what __PUNCT__ why would these be the state you have to contest __PUNCT__ mccain __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ thei ar __PUNCT__ we within margin of error __PUNCT__

look __PUNCT__ thi is a tough campaign __PUNCT__

as you know __PUNCT__ we come from a long wai back and we now veri close __PUNCT__

but those ar contest state __PUNCT__

and i think we can win in new hampshir __PUNCT__

i have such a long relationship there that __PUNCT__ and that wa a __PUNCT__ previous a state that didn't __PUNCT__ that presid_bush didn't get __PUNCT__

l __PUNCT__ king __PUNCT__ senat __PUNCT__ ar you hamper __PUNCT__ frankli __PUNCT__ by the bush record __PUNCT__ be honest __PUNCT__

mccain __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ you know __PUNCT__ i think that that a veri intellig campaign tactic on the part of the obama_campaign __PUNCT__

__URL__ a long_time time_ago ran the ad __PUNCT__ you know __PUNCT__ presid_bush and i togeth __PUNCT__

but i think that the american_peopl realiz that i veri differ __PUNCT__ in mani wai __PUNCT__ whether it be spend or the conduct of the war in iraq or climat chang or the treatment of prison or a number of other issu __PUNCT__

but __PUNCT__ look __PUNCT__ i think that ani campaign tactic that thei want to us that accept to the american peopl __PUNCT__ it is certainli their right to do that __PUNCT__

l __PUNCT__ king __PUNCT__ but i mean do you think that the reason that it close in state that he won __PUNCT__ mccain __PUNCT__ i think __PUNCT__ no __PUNCT__

i think it close in state that he won becaus most of those state have been back and forth __PUNCT__ as you know __PUNCT__

ohio __PUNCT__ the last candid to lose ohio and still achiev the presid wa john f __PUNCT__ kennedi __PUNCT__

he ha state time after time that he believ in quot __PUNCT__ spread the wealth around __PUNCT__

he talk about court that would redistribut the wealth __PUNCT__

he ha a record of vote against tax_cut and for tax_increas __PUNCT__

and i don't think there ani doubt that he would increas_spend and he would __PUNCT__ and sooner or later __PUNCT__ we would be increas_tax __PUNCT__

there is no doubt in my mind that that what hi record __PUNCT__ __NUM___time he vote to cut_tax __PUNCT__ against tax_cut and for tax_increas __PUNCT__

he vote for __PUNCT__ and that what matter __PUNCT__ not rhetor __PUNCT__ to rais_tax on individu make___MONEY__ a year __PUNCT__
