:50:01
You're over-thinking this. Voters don't
care how to achieve economic growth.

:50:06
They don't want to hear our plans
to strengthen foreign policy.

:50:09
It comes down to character.
:50:11
The press like him.
The networks, the newspapers...

:50:13
Reporters like him.
:50:15
Networks and newspapers like
ratings and circulation.

:50:19
For all the bitching we do
about liberal bias in the press...

:50:23
...when it comes to
a good character debate--

:50:25
The press is an unwitting accomplice.
:50:27
The character debate didn't work for us.
:50:29
Because it couldn't.
:50:31
Our poll told us that attacking him
less than a year after he'd lost his wife...

:50:36
...would make people feel sorry for him.
:50:38
We dumped that campaign
because the opponent was a widower.

:50:43
He's still a widower. Time's passed but...
:50:47
Forgive my friend. He was on a hunting
trip. He's been cut off from the world.

:50:52
Why? What's going on?
:51:01
The President's got a girlfriend.
:51:06
So you're studying
the Constitutional Convention.

:51:08
- She's not having any fun, though.
- Dad!

:51:11
You're not having any fun?
:51:12
This is a nightmare.
This is a social studies nightmare.

:51:15
They're doing a mock congress.
:51:17
Each kid plays a delegate and they debate
the amendments. What's not fun?

:51:21
- Good night, Dad.
- Good night, sweetheart.

:51:26
- It was nice meeting you.
- It was nice to meet you, too.

:51:29
- Sleep well, honey. I love you.
- Love you too, Dad.

:51:33
She's wonderful.
:51:35
She's her mother.
:51:38
She's you.
:51:45
Would you like the 25-cent tour?
:51:48
Okay.
:51:52
I thought C-STAD wouldn't be operational
until January.

:51:55
It was ready ahead of schedule.
We've just been waiting for the personnel.

:51:59
- The Israelis?
- No, our guys.
