00:05is awake but we would suggest no one in either of the campaign nerve centers of these candidates
00:11and few people in the land will sleep until after a late hour when Senator Cassidy or Kennedy
00:16will mount the platform behind me step to the microphone and make either a concession speech
00:21or a victory statement. Right now we having us a thousand dollar conversation.
00:28If the press ever heard this, hell it is a million dollar story.
00:43Hey look, I'm the only goddamn president elected who has to bring his own fucking shine box with him.
00:49You came in late on the whole thing. Just imagine it's tomorrow lunchtime when you beat that charmer by a landslide.
00:58It's not gonna be a landslide, Lane. There's not much in it. And those rats, hell it ain't dirtier than me.
