Transcription

Muskie for president by MSB-72-2-30, a 30-second commercial. You know, there's one thing else. I want us to win in 1972. I don't want another 1968 where the Democratic Party divided itself into warring camps and we elected Richard Nixon. I want us to win in 1972, and I think Ed Muskie has the capacity to pull us together, not just as a party but as a people, so that then we can deal with the unfinished business which confronts our society.
