Transcript - Full

I come here to West Virginia as part of a campaign for the presidency. It is a state somewhere 500 or 1,000 miles from my own state of Massachusetts. But I must say that I believe that the right way to run for the presidency is to run in primaries here in Wisconsin, New Hampshire, now West Virginia, then on May 17th in Maryland, Indiana, Nebraska, and Oregon. No other candidate for the United States presidency on the Democratic side is running in this number of primaries. Only two have entered in West Virginia. But I think that what happens here in West Virginia can affect what happens in Los Angeles. There may not be any delegates involved, but this is one of the few opportunities that the people will have to indicate what they think should be done in the United States. It's up to you. You and Kennedy. Boat Kennedy, May 10th.
