[0:00]" Are talking with Michael Kirk the producer of the choice 2008. And that by many accounts this is such a historic election on many many fronts. What brought these two candidates Barack Obama and John McCain to the point -- now."
[0:14]" I think you know that's what -- films about mr. great character study of police to Monaro and the one common attribute I think they have visits. Naked ambition just absolute desire. It's titled what it takes me to want to be president now but. But these two guys really do and Paris curious to go back and look at all the elements in the -- that brought them to the success place."
[0:39]" John McCain has been at this for a long time he certainly tried. Eight years ago. So we know that his ambition and beaten by the way having a lot of desire having a lot of ambition not a bad thing."
[0:51]" Absolutely not to miss what you bought I think its I think these two people are. Very different and -- they probably wouldn't have been nominated by either party for years ago -- almost any other time in American history. But they're nominated because there's a desire. We figured at least from from what we've seen -- for some kind of change fundamental change in a funny way. But both of these guys are historic candidates in the sense that they are very different and their respective. The parties and and very different than any other candidate has ever run."

[2:46]" And an interesting concept in the way that you present the program is that you do not interview these two men directly."
[2:53]" No I think we've all had enough for the -- we know that they can't help but even if they want to. Tell the truth there and spin -- there and candidate mode but all the people we talked we interviewed more than sixty people in this film of the year that it took us to make it. And of their friends associates family members people in close to that at some enemies. People who don't look that can't help themselves.
