1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: There is an ancient liberal political pundit that there's some

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: of you may not have heard of. His name is

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: Al Hunt. He's about a hundred years old, and he

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: has weighed in on the Senate race in Massachusetts. That's

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: where Democrat Congressman Joe Kennedy the eighteenth is going after

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: the Senate. See the first term Democrats Senator Ed Markey,

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: who's running for re election. Now, if you remember Al

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: hunted all, you won't be surprised to hear that these

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: pro Kennedy. He claims that history is on young Joe

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: Kennedy's side. Hunt explains, back in nineteen sixty two, Ted

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: Kennedy defeated then Attorney General Edward McCormick to take his

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: place in the Senate, and that's the template for this

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: race nineteen sixty two. Hunt says that even though Ed

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: Markey may have more political endorsements, Joe Kennedy has the

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: one thing that counts, and that's political jeens He's a

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: Kennedy like John, Robert and Teddy. That means women are

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: endangered and that, according to Al Hunt, makes all a difference.

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Well maybe Al Hunt's right, maybe, but this isn't nineteen

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: sixty two. There are generations of voters who don't remember

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: that John F. Kennedy Camelot Years or Ted Kennedy escape

21
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: from the pond chap Aquittic, leaving Mary Jocopecni to drown.

22
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: Even among those who do remember, the Kennedy mystique has faded.

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: Kennedy family history has little pool with the Lennidles. For example,

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, though it's Massachusetts, whether young Joe Kennedy

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: the eighteenth beats at market or not. Massachusetts still going

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: to end up with a died in the Wold Liberal.

27
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: Only the name will change
