Imus in the Morning guest: Tim Russert 4/23/08

" Weekdays with Imus in the morning good -- tonight on Boston's. 96 love him."

" A host of mister Preston -- Ramones are also good morning mr. what does mean I mean staying alive she lives for another day she needed time and money. And she -- She's now saying to the super delegates -- undecided. It's -- effect -- that -- created some doubts in your mind about. Obama and his ability to win a general auction and put together of the electoral college map and what did you do to wait until two weeks. Indiana North Carolina. And let me take a look at what I can do there and by the way all the people out there like a fighter. Go to the Internet and send me your money you great about three million dollar my -- rate six or seven million were to be more -- on those two states it's interesting -- you have like -- elected delegates popular vote for her personal favorite subject this morning is psychology. How to argue that head at least super delegates in convince them it's generic interest. To deny Obama the nomination even though he has more delegates because she would be the better candidate in November."

" All I did I I haven't seen anyone but of them I didn't hear you had to say about it but I haven't seen anyone who thinks that this does thing. All of them prolong it but it doesn't change that doesn't change the essential that doesn't change the reality. The senator Obama will probably get the nomination amber what do you think."

" I think that's right I mean -- what happened she probably one anywhere from fifteen to eighteen net delicate game last night. I think he'll make -- up for close to it in North Carolina and two week. She gained 200000 popular vote but by that order margin of victory built gain probably -- of that fact in North Carolina. So you'll hear the Clinton campaign to say it today and from now on we should count the popular vote -- which you can call the popular vote in Michigan. Well in Michigan she said November election didn't -- In in Florida the Democratic National Committee saying it's not going to tell and I don't think super -- persuaded by that. So which he ask you is by hope for another record right situation to another bitter clinging to negligent guns. She needs another -- are the other mistake. And he need to put together some more primary victories absent that I just think the Democratic Party could be very reluctant. The elected delegate in the super delegate that -- Obama I understand you have more delegates but we decided to opt for oracle."

" Margaret generosity and harassment are anxious just to build there or whatever the course and about some Obama is like trying to close a deal but she can't -- a dealer."

" Well she had as you look eleven primaries in a row in February that's her problem meet the eight bit big this misjudged the importance of the talk if it yeah I would -- analogy last night you -- match point how many times you'll Obama been given a -- or in New Hampshire after super Tuesday. And how last night he would be here in Pennsylvania have been over it now -- game. If you -- Carolina and Indiana I think it's over I think you'll see a lot of super delegate. -- around a bomb -- say enough is enough we can't continue and so war John McCain is outperforming the Republican generic candidate in all these poll east threatening not to Michigan and Pennsylvania as well I'll we have to bring it to a close. But if he doesn't -- in Indiana down there's no incentive -- stopped -- go to Kentucky West Virginia accused big chill wind. Make or in a battleground. He'll probably win you'll probably would Montana and South Dakota she'll probably when Puerto Rico. And we'll wake up the first week in June he'll have more elected delegates he'll have more fuel the popular vote bill one more big contest. And yet she also -- psychologically you know I would be a better candidate that all bets are all the art."

" I don't know hard about a holiday out of super delegates in particular from senator Obama missiles and they burn them down don't think."

" Yet what -- what would happen to the African American delegates to young delegates certain turned out for the first time. When they're chilled -- you know delegate nominate. But we super delegates that are overriding in effect what -- elected delegates have decided that you would decided that our best interest. Life in Hillary Clinton look all yeah I think you ever had an extraordinary number coming up at Denver he -- without Denver last week it. They were asking about media bias and don't you have any. Preference is that what you read by a sizable deep down I'd do a record number ballot for the democratic convention -- under two I wanna under treatment ultra Denver. That's what didn't that didn't keep them. Are you would be extraordinary story I don't see that happening. I really do believe that after the primary people over in June. That these delegates and super delegate or Hillary Clinton called the automatic delegates they have to make it is that because -- the longer -- that this is look the more difficult it is unite the party in 68 and 72 in eighty. Very contentious invention what happened the Democrats lost all three times."

" On doses in nine or you'd think so and we thanks Elvis is great I'm in the New York Times -- to going to throw Clement. That people don't like this actress and and in -- mean spirited mountain name Connell supper. But not right about that people although some and I know they don't say they like to the people say that liked. Professional wrestling either and to look at their terrible ratings and it draws -- three or four times an audience only -- even bill -- support feeble light so."

" The interest in the intensity in this campaign unlike I've ever -- I can -- walk anywhere without people wanted to stop and talk about it. This morning walking over to boot and BC -- police officer you know link and help them build ever wouldn't want to stop the -- and understand what's happening in the city state. They all one disk to come to their states. They want to participate last night over two million people Pennsylvania that's -- huge -- in the gubernatorial primary. A couple years ago it was written Dylan Casey it was just about you know two thirds of its its hugely important to duplicate the other one thing that. Make it look at all this is with all this interest all the intensity. Can't the Democrats come back together somebody exit poll last night indicated there's sizable number of Democrats if they don't -- their church choice either bomber but. We'll opera -- that's probably the only -- I'm not sure how that's how -- deal in November. The McCain people I talked to greet these numbers carefully. Understand after Labor Day the race to have a much different dynamic every day it will be. Economy it's time -- changed toward Iraq it's hard for change. To terms with George W. Bush -- piper changed. And the only way John McCain can win it by saying before you give to those issues are you sure you can trust Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. In the Oval Office is that the person you want as your commander in chief."

" Flooding noise at all -- in a bus station let it have been an airport terminal are trying to go all on its. I'm we're happy to return to plan the Collison moderate moderate and -- There will be out in June."

" It is great sides say keeper they get anybody who's listening to give -- a rare chance to -- the -- and musician. Delta Burke and directives it has huge."

" Send -- the company I'm -- to muscle me out in general thank you very much."

" I can't stop playing -- I -- I could put up with a medical that we ought to get on the exercise bike which. I try to do more but I do every day about it -- let's."

" You're that does you are not all of and -- exercised by amendment Brian earlier -- That's 2000 calories. I don't Clinton's clemency and the incentives in Obama children raised don't -- accurate we have a tape ideas. What you're NBC reporters are asked him -- absolutely did it appeared and you don't shut out at NPR archives. -- it rate but I do what I would never thought well. What's your favorite song on average -- him. -- like his personal announce all of it and and and really you know and I thought it was too slow but it. I'm David thank you very much to him you don't want to Tim Russert you know washing broaching."
