Transcription

Ed Muskie has always had a strong sense of community. He's been liked and trusted and involved here for a long time. And that hasn't changed just because he's running for president. Just as frozen-faced as he was. Yeah, he tries to use the same way, you know. Scare the devil out of you. He used to love golf. Well, he doesn't. I'll be on Meet the Press on Sunday. That's what this haircut's about. Great motor here. Muskie wants for America a sense of community that stretches from Maine to California. Muskie. For the community. For the country.
