Transcription
Muskie for President, Gilligan, MGG-72-3-30, a 30-second spot. Senator Muskie is the only candidate in the field today who has been both a governor and a member of the United States Senate. And at both levels of government, it's indicated that he has exactly those qualities that we need at the head of our country's government today. He's not a man who shifts with the winds and tides of public opinion, but he lays it on the line to the American people, and he'll talk straight to them now as he has in the past, and he'll talk straight to them when he's their president.
