Russert: the entire Reagan Coalition is collapsing as the turn on each other - they hate at least one thing about the other this is amazing

Goodwin: sure but Reagan, Bush I and Bush II were all phonies who essentially ran on hate and selfishness and that is what will always unite this crowd

Russert: so who leads them?

Goodwin: McCain - he's a leader and panderer and wants to be leader of the GOP and President more than anything

Russert: but why him

Goodwin: hey it's history too bad he can't mention it - of course it's politics but he talked about JFK and he wants to be transformational like RR and the Kennedys

Brokaw: the real news is that he totally dissed Bill Clinton

Russert: Clinton said he's not making up the things he made up

Goodwin: he's tough he’s Hillary's Bobby Kennedy

Russert: Bill said the bad new politics is unions throwing their weight around oh noes

Meachem: Ted Kennedy and Rahm Emmanuel want to know if Bill is going around like this now what's he going to be like when he's in the White House without a full time job?
