIM SPEAK HE SKIRTS THE ANSWERS. HE DOES NOT GIVE YOU A STRAIGHT ANSWER.... |
| 01:21:59 |
|
DID YOU WATCH THE DEBATE? WERE THERE THINGS HE DID THAT IMPRESSED YOU, AND WERE THERE THINGS THAT... |
| 01:22:17 |
|
I WATCHED THE DEBATES, AND IT SEEMED LIKE THE SAME OLD, SAME OLD TO ME. |
| 01:22:23 |
|
THAT WOULD BE BOTH SIDES ARE -- OK, AND IN TERMS OF THE PROFESSIONAL THE MANSION -- DIMENSION, HOW... |
| 01:22:59 |
|
HE COMES FROM A MEAGER BACKGROUND, AND HE DEFINES THE OLD NOTION THAT IN AMERICA YOU CAN DO ANYTHING... |
| 01:23:24 |
|
HOW IS HE GOING TO BE A GOOD PRESIDENT? |
| 01:23:28 |
|
HE COULD BE LIKE A JACK KENNEDY WITH THE WAY HE CAN PRESENT HIMSELF AND GET PEOPLE TO DO THINGS. ... |
| 01:23:46 |
|
IN WHAT WAY WILL HE BE A GOOD PRESIDENT, PETE? |
| 01:23:50 |
|
I AGREE WITH WHAT RALPH SAID. HE WILL PROBABLY BE ABLE TO BE VERY PERSUASIVE AND GET PEOPLE TO AGREE... |
| 01:24:02 |
|
ROBIN, WHAT WE WILL HE BE A GOOD PRESIDENT? |
| 01:24:04 |
|
I THINK HE CAN REACH OUT TO ALL PEOPLE. HE IS THE PRODUCT OF A BLACK AND WHITE RACE, AND HE CAN TRY... |
| 01:24:25 |
|
GRETCHEN, AND WHAT WE WILL HE BE A GOOD PRESIDENT? |
| 01:24:29 |
|
IT IS LIKE THE COACH OF THE TEAM. HE WILL BE ABLE TO TALK PEOPLE THROUGH IT. THE COACHES HAVE THEIR... |
| 01:24:52 |
|
WILL HE BE A GOOD LEADER? |
| 01:24:54 |
|
HE HAS CUT HIMSELF THIS QUICKLY -- WHERE HE IS AS QUICKLY BECAUSE HE CAN TALK. HE CAN SELL THE PRODUCT.... |
| 01:25:14 |
|
THE AGREE THAT HE WILL HELP OUR IMAGE ABROAD -- HOW MANY AGREE THAT HE WILL HELP OUR IMAGE ABROAD?... |
| 01:25:33 |
|
I DID. |
| 01:25:35 |
|
PETE, YOU ARE TOO LATE. |
| 01:25:38 |
|
I HAD MY HAND UP. |
| 01:25:43 |
|
I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND AND REVISE. PEETE HAD HIS HAND UP. MICHELLE, HOW ABOUT YOURSELF? IN WHAT WE... |
| 01:25:52 |
|
I DO NOT THINK HE HAS A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN WE GET A LOT OF EXPERIENCE WE GET STUCK... |
| 01:26:06 |
|
I AM INTERESTED IN ONE OTHER THING. MARY, COOKIE, AND THE PEOPLE WHO TEND TO BE FOR OBAMA. IF JOHN... |
| 01:27:04 |
|
MANY PEOPLE RESPECT HIM. THEY HAVE SOME HISTORY WITH HIM IN WHATEVER CAPACITY, WHETHER THAT BE INDIRECTLY... |
| 01:27:22 |
|
GRETCHEN, IS THERE A WAY IN WHICH HE CAN BE A GOOD PRESIDENT? |
| 01:27:26 |
|
IF HE SURROUNDS HIMSELF WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO BRING THE CHANGE ABOUT. I DO NOT SEE CHANGE COMING... |
| 01:27:37 |
|
HOW CAN HE BE A GOOD PRESIDENT? |
| 01:27:40 |
|
I THINK HE HAS A GOOD FOREIGN POLICY. I THINK HE HAS MORE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE THERE. I THINK... |
| 01:27:51 |
|
HOW CAN HE BE A GOOD PRESIDENT? |
| 01:27:53 |
|
NO. |
| 01:27:55 |
|
YOU CANNOT THINK OF ANYTHING? |
| 01:27:57 |
|
NO. |
| 01:27:58 |
|
MICHELLE? |
| 01:28:00 |
|
GET AWAY FROM BUSH'S IDEAS. |
| 01:28:04 |
|
TELL ME ONE THING. HOW DO YOU THINK BARACK OBAMA WOULD DO IF THE CONGRESS WAS OPPOSING ONE OF HIS... |
| 01:28:28 |
|
I THINK HE WOULD CAVE. |
| 01:28:32 |
|
OTHER PEOPLE THINK? |
| 01:28:36 |
|
I WOULD HOPE THEY WOULD WORK TOGETHER TO FIND COMMON GROUND IF IT IS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE COUNTRY.... |
| 01:28:44 |
|
HAVE YOU THINK HE WOULD REACT? -- HOW DO YOU THINK HE WOULD REACT? CONGRESS OFTEN SEES THINGS DIFFERENTLY... |
| 01:29:02 |
|
I KNOW HOW THEY SHOULD REACT,. |
| 01:29:07 |
|
CONSTITUENTS OF THE COMMERCE ARE DEMOCRATS. I BELIEVE BUSH HAD SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT IN HIS FIRST... |
| 01:29:32 |
|
I AM INTERESTED WHEN HE HITS THAT STICKING POINTS HOW YOU THINK HE WILL DO AND WHAT YOU THINK HE WILL... |
| 01:29:44 |
|
ALL PRESIDENTS DO IT. A STRONG ARM PEOPLE. |
| 01:29:48 |
|
I AM TRYING TO GET A READING ON HOW YOU WOULD ENVISION OBAMA HANDLING SOMETHING LIKE THIS. IF YOU... |
| 01:30:00 |
|
I COULD GO EITHER WAY. |
| 01:30:02 |
|
I WOULD THINK THAT MAYBE HE WOULD FOLLOW THE SAME TREND THAT MOST OTHER PRESIDENTS HAVE AND ADD ON... |
| 01:30:14 |
|
OK, STEVE? |
| 01:30:15 |
|
I THINK IF HE DOES NOT GET WHAT HE WANTS FROM CONGRESS HE MAY GO TO THE PEOPLE AND SAY THIS IS WHAT... |
| 01:30:32 |
|
DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT? |
| 01:30:33 |
|
TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE DEAL WITH -- TOO MANY OTHER PEOPLE DEAL WITH JUST ADD THINGS OR RATIFIED A LITTLE... |
| 01:30:49 |
|
HAVE YOU THINK HE WOULD HANDLE A DOMESTIC CRISIS -- HOW DO YOU THINK HE WOULD HANDLE THE DOMESTIC... |
| 01:31:07 |
|
I THINK JUST FROM THE WAY HE IS GATHERING THE NATION -- ON "MEET THE PRESS" IN GEORGIA ALONE THEY... |
| 01:31:45 |
|
PETE, GIVE ME AN IMPRESSION OF HOW YOU THINK YOU DO IN A SITUATION THAT IS A NATIONAL CRISIS WHICH... |
| 01:31:58 |
|
IN JUDGING BY WHAT HE DID WITH THE BAILOUT, HE WAS IN RIGHT AWAY, AND IF WHAT I HEAR IS CORRECT ABOUT... |
| 01:32:26 |
|
RALPH, GIVE ME A QUICK REACTION ON HOW HE WOULD DEAL WITH THE DOMESTIC SITUATION OF KATRINA OR WHATEVER.... |
| 01:32:37 |
|
KATRINA NEW PRESIDENT WILL EVER DO AGAIN. |
| 01:32:43 |
|
-- NO PRESIDENT WILL EVER DO THAT AGAIN. HE WILL DO A LOT OF TALKING WITH PEOPLE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.... |
| 01:32:54 |
|
IS HE THE KIND OF PRECEDENT THAT WOULD GALVANIZE THE NATION TOGETHER? |
| 01:32:59 |
|
I THINK HE CAN. |
| 01:33:00 |
|
RALLY THE TROOPS. |
| 01:33:02 |
|
TO YOU THINK HE CAN? |
| 01:33:06 |
|
WOULD YOU -- DO YOU THINK HE CAN? WOULD YOU AGREE? |
| 01:33:09 |
|
I THINK HE COULD. |
| 01:33:17 |
|
OK, AND TELL ME HOW YOU THINK HE WOULD DEAL WITH OUR ADVERSARIES ABROAD? A RUSSIA OR CHINA OR WHATEVER... |
| 01:33:35 |
|
OUT OF HIS LEAGUE. |
| 01:33:40 |
|
OUT OF HIS LEAGUE, AND MARY AGREES. |
| 01:33:43 |
|
I HOPE HE HAS GOT SOME GOOD PEOPLE SURROUNDING HIM THAT CAN GIVE HIM ADVICE. |
| 01:33:53 |
|
I THINK HE WOULD BE. HE KNOWS HE DOES NOT HAVE EXPERIENCED. |
| 01:33:58 |
|
I DO NOT HEAR ANYBODY SAY NO, THIS GUY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT. I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT IF HE WERE NEGOTIATING... |
| 01:34:09 |
|
I THINK HE WOULD, AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE EVERY PRESIDENT HAS PEOPLE THEY CONVERSE WITH BEHIND CLOSED... |
| 01:34:19 |
|
HOW ABOUT DEALING WITH OUR ALLIES? GREAT BRITAIN, GERMANY, JAPAN, ETC.? HOW WOULD HE BE DEALING WITH... |
| 01:34:36 |
|
I THINK HE WILL DO BETTER WITH OUR ALLIES. |
| 01:34:38 |
|
TURN IT AROUND. HERE IS WHERE I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT JOHN MCCAIN WOULD BE A GOOD PRESIDENT. I GIVE... |
| 01:35:07 |
|
FOREIGN AFFAIRS. |
| 01:35:12 |
|
EVERYBODY AGREES HE WOULD BE GOOD, BETTER WITH OUR ALLIES OR ADVERSARIES? |
| 01:35:17 |
|
ADVERSARIES. |
| 01:35:19 |
|
WHY YOU FEEL HE WOULD BEGIN WITH OUR ADVERSARIES -- HE WOULD BE GOOD WITH OUR |
| 01:35:25 |
|
HIS HISTORY. |
| 01:35:28 |
|
HE WOULD BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHO ARE OUR ALLIES AND OUR ADVERSARIES. |
| 01:35:35 |
|
ONE THING TO READ ABOUT IN THE PAST -- THE PRESS IS SOMETHING CALLED THE BRADLEY EFFECT. HOW MANY... |
| 01:35:47 |
|
IS THAT CHANGING YOUR MIND? |
| 01:35:51 |
|
COOKIE, YOU KNOW? |
| 01:35:52 |
|
NO. |
| 01:35:54 |
|
NOT REALLY. |
| 01:35:56 |
|
YES. |
| 01:35:57 |
|
NO. |
| 01:36:06 |
|
YES, THAT WAS THE MAYOR IN CALIFORNIA WHO WAS A BLACK MAN, AND HE WAS 14 POINTS AHEAD IN POLLS, AND... |
| 01:36:24 |
|
IT WAS A VERY CLOSE RACE, AND THEY TALK ABOUT THE BRADLEY EFFECT IN TERMS OF PEOPLE SAID I WOULD THINK... |
| 01:37:05 |
|
WHY NOT? |
| 01:37:10 |
|
BECAUSE I THINK MOST PEOPLE, UNLIKE ME, HAVE THEIR MINDS MADE UP, AND THEY ARE GOING TO GO VOTE AND... |
| 01:37:20 |
|
IT IS NOT THAT THEY ARE EXPRESSING ONE VIEW ONE WAY AND VOTING SOMETHING -- |
| 01:37:25 |
|
DOING IT A DIFFERENT WAY. |
| 01:37:28 |
|
HOW MANY THINK THIS COULD BE AN AFFECT? I AM INTERESTED. PETE, HELP ME OUT ON THIS. |
| 01:37:35 |
|
I TELL YOU WHAT. THERE IS A LOT OF RACIST PEOPLE. THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE MAYBE NOT RACIST... |
| 01:37:47 |
|
DO YOU KNOW PEOPLE YOU WOULD BET THAT PROBABLY WOULD USE RACE? |
| 01:37:55 |
|
PROBABLY YES. |
| 01:37:59 |
|
HOW ABOUT YOU, ROBIN? |
| 01:38:01 |
|
I THINK THERE WAS A BIG PUSH TO GET NEW VOTERS OUT, ESPECIALLY AFRICAN-AMERICANS YOUNG AND OLD, AND... |
| 01:38:16 |
|
DO YOU THINK THERE WILL BE A PUSH BACK IN TERMS OF THE WHITE COMMUNITY? |
| 01:38:21 |
|
YES, COULD BE. |
| 01:38:23 |
|
WHAT DO YOU THINK, GRETCHEN? |
| 01:38:25 |
|
I THINK SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SAY THEY ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR HIM BUT WHEN THEY'RE BEHIND CLOSED... |
| 01:39:08 |
|
JASON? |
| 01:39:09 |
|
HE IS MIXED. HE IS BLACK AND WHITE. HE IS BOTH. |
| 01:39:16 |
|
MANY PEOPLE DO NOT FEEL THAT WAY. IF THEY HAVE A BOX, IT IS AFRICAN-AMERICAN. |
| 01:39:28 |
|
I HAVE COUNTLESS MAKES FRIENDS. |
| 01:39:30 |
|
OLDER WHITE FOLKS TO SEE THE BLACK. THEY DO NOT SEE THE WHITE. |
| 01:39:38 |
|
I HAD MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT, AND I STARTED LISTENING TO THEM. |
| 01:39:42 |
|
SORRY. |
| 01:39:45 |
|
I HAVE A GOOD POINT, TOO. |
| 01:39:52 |
|
IN TERMS OF THE RACIAL AFFECT -- |
| 01:39:54 |
|
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT FOR THAT ONLY THEY ARE VOTING FOR MCCAIN, ISN'T IN THE PAST, 30% OF REGISTERED... |
| 01:40:12 |
|
IT IS LARGER THAN THAT FORTUNATELY. |
| 01:40:16 |
|
OF REGISTERED? |
| 01:40:21 |
|
OF REGISTERED VOTERS IT IS ALMOST IN THE 85% LEVEL AND OF THE TOTAL POPULATION WE WILL HAVE A MAJORITY... |
| 01:42:50 |
|
OUT OF 100. |
| 01:42:54 |
|
I THINK HEALTH CARE IS OTHER. |
| 01:43:03 |
|
WHAT ABOUT THE WAR? |
| 01:43:05 |
|
THAT IS PROBABLY THE OTHER. |
| 01:43:10 |
|
TERRORISTS. |
| 01:43:23 |
|
YOU HAVE GOT TO ADD TO 100. |
| 01:43:27 |
|
THAT IS FUNNY. |
| 01:43:29 |
|
PERCENTAGES. |
| 01:43:35 |
|
45, 45, 10? |
| 01:43:42 |
|
ARE THEY PUTTING HEALTH CARE UNDER THE ECONOMY? |
| 01:43:45 |
|
HERE WE GO. A, B, AND C. |
| 01:43:53 |
|
WHERE YOU PUT HEALTH CARE? |
| 01:43:55 |
|
I PUT IT IN THE OTHER CATEGORY. A, B, AND C. HOW MANY POST THE ECONOMY AS THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE? NUMBER... |
| 01:44:21 |
|
45. |
| 01:44:22 |
|
50. |
| 01:44:23 |
|
60. |
| 01:44:27 |
|
HOW MANY HAD SOCIAL ISSUES AS THEIR NUMBER ONE ISSUE? |
| 01:44:32 |
|
7. |
| 01:44:33 |
|
50. |
| 01:44:34 |
|
50. |
| 01:44:39 |
|
HAD OTHER AS THEIR MAJOR |
| 01:44:40 |
|
40. |
| 01:44:44 |
|
85. |
| 01:44:46 |
|
80. |
| 01:44:49 |
|
LET ME BREAK IT DOWN. WHEN YOU PUT 70 ON SOCIAL ISSUES, WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY? |
| 01:44:57 |
|
I AM TRYING TO SAY THIS COUNTRY NEEDS A CHANGE A LOT BEFORE WE STARTED DANCING IN THE WORLD, BECAUSE... |
| 01:45:16 |
|
ON SOCIAL ISSUES YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY WHAT? |
| 01:45:21 |
|
I AM TRYING TO SAY THAT IN MY OPINION THAT I AM PERSUADED MORE ABOUT THE SOCIAL ISSUES. |
| 01:45:34 |
|
DOES THAT PUT YOU MORE ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE OR THE PROGRESSIVE SIDE, OR WHERE DO YOU FIND YOURSELF?... |
| 01:45:38 |
|
WRITE IN THE MIDDLE. -- RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. |
| 01:45:45 |
|
WHO ELSE? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY? |
| 01:45:49 |
|
I AGREE WITH WILLIAM. THERE ARE BILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET, AND WE ARE THE LEADING COUNTRY... |
| 01:46:01 |
|
WHO ELSE HAD IT? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY? |
| 01:46:08 |
|
I SENT SOMEONE'S MORALS ARE DETERMINING HOW THEY ARE GUARDED -- REGARDING OTHER ISSUES ALSO. EILEEN... |
| 01:46:25 |
|
DO YOU SAY? |
| 01:46:27 |
|
I THINK THE ECONOMY IS IMPORTANT, TOO, BUT DEPENDING ON YOUR VALUES AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN THAT CORE... |
| 01:46:44 |
|
WHO HAD C? STEVE, COOKIE. |
| 01:46:51 |
|
I HAD C. |
| 01:46:56 |
|
COOKIE, WHEN YOU CHOSE OTHER ISSUES YOU WERE TRYING TO SAY? |
| 01:47:01 |
|
I THINK OUR HEALTH CARE IS REALLY IMPORTANT. I THINK THE WAR IS REALLY IMPORTANT. THESE ISSUES, I... |
| 01:47:09 |
|
THE WAR. |
| 01:47:13 |
|
WHAT YOU WANT US TO DO IN THE WAR? |
| 01:47:19 |
|
THE SUNNIS ARE THE MINORITY, AND THE REST OF THE ARABS IN THE WORLD ARE SUNNIS, AND YOU HAVE YOUR... |
| 01:47:51 |
|
COOKIE, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO IN TERMS OF THE WAR? |
| 01:47:54 |
|
DO NOT GET ME STARTED. WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE LIKE WE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN |
| 01:47:58 |
|
WE ARE THERE. |
| 01:48:02 |
|
WE HAVE TO FINISH IT. |
| 01:48:04 |
|
IT SCARES ME BECAUSE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT 2011. ALL THAT OIL, AND WE DO NOT GET ANY OF IT? |
| 01:48:15 |
|
THE WAR, WE SHOULD BE? |
| 01:48:16 |
|
NOT INVOLVED. |
| 01:48:18 |
|
GET OUT. |
| 01:48:22 |
|
I THINK THE SUCCESSFUL RESOLUTION OF THE WAR IS THE MOST CRITICAL ISSUE OF FOREIGN POLICY. |
| 01:48:28 |
|
RAPID UP AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND AND IT. |
| 01:48:32 |
|
IT IS NOT A WAR. IT IS AN INVASION. |
| 01:48:37 |
|
THE ONLY WAY WE CAN PULL OUT AND HAVE SOME KIND OF STABILITY IS FOR THE IRAQI PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO... |
| 01:48:46 |
|
FINISH WHAT WE STARTED. |
| 01:48:48 |
|
FINISH WHAT WE STARTED, AND GET OUT. |
| 01:48:53 |
|
I CANNOT BELIEVE THE VIET NAM THAT -- I SAID TO MYSELF NEVER DO THIS AGAIN. WE DID IT AGAIN. WE ARE... |
| 01:49:11 |
|
STEVE? |
| 01:49:12 |
|
WE HAVE TO FINISH IT. GET THE GUYS WHAT THEY NEED AND GET IT DONE. |
| 01:49:18 |
|
WE HAVE TO MAKE IRAQ A STABLE COUNTRY, OR WE WILL HAVE TO GO BACK THERE FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. |
| 01:49:26 |
|
IN A WAR IT TIES IN WITH OUR ECONOMY AND THE FACT THAT WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON FOREIGN OIL WHETHER WE... |
| 01:50:55 |
|
EVERY STATE IS DIFFERENT ON THE BIG ISSUES. THAT IS GRAVY -- CRAZY, FIRST OF ALL. AM I DO NOT CALL... |
| 01:51:05 |
|
EVERY STATE IS DIFFERENT. WE'RE EVEN ALL OR NOT. WE ARE THE UNITED STATES. WHY IS EVERY STATE DIFFERENT... |
| 01:51:20 |
|
FINALLY, I THINK THE ISSUES LIKE HEALTH CARE -- HOW MANY SAY THAT IS THE ISSUE THAT IS DRIVING ME... |
| 01:52:26 |
|
HOW ABOUT NONE OF THE ABOVE? |
| 01:52:32 |
|
IT IS A SPECIAL DISPENSATION, MARY. HOW MANY SAY I TRUST MCCAIN THE MOST ON TAXES? OK, HERE WE GO.... |
| 01:52:51 |
|
BECAUSE OF WHAT HE IS LEAN IS OUT I WOULD NOT HAVE AS HIGH AS TAXES AND WOULD BE SAVING MORE MONEY.... |
| 01:53:01 |
|
SO WHY ARE YOU VOTING FOR MCCAIN? |
| 01:53:02 |
|
BECAUSE THE ECONOMY NEEDS THE MONEY TO GET BACK ON TRACK. |
| 01:53:08 |
|
WE ARE THE MOST TAXED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, I BELIEVE, AND I DO NOT THINK WE NEED ANY MORE TAXES. |
| 01:53:14 |
|
AND JOHN MCCAIN WOULD BE BETTER FOR YOU? , YES. |
| 01:53:19 |
|
AND WHY ARE YOU NOT VOTING FOR JOHN MCCAIN? |
| 01:53:24 |
|
YOU HAVE TO GO WITH THE GOOD WITH THE BAD. |
| 01:53:27 |
|
HOW MANY SAY OBAMA WOULD BE THE BEST WITH TAXES? AND WHY ARE YOU NOT VOTING -- JOHN MCCAIN WOULD BE... |
| 01:53:46 |
|
I PUT DOWN 30% FOR FOREIGN POLICY, AND THE SOCIAL ISSUES, ABORTION, GUNS, RELIGION, OR MCCAIN, TOO.... |
| 01:54:15 |
|
I WENT TO SEE PRESIDENT CLINTON AT THE HIGH SCHOOL PRAYER. -- AT A HIGH SCHOOL. , HAS ANYBODY HEARD... |
| 01:54:45 |
|
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL AND |
| 01:54:46 |
|
OBAMA. |
| 01:54:51 |
|
JASON, DID YOU HEAR FROM ANYONE? |
| 01:54:54 |
|
NOTE. |
| 01:54:57 |
|
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE WATCHED A LOT OF ADS? EVERYBODY. |
| 01:55:03 |
|
I DO NOT WATCH COMMERCIALS. |
| 01:55:10 |
|
THEY MAKE ME DISINTERESTED. |
| 01:55:14 |
|
THERE WAS ONE THAT HAD AN EFFECT ON ME. IS GOING TO ADMIT TO ME THAT THERE IS A COMMERCIAL THAT HAD... |
| 01:55:29 |
|
IT WAS THE ONE ON ABORTION AND STEM CELL RESEARCH THAT OBAMA PUT OUT THERE AND HOW HE WAS DEPICTING... |
| 01:55:53 |
|
ALL THE COMMERCIALS HAVE AN IMPACT BECAUSE THEY MAKE ME DISINTERESTED. |
| 01:56:01 |
|
I AM NOT VERY WELL VERSED IN THAT COMPONENT. I DID HEAR THE RADIO COMMERCIAL, AND IT WAS FROM OBAMA... |
| 01:56:24 |
|
ANYBODY ELSE? |
| 01:56:28 |
|
WHAT IS THE ONE PROMISE YOU EXPECT JOHN MCCAIN TO KEEP IF HE IS ELECTED? |
| 01:56:38 |
|
THAT HE WOULD CROSS PARTY LINES AND BE RECEPTIVE TO DEMOCRATIC -- |
| 01:56:45 |
|
THAT HE WOULD FINISH WHAT WE STARTED IN IRAQ AND WE WOULD LEAVE THEIR AS VICTORS. |
| 01:56:55 |
|
HERE IS WHAT I EXPECT ON OBAMA. -- I MEAN, FROM MCCAIN. |
| 01:57:02 |
|
GETTING OUT OF IRAQ. |
| 01:57:05 |
|
WHO ELSE? , ST.. |
| 01:57:11 |
|
GETTING OUT MEETING AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME. ANYBODY ELSE? |
| 01:57:19 |
|
CUTTING GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION AND EXCESS SPENDING. |
| 01:57:25 |
|
OK, GOOD. ANYBODY ELSE? WHAT IS THE ONE PROMISE YOU EXPECT BARACK OBAMA TO KEEP IF HE IS ELECTED? |
| 01:57:42 |
|
GIVE US OUR TAX BREAK, THE MIDDLE CLASS. |
| 01:57:45 |
|
TAX BREAK TO THE MIDDLE CLASS. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BARACK OBAMA? |
| 01:57:54 |
|
SEE THE ECONOMY GET BACK ON ITS FEET. |
| 01:57:57 |
|
FIND A SOLUTION FOR HEALTH |
| 01:58:00 |
|
OK. COME BACK A YEAR FROM NOW, BARACK OBAMA HAS BEEN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOT FOR QUITE... |
| 01:58:34 |
|
TAXES AND THE ECONOMY STILL IN THE SENATE -- SAME MESS. |
| 01:58:40 |
|
IF HE GAVE IN TO THE REST OF THE DEMOCRATS AND NOT GO FOR A CHANGE. |
| 01:58:47 |
|
WHAT ELSE? |
| 01:58:50 |
|
IF WE WERE IN THE SAME POSITION THAT WE ARE IN TODAY AND THERE WAS NOTHING CHANGED, THAT WOULD BE... |
| 01:59:02 |
|
THE CHANGE DID NOT COME. |
| 01:59:05 |
|
I DO NOT THINK IT IS PRACTICAL TO SAY -- |
| 01:59:18 |
|
OTHERS CHOOSE WHO IS LEADING HIM AND HE CHOSE POORLY AND, THEREFORE, THERE WOULD BE CHAOS IN WASHINGTON,... |
| 01:59:28 |
|
YOU THINK IT WOULD BE STRONG -- D THINK HE WOULD BE A STRONG LEADER? MICHELE IS NODDING HER HEAD YES.... |
| 01:59:39 |
|
YES, I DO BELIEVE HE WILL BE A STRONG LEADER. |
| 01:59:47 |
|
FOR EXAMPLE, IN NEW YORK CITY SOME PEOPLE WILL SAY HE DID RUDY GIULIANI BUT HE WAS A STRONG LEADER.... |
| 02:00:15 |
|
I THINK HAS GOT TO WHERE HE IS APT BECAUSE OF HIS CONFIDENCE IN HIS SELF, SO I SEE HIMSELF AS BEING... |
| 02:00:26 |
|
I THINK HE IS VERY INTELLIGENT, AND I THINK, LIKE STEVENS SAID, HE WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR,... |
| 02:00:43 |
|
I WOULD AGREE. |
| 02:00:47 |
|
WHO SAYS I AM NOT SURE HE WOULD BE A STRONG LEADER? |
| 02:00:52 |
|
I BELIEVE HE IS A VERY INTELLIGENT MAN. I BELIEVE HE IS THE RIGHT PERSON AT THE RIGHT TIME. I DO NOT... |
| 02:01:04 |
|
I CANNOT READ HIM, CANNOT GET PAST HIM LIKE HE IS A STEP FURTHER WIFE. I CANNOT GET PAST THAT. |
| 02:01:12 |
|
DE THINK HE WILL BE A STRONG LEADER? |
| 02:01:17 |
|
NO, I DO NOT THINK SO. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE EXPERIENCE. I DO NOT THINK HE WILL BE THE LEADER THAT... |
| 02:01:29 |
|
THAT IS A DIFFERENT QUESTION. A STRONG LEADER CANNOT HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE, BUT THERE IS A STRONG... |
| 02:01:47 |
|
I THINK THAT IS WHY HE PICKED BY THEN. , WHICH CERTAINLY GOT ONE VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN TODAY. LET ME... |
| 02:02:48 |
|
I REALLY HOPE YOU DO WHAT YOU PROMISED TO DO. |
| 02:02:51 |
|
I AM GOING TO TAKE THAT OFF THE TABLE, ONLY TO GIVE YOU A FIGHT -- A HIGH FIVE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE... |
| 02:03:43 |
|
AND I HAD FAITH IN HIM BECAUSE BOTH, BECAUSE HE SEEMED TO ME WHAT I WANT SEE IN GOVERNMENT, DIRECTION... |
| 02:03:57 |
|
YOU HAVE BEEN UNDECIDED THROUGH A LOT OF THIS? WHO IS GOING TO GET YOUR VOTE? |
| 02:04:03 |
|
I DO NOT KNOW YET. WHOEVER I DO VOTE FOR I WANT TO HAVE MORALS, I WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO REPRESENT... |
| 02:04:30 |
|
AND D YOU THINK THEY WILL BE EQUAL OR ONE OF THE TWO CANDIDATES WILL BE BETTER IN GAINING OUR RESPECT... |
| 02:04:43 |
|
I AM THINKING ONE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE MORE. |
| 02:04:48 |
|
AND THAT WOULD BE? |
| 02:04:49 |
|
I WOULD SAY JOHN MCCAIN. |
| 02:04:50 |
|
STEVEN? |
| 02:04:55 |
|
YOU WANT ME TO SAY WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO VOTE FOR? I THINK I AM VOTING FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING... |
| 02:05:09 |
|
BE A GOOD LEADER AND GET OUR COUNTRY UNDER CONTROL. |
| 02:05:15 |
|
THE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS, IMPROVE ON THEM, WORK TOWARDS GETTING US OUT OF IRAQ. IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME,... |
| 02:05:27 |
|
PROBABLY VOTE FOR OBAMA AT THIS GREAT AND I WOULD SAY YOU ARE THE NEW FACE OF AMERICA, BEEN BY RACIAL,... |
| 02:05:41 |
|
DO YOUR JOB. MAKE US PROUD OF OUR COUNTRY. MAKE A FOREIGN TIMES STRONGER. BUILD SOMETHING FOR THE... |
| 02:05:57 |
|
AND DO YOU THINK OBAMA CAN MAKE OUR FOREIGN TIES STRONGER? |
| 02:06:03 |
|
I THINK SO, HE IS RELATABLE AND TALK TO THESE PEOPLE, HERE DIFFERENT SIDES AND BRING NEW IDEAS TO THE... |
| 02:06:12 |
|
JUST KEEP US SAFE AND STRONG AND LOOK OUT FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE COUNTRY AND NOT THE POLITICS... |
| 02:06:32 |
|
I WILL PROBABLY VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA AND I TRUST MY VOTE WITH HIM AND HOPE HE WILL ALLOW US TO BRING... |
| 02:06:48 |
|
PUT THE COUNTRY FIRST AND NOT HIS POLITICAL PARTY OR SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP, AND PEOPLE ARE NOT STUPID,... |
| 02:07:01 |
|
YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU WILL FIND OUT THAT WE HAVE THE VOTING... |
| 02:07:23 |
|
THE WAY I FEEL TODAY, I AM LEANING TOWARD MCCAIN. MY FEAR IS THAT HE IS GOING TO DROP DEAD AND SARAH... |
| 02:07:58 |
|
AT THE RISK OF HAVING SARAH PALIN AS PRESIDENT IS LESS TO YOU THEN THE RISK OF HAVING BARACK OBAMA... |
| 02:08:12 |
|
YES. |
| 02:08:16 |
|
YES, AND THAT IS BECAUSE? |
| 02:08:18 |
|
JUST MY GUT FEELING. |
| 02:08:21 |
|
WHY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THIS AND THEY ARE GOING TO SAY I DO NOT GET ACCOKEEK. SHE ALWAYS VOTED... |
| 02:08:40 |
|
I DO NOT FEEL THE STRENGTH, AND MY FEAR IS IF HE IS OPEN TO LISTENING TO EVERYBODY -- AND I BELIEVE... |
| 02:09:13 |
|
THE THINGS HE HAS DONE -- HE SAID YOU CANNOT BUY THE THINGS HE HAS DONE. , THE PERFECTION, HOW HE... |
| 02:09:38 |
|
DO YOU FEEL IT? |
| 02:09:40 |
|
IFILL WHAT? -- FEEL WHAT? |
| 02:09:47 |
|
I AGREE WITH COOKIE THAT I THINK HE IS TO PERFECT. EVERYBODY -- EVERYTHING SEEMS LIKE IT IS REHEARSED.... |
| 02:10:07 |
|
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO THIS CONSTANTLY. |
| 02:10:11 |
|
LIKE AN ADVERTISING FIRM CAME ALONG AND GAVE HIM PARAMETERS AND SAID THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO STAY... |
| 02:10:20 |
|
PEOPLE LOOK MORE TO OPRAH AND WHAT THEY ARE THINKING. PEOPLE NEED TO USE THEIR BRAINS. |
| 02:10:28 |
|
WE WILL NOT SLANDER OPRAH. |
| 02:10:31 |
|
I LOVE OPRAH. |
| 02:10:36 |
|
LET'S HEAR IT FOR OPRAH. |
| 02:10:40 |
|
MCCAIN, JUST BE HONEST. |
| 02:10:47 |
|
BRANDY, THE WIVES, TELL ME WHAT YOUR THINKING? |
| 02:10:54 |
|
I VOTED FOR OBAMA, WHICH IS WHO I AM LEAVING FOR. I WOULD JUST CAUTION HIM TO BE SERVED BY SMART,... |
| 02:11:50 |
|
THIS IS INTERESTING. DID YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME? THIS IS MARVELOUS. I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. A WEEK... |
| 02:12:28 |
|
I THANK YOU. |
| 02:12:30 |
|
THANK YOU. |
| 02:12:34 |
|
GET HOME JUST IN TIME FOR THE BROWNS FOOTBALL GAME. THAT YOU VERY, A VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE... |
| 02:12:50 |
|
LATER A PANEL OF REPORTERS SPOKE TO PETER HART. |
| 02:13:02 |
|
LET ME GET INITIAL IMPRESSIONS. HERE IS WHAT I THOUGHT COMING OUT OF THIS? |
| 02:13:12 |
|
I WAS AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO STILL FELT UNDECIDED, GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION. AND... |
| 02:13:49 |
|
PEOPLE OR VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHERE THE COUNTRY IS RIGHT NOW AND THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO BE... |
| 02:14:20 |
|
1 -- THE ABRUPT YOUTH -- THE USUAL CORPORATE MALFEASANCE. THERE WAS A SENSE I THOUGHT OF THAT WE HAVE... |
| 02:14:59 |
|
I THOUGHT, PETER, THAT THE DIFFERENCE IN PERCEPTION THAT THEY HAVE FROM WALKED I GUESS MANY OF US... |
| 02:16:08 |
|
I WAS STRUCK BY THE ABSENCE OF DEFINITION OF OBAMA AT THIS POINT IN THE CAMPAIGN. IN TERMS OF WHAT... |
| 02:16:40 |
|
THE POLISH IS A VERY MIDWESTERN ATTITUDE. THAT DID NOT PRICE -- SURPRISE ME SO MUCH. THERE REALLY... |
| 02:17:26 |
|
AND WORKED THEIR RESPONDENTS THAT STOOD OUT TO YOU THAT SAID, OH -- WHO STOOD OUT? |
| 02:17:37 |
|
RALPH AND COOKIE. |
| 02:17:44 |
|
I THINK RANDYBRANDY STOOD OUT. SHE WAS THE EMBODIMENT OF THIS ELECTION. HER HUSBAND IS LIVING IN MARYLAND.... |
| 02:18:25 |
|
SHE IS EMBLEMATIC OF THE FOOT THAT THEY THOUGHT THEY MIGHT HAVE GET THAT THEY MAY NOT. |
| 02:18:36 |
|
YOU CAN SEE A DISCORDANT SELECTION. |
| 02:18:39 |
|
COOKIE. |
| 02:18:42 |
|
SHE TRIED VERY HARD. |
| 02:18:46 |
|
IT IS A GREAT TESTIMONIAL TO JOHN MCCAIN. THEY ALWAYS SAID HE COULD BEAT DEMOCRATS, AND SHE VOTED FOR... |
| 02:19:03 |
|
SHE IS A RARITY IN THIS ELECTION, A DEMOCRAT WHO IS SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION.... |
| 02:19:21 |
|
ROUTE IS THE MOST FASCINATING. HE SAYS HE IS LEANING OBAMA AND HE WAS A GEORGE WALLACE VOTERS, AND... |
| 02:20:01 |
|
THE OVERALL SUBDUED NATURE OF HOW PEOPLE ARE APPROACHING WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY BIG ELECTION AND... |
| 02:20:31 |
|
AND WHILE THEY TOLD YOU ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THEIR OWN LIVES, THEY WENT BEYOND THE ISSUE OF... |
| 02:21:02 |
|
IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF MEN AND WOMEN WE HAVE LOST IN THE WAR, THE STATE HAS PARTICULARLY BEEN HARD... |
| 02:21:14 |
|
IT WAS QUITE STRIKING HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE SEEING TELLUS -- TELL US WHAT SOME SORT OF SACRIFICE WE... |
| 02:22:12 |
|
WHAT STRUCK ME WAS I FELT LIKE I HAD 2 1/2 DISCUSSIONS GOING ON HERE. I FELT I WAS VERY CENTERED AS... |
| 02:24:36 |
|
THERE WAS VERY LITTLE CONNECTION BETWEEN MCCAIN AND BUSCH. -- AND BUSH. TALK ABOUT A CENTRAL PREMISE... |
| 02:25:13 |
|
AFRAID TO HOPE. IT GOES BACK TO WHAT DAN WAS SAYING. IT IS SYMPTOMATIC TO THE HEADLINES. IT IS OVERWHELMING... |
| 02:25:28 |
