al gore's selection was a success for him. many people still question why gore didn't run on the kennedy or the clinton record rather than to distance himself from it. he may have won, some think he did, but i think legit macy would have been a test to his candidacy. >> let's go to west field state, university, part of the washington center program here in washington, d.c. anna? >> regarding politics today, what do you think are the big differences between southern politics versus the north? or do you feel that the issues are pretty universal throughout the country? >> i think you're absolutely right, the issues are universal throughout the country. everybody wants a better job. everybody wants better education, first. better opportunities for education. better opportunities for employment. clean air. opportunities for advancement and moving forward, security. so you have degrees of differences that take place. one of the things that i've always thought, particularly in terms of running for office here, even though you have di

they had initial data, called it for bush, gore. and dan rather said there, in the last part of the clip, it's too close. and it wasn't until december that they finally, at least, the supreme court said, all right, enough of this, bush won. so, it was a complex issue. and now, of course, lessons have been learned and you'll watch polling organizations, media organizations, are much less likely to call things early. >> especially before the polls close, because keep in mind the first call was at 7:50, the7:50. the polls were still open in the panhandle area. >> they were very careful about that and nationally, they won't start calling the election next november until california and hawaii, because carter complained i believe back in 1980 that they were saying reagan won and people were still voting out in california. that 2000 is a fascinating and complex case. basically the networks were too eager to declare a winner for competitive reasons. lot of networks like to be the first and they've learned their lesson. as the exit polls com

gore. they know what can happen. the president was asked, do you think this is constitutional? what's he going to say? i think my law is unconstitutional? of course he said it was constitutional. and it's a pretty split decision on the conservative side you have people like lawrence silverman, a very conservative federal court -- a federal judge here in washington. you have charles freed who used to be solicitor general for the republicans. all conservatives saying that this law is constitutional and you have other conservatives who say it isn't. so it seems to be a close call. and if it's a close call, shouldn't judicial restraint, what we keep hearing from conservatives for decades, be the -- be what breaks the tie? >> well, it's a big play by the supreme court. no doubt it's going to affect millions of americans. the common good, i keep going back to that in the constitution, the talk of the written word of the common good, it's going to hurt a lot of people if they reverse this. i hope the president keeps talking about it as often as he possibly can. david corn, thank you.

and al gore is he understands better than anything else the need to build up the megaphone. that takes time. fox were willing almost half a billion dollars over a 10-year period to build up that infrastructure. we weren't willing to let air america lose, i think, $10 million, $20 million. we walked away from it. we have got to build up our own megaphone first of all. current tv, i think, is going to be central to that. >> rebuilding the dream. rebuilding the dream is also doing that. from the grasses -- grass roots. >> the mistake we made, governor, when we got to washington, d.c., we thought having the white house, the senate and the house was enough to govern. it is not. you have to have media and movement. they had the tea party and they had fox and they checkmated us. the next step moving forward, let's own this message. in my book i talk about owning a deeper patriotism and challenging cheaper patriotism as a rhetorical strategy. we have to help the people in the middle of the country and the middle of the spectrum understand the true defenders of america's values are o

gore presented himself. this, in particular, got a lot of people's attention and rubbed them the wrong way. a lot of people watched that particularly women and found it something that was a use of space. that they didn't find palatable. but again, this is something that people watch on the stage, especially in these formats where there is the ability to move around. and, again, you're going to take away messages that may be quite subconscious or at least subtle about your impression of these candidates based on the way they move and the way they confront each other and the moderator. and in that case the town meeting participants. >> as you look at that debate moment from 2000, what are your thoughts? >> well, that shows that it's not just what you say, but your whole persona. the sense you give of yourself as a person accounts in the debates and that sort of menacing walk-over reminded me of the very different problem that the first president bush had happening to look at his watch while someone else was sp

al gore and others sold this notion of temperatures sky rock qeting on a graph, and that embrave only shows a degree celsius. if you look at this in kelvins, the first temperature looks like this. al gore can't write a cherry picker off that and that is a problem. >> bill likes kevins too, but they are basketball players he met on-line. harelds, unique speaker. you are a musician and have been in bands. you are a rowing freak. you have more hobbies than a book on hobbies. >> which instrument do you lay? -- which instrument do you play? >> don't sell your coat. it is available and doing well. time to take a break. when we come back we will talk about keith olberman. why not? >>> on friday keith olberman was fired a year into his five-year $50 million contract and replaced by hooker booker elliott spitser. among them his flakey work ethic and flakey hair. leeann, sad? happy? indifferent? answer the question. >> i am kind of indifferent. i think he is a jerk and he showed himself. if you can get fired by al gore and a leftist organization that you are the face of them, you have to be a r

al gore was keeping him at a distance but the big guy couldn't resist spouting off. clinton gave his best bush impression. how bad can it be. i'm a governor my daddy was president and i own a basketball team. gore was right to -- >> if he decides he can't help himself and starts campaigning against me, the shadow returns. [laughter] chris: the shadow. and we learn that when bush visited the white house after the recount in 2000, he asked clinton if that shadow comment offended him and clinton came close to the old man and entire bush family. the bushes now consider clinton, quote, a brother of another mother. and listen to this. >> it got so ridiculous, our odd couple partnership that barbara began to refer to me as her black sheep son, you know the one -- [laughter] >> there is one in every family. gets the politics wrong or makes some other mistake. chris: you got all this in the book? great stuff. how ike secretly held reagan against richard nixon and some of nixon's stories. chris: welcome back. and mike duffy's book about the most secret club about the most powe
