i interviewed bob dole and bob dole was funny. i put this quote in the boat, tell me how you prepare for your speeches, he goes i give a month and that is how i prepare. that is why i am not any good but in contrast elizabeth, i can hear a voice coming of the kitchen and that is elizabeth practicing her speech for tomorrow. she might have given the speech 28 times that she will practice it one more time to make sure it is good. i have seen her speech in public and she is eloquent and engaging and excellent. i have been teaching public speaking over 20 years. has all the qualities of a good speaker. as a presidential candidate her perfectionism as a speaker was cast in the negative. the press would write that her assistants count how many steps there are to the podium but that is a good thing to know if you have to walk the steps but yet she was seen as overly prepared, perfectionist thick. male candidates describe this discipline. that is a big drawback that as of boldfaced. it wasn't her fault. most appreciate speakers to be prep

i interviewed abdul and bob dole is a little funny. i said, tommy senator dole has you prepare for her speeches. he does i get them once and that's how i prepare. that's why not any good. he goes, but in contrast, elizabeth i can hear her voice coming out of the kitchen and that's elizabeth practicing her speech for tomorrow. she might've given a speech 28 times, but she's got practice on our time to make sure she's good. i've seen her speak in public and she's elegant and engaging in excellent. i've been teaching public speaking over 20 years. she is all the qualities of a good speaker. as a presidential candidate, her perfectionism would cast a negative of the price was right that her assistants count how many steps there are to the podium. well, that's a good thing to know if you have to walk the steps. but yet, she was seen as overly prepared, perfectionistic. no candidates in contrast to be described as disciplined and on message. so i think that is a big drawback that i think elizabeth dole faced and it wasn't her fault. she was d

republican incumbent congressman bob dole and democratic challenger brad schneider. line with the tea party dole is a self-proclaimed moderate and says it is simply not true basically said it is laughable and is blatantly trying to mislead my record and mislead voters about my record he points to dole's congressional record. these are real issues that affect people every day. they appreciate what i am doing reaching across the aisle and being ranked as one of the most independent bipartisan voters of the united states congress a fiscal conservative, a social moderate and strong on national security. he says his mission is still more in line with the newly drawn 10th district. i knew it was going to be a high- profile race i knew it was going to be a race where it was going to be very close and during the debate last week bob dole said that he would break with fellow republicans in the vote for increased revenue as part of a plan with spending cuts to reduce the deficit. late word that the tunnels which feed into new york are now filling with water the subway system i

i'm talking about bob dole.ween bob dole and mitt romney running against an incumbent president. back in '96 soft money was the big concern about influence being molded by big bucks in the campaign. now in the era of citizens united that, seems kind of quaint. it reminds me a lot of bob dole. seeing governor romney tack so far to the right against gingrich and santorum to get the nomination, to steam roll them and when eric fehrnstrom made the etch-a-sketch comment on cnn, he was widely mocked. that's why we saw mitt romney stay to the right longer than expected because he didn't want to be seen as an etch-a-sketch. but now that we're out of the convention time, mitt's pretty much doing anything he can to appeal to as many voters as possible. does he run the risk of alienating the base even more? >> i think he does. and i think one of the things that we've seen is people haven't gotten excited about him. still. you know. and i think where that causes a problem for him is not so much that republicans aren't going

with bob dole.you know, this goes back to late '60s, early '70s, a film that they saw called "hunger in america." that, quite frankly, embarrassed a lot of people and opened a lot of people's eyes to some of the issues that were going on. and very quickly, they reached across the aisle and got together and created the modern food safety net. again, i don't think this is partisan at all. we fixed hunger. back in the -- in the early '70s. almost nonexistence. you know, we could do it again. this isn't the issue like global warming that is -- is so difficult to figure out. a lot of people know how to fix this. we need to pay attention to. we can definitely fix hunger in this country. >> yeah. as a parent, as a doctor, it makes a lot of sense. and i appreciate you sharing some of this with us. we're certainly going to send people to the web site, as well, tom. thank you very much. >> thanks a lot. i appreciate. it good talking to you. >>> 22-year-old college center paul headings has spent the last five

but he helped to found the food stamps, or at least expand it, at least, with the help of bob dole. >> exactly, with bob dole, this goes back to the late '60s and '70s, a film that they actually saw, hunger, that quite frankly embarrassed a lot of people and opened their eyes through some of the issues that were going on. and very quickly, they reached across the aisle and got together the modern food safety net. so again, i don't think this is partisan at all. we fixed hunger back in the early '70s, it almost didn't exist, we could do it again. this is not an issue like global warming that is so difficult to figure out. a lot of people know how to fix this, we need to pay attention to it. we can definitely fix hunger in this country. >> i can't tell you enough, as a doctor and parent, it affects us all. >> thank you, i appreciate it, good talking to you. >> a 22-year-old college senior, paul headings, has spent years trying to put his life back together. at 17, he dreamed to be a baseball player. instead, he had a difficult medical condition about to change his life forever. but he r

bob dole against bill clinton. we will see some of that and try to figure out what was going on there. clinton holds his lead. that is all he has to do. 2000 -- that one was not close, was it? we will see a piece of the third debate and talk about that, and you can decide whether that made any difference or not. just a little thing can make a difference when you're talking about 256 votes in florida. 2004 -- debate, kerry looks like he is ahead, but i was in florida and ohio when they played the commercial, and you did not know what to believe. very, very effective. i would argue in 2004, commercials really mattered. 2008, we will see president obama debate john mccain, and john mccain very seldom looked at barack obama. that was the story the next day. they were talking about that, just like barack obama was not looking at key times to mitt romney. i need ben up here. we are going to dress him up a little bit. can i have that gray jacket? september 26, 1960. one candidate comes out with a great coach -- a gray coa

now that didn't happen, but his legacy, he joined with bob dole on food issues and bob dole wrote a really beautiful tribute to mcgovern. these two men really got along and mcgovern was never bitter about the defeat that he suffered, much of it because of the dirty tricks on the part of richard nixon. and he had every right to say i told you so but he never did. >> wait a minute, he worked for richard nixon and so did i. >> right and you worked it make sure mcgovern didn't get a fair shake. >> i didn't do anything like that. i know some people. >> some other people might have. >> john the dirty tricks frankly the things were done to knock off all the competitors to senator mcgovern. >> senator, you take a look at some of his rhetoric back in '72, i'll crawl on my knees, turned off an enormous number in the country. but he was basically a good man. he was a bomber pilot in world war ii. he hated war and i do think his leadership was something like gold water's. he was the representative of a movement culturally and socially that has come to dominate american culture now, even though its tim

only 13% blamed president clinton, 5% blame the bob dole. the role that the commission played along the candidates to engage in anti-democratic manipulations behind closed doors without having to pay a political process. if bob dole and bill clinton can look at the camera and say we are going to keep out a candidate that you want to see, they would have never had the courage to do so. it would have been forced to allow ross perot on the stage. >> what about this, that gary johnson made, the former governor of new mexico, running on the libertarian line, this catch-22 about how you increase your standing in the polls if you are not in the debates? >> an investigation by the federal election commission looked at adopting a numerical figure to decide whether it third-party candidate could participate. they have announced if any candidate gets 15% of the polls, they will invite them. 15%? that is crazy. there has not been a third-party candidate in the last 100 years that has come close to 15% prior to any presidential debate. congress gives can

you can almost see interface the regrets that she and bob dole have never had a child. she said we've never had children. i really can't answer that. it was really an abstract question. the next day the media said she's not ready for the campaign trail because she's not talking like a candidate. she's talking in this personal way. and all of a sudden in three weeks it just kind of folded. i think michael dukakis problem in terms of presidential debates when he was asked about what he would do if his wife is and he gave a lawyerly kind of answer, a defense of his opposition to capital punishment. on the sudden, does this guy have a human tide at all? so it's those things that we kind of see in the capabilities or the character of the individual. i think al gore was irked over the years, not because of one event, but because of his being pointed out as a serial exaggerator. any one of those stories coming you could explain away he'd never invented the internet. he said he helped create the internet. we have the perception of him being a laboratory, sitting on the computer

did bob dole really beat incumbent bill clinton in their first debate? actually, no. this is the exception. bill clinton won that first debate. here's what the headlines looked like the next day. president proves unflappable facing dole barbs. so the fifth time that we did this as a country, new result. the incumbent president did clearly defeat his challenger in their first debate. first time that ever happened in the country. that moves the tally for incumbent presidents trying to win first debates against their challenger to 1-4. so next one, 2004. george w. bush is the incumbent president. his challenger is this guy, massachusetts senator john kerry. remember at the democratic convention this year when john kerry gave the bang-up speech about mitt romney learning everything he knew about russia by watching rocky 4, and his overseas trip actually being a blooper reel and all that stuff? this this great barn burner of a very funny speech by john kerry. everybody said, afterwards, where was that john kerry when he was the guy running for president in 2004? well, that

. >> in terms of the soothing, dana, bob dole was very soothing to mr. romney or he wrote over this weekend an op ed piece that i'm sure was intended to be soothing. i certainly wouldn't have liked it if i was the nominee. but his intent, i'm sure, was to be soothing because he wrote no one aspires to be defeated -- a defeated presidential candidate. but then he went on further and he argued that there is light at the end of the tunnel for dole that was an improbable career, pitching visa, duncan donuts and viagra. and he goes on to say, the greatest of life blessings cannot be counted in electoral votes. so he's telling mr. romney, i assume, don't worry about it. you can do what i did and i guess that's soothing. >> it's soothing in a many of speaking but there's a crucial different here and that is that bob dole in 1996 fought the good fight. but, look, the economy by then was booming. nobody really gave him a chance of winning. what is happening here is you have romney losing a race that everybody thought he was perfectly capable of winning. so if tha

always been saying you think back to weld/kerry the '96 senate race, as a model, weld outperformed bob dole points that year. it wasn't quite enough because dole lost the state by 33. i've been saying the measurement in massachusetts if romney loses by 30 or more, warren is your next senator, 25 to 30 a toss up, less than 25, brown's going to win. and that's -- a week ago in the 25 to 30 range, now it's back down. >> that's almost a nate sill veer yan set of data points. luke, the other race -- there are many races an we're not going to get to all of them in this segment but todd akin when you talk about republicans going to and fro in their support fiscally and ideological todd akin is still giving claire mcka cas kill a run for her money. her camp says she's up nine points, the akin camp claims he's up two, dueling polls, but needless to say todd akin is still in this thing. you mentioned the republicans are not going to -- needless to say todd akin is still in this thing. you mentioned the republicans are not going to be piping money into this race, perhaps might have had romney not done

the second debate between clinton and bob dole in 1996 with 36.3 million viewers.omney went head-to-head explaining their tax plans, there was one name that came up in both of their answers. >> governor romney says the top 3% are the job creators burdened. under gov romney's definitions, there are a bunch of millionaires and bill nars. donald trump is a small business, i know he doesn't like to think he's small anything but that's how you define small business. >> the reality is, it's not just donald trump you are taxing. it's all the businesses that employ one quarter of workers in america, the small businesses taxed as individuals. >> you are surprised to know mr. trump reacted on twitter. he said as a big job creator, i was greatly honored to have been mentioned twice during the debate. donald trump. >>> let's turn to another political debate. jon stewart v. bill o riley. he called in stephven colbert. he was brought in by two shirtless handlers to get him ready for the showdown. >> jon, you are in worse shape than i thought. i have to take it to another level.

he launched a program with former republican presidential nominee bob dole in 2002 to provide education and food to poor children, in the u.s. and around the world. >> there is one problem that i am convinced we can lick, absolutely, and that's world hunger. >> reporter: mcgovern was awarded the presidential medal of freedom in 2000, and the world food prize in 2008. he stayed active until the end, backing then senator obama in the 2008 election. >> so let's seize that opportunity and vote to barack obama for a more hopeful world. >> and skydiving in 2010, celebrating his 88th birthday. >> how do you feel. >> i feel great. >> reporter: a prolific author, mcgovern wrote eight books including most recently what it means to be a democrat. almost no one knew better. bob orr, cbs news, washington. >> jeff: next america's 11 years in afghanistan. a report by david martin. >> jeff: after weeks of rumors that he was on death's door former cuban president fidel castro appeared in a photograph that was shown to journalists in havana today by a visiting venezuelan politician. he said castro, quote

here's how bill clinton pulled it off with a gentle dismissal of bob dole in their town hall-style debate back in 1996. >> i think wisdom comes from age, experience and intelligence. and if you have some of each -- and i have some of each age, some experience, some intelligence. >> i can tell you that i don't think he's too old to be president. it's the age of his ideas that i question. >> that's letting him down easy, isn't it? the question, is his challenger is right there with him some terms of the polling. he has to be perhaps a little more forceful, how does he put it together? >> he's got to find that place. they've been struggling in terms of trying to find -- they made it through the crucial decision back in the spring, which was to paint romney not as a flip-flopper, but to paints him as a right-wing extremist. and that worked for them from the spring through the summer all the way through september. romney helped them. he gave them a lot of ammunition, said a lot of silly things and now he's done the etch-a-sketch moment in that debate. that's what happened there, apart from eve

bush, john mccain, bob dole, they were not debaters. the republicans finally have someone on the state that could take it to a democratic challenger. >> colby? >> the prospect of hanging focuses the mind. did run the credit for this. he is a fighter. he came out of south carolina behind. he pulled together, took on new to gingrich, and in the same thing to him as a bid to obama. he was well prepared. he was confident. he showed that he could go toe to toe with the president, looking in the eye, and not be condescending or patronizing. in town with obama the whether obama should have dealt with him. it was one of the mono and obama fell short. >> the result is historical unique. in the 50 years of presidential debates, and nothing there has ever been a debate where there was such a decisive win in an absence of a gaff. if you have something like four with eastern europe, or others along the way, it is decisive. it is usually a muddled outcome, or just one bad moment, like i knew jack kennedy. there was not a sound bite in this. one other

bob dole said he expects joe biden to come out swinging and not to let up. and in this race -- a race this close, this might even make a difference, not a whole lot but enough to measure. larry? >> john harwood, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >>> mitt romney's taken his post-debate momentum straight on to team obama turf. this is interesting. obama's lost his hold on florida, virginia and ohio. those number have now gone to romney. romney has now gone behind enemy lines to challenge in michigan and pennsylvania. that's also new. all this comes as the romney rally continues in the latest polls. rasmussen has romney up by one. investors business daily has romney leading obama by five, 49-44. there's the daily tracking poll. with tomorrow night's debate, won't the inevitable paul ryan victory just send team obama over the edge into the looney bin? well, that's kind of the way i see it. but there may be some disagreement. we have karen finney, columnest for "the hill." and kate obenshane. ms. finney, this is the way i look t it. romney is smarter than bi

bush, john mccain, and bob dole, they could not debate. republicans finally have someone on stage that could take it to the democrats. >> focusing the mind. >> it is the prospect of hanging that focuses the mind. >> either way, you are dead. >> give romney credit for this. he is a fighter. he came out and was behind in south carolina. he pulled together in florida. he took on newt gingrich. he did the same thing to him what he did to obama. he was well prepared. he was confident. he showed that he could go toe to toe with the president, looking in the eye, and not be condescending or patronizing. he dealt with obama the way that obama should i dealt with him. >> in the 50 years of presidential debates, i do not think there has been a debate in which there was such a decisive win in the absence of a gaffe. if you have one like the one with ford in eastern europe, others along the way, it is decisive. it is usually a muddled outcome, or one of the bad moments, like, i knew jack kennedy, you're no jack kennedy. but there was no sound bite in

food for peace and he went on to become a hero in the effort to feed the world, often working with bob dolefrom farm states but pulled apart politically, working on the same cause. >> don't send them into needless war. >> he railed against the iraq war and called for the impeachment of both bush and cheney. his daughter terry and son steve both dies of alcohol ifl. mcgovern lost his wife years ago and his own health started to fail soon afterwards. it took him 50 years to talk about what he did in the war long ago, his political scars, he took to his grave, he once said hel couldn't be any worse than the skies he piloted through in europe. >> we do love this country and we will continue to beckon it to a higher standard. >> brian williams on the life of george mcgovern, that's our broadcast from tampa, good night, everyone. ike leggett: gaming generated one hundred and eighty... million dollars for maryland schools. question seven will double it. rushern baker: question seven will add table games and... a new casino, generating millions of dollars... every year, without raising taxes. legge

and they gave $150,000 illegally to bob dole. he got caught, he had to give it back. then they gave $100,000 to create the democratic leadership council, which is the vehicle that this guy from arkansas rode right into the white house. > > very quickly, why aren't media reporters like you digging these facts up? > > i think they don't have my hat, and even more important is that they don't have the producers that do the old style investigative reporting. i work for bbc. i'm on the top of the nightly news there, the front page of the big paper the guardian. people really don't want to know in america that their elections have been bought up. the subtitle of "billionaires & ballot bandits" is "how to steal an election in 9 easy steps," and, frankly, they don't want to hear that one of the things these guys buy is making sure your ballot doesn't get counted. > > greg palast, thank you so much. > > you're very welcome. thank you bill. you can find more of that fascinating interview on our website at firstbusinessnews.com. still ahead, a popular small business pro will be

of the oval office, a long interview for the book, he said if newt gingrich had been speaker and bob dole senate majority leader, i would have been able to work out a deal on the deficit and the debt. >> schieffer: true? >> i think it would depend a lot on obama. the big difference was we closed the government twice. we had a running fight with clinton. he reached a conclusion that he as well as we had to find a common ground. and as a result, it was a much harder, complex struggle than that. buttening whoever is elected-- but i think whoever is elected president better start literally the next day call the other party, and not just theleadersht partisan part, but every member of the other party and saying, "okay, we have four years of living together. what are we going to do for america together?" >> and that means compromise. >> there's the magic word. >> and this is the joe biden approach on behalf of obama when they have actually worked out some deals with congress, biden goes to the republicans and says, "okay, let's do it the old way. one for you, one for me; not just drawing the li

everything bob dole's mind call most of his life and says his son now does the same it's people like them the republican congressman say they're fighting for with a bill they've named the stop the war on coal act of two thousand and twelve those who believe that there is no war on coal or in dangerous denial the accusor this administration against coal have caused massive uncertainty in the market place inside the bill massive restrictions on environmental regulations were supporters say cost the coal industry millions and prevent it from expanding this bill takes a number of simple common sense and long overdue step to rein in the obama administration out of control e.p.a. which is waging all out war on american energy and coal is at the heart of that war opponents call it the polluters bill of rights and say it makes the air less safe to breathe blocks efforts to safely dispose of coal ash and severely weakens the clean water. some lawmakers say it's hypocritical to talk about the immorality of passing along debt to future generations and then to support this bills like this one ar

. >> john: i had a soft spot in my heart ever since cnn inturned her on the bob dole campaign.ted the obama and romney campaigns earlier this week. he is said i at no, ma'am a fly on the wall. i'm going to react organically to what is happening. and later she told cnn, once the tone is get by a questioner there is time for me to say wait a second what about x, and z? both sides expressed concerns about how the moderator has described her role. if candy crowley makes it about herself, there are no repercussions for cnn. >> jennifer: no. and she should do what she wants. my guess is the people are not going to be involved in the little tiny stories we follow all the time for example, the "washington post" today gave four pinocchio's to mitt romney's jobs plan. and i'm sure the president or candy crowley will say mr. romney what about the fact that your 12 million job claim has been ruled to be a complete lie? >> eliot: it is only the follow up question that actually pierces the talking point. until you can be confronted it is like cross examination. you have to force either candi

it led to his lifelong friendships with statesman bob dole, with whom he formed a deep friendship, anda conservative commentator, with -- william buckley -- with whom he delighted in debating the issues of the 1990's, whether they were in public, nationally televised, or over a drink. as they travel together debating their opposing views on college campuses. in one of our last conversations, we talked about today's leaders who forgot to often the importance of respect, corporation, and compromise for the survival of democracy. with all of these accomplishments, perhaps his greatest is his marriage. i will never forget the opening of the library, which eleanor was too sick to attend. he touched a statue of her with him as they sit together throughout their lives. we can rejoice today thatthey are now reunited and with two other children, they lived a life that a great methodist leader admonished him, when he said, do all the good you can. by all means you can. and all the ways you can. in all the places you can. at all the times you can. to all the people you can, as long as ever you ca

mentioned it, children today in the world living and have better lives because of what george and bob dole did together. [applause] >> on the surface, george mcgovern and i should be part senator dole said. he is a liberal democrat i am a republican of the conservative stripe. he ran for president when i was chairman of the party. i suspect our voting records are diametrically opposed. yet in the most important ways, he said, i regard george as a close friend and kindred spirit. he is a decent man who puts principal above expediency. another man who served with him in the 60s and with a close friend, simply said george mcgovern is the most decent man in the united states senate. [applause] that was robert kennedy who spoke two months before he was killed. it is well known among his friends that george loved to drive. last night mathew spoke so powerfully and eloquently about his experiences with his grandfather including a drive to mitchell. jim told me this great story about traveling from florida to south dakota through wisconsin last summer with goerge over nine days. i had my own exper

walter mondale and senator bob dole from october 15, 1976.
