POWSenator: Governor?

WWHD: Yes, Senator

POWSenator: Can you believe Hillary these days?

WWHD: Striking back like a cornered animal

POWSenator: Totally

WWHD: The back-room arm-twisting is a disgrace

POWSenator: It's all about "Who can beat McCain"
POWSenator: She's going to screw the electorate to grab power

WWHD: Sad, really

POWSenator: More like pathetic

WWHD: Not fun to watch

POWSenator: Actually, I disagree
POWSenator: This is INCERDIBLY fun to watch
POWSenator: There's nothing else on TV
POWSenator: The writers's strike screwed up prime time

WWHD: You have TIME for regular TV?

POWSenator: It keeps me sane

WWHD: I had no idea...

POWSenator: The new American Idol season looks promising
POWSenator: Simon has been nearly human
POWSenator: And,... Paula has "wandered off the reservation" only once

WWHD: Hmm,... I don't watch it

POWSenator: It's a compelling look at one part of the electorate

WWHD: Uh,.. which part?

POWSenator: The "I am a freak and will wait in line for 8 hours for one measly shot to be one of 24 people who MAYBE have a chance at making one CD."
POWSenator: The one problem is that this very narrow segment doesn't vote

WWHD: How do you know?

POWSenator: Watch the show and you will understand...

WWHD: I'll take your word for it

POWSenator: I'm betting on this blonde chick from the sticks
POWSenator: Brooke White from Mesa Arizona - sings like a choir girl
POWSenator: Gotta support AZ!
POWSenator: You would love her

WWHD: 'skuse me?

POWSenator: Sorry - church joke.

WWHD: No worries

POWSenator: So, let'e get back to the GOP primaries

WWHD: I'm still in
WWHD: Don't want to argue about it, either...

POWSenator: You are nothing if not tenacious
POWSenator: This is like watching a Rocky movie in reverse

WWHD: Which one?

POWSenator: Doesn't matter...
POWSenator: You get your butt kicked and walk out of the ring at the end

WWHD: I thought Rocky always...
WWHD: On second though - nevermind
WWHD: I am staying in for now

POWSenator: Not surprising but not a problem
POWSenator: I have all the delegates I need

WWHD: I respect you - just respect me, o.k.?

POWSenator: Whatever
POWSenator: Hey, I gotta go - Hannity and Colmes are on
POWSenator: Colmes loves Hillary and Hannity Hates me
POWSenator: It's like watching a bizzaro world Celebrity Apprentice

WWHD: How often do you watch them?

POWSenator: Religiously - ha, ha!

WWHD: Funny

POWSenator: I really gotta go - don't want to miss anything

WWHD: At least it's important...

POWSenator: Thanks for understanding

WWHD: No sweat...

POWSenator: Governor?

WWHD: Good Morning, Senator

POWSenator: You had a nice weekend

WWHD: We're pumped-up this morning

POWSenator: That's what I want to ask about...
POWSenator: Are you too pumped up?

WWHD: What are you getting at?

POWSenator: The Potomac Primaries tommorrow...

WWHD: We believe we have a chance in Virginia

POWSenator: Yeah,....
POWSenator: A very, very, very slim change

WWHD: We don't see it that way.

POWSenator: Look, I could peel off a mask and expose myself to be Bin Laden and still sweep tommorow.

WWHD: Don't be ridiculous

POWSenator: I'm not
POWSenator: The polls are speaking

WWHD: The same polls that had Obama winning New Hampshire?

POWSenator: There's a big difference between margin of error and MIRACLE

WWHD: Excuse me, but I understand Miracles

POWSenator: Yeah, yeah, I know
POWSenator: Well, unless someone is going to turn water into votes, this is over

WWHD: Let's cut to the chase
WWHD: I am not bowing out just yet

POWSenator: We're spending precious money, Mike
POWSenator: Texas is a month away and it is all academic at that point

WWHD: Still, I am not ready to concede

POWSenator: Have it your way
POWSenator: One question

WWHD: Sure...

POWSenator: When does your Gubernatorial re-election race start?
POWSenator: And will you need any help?

WWHD: First, that was two questions - can't you count?
WWHD: Second, is that a threat?

POWSenator: Yes I can count...
POWSenator: Especially the counting of delegates!
POWSenator: Not a threat - just politics

WWHD: I thought our relationship was beyond that

POWSenator: Money tends to change everything

WWHD: A noted Jewish Rabbi said something about that

POWSenator: Since when do you hang with Rabbis?

WWHD: You completely missed my point

POWSenator: Whatever...

WWHD: We'll talk after the Potomac Primaries

POWSenator: THINK about the party, Mike

WWHD: Please stop hassling me
WWHD: I'm really trying to be polite with you

POWSenator: O.K.

WWHD: Have a nice day, Senator
WWHD: I mean that, sincerely

POWSenator: Actually, I believe you
POWSenator: You are just too nice for this game

POWSenator: You got the South... nice job

WWHD: Important block of delegates - and states for Nov

POWSenator: That's what I am gettin' at...
POWSenator: I got you, babe

WWHD: Wasn't that a Sonny and Cher song?

POWSenator: Who's Sonny and Cher?

WWHD: They were on TV in the early 70's

POWSenator: I didn't watch much TV in the early 70's
POWSenator: The POW camp didn't have cable

WWHD: Oh,... I am sorry about my comment
WWHD: I apologize, in no way was that...

POWSenator: Dude! you are waaay too sensitive
POWSenator: But that will be VERY useful

WWHD: Useful? How-so?

POWSenator: With voters

WWHD: I see what you are getting at

POWSenator: It's time, Mike.
POWSenator: The GOP needs unity and clarity

WWHD: I agree on that point

POWSenator: The delegate situation is quite clear

WWHD: Agree as well

POWSenator: Then let's make this official and start conserving energy and resources for the big dance

WWHD: I just can't condone dancing ;)

POWSenator: What?

WWHD: Just a little right-wing humor

POWSenator: Gotcha... :)

WWHD: One thing -

POWSenator: What?

WWHD: This has to be about issues
WWHD: This is not about a woman in the race or ANY racial elements
WWHD: All people are equal in God's eyes and I don't back away from that

POWSenator: There's a woman in the race?
POWSenator: Someone needs to prove that

WWHD: I won't go there
WWHD: But seriously John - just the issues
WWHD: My supporters care about equality

POWSenator: We can make that work

WWHD: Then I am ready to meet when you are

POWSenator: Perfect-o
