tom friedman wrote once that nations that have mcdonald's never go to war with one another. it turned out we bombed belgrade and belgrade had mcdonald's so that theory went out but the notion that democracies don't go to war, no one can imagine france and germany going to war with one another. the feeling that democracy being responsive to the people will not go to war is a strong one. i don't know if that is true. hamilton would have said war is not caused by monarchs. war is inherent in human nature. people are selfish, they are aggressive and that is what brings on war and we cannot live with this green, this pipe dream that people love one another. if only monarchs get out of the way. that was jefferson's vision. hamilton and washington have a more pessimistic or realistic view of human nature. jefferson had a magnanimous view. you could locate them on a spectrum. thomas paine and jefferson at one end and hamilton and washington at the other. thomas paine -- jefferson's view of minimum government did not come from a celebration of capitalism. he was not trying to create

just to give one example, the mcdonald campaign in virginia for governor, which was successful, he was republican, and he set up an account, which is something that's relatively new, and he use it had to drive all his social networking activities. that's in contrast with the obama campaign, which actually tried to make its own social networking website. there wasn't something for them to customize. so as you see these larger campaigns try on you night tools, the ones that work are going to be followed by smaller campaigns, and that goes all the way down to county, the county level t. doesn't need to be a presidential campaign. >> if you are ad vigse a campaign going into 2010 here, how much of your resources, time, money, staff do you put into new media? >> that's as much a tur argument, because so many campaigns feel like they bare have the enough money to get by in the first place. we talk about the amount of money that's raised on campaigns ark lot is spent immediately. a lot of it is spent on grass roots activities. a lot is spent on television advertising. so historically -- well,

we had a thing with trevor mcdonald will literally the brief was to go to find women totally opposed to what we were doing, filled the room and the time mr. sits down and takes all of their questions and tries to answer them. so that was a part of the communications. and the rest of it was just the fact every week he is in parliament once a month he's got his press conference fairly regularly before this committee out and about. there was nothing i would say that we had a beyond realizing that we were now trying to bring in a more internationalized communications, trying to tie in much more closely to the americans because, you know, the reality is their communications can affect hours and they did understand that and i think some more than others and it's fair to say that under donald rumsfeld's name mentioned a few times of this committee and i think there were times when you thought he could maybe have bought a bit more about the impact of public statements and other countries but -- >> again, almost exactly a month after your september by reentry you note iraq is still tricky and

robert mcdonald will deliver his remarks at about 6:15. michigan, why are you pessimistic?aller: as a business owner, we are not hiring anybody. host: what is your business? caller: textiles. we are not hiring anyone. i do not trust this administration. they are anti-business. b. lee, liberal media is carrying him every day. -- the elite, liberal media is carrying him every day. virtually every cable station instead of fox is all liberal. no one tried to tell me that the media is not a broad. they carry the water for the democrats every day. their message gets out there every day. it was stymied in massachusetts and that is why a republican had a chance to win. if you vote democrat, you vote for the elite liberal media's values. you better know what those values are. look into where they stand on the issues. they believe in more bureaucrats and higher taxes. burke is pointing out -- host: which is what dirk is falling out on twitter. you can send us a twitter or an e-mail at journal@c-span.org.

unfortunate problems were up against a long extended program with an audience we have a thing with trevor mcdonald will lead to the caprice was literally to find women totally opposed to what we were doing, fill a room and the prime minister will sit down and take your questions and try to answer them. so that was a part of the communications and the rest of the fact every week that he is in parliament once a month he has his press conference charley regularly up before the committee out and about. there is nothing i would say that we have added beyond realizing we are now trying to bring in a more internationalized communications trying to tie it much more closely to the americans because the reality is their communications can affect hours and they did understand that i think some more than others. i think it is fair to say under donald rumsfeld same it's been mentioned a few times that this committee and i think there were times when you thought he could have maybe thought about a bit more about impact in public statements of other countries but -- is back again almost exactly a month after you

it is the only place with a drive-through mcdonalds. 1959, the cuban government has not cashed the checks. fidel castro was known to invite foreign visitors into his office where he has opened his desk drawer and showed the uncashed checks fueling indignation. the obama administration wants to shut down the detention facility. i do not think anybody is really considering closing down the base in its entirety. as a result, i think the naval base there will remain under american control throughout the obama administration. host: had you compare the threat of cuban and iranian threats to our national security? guest: this topic has generated a lot of debate. in 1962, cuba played a major role in the cuban missile crisis. the soviet government placed missiles in cuba discovered by the kennedy administration. they negotiated a way to remove the missiles from cuba. iran in many ways poses a more dangerous unpredictable power today than was the case for q. but in 1962 -- then it cuba i 1962. there are certain parallels there. cuba never had ind

we're competing with mcdonald's, coke and pepsi. having that mindset is important really for anybody in our business to recognize that it has to be engaging. the fundamentals of designing a paid media campaign, first, your budget will dictate how many ads you will run. so again, gained about. we like to have ads run for, i know you had a meeting in session we had talked about buying an gross rating points. when i first got in the business, about 800 would be had and ad was good. that meant the average you're in the market would see at eight times. so 800 points, eight times. them with as more and more channels, it went up to about 1000 points behind the net before they'll like it was sinking in. then it was 1200. we're really up to about 1500 points to appear at a campaign can afford to do that, to run behind an ad. it sounds like it had. you think your average viewers will see it 15 times, but some are seeing it three or four. seniors stay home are seeing at 20, 20 times. >> really? >> yes. >> 1500 points? >> yes. there used to be
