-- the son of then mayor of chicago richard daley, who was open's chief of staff -- obama's tax said the next day, there was a 70% chance his dad was going to endorse bobby kennedy. there was no more powerful establishment politician in ofrica then than mayor chicago richard daley. we had guys in philadelphia who were ready to go all out for bobby kennedy. i think bobby kennedy would not just have become the democratic nominee, but there was nobody in richardwho understood nixon's bowler abilities better than the guy who eight years brother's let his successful campaign against richard nixon -- nobody in america who understood richard nixon's vulnerabilities better. from day one, he was a guy who was too passionate and too impatient to wait to try to get things done, and from day one, he would have made a difference. was going toen: i if you did not mention that at some point, say one of the or seei did not know anyone else write about was the daley might have endorsed him. with his son bill saying it -- i can already tell you that the night before robert kennedy was killed, i w

>> the first question deals with would richard daley have done? he was the powerhouse mayor of chicago who ran it. and was very much of a party guy and also very close with president trump. he was not pleased that the anti- party people as he perceived the word challenging the establishment of the incumbent president. he ran chicago on the party system understood the party organization and lived by and expected other party people to do the same. bobby kennedy was not there in chicago mccarthy wise. there is a story in the book that really happened. mccarthy said people brought their signs to the convention hall and had them stored in the lockers but through some accident the national guard made all of the signs unusual one -- unusable. there was a story i did not know until i research the book and really had not been written about very much. once johnson dropped out his poll numbers shot up 50% in one day unprecedented nobody had this type of crime. and that was sacrificing into soonest johnson saw that why do i need to get out of the race? lyndon

and david had spread sheets that included every election for, since the time of richard daley in 1955. so we knew every precinct in the city, we knew how those precincts voted, how they tended to vote in various elections. and so we essentially put together a target list of precincts. from the '77 run that monroe mentioned that he lost, we knew where we, harold got support particularly in the black middle class wards, the 6th ward, the 8th ward, the 21st ward, etc. we got very few votes out of the west side. but we also knew where the democratic vote was on the west side. we looked at the white community, particularly the north lakefront, and knew where they could potentially get folks there are. so we had targeted, we targeted every single precinct in the city in in the terms of which were our first-tier targets, second tier, third tier and the ones we just didn't waste any resources on at all. >> yeah. and the way, the way harold ended up getting the lakefront liberal votes, because they weren't sure as jackie just indicated, was harrell and walter mondale -- harold and walter monda

and richard was much of a party guy, richard was also very close with president johnson. daley was not pleased that the antiparty people as he perceived them were challenging the establishment, the establishment of the incumbent president. he understood party organization, he came up rank and expected other party people to do the same, bobby kennedy wasn't there in chicago, eugene mccarthy was there in chicago and all of the mccarthy people brought their signs to convention hall and they had them all stored in these lockers through some accident the national guard tear-gassed all of the mccarthy signs and made them unusual. there's also a story in the book, the story i didn't know until i i researched the book and there hasn't been really written about very much. once lyndon johnson dropped out of the race, his poll numbers jumped up in one way and johnson was viewed as wonderful leader sacrificing for peace and he was going to get peace and as soon asonson saw that he started thinking, well, gee, why do i need to get out of the race? lyndon johnson in the months leading up to
