Play from 0:00[0:00]" As for -- the record to talk about the end of the RNC. Last night with John McCain speech. He's not known for his oratorical skills I think he did a pretty darn good job."

Play from 0:11[0:11]" It was about as good as he could be he's not a great -- is not inspirational. And I think the Republican Democrat. With their convention if nothing else they'd left. Saint Paul unified. And energized party problem for the Republicans of course is the Republican and has greatly diminished. Only about a third of the electorate. These days are Republicans. So they've got to really reach out to. Crossover Democrats and independents. And we won't know how successful. That move has been sometime."

Play from 0:47[0:47]" Let's talk about. The specifics. Did John McCain getting into the specifics about how we he would fix the economy our energy dependence on foreign oil. And things like that was he specific enough."

Play from 1:00[1:00]" I didn't think so I bought the -- weakest part of the whole Republican convention in fact. All highlighted by John McCain's speech was a real lack of any kind of India. Substance they really very politely passed over in broad brush strokes things like the economy and health care plans and education and how to get -- off fossil fuels so. Those. Listening at home who will -- it's all right tell me exactly. Which you could do to improve the country improve my life might have been a little bit disappointed. In the lack of -- sale."

Play from 1:39[1:39]" And of course we heard him wax politically about his running mates on do you think do you think republicans' goal they so certainly go away energized. I guess the bigger and broader audiences the rest of us."

Play from 1:53[1:53]" Republicans are very energized by the others are enthused by this ticket remains to be seen certainly go up. -- tellem spoke shall. You know her speech was much more energizing. Much more charismatic. -- John McCain John McCain's speech definitely did not measure up to out of Sara -- and which is both the good news and the bad news. For the Republican Party."

Play from 2:18[2:18]" He always strikes those that. Wonderful. Position when he prays and congratulated Barack Obama. "

Play from 2:26[2:26]" that was you know really an excellent we'll move on his part. And certainly no one could doubt after this convention is patriotism. Is great service has great sacrifices. For the country the problem for the Republicans in this campaign though it they're trying to square to circles they're trying to square one circle which is. We -- empower all of these years but wouldn't really the party of -- John McCain insert their -- are illegal ones were going to change things in Washington even though we're. We represent supported it's been charged in the second circle they're trying to square. Is that John McCain wants to come off as someone who is going to reach across the aisles changed the conversations. Not shout at one another and yet. His speech came after a convention devoted. To attacking Barack Obama everything from. Mocking -- rather nasty denunciations. Didn't get close to circle going to be tough square."

Play from 3:24[3:24]" Well the polls show them still pretty much -- van and of the pundits say it is on Barack Obama's to win. Why then is -- not far ahead in the polls."

Play from 3:36[3:36]" Well number one early polls really gotten. Very much they're not -- and number two very -- challenging candidates are. Get very far in the polls and sometimes when they do as a Mike Dukakis in 1980 he can be very fleeting. Number three John McCain is. There's a good brand new Republican brand is not very good right now but that John McCain brand has been a very strong one for a long time Barack Obama is still relatively unknown and finally. -- is the great American dilemma as -- armored doll looks sociologists political race and we have no idea. To what extent. Barack Obama's poll numbers might be held down by -- let me remind everyone when John Kennedy ran in 1960 the second not the first cap. Nominated by a major party he only got about a third. Although white Protestant vote in America so don't underestimate the forces are all of race religion and other such elements of the -- politics."

Play from 4:39[4:39]" All right served very well we appreciate it so much."
