- a Democrat, but she never answered the big question. The claim she made during
- the primaries was he wasn't prepared to be president of the United States. She
- never said that.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>And,
- of course, during the day it got compounded by Bill Clinton having that speech
- that he gave in which he talked about candidate X and candidate Y. And he said
- there may be a candidate X that you agree with but you don't think is prepared
- to be president. And a candidate Y that you half agree with but you do believe
- is prepared. Who would you vote for?</span><br><span> </span><br><span>Hillary
- never answered the question who is candidate X and who is candidate Y.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>KIRAN CHETRY:
- Well, you know --</span><br><span> </span><br><span>GIULIANI:
- And I think that left a big gap.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>CHETRY:
- Well, what I'm wondering though, you know, is the GOP trying to paint her into
- a no-win situation. If she started bringing up some of Barack Obama's
- weaknesses that she talked about in the primary, she would have been panned for
- that.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>GIULIANI:
- Well, she doesn't have to say that. All she had to say is he's prepared to be
- president. She never said it. She could have talked about how she's gotten to
- know him, how much she believes in him, his character, his strength.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>I
- think the reason that woman is undecided about supporting Barack Obama, the
- woman who is very close to Hillary Clinton, is nothing really came from the
- heart here. This was a very good speech. They clearly agree on the issues.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>Now,
- Barack Obama is clearly Bill Clinton's candidate X with whom you agree on the
- issues but don't think is prepared to be president.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>CHETRY:
- Well, we'll see.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>GIULIANI:
- But I mean, we'll have to see what Bill says tonight. I'd like the answer from
- Bill as to who is candidate Y and who's candidate X. That was a very
- interesting thing that he did and at a very, very inauspicious time for Barack
- Obama.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>CHETRY:
- You know, another big theme last night for many of the speakers was that a vote
- for McCain means a vote to continue four more years of the Bush administration.
- And I know, and we've talked to a lot of John McCain supporters who say, look,
- he's a maverick. On examples like campaign finance reform, he's gone against
- the Bush administration. But really, how will McCain show besides those things
- that he is different from the Bush administration?</span><br><span> </span><br><span>GIULIANI:
- <b>John McCain was a supporter of the
- surge, you know, for several years before the surge happened and a critic of
- the administration for not doing it. In fact, a much stronger critic than I
- think any of the Democrats.</b> And John McCain was right about the surge and
- Barack Obama was wrong about the surge.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>So
- this is a silly kind of democratic thing that isn't going to work which is why
- their convention I don't think is succeeding. There are reasons to attack
- different candidates. You cannot say if you really watched politics for the
- last eight years that John McCain is a continuation of George Bush. Just not
- so.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>They
- agree on certain things. They disagree on certain things. And where John McCain
- disagreed he got in trouble in the Republican Party for being so strong about
- it.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>CHETRY:
- You know, it's interesting because another place they disagree with is about
- how they would handle the economy, what they would do about taxes.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>We
- have new poll out this morning. This is a CNN/Opinion Research poll showing
- that voters think Barack Obama would be better to handle the economy by a 51 to
- 43 percent margin. Has the economy become a Republican weak spot?</span><br><span> </span><br><span>GIULIANI:
- No. Actually, given the nature of Barack Obama's coverage, the enormously
- favorable coverage he received that even Governor Rendell complained about the
- other night, it's remarkable that he has such a small edge on the economy.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>The
- reality is that as the Americans get to know his plan to raise taxes, raise
- tariffs, and bring us towards socialized medicine and create a poverty fund for
- the world, I think Americans will realize that this would be the worst thing
- you could do to the economy. <b>John McCain
- is going to stick to the things that worked for President Kennedy, President
- Reagan, and President Bush.</b></span><br><span> </span><br><span>CHETRY:
- How do you pay for it all? If you lower taxes and lower the corporate tax by 10
- to 15 percent, how do you pay for it all?</span><br><span> </span><br><span>GIULIANI:
- How about you lower expenses? Which John McCain has been a hawk about all
- during the time he's been in Congress. After all, he came in with Ronald Reagan
- and he believes in the two twins of fiscal conservatism which is lower taxes
- but also significantly lower expenses which is what I did as mayor of New York
- City. That's how I paid for it. I lowered expenses. It's something that
- republicans and democrats have both run away from in the last four or five
- years. But John McCain can bring us back to that. And that is good, sound,
- American economics.</span><span></span><br><span> </span><br><b><i><span>Brzezinski

- Republicans have something to worry about?</span><br><span> </span><br><span>GIULIANI: No I
- think Republicans are very hardened by this convention. Everything seems to
- have gone not the way they have planned it. And the fact is, yesterday, Bil
- Clinton set up this equation that only Bill Clinton could do, about candidate Y
- and candidate X I don't know if you heard that. He said candidate Y is someone
- you agree with, but don't think is prepared to be President. And candidate X is
- someone you agree with half the time but is prepared, who would you vote for?

- Mmm hmm.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>GIULIANI: And

- profile members of the opposition party literally in the same building during

- was there four years ago. The morning of John Kerry's speech, the one where he
- reported for duty. I was on the floor of the Democratic Convention then too so
- this is my second one. And Democrats came to our convention in New York. So this
- change in tradition goes back at least one campaign.</span><br><span> </span><br><span>REYNOLDS: Let me
- ask you this question, because as your convention comes up next week in the
- twin cities, I have to say Hillary Clinton had a very funny line about you
- can't tell them apart - George Bush and John McCain- twins just like the twin
- city. What do you think your most important job is next week?</span><br><span> </span><br><span>GIULIANI: My
- most important role is to talk to people from the heart. John McCain is someone
- I consider a hero. Even when I ran against John McCain, I announced if I wasn't

- JOHN MCCAIN: I miss a few years of the Cold War as a guest of one of our

- between the side of freedom and the side of tyranny. The Cold War ended not
- because the world stood as one, but because the great democracies came

- Democrats feel the selection of Joe Biden as Obama's running mate helps
- inoculate them against attacks on foreign policy, McCain plans to harp on the

- isn't what is means but in reality a lot of people in this country not going to
- do exactly what the party tells them to do or what their own candidate told
- them to do. They want to look at the individuals and decide who will really

- primary, and that was that he was a speech, that he didn't have the experience
- to be President. And then Joe Biden saying that Barack Obama did not have the

- SARAH PALIN: "We had a great discussion with President Zadari about what

- COURIC: "Are you sorry you said it governor?"
- MCCAIN: "Now hold on a minute . . . this was a gotcha sound bite . . . "
- COURIC: "It wasn't a gotcha, she was talking to a voter."
- MCCAIN: "It was a conversation with a group of people talking back and
- forth. I'll let Gov. Palin speak for herself."
- PALIN: "In fact, you're absolutely right on, in the context, this was a
- voter . . . hollering out a question . . . asking, "What're you going to do
- about Pakistan? You better have an answer about Pakistan." I said we're
- going to do what we're going to do to protect the United States of America.=

- COURIC: "You were pretty specific as to what you were going to do there."

- ROBERTS: But he supported this deal.
- GIULIANI: But that didn't mean it was done, it didn't mean that everyone

- GIULIANI: Because he wanted it to be done . . .

- GIULIANI: His job was to get as many Republicans as he could and he went
