how did richard nixon after watergate beat george mcgovern? would it made any difference if he had not given that speech at 3:00 in the morning? >> probably. i think we are hyper managing campaigns in the context of what really happens when voters go into the polls. i am sure that a lot of americans who voted for ross perot thought, he has dropped out? what is going on? he was a third-party candidate. i still think that george mcgovern -- the party is not over. he can draw presumably on this pool of democrats. where did they go? >> we tend to minimize nixon's >> we tend to minimize nixon's achievement in forging a new political consensus. by 1972, for a whole host of reasons, including a counter reaction, the silent majority was real. whatever you think about it. nixon very skillfully played to their fears and the emotions of american exceptional is of and the american government -- he was a war hero yet he was always portrayed as -- >> there was another war going on. mcgovern was asked to be on " meet the press" or one of these shows and he's

and there's a lot of people who will say that, you know, perry makes george bush look like george mcgovernoving his conservative bona fideus is not going to be an issue. >> apparently he will have to prove them to michele bachmann, who is violated to our delight that you don't fire at other republicans, you just go after the democrats. i learned something that i did not know in bachmann's ad there about rick perry doubling spending in 10 years and also that he is running a deficit now. i haven't been reading, you know, the texas press every day, so i'm not that up on it. and this is exactly what reagan feared, is that information like that and attacks like that will actually inform the democrats about how to attack republicans. >> well, listen, i think you have mentioned ray sullivan's response, and i read it. and i think it was a pretty credible response. of course there's more spending now than there was. they have a better economy. they have a lot more jobs. texas has created more jobs in the private sector in the last 10 years than the entire country combined. that's a fact. and at a t
