>> we were paying more attention to muskie, because muskie was supposed to be the winner. his staff made a terrible mistake in new hampshire. one of his leading campaign people predicted that -- she said, if ed muskie does not win 50% of the vote, i will eat my hat. he won 46% of the vote, but against that prediction, mcgovern was essentially the winner of the new hampshire primary and muskie did not recover from that. if muskie had not stumbled -- mcgovern knowing the game, which he invented, the delegate selection rules, probably would have won anyway, but the fact that muskie had this string of mistakes and bad luck certainly provided the opening for mcgovern. >> and george wallace? the role of him in this primary? >> well, wallace was a spoiler. he tried to be a spoiler. he got past muskie in florida. wallace won the florida primary and muskie finished fourth. that was kind of the last nail in muskie's coffin and another thing that opened up the way for mcgovern. >> so, muskie stumbled, but did mcgovern make any mistakes in this primary? >> he would later. he got a lit

there would be a backlash against muskie. these things all came out, but they really were not the reason ed muskie did not get the nomination. musky's own campaigns had problems that were just as troublesome to him as were mcgovern's. >> we will talk about and must be coming up brigit -- we will talk more about ed muskie coming up. first, we need to talk about why george mcgovern would run in the first place. scott farris, what makes him decide to run for the presidency in 1972? >> if it goes back to 1968 when he filled in for bobby kennedy and was the standard bearer for his delicate because they wanted him to be a stand in for kennedy. been participated in a debate between your country and gene mccarthy. everyone thought mcgovern had won that debate. it was that moment that he realized he had presidential aspirations because he had gone on a national stage between two of the beating democrats in the country. he began considering a run at that point and decided fairly early in 1969 that he would be a candidate. he felt he wi

seems that we've watched this across both gender sides, ed musky was cried in new hampshire. -- what's her name pat scloeder from colorado, senator clinton, hillary clinton and, of course, this guy now. my experience behind the scenes all cry when they are in trouble politically. they are exhausted and emotional. what does it tell you? >> comes out across to me phony, at this every day and right at the end it seems like the tear ducts come in and strikes me as phoney. >> you think it's an appeal for sympathy? >> oh, yeah, really. >> you're a hard guy. >> absolutely. >> i'm going to go to a woman now and see if there's a gender -- do you agree with that that this is a show, that the tears are for show or crocodile tears? >> not usually, no. i think they are genuine at the time. >> do you think it's driven by tiredness and exsnaufgs. >> that could be a good part of it, for sure. >> what do you think? >> i think when you're tired you're emotionally vulnerable. >> do you think it shows newt gingrich to be more of a mench? >> i don't think i better respond to that. >> you don't wa

ed muskie was supposed to have cried in virginia.lary clinton, and of course this guy now. my experiences behind the scenes, they all cry when they're in trouble politically. it's a personal reaction, usually when they're totally exhausted, they get emotional. what's it tell you? >> to me, it comes off as phony. they're at this every day, day in and day out, and all of a sudden, right near the end, it seems like the tear ducts come in. and to me, it strikes me as phony. >> do you think it's an appeal for sympathy? >> oh, yeah, absolutely. >> you're a hard guy. i want to ask a woman. do you agree with that, that this is a show? that the tears are for show? are crocodile tears? >> not usually. i think they seem to be genuine, at the time. >> do you think it's driven by tiredness? exhaustion? >> that could be a good part of it. >> what do you think? >> i think when you're tired, you're emotionally vulnerable. >> do you think it shows newt gingrich to be more of a mensch? >> i don't think i better respond. >> you don't want to go that fa

ed musky was the safe democratic candidate.le bit like mitt romney who was the safe republican candidate. but the party couldn't fall in love with musky and they learned to george mcgovern. >> and look what happened there. >> look what happened there. i think newt is a little bit in the role of george mcgovern, not to offend everybody involved. but the other one i've been thinking about is 1980 when you had a very serious argument among serious republicans. you had ronald reagan representing the very conservative position, although not as conservative as today's conservatives. you had george h.w. bush, the elder bush, a moderate conservatism. you had john anderson who later ran as a third-party candidate. that was a very serious argument about serious things among serious people. this race just doesn't look like that at all. >> speaking of not looking like that, can i play for you a clip of newt gingrich with donald trump? >> donald trump is a great showman. he's also a great businessman. we had a great conversation about it. i

on the ballot is what direction of the radio musky was it. yes i was an observer. to police and here's a question as you say if you talk about the opposition trust me it was not only just the opposition on the last night where you replying to what the opposition wants rebuts what do we know what would you apply to those and you offended as a people and gets people is a belief that these were elected the actions were not fair they do not believe in these elections and they will again i rally only twenty four something they had some appeals they were looking for justice to the mother could you please reply to these people not just to the opposition. ok first i already commented on that and i said that there were different people there. and i'm happy. that i saw some fresh faces even though with some. governmental that chills people with an active. opposition once again if this is a result of the putin regime i'm happy that we have this kind of people now but if the now as far as the pursuit for conflict resolution is concerned it is well known and it should be presen

think this is going to help him but it is also not going do hurt him the way, for example, senator muskie choking up in 19712 hurt him the beginning of the undoing of his campaign. people are voting, basicallies on the issues, the personalities of the candidate, and iowa is a very interesting case with 120,000 people. >> hillary clinton was saying they did not want to fall backward as a nation taking a shot at george bush. we have governor chris christie with romney in iowa. there will be a potential romney and christie ticket? >>guest: maybe a tryout for the ticket. they seem to be appearing a lot and christie is a very popular surrogate for romney. romney seems to enjoy campaigning with him and responds well when they are in each other's presence the look, it is entirely possible. christie is on, will be on romney's short list if romney is the republican nominee. i have to say romney's short list and i have made a list but right now it is about a dozen, so it is not that short. but christie would bring a lot to the ticket and i think heel be seriously considered for the position. >> tha

. >> but the lions catch the muskie scent of dinner.en. >> they're crouching. >> he's crouching. >> the big cats are perfectly camouflaged. >> and he's looking like he doesn't have a care in the world. >> that is a huge buffalo. >> the lead buffalo, also called a bull, is a male, one of the largest and strongest in the herd. he's strolling along when suddenly, his survival instinct kicks in. >> finally, the lead big buffalo understands that there's danger. he turns on a dime and starts running back. >> the herd catches on and starts a stampede. witnesses say the noise is deafening. >> i saw a lion come into view to the right, passed the other lions up. passed the lead, big buffalo. >> the hunt is on. in a battle for survival, the lions always go for the weakest. then the lioness, reaching speeds of up to 50 miles an hour, makes her move. >> jumped on the baby, dragged it into the water. >> she's going for it. she's going for him. she caught him! oh, she did. she got him. >> did you see that? >> oh, my gosh. >> unbelievable. >> and you c

he thoughts jackson or maybe humphrey or muskie, pretty much anyone over carter but he looked past as chairman of the dnc and he really saw it as his mission to keep his electric together. he didn't care who the nominee was and they didn't care what they stood for. there was criticism leveled at him throughout his career that he was not an ideologue but all he cared about was getting a democrat in the white house and he really did not care who it was. it turned out to be jimmy carter and they went on to be great friends. jimmy carter who i don't think is necessarily known for his sense of humor really loved bob, grew to love bob and i interviewed him. he said they grew as close as two brothers. and bob could make him laugh. bob would always insult him when he introduced him because that is how bob loved you. he would make fun of him for -- and there were a lot of ways the bob made front of jimmy carter. and then carter appointed him special trade representative. as t.r. at the time and currently that is the office of the united states trade representatives. they change the title and r

hubert humphrey chose ed muskie. how did that alliance come together?known him for quite a while. everyone wanted a southern candidate to pull the south. he said, i want somebody who will be a good president if something happens to me. assassinations were very fresh. the vice president was a heartbeat away. he wanted someone he liked and was stable. did not help him much politically. he was not thinking along those lines. i should say as well that he also spoke to nelson rockefeller about being his vice president. crossing party lines which would have been pretty remarkable. nelson rockefeller gave it 24 hours and said he could not do it. they were friends. rockefeller did not have any special liking for nixon. >> the next telephone call is from virginia. >> hello. i am enjoying the series. i was intrigued about the comment earlier that humphrey was the originator of the idea for the peace corps and a lot of other ideas for kennedy. i wonder if kennedy ever gave him credit for those ideas and what some of the other ideas of his work. >> i think pretty m

>> when ed musky cried, it was viewed as a sign of weakness.just hillary, but bill clinton short of legit myselfed showing your emotions. politicians are emotional and you can't talk about it without getting emotional. i don't think it will hurt him at all. whether it hurts him, probably not at this stage. hillary was a special case because women voters in new hampshire and a real backlash to them. i don't think you're going to see that here. >> danny, let's go ahead and bring you in here. what are your thoughts on this? do you think that this is going to do anything for gingrich? >>. >> well, we'll see if it has any impact. a lot of it has to do with how the emotional moments play into an existing narrative. if a candidate is seen as weak or unsteady, these emotional moments will have a bit to play in that existing narrative but in the case of gingrich, he's always been seen as someone stern and harsh and firm. so this might serve to humanize him a little bit, to show that he has a compassionate side. it will serve to at least show a side of h

carter came in second when he got the nomination. 1976, and committed one again -- won again and ed muskieond and the eventual nominee, george mcgovern, came in third -- back to your calls. who is the most conservative gop candidate in the race and is that important? caller: yes, i believe santorum is. but the conservative part is not important, but it is the person who is running. you've got a very different batch of candidates running. gingrich, i consider him like a hypocrite. you have ron paul, and this guy is very, very scary. i am 71, so i know what he was like when he first got started and he is a racist. he is more of a neo-nazi type guy. very scary if he got in. gingrich, he likes to throw stones -- i mean, when he helped to stop clinton he was running -- start clinton -- around his desk with his secretary. then you've got romney. he does not like unions and he is not for labor. ok? bachmann -- she is not really -- i mean, i am not as much afraid of her but the thing is she is really not that much of to date. -- up to date. sometimes she really does not know everything going on. h

we're not allowing a population of resistant muskie is to evolve. there is a lot of work being done on that. as long as we do not lose sight of it and i will highlight the idea that research is actually critical. >> their high-tech methods for mosquitoes, all very important, but there is a lot of low tech work it can be done. we're working with an organization and senate called -- in senate called -- senegal, making sure that they're not tires lying around that can collect water. >> dr. bate. >> thank you very much. a very in-depth discussion. according to who, insecticide treated nets distributed between 2007 and 2008 need to be replaced. what steps does your organization take to ensure that the nets will be replaced as needed? and in your opinion, what steps should the donor community take to ensure that the nets are replaced? and also, proceeding that question, there was always concerned about the treated nets and there was initial opposition in some countries. could you tell me how that has been overcome? i suppose that it has been, but you stil
