[Democratic State Central Committee]

Transcript (Download)

I've got some shy Stevenson's around here.

Nancy, where are you? Where is everybody else? Where are you is the important part.

We may have to go back to Bismarck pretty soon.

Slave making is not over.

Hi, how are you doing? Nice meeting you.

You are very helpful to do this.

We are here to meet Mr.

We were good to meet.

That was important.

I was a contact.

I hope you noticed that I've been a training for this.

This is now with my new regime.

We have a designated cake cutter.

We just found one today.

We're glad to hear.

I think you did too.

We have party unity.

Where is the party? Jim? Shirley? We don't have all of the candidates here, but we have our candidate for the Lieutenant Governor, for State Treasurer, for Secretary of State, and of course, for Attorney General.

And it is a great ticket.

And it was endorsed unanimously by the Slave Making Committee of the Democratic Party.

It's going to be triumphant.

I told McNeil years ago, there was one thing about slave making that I really didn't like.

I didn't like going behind closed doors and getting beat up in private.

I told him at one point that I would never go before the slave makers again, unless the doors were open and they were open.

Well, you spent a lot of time behind closed doors today.

Not with the state makers.

The state makers' doors were open, the women's caucus doors were open.

How am I going to get out of here? I'm going to get out of here.
