and that's what a whole generation of new music makers do. yes, the 2000's are the age of the machine, but that doesn't mean there's not a search for the soul inside the machine. >> 1, 2, 3, go. tonight's the night, let's live it up. i got my money, let's spend it up. go out and smash it, like, oh my god. jump off that sofa, let's kick it off. >> i know that we'll have a ball if we get down and go out and just lose it all. >> i feel stressed out, i wanna let it go. let's go way out, spaced out and losing all control. >> here we come, here we go, we gotta rock. easy come, easy go, now we on top. fill the shot, body rock, rock it. >> i'm voting for barack obama not because he's black, i'm voting for barack obama because he's brilliant. >> this is very personal for me. >> presidential campaign's a tough business. >> i feel change in the air.
11:01 pm
>> the democratic party has thrown us women aside. >> we're going to go to washington, and we're going to shake things up. >> i can't trust obama, he's an arab. >> the first african american president of the united states. >> failure to act now will turn crisis into a catastrophe. >> this is not health reform, this is control. >> how is that hope-y, change-y stuff working out for ya? ♪ ♪
11:02 pm
>> the american people have sent a resounding and unmistakable message of change and new direction for america. >> it's been just five days since democrats took control of both houses of congress, but already the focus is shifting to the next big political prize, the white house. >> when the election season begins in 2007, the climate is not very good if you are a republican. the war in iraq is very unpopular. and many democrats think they
11:03 pm
can win the presidency. >> senator biden now joining a growing list of democratic candidates who are announcing their intentions for '08. >> on the democratic side, you had a lot of candidates, senators like chris dodd and joe biden, john edwards, bill richardson. we looked at all of these people who are running, and in the end, you thought, "well, this is going to be hillary clinton's time." >> for some time now, it has been no secret that senator hillary clinton would run for president, but, today, on her website, she made it official. >> i'm not just starting a campaign, though, i'm beginning a conversation. >> after six years as a senator, people believe in our poll by overwhelming margins that she has the credentials and the leadership skills to be president. >> and i'm in it to win it with your help. >> she'd had a lot of experience. her husband had been president, a pretty popular president. she had all the money. she had all the backers. she had all the big names. it looked like a pretty sure bet. >> senator barack obama threw his hat into the crowded ring
11:04 pm
today in springfield, illinois. >> one thing you can say with certainty about illinois senator barack obama is that there has never been another presidential candidate like him. he has a foreign-sounding name that rhymes with osama. his middle name is hussein. and he's admitted to using marijuana and cocaine as a teenager. racially, he is half black/half white. and, in terms of political experience, green. >> as a senate candidate in 2004, barack obama stepped onto the national stage and wowed the democratic national convention with his eloquence. >> there is not a liberal america and a conservative america. there is the united states of america. there is not a black america and a white america and latino america and asian america. there's the united states of america. >> i encouraged barack obama to give thought to the presidency early on. i felt that he could really bring people together. and, increasingly, the longer you're in washington, the less
11:05 pm
viable you are. >> america is hungry for change. america wants something new. >> propelled by the media hungry for a fresh face and a good story, he has graced the covers of time and newsweek, the pages of men's vogue, and has been endorsed by oprah, a far cry from the way he's treated in the corridors of power in washington, where he is 88th on the senate's list of seniority. >> the clintons looked at obama and said, "you're not qualified to be president." they liked him. they thought he had a great future, but their view was, "you don't run for president after you've been in the senate for like a week and a half." >> early polls show him third, trailing both senator hillary clinton and john edwards. >> we've got two different americas. we've got one for all those who are doing very, very well and then one for everybody else. >> edwards is focused on an eradication of poverty. but the 2008 election was all about the war in iraq. >> you said that if you were president in 2002, you would
11:06 pm
have not gone into war. >> right. >> however, how can you then explain the seeming contradiction from your voting to support the invasion? >> i do not believe that most of us who voted to give the president authority thought he would so misuse the authority we gave him. >> hillary clinton tries to explain it away. and that was ultimately unsatisfactory, especially on an issue that was so divisive. >> i am proud that i opposed this war from the start, because i thought that it would lead to some -- the disastrous conditions that we've seen on the ground in iraq. >> obama was really smart, extraordinarily articulate, but vague. >> i went on your website to find some information about you. and i was wondering what really are your top issues, because it's not online. >> right, well, i'm not sure whether you're going to the campaign website or my senate website. >> at a healthcare forum, he didn't deliver. and critics say a foreign policy
11:07 pm
speech this week was long on vision, short on specifics. >> 2007 was a tough year for obama. he seemed to be trying to wing it. he had yet to demonstrate to people that he really understood policy. >> that's sharpton's blackberry. is that hillary calling? >> obama is having trouble convincing democrats to say, "i'm going to go with obama over clinton." they did not want to risk losing this election. >> i'm not asking that you take me on a leap of faith. i'm asking you to look at the evidence and the record. >> we were feeling pretty good about her prospects. but our polling showed there was this obstacle for her to prove that she could indeed be commander in chief, even though she was a woman. >> when you are attacked, you have to deck your opponents. and that is what i believe -- >> so, we were running on the fact that she was incredibly experienced, she could start this job on day one and just go. >> senator hillary clinton has more than doubled her lead over
11:08 pm
barack obama. >> we were as far as 30 points behind in the national polls. and our view was if we didn't win the first primary in iowa, there would be no chance to win the nomination. and, so, he spent more than 80 days there in 2007 -- >> can i say hello? >> meeting one-on-one and in small groups. >> are any of these people over 30? >> i'm on my way to mason city and then to sioux city and then to council bluffs and then out and around. >> how many people are going canvassing today? it's a little brisk outside. it'll be good for ya. walk quick, talk fast. >> it's time that we moved from sound bites to sound solutions. >> we need to continue to press, keep the energy up. there is a huge momentum. >> iowa, you can make the difference.
11:09 pm
>> tomorrow night, the future of the free world is riding on your shoulders. don't feel any pressure. >> tonight, across this state in all 99 counties, neighbors are gathering, huddled together under the banner of their chosen candidate. >> an unprecedented turnout due in large part to the unusually high number of first-time caucus goers. >> the stereotypical iowa caucus goer is, you know, older, female. what barack obama did was he went after the young people. and we all thought, "well, that's just silly. i mean, they're never going to vote." we were horribly, horribly wrong. >> cnn is now ready to project that senator barack obama will win the iowa democratic caucuses, a dramatic development indeed. >> iowa's the whitest place
11:10 pm
outside the north pole. i mean, he's not just winning, he's winning handily there. >> no black people supposed to win in iowa, because there ain't no black people in iowa. right? so, how did this happen? and they say, "wait a minute. what does this mean going forward?" >> we are one nation. we are one people. and our time for change has come. the chase ink business premier card is made for people like sam who make...? ...everyday products... ...designed smarter. like a smart coffee grinder - that orders fresh beans for you. oh, genius! for more breakthroughs like that... ...i need a breakthrough card... like ours! with 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more... plus unlimited 2% cash back on all other purchases! and with greater spending potential, sam can keep making smart ideas... ...a brilliant reality! the ink business premier card from chase for business. make more of what's yours. so how's it going?

11:14 pm
and now it's happening here in new hampshire. >> the obama steamroller pulled into new hampshire today catapulted by the big win in iowa, and eager for more. >> the victory in iowa invested us with a kind of hubris that was visible. i mean, we campaigned around new hampshire like a conquering army. >> we are about to make history and you want to be a part of it. >> i've been a lifelong republican who is now a registered democrat. >> it's all because of barack obama? >> correct. >> barack obama is surging here, nine points ahead of hillary clinton in one of the latest polls, where just a few days ago they were tied. but senator clinton is fighting back hard. >> i don't know since when experience became some kind of liability in running for the highest office in our land. >> she got really gritty. and was like, "i'm going to fight this thing out town by town." >> this day, this last high-pressure day before the new hampshire primary, turned into a day unlike any other on the
11:15 pm
campaign trail for hillary clinton. >> she's taken aback by what's happened. she's losing against this guy named barack obama who no one had ever heard of months before. and she's frustrated. you can tell, it's palpable. >> as a woman, i know it's hard to get out of the house and to get ready. and my question is very personal. how do you do it? how do you keep upbeat and so wonderful? >> it's not easy. it's not easy. and i couldn't do it if i just didn't, you know, passionately believe it was the right thing to do. you know, i have so many opportunities from this country. i just don't want to see us fall backwards. you know? so -- >> all anyone is talking about is hillary clinton and that rare display of emotion. >> and some are wondering if the pressure is actually getting to her. >> if the emotional strain is
11:16 pm
too much to bear on the way to the oval office, how can we expect hillary to handle it when she's sitting behind that big desk? >> you know, presidential campaigns are tough business, but being president of the united states is also a very tough business. >> they attacked her as a woman. you know, if we cry, then we're weak. >> what would happen if barack obama cried on the campaign trail? >> they'd probably say he was a very sensitive male. >> yeah. >> that was a moment that working women could say, "you know what? she's relatable for once." and they came out the next day in new hampshire to support her. >> senator hillary clinton has shocked the political world. she has beaten barack obama. >> i listen to you and, in the process, i found my own voice. >> this just had to be a blow to barack obama and his campaign. they really thought they had this. >> they came expecting a coronation.
11:17 pm
instead, barack obama had to concede. however, they're not throwing in the towel by any means. >> the energy is all on barack obama and hillary clinton. so, we get through all of these first primaries, and john edwards and his two americas are not getting any traction. >> it's time for me to step aside so that history can blaze its path. >> it is now certain that for the first time in america a major political party will nominate either a woman or an african american to feel chang. what about you? >> the united states political royalty was endorsing this first-term senator, and turning its back on the clintons. for the clintons, it was personal, because they had worked with ted kennedy, they were friends with ted kennedy. and it was a real blow for us. hillary said, "where do we go from here?" and, frankly, we didn't have the
11:18 pm
answer. >> hillary clinton never anticipated, expected to have a well-financed opponent, a well-organized opponent like barack obama. >> her entire strategy is based on winning early on and closing down shop, moving on to the general election. but that's not happening. they're out of money. and that is a huge problem. but she fights and keeps fighting. >> how are you? >> clinton has loaned her campaign $5 million of her own money to see her through the near term. >> i'm going to keep making our case until we have a nominee, whoever she may be. >> every chair should have had one of these cards. >> got it. >> i want you to fill it out. i want you to become part of this process. >> people underestimated not just him as a candidate, but the political operation that he was able to put into place. and i think his background in
11:19 pm
community organizing helps throughout the campaign. >> call these folks up and tell them you will go with them. >> the two campaigns have pursued markedly different strategies. clinton has focused her attention on the big prizes, new york, new jersey, california, where large populations mean lots of convention delegates. obama is hoping to run the board. he's visited 15 states in the past week, including red states like kansas and idaho. >> they told me there weren't any democrats in idaho. but i didn't believe them. >> since the 1960s, the democrats had catered to this white, moderate middle. but obama decides to appeal to a new generation of young folks and to usually alienated communities of color. >> how's it going st. louis? >> and he was able to change the democratic map and really open it up again. >> turnout is off the charts heavy. ten thousand voters in one
11:20 pm
county the first day. ten times the turnout in the last presidential election. >> obama's campaign also harnessed the internet as an organizing and fundraising tool. >> over $100 million online from 1.5 million people. >> it allowed him to compete well past super tuesday, outspending clinton every step of the way. >> obama not only has momentum, he's starting to pull away. in the delegate count, he has a sizable lead. >> we're turning out to be a scrappy little team. >> barack obama was the first black candidate who really had a chance to win. he was cruising along, and then out come these tapes. >> barack knows what it means to be a black man living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich, white people. hillary can never know that. hillary ain't never been called a [bleep] (woman) yes!

new polls say barack obama is taking a big hit because of his pastor. >> the government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law, and then wants us to sing "god bless america." no, no, no. not god bless america, god [bleep] america. that's in the bible -- >> here you have the scary black
11:25 pm
preacher saying things that are clearly anti-american. it had the potential to derail his candidacy. >> that reverend wright looks like a raving maniac. >> i'm fearful that obama feels the same way. >> this is going to scare the hell out of white people. and you know that that's true. >> no, it's designed to attempt to scare. >> why you have been listening to this pastor and close to him for nearly 20 years? >> reverend wright is somebody who is like an uncle or a family member who you may strongly object to what they have to say. >> i mean, uncles are blood relatives who you're kind of stuck with at family gatherings, even when they say outrageous things. you know, you can't get rid of them. you can walk out of a church. i mean, you can go up to a pastor and say -- >> well, and as i said -- >> "this is wrong." >> he went on cable tv and just got pummeled. >> do you repudiate the man? do you repudiate the comments? >> and he called me that night and he said, "i want to make a speech on race." >> senator barack obama was working on this speech on race until early this morning. he's hoping, of course, not only to diffuse the controversy about
11:26 pm
those incendiary -- >> we were in the green room and senator obama turned to me and said, "i know everybody's nervous, but i'm going to go out there and give this speech. and maybe people won't accept it. and then i won't be president of the united states. but at least i'll have said what i want to say." he said, "and that's worth something." >> i have already condemned in unequivocal terms the statements of reverend wright that have caused such controversy. as imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. i can no more disown him than i can disown my white grandmother, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed her by on the street. these people are part of me and they are part of america, this country that i love. >> i thought it was taking a moment that is normally responded to by a politician with denials and avoidance, "we're not going to comment any further." and, instead, he made something useful out of it. >> the profound mistake of reverend wright's sermons is not that he spoke about racism in
11:27 pm
our society, it's that he spoke as if our society was static. what we know is that america can change. >> hillary clinton had a chance to catch obama from behind. but when obama gave his great speech on race, that was it, that was the end. she was never going to catch up. >> one year, four months and 18 days after she started her campaign, hillary clinton waded through an emotional crowd of supporters to end it. >> although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it. >> even when she did concede, her supporters were still so passionate and so inspired by her that they wouldn't accept barack obama. >> the democratic party has thrown us women aside. >> they were called the pumas.
11:28 pm
party unity my [bleep] is what puma stood for. >> it will be obama/biden. the veteran delaware democratic senator had been selected as barack obama's running mate. >> going into the general election, joe biden provided a level of experience that obama didn't have. but, more important, the assumption for many people was that this country was not ready to vote for an african american president. so, biden could help appeal to working-class white voters who might otherwise not vote for him. >> the american people didn't get to know me yesterday, as they're just getting to know senator obama. >> on the republican side, you have john mccain, who almost dropped out of the race. he had no money. he decides that he's going to dig in. and, remarkably, he's able to win the nomination. but this is not a great year to be the incumbent party.
11:29 pm
>> i'm not comparing myself to president bush on anything. i'm running my own campaign. >> what's remarkable is that both parties want to change. john mccain describes himself as a maverick. so, he felt that he had a legitimate claim to being the anti-bush in the republican party. >> obama and mccain will be fighting for the female voter, mccain seeing an opportunity with older and working-class women angry at how the primary turned out. >> i've spent the last few months looking for a running mate who can best help me shake up washington and make it start working again for the people that are counting on us. >> john mccain faced the same problem that hillary clinton faced. all of a sudden, john mccain's kind of sage, elder statesman persona doesn't look so fresh. >> governor sarah palin of the great state of alaska. >> hillary left 18 million

>> the top google searches going on today, the hot trends, look at this. palin, palin, vice-president, governor of alaska. but it's fair to say that it's not every day the web is abuzz with the mccain presidential race. >> sarah palin was unknown to republican voters. she was the maverick in her own way. a young, dynamic woman that had risen from local mayor, pta president to the highest office in alaska. she was the success story that everyone could relate to. >> she's a lifelong nra member. and, in a recent visit with alaskan troops in kuwait, she showed she knows her way around a gun. >> she doesn't just vote with the nra, she goes out and kills a caribou, skins it and cooks it for dinner. >> by john mccain's choosing sarah palin, that certainly was a curveball. and i think it gave some new energy to the republican ticket. >> i'm not one of those movers and shakers within the republican party that i think conventionally you would think would be tapped. >> why not go for a woman? why not make some history? when you're in an america that has the itch for change, it looks like it could be a really
11:35 pm
smart pick. and maybe she'll get some of the women who are mad over hillary clinton having lost. >> ladies and gentlemen, the next vice-president of the united states. >> i was hired to work on the obama campaign after hillary conceded. and we were watching sarah palin give her convention speech. >> before i became governor, i was mayor of my hometown. and since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. a small town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities. >> she did what hillary clinton could not do. and that was deliver a precise attack without looking like a [bleep]
11:36 pm
and that was scary to us. >> you know, they say the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull, lipstick. >> that's one of the best convention speeches i've ever seen. mccain, who had been eight points down to obama with no possibility of turning it around, by the time sarah palin finished speaking, he was five points up. >> and the campaign announced today that it has raised $8 million online. and that's just been since sarah palin gave that speech less than 24 hours ago. >> with your help, we're going to go to washington, and we're going to shake things up. >> this is the real shocker. among white women, mccain leads obama 53-41. before the conventions, that was 50-42 obama. that is sarah palin. >> if she can be a mother and a homemaker, she can be vice-president. they have more skills than anybody. >> sarah palin really does steal
11:37 pm
the thunder. and she garners all the headlines. and that is scary to barack obama. >> it was just like a month ago, they were all saying, "oh, it's experience, experience, experience." and then they chose palin and they started talking about change, change, change. what happened? >> palin has yet to hold a news conference and steers well clear of the national reporters who travel with her everywhere. >> eventually, she's going to have to answer questions and not be sequestered. eventually, she's going to have to answer questions about her record. >> when it comes to establishing your world view, i was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world? >> i've read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media -- >> and like what ones -- >> coming -- >> specifically? i'm curious that you -- >> all of them, any of them that have been in front of me -- >> there's no more teleprompter. there wasn't anything for her to memorize in preparation for her interviews with katie couric. and when she was then asked
11:38 pm
about foreign policy challenges, she had nothing to draw upon. >> you've cited alaska's proximity to russia as part of your foreign policy experience. what did you mean by that? >> that alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, russia, and on our other side, the land boundary that we have with canada. as putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the united states of america, where do they go? it's alaska. it's just right over the border. >> you've got alaska here and this right here is water. and then that's -- up there is russia. so, we keep an eye on them. >> tina fey doesn't need new material. all she needs to do is to read a transcript of sarah palin's interview with katie couric to get huge laughs. it's embarrassing not simply to palin, but to mccain. >> hi, how are you? >> great. how are you? >> i just found from mccain's campaign manager that they
11:39 pm
actually only met once before he started seriously considering her as a contender. >> joe lieberman really was the candidate he wanted. but he was convinced by his aides that that would create a revolt inside the republican party. joe lieberman is pro-choice, he's got liberal positions on other issues. >> let me quote from gail collins. she says, "the idea that women are going to race off to vote for any candidate with the same internal plumbing is both offensive and historically wrong." >> if john mccain wins, this woman will be one 72-year-old's heartbeat away from being president of the united states. and if that doesn't scare the [bleep] out of you, it should. that's all i have to say.
11:40 pm
i've always had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep— you know, insomnia. but then i found quviviq, an fda-approved medication for adults with insomnia. and i'm glad i found it. you wouldn't believe some of the things people suggested to help me sleep. nature sounds? ahh, no thanks. my friend's white-noise idea. nope. and i'm not counting sheep.

not on the... carpet. insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. so i know how important a good night's sleep is. that's why i take quviviq nightly. maybe i should tell them how it works, taye? quviviq works differently than medications you may have taken in the past. it's thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia: overactive wake signals. and when taken every night, studies showed sleep continued to improve over time. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day, like walking, driving and making or eating food. worsening depression, including suicidal thoughts, may occur. most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness. it's quviviq. ask your doctor if it's right for you. ♪ ♪

11:47 pm
were pockets of the country that were pushing it that way. >> i will respect him. and i want -- no, no. i want everyone to be respectful. >> john mccain is now so maverick-y, he's mavericking away from his own supporters and getting booed for it. >> he finds himself in this position having created this monster that he can no longer control. there's a way to play this game so that you end up with no good choices. we are watching a campaign that has maneuvered itself into exactly that position. >> as the polls open from the east to the west across this country, the same picture continued to emerge, eager voters showing up before the polls even opened. and, in many cases, lines as far as the eye could see. >> all of it felt like, "is this a real thing?" like, "is it possible that america could do this?" and, so, it was all like a collective holding of our breath. >> we're only a few seconds away from the top of the hour when these states will be closing -- >> the rules are that we had to wait until all the voting had ended. and i remember, at 10:59:50, my executive producer was in the ear saying, "ten seconds."

11:49 pm
but tonight change has come to america. >> it was just overwhelming. there was my friend of some years now president-elect. and you could see almost instantly a change. you could see the weight of the world on his shoulders. he was already thinking about the responsibilities that had just flowed to him, and the gravity of the moment was very, very palpable. >> or even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime. the road ahead will be long. our climb will be steep. we may not get there in one year or even in one term, but, america, i have never been more hopeful than i am tonight that we will get there. i promise you, we as a people will get there .

together. the president is being very pragmatic about this. he's open to listening. and that's the way we're going to accomplish this goal. >> obama believes that republicans will vote with him on something that's reasonable, that if he compromises, they will as well. but over the course of the next few months, it turns into a terrible political challenge. >> as members of congress return to their districts for their month-long summer break to hear from their constituents, the shouting at so-called town meetings has sometimes reached a fever pitch. >> i don't want this country turning into russia, turning into a socialized country. >> this is not health reform, this is control. >> i want to know if it's coming out of my paycheck. >> we really were seeing people who had never been involved in politics before, grandmothers, grandfathers across the country saying, "hey, give me my country back." 2009 was the awakening of the tea party. >> sarah palin has now waded into the heated healthcare debate in a new facebook

"time" magazine declared the republican party all but extinct. and look at where we are now. the voters have not gotten what they asked for. >> the mistake is to think that the country speaks as one, that we're all one thing. what we really are is a mass of reactions. we're always reacting to the last thing that happened. so, if the country goes left, you can be damn sure it's going to go right. and if the country is looking good for rich people one day, well, then the poor people are going to hate that and get angry. if we think that we're past race, well, racism will come right back. our pendulum swings. and, in the long run, we make progress, but it can be pretty ugly to watch. >> what a week. the state of hawaii released my
