eleanor?erson's common sense is another person's lunacy, and a lot of the things ben carson has s said will not play very well outside of a very narrow band of the republican base. and they do put up specifics. but then they kind of just brush over those as though only you washington insiders care about those things. once we get in there, we'll do fine. ben carson says he'll get experts when he needed a kidney specialist, when he had a problem with a patient with kidney problem, he'd bring in a kidney specialist. he suggests he could just bring in lots of people to handle all those minor details. and that's a leadership style that i think again has a lot of surface appeal to people who are paying casual attention to a political system that they've grown to loathe. >> paul, i heard you agreeing with eleanor. i'm going to move on to another topic. i want to get to the benghazi hearing and hear how trey gowdy responded to criticism that he focused too much on sydney blumenthal. >> even some repub

that was really very new, because even eleanor roosevelt campaigned for other candidates, but i don't think she campaigned for her husband until he ran for that third term in 1940, because it wasn't considered -- i don't know -- roberts: lady-like. caroli: -- lady-like to be open about your support for your husband. you were behind the scenes, maybe organizing women to put up posters or sending out letters. you were thanking people. what did lady bird johnson say, that the candidate's job -- the wife of a candidate, her job is to walk behind him and say, "thank you, thank you, thank you." so it was pretty behind the scenes until, i think, the 1960's. roberts: but jackie kennedy did do some ads in spanish, for instance, to try to get -- something we talk about all the time now, to try to get the hispanic vote. swain: next is a question from owen in marietta, georgia. hi, owen. owen: hi. swain: hi. what's your question for us? owen: my question is -- i have two. first is, what were lady bird johnson's hobbies? and two is, what was her relationship with her kids? swain: okay, owen, so ho
