the story of john and elizabeth edwards is the most dramatic and the book, where the gap between whathe public saw and wanted to see and how they were in private was cats make -- was chasmic. the gap between barack obama's public image and private reality was of all the candidates than ever was. the spent very little time in the above -- a campaign was a -- all the candidates the narrowest. they spent very little time in the campaign trying to manage him. the obama campaign was able to focus to a large extent on getting done what needed to get done. there was not as large a gap between the two. it as i talked before about race example, there were times where the public image was not going on behind the scenes, but an important part of why he was successful and the can and was the fact that the gap was narrower. guest: we don't have a very much about barack obama that is less flattering. i would urge people to read the book, and there are a number of scenes worked there was crisis, questions about whether the strategy was working. in one prominent instance, you see barack obama saying

there's a wide divergence between public image and reality but the story of john edwards and elizabeth edwards is a dramatic example in the book where the gap between what the public saw and what they wanted the public to see and how they were in private is a cosmic kind of gap. obama's the gap between the public image and private reality is of all the major candidates was the most narrow and i think it is part of the reason why he turned out to be a strong candidate and part of the reason why he won because they spent very little time in the obama campaign having to manage the problem of here's what we are trying to tell the public but here's what is going on. that was for all the other campaigns there was enormous amount of time and effort that was devoted by the staff to try to bridge the gap and massage the differences. the obama campaign was able to focus to a larger extent getting done what it needed to get done because there wasn't that large a gap. now with that said we show as i talked before about the race example we show plenty of the examples where the obama public image was and wh

where i feel very sorry, particularly for elizabeth edwards, she's trying to find this asuaging politicaly. i see a sinister progression. he began as a guy that was a bit of a phony with good intentions. he did love his children and his family. but as the adulation continues and the money stuff continues and the constant ability to have the sound bite veneration in a sense, he lost his moral center and took her down with him too. elizabeth became a colluder in this, allowing her own cancer to be used as a pr stunt. >> halperin and heilmann wrote about that, he fell in love with himself and didn't need to listen to anybody else. >> gillibrand and harold ford jr., they are fighting for the big money in new york. who is winning the battle? >> i'm a big fan of gillibrand's. i'm a fan of harold's too. i think she's getting a bad wrap. what keeps being said about her is she only raises money because chuck schumer helps her. she's an amazing fund-raiser and incredibly smart. oh, no. all about chuck schumer. she also gets the kind of jilted caroline kennedy social snob. when are we going to stop
