Duhaime on McCain: MSNBC 10-08-08

Mike Duhaime on John McCain
Chris Mathews
Interview

TRANSCRIPT:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: I thought it odd that your candidate John McCain when asked who he might name as his Secretary of the Treasury on a matter of incredible national import said not you Tom to Tom Brokaw. What did he mean by that.

MIKE DUHAIME: I think it was a moment of levity within the campaign. He went on to answer that question talking about Warren Buffet and other potential folks, Meg Whitman.

MATTHEWS: So he wasnt upset that he was being asked that? He wasnt upset Mike? He wasnt upset that he was being asked that question?

DUHAIME: No, not at all Chris. Come on you know that.

MATTHEWS: There wasnt a tiff? N o I dont know that because I thought he was upset.

DUHAIME: Of course not Chris, you know that.

MATTHEWS: Are you a mind reader Mike Duhaime or just a flack?

DUHAIME: No I can just read your mind Chris thats all.

MATTHEWS: Then maybe we shouldnt go on with the questions. Tell me what my next question is then.

DUHAIME: Ill just wait then. I just think we should talk about substance events

MATTHEWS: What did you make of McCain calling Obama that one?

DUHAIME: This is what Im talking about. I should have read your mind on that. I mean we have had a debate here. 90 minutes with a lot of substance. That was an answer about tax policy and where Senator Obama voted and where Senator McCain voted. You shouldnt try to parse out the one or two words instead of talking about the substance. Clearly its what your going to talk about all night.

DUHAIME: I think clearly Barack Obama is running against George Bush instead of John McCain.
