i was in that auditorium rooting for eddy mccormick.the reason why i was named after kennedy's grandfather who, of course, was the mayor of boston -- but my in this case was john mccormick -- one of his chief aids in washington for over 35 years. so i was campaigning for eddy mccormick and i came out of that debate because in that debate, in that hall everybody thought eddie won that election, of course, he didn't. when you walked out the door, you knew he didn't. when he went home, you knew he didn't. i didn't read the articles -- i've read every aicle on the mccormicks and the kennedys. i'm a political science major as well but i didn't because i've been out of the country but i have to get the book to read it because i know details that i think i know about. here's the question. i want to talk about the mccormick campaign in 1962. you know he ran the 66 against ken volpe and i was in the campaign with kennedy against romney and helped organized some of the union stuff. the question is, in '62, someone said what would have it taken to

[laughte bobby and jack did not want at 10 the two run and the advisers did not want them -- william to run it because he was vulnerable. >> to in the day meet with eddie mccormack to find his price to get out of the race? >> wed is typical with the intermediary. >> a 12 moven because to this part of it, it is teresting. cormick got smashed

. >> you know, ed mccormick was right in 1962. candidacy was a joke except for the fact ahis brother was president of the united states and it was very important and for the first 15, maybe 20 years, i think what he did in the senate was not something that will be his legacy. it is the things he did outside of the senate that people remember. but it was liberating to lose that nomination fight to jimmy carter, get that monkey off his back and the next few years particularly when he married vicki, i think the whole body of ted kennedy's work has to be judged and in judging the whole body i think i agree. >> e.j., ted kennedy put it in context, i don't know how many saw it at arlington national cemetery, cardinal mccarrick read the letter, parts of the letter that ted kennedy wrote to the pope earlier this summer and he talked about how he wasn't a perfect person. but he also seemed to use his catholic faith and say that his public career had -- was rooted in his faith an expression. >> we believe pro-foundly in the power of confess

after kennedy's grandfaer to as the of course we know was the mayor of boston but my uncle was john mccormick, one of his chief aides in washington for over five years. i was campaigning for eddie mccormack and they came out of that debate because in that debate, in that hall everydy thought, edi had won that election, because he did. when you walked out the door you knew he dn't. when you went home you knew he didn't. i didn't read the articles. i have read every article on the mccormacks and the kennedys. i am political science major as well. so i have to get the book and read it because there are a lot of dails that i don't think i know about. here's the question. want to talk about t mccormack campaign of 62. he brandon 62 and and i was with him then and of course i s inhe campaign with kenne agents roiney and help organize some of the union supper go the question is and 62, someone said what would it have tacen to get adi out of that campaign? i think i know what happened. i didn't read the book so i'm not sure, if someone could answer tt question for me, i will give you my take on it fo

we have an update this morning on our colleague cbs radio correspondent tammy mccormick who was seriously by a roadside bomb in afghanistan on friday. she is in stable condition after multiple surgeries and has now been transported to germany for further treatment. in california several wild fires are now burning with the largest threatening some 10,000 homes north of los angeles. overnight the flames continued to advance toward residential areas bordering a national park. already more than 20,000 acres have burned. three boaters missing for more than a week have been rescued. last night they were found sitting on top of their capsized catamaran 180 miles from land. celebrations the world over marked what would have been michael jackson's 51st birthday yesterday. perhaps the biggest was in mexico city where nearly 13,000 people there took part in a re-enactment of the late singer's thriller dance. out in the pacific hurricane jimena is is now a category 3 storm. it could continue to grow. forecasters believe it will remain off mexico's west coast though. which brings us to today's weather

maureen mccormick has been open about her abuse of drugs.ening while this show was in production. >> yeah. that was our first indication that there was anything going on with maureen. believe me, i would never have said anything about it had she not already come out with it in her book. >> robert reed had not revealed he was gay although he was dressing as carmen miranda on the show. >> i don't know if he got a thrill out of wearing dresses on the show, but what's sad about that is we all knew, but i don't think he knew we knew. there he is in a bunny suit. he refused to do a pie-throwing scene on the brady bunch because it was undignified. there he is. >> you talk about what an embarrassment the show was and people don't remember it, but it has been parodied many times. there were only nine episodes all together? >> yeah. >> what do you think it is about this show that lent itself to that? >> in this way it redeems itself sort of because it's bad enough to parody. it sets an example of the worst elements of the 70s. you take the glitter and

i believe that stands for the national association of consumer attorneys, held an opportunity at mccormicklace for those facing foreclosure to come in and try to work out new mortgage terms. i was at another meeting and they invited me to come home and i was stunned as i walked into this huge hall filled with literally thousands of people on a saturday morning. thousands of people facing mortgage foreclosure. on one side of the room sat a large group of about 1,000 people and they were from hispanic families. on the other side of the room another 1,000 people, by and large african-american, with others, asian, whites, and others, but primarily african-american. it is clear to me as you look at the nature of the foreclosure crisis, that many people in lower income categories, particularly those who have been the targets and predators in the past were preyed upon with these mortgages and now face foreclosure. they are also people who are most likely to lose their jobs. they are in marginal employment and a slowing economy is going to hurt them first. which goes to my point -- not enough's be

career was his debate in 1962 when he first ran and he was opposed by another democrat named edward mccormick. he said to kennedy, if your name was edward moore instead of edward moore kennedy your candidacy would be a joke. and he was a joke. and if this was edward moore he wouldn't have been elected but the point was he was a kennedy he was elected in massachusetts and then he served 47 years. host: the last significant we'll see in politics? guest: that's the big question right now. we'll find out probably in the next few days whether a kennedy will run for ted senator edward kennedy's seat. and if so, who would it be? it could be his widow, it could be his nephew who spoke at the memorial. but kennedy's final point, a number of kennedys have tried to run for office elsewhere or have been talked about and they haven't been very successful. host: will we still see us sticking to the 145 day election? guest: the governor talked about appointing someone in the interim and i know that the legislature is heavily democratic and perfectly willing to go along with that. and then they can have the
