" Boy this is the scene right now in Crown Point, Indiana part of lake county in Indiana -- Karl Rove is here a little earlier saying. He thinks we're gonna get very late results from Indiana because they're gonna staggeringly from lake county. Lake county officials are saying they hope to have 90% of -- voting tabulated their by 11 PM eastern time. Keep in mind Indiana's among the first states to report. Our polls close there are two different times 6 PM to twelve counties are in the central time zone so the effective time is 7 PM. On and so we will not be announcing any results or even potential results from there. Until at least that time. But this is a closely what state part of what some suspect could be. A strong showing by Barack Obama in a traditionally. Republican state. The question. Regarding Barack Obama is if he does win there tonight win elsewhere tonight. Maybe even post a very big victory tonight. What will he be like as a president elect or even a president. Well radio legend Don -- steers some of the things he has heard out of the candidate. Running for president and a little bit of that vindictiveness going after. And Orlando. Station where they anchor one's getting kind of rough and nasty. Which Joe Biden are going after I think once or twice Fox News. And kicking some unfriendly newspaper representatives off of his campaign plane. A -- always good to have you with us thank you very much for joining us -- out of I don't what do you make of that do you think this is a big issue or -- be more pragmatic if he gets elected."

" Not think of replied I don't know who did not as a Bill -- ownership dubbed goofy -- and -- don't -- I did notice that but I didn't say that. Order should've brought to allow commanders who do battle on our outlook electrician John grandfather were bigger than now. I've made you want to get other help may I spent half my time and Mexico's -- children's right. Yeah you can't enemy can't wait to get out a -- of very good to watch and a familiar one -- your absolutely right. But hey you think he's looking at that secretary of state I almost an art intimate secretary of anything guilt. Over the Pentagon concern about. They're allowed although I loved Frank Luntz. While I'm. What you look like an apple one bedroom apartment with a map of on the floor around about pollutants food cartons of all these maps and stuff around them that. Geiger counters at night yeah. Lol what this practice now."

" Well you know I know short order you. You've alienated a couple of key guest on this show but I'm I'm not spread thank you."

" I'm not trying to alienate anybody illogical plot won't -- on Apple's. Also don't think I've got -- on -- traveling -- a panel -- yes it is -- an isolated from fortune yes and then. Bill Kristol a couple of other tripled. Yes I Islam and noon I wondered if like around 8 o'clock -- after all going to have the same clothes on."

" You suspect that they would change Obama wouldn't -- right. Not me this is the same sort of had for four days."

" I'm also an issue around those special. An overloaded salmon do very and they they did say Miley we removed."

" offensive pictures of you I hope you notice that actually has the census are constantly guided -- we didn't want to do that."

" Well -- Bernard Mcguirk proclaimed that they're worried about my pictures like schindler's I'll -- have long worried about the -- that was an."

" The Obama on whether though they'll be vindictive and becomes president. Some of his behavior has suggested that he's not a big fan of a lot of talk radio a year. Maybe about above this the dons a -- it seems merely equal opportunity offenders I said but Charles Schumer sits -- the candidacy on a network earlier today. When he said I think I'm quoting here I think we should all be fair and balanced don't you know that revisiting the Fairness Doctrine. Wouldn't be a bad idea. What do you make of."

" Why all right now man. I'd be surprised if sort of -- the -- frankly it. They don't people like Rush Limbaugh -- Sean. Whether McCain went to an they've got a huge. Constituency your bulk of its audience or -- people. Are more people who have been so competitiveness sort of -- like just flat. I mean I'm not a big shadows on Obama but that I don't know slightly bigger. I don't -- of subsidies that that's where -- come from I don't --"

" Even if he doesn't owners -- want to push this a little further is that Dianne Feinstein had said. I believe very strongly that the airwaves Republican people who use these Airways for profit. But there is a responsibility to see that both sides -- not just one side. Of the big public questions of debate of the day are aired and aired with some modicum of fairness. Also we have air America. Right that's a good point and it it doesn't work and then and the capitalist world doesn't work."

" And I am entitled to. By investors are real world so nobody -- historical or 100 there's a memorial cup often. But there are times turned solemn moment and -- people -- turn -- I do think though. I was close at this morning that regardless of what happened and of them sir Roland who want support. But -- helicopter were every kid has told from the time they're they're almost Florida figured girl to be president well. On to this point no black kid who's ever taught. And probably not even Barack Obama. So if either of those of some of Obama is elected and does that change the Senate's. And if and a total of black kid some players who have -- Not -- can be president supposed to have. Haven't no way out -- large made up some chairs were apparently not voted for Senator McCain but I'm not gonna beyond hackers federal monitors what the."

" Is that you match is a very profound as you always doing c'mon that just looking at the way he ran his campaign if he were to be elected president. That that could say a lot about the way he'd run as president."

" I think songs are -- active or regular cast members. On my program and oops my bad -- drove him brought today on two surmise there's there's there's there's there's no way to. -- underestimated. How profound this this election. -- and a genuine heartfelt way it's going to be my problem or. Or or emotional bottom but I justices as well I I."

" that show where you've got to -- you guys got emotional of that episode."

" Well you have an end your call up an entry about it. Well I didn't you have but I thought well yeah."

" Since a very historic time but what do you do you actually hear and listen to the speeches that that's what."

" So I voted for John McCain on the west side of Manhattan amid a of that I don't know -- and move us but toggle -- rusted shut nobody. That's that would ever happen."

" I'm just did this I mean I wonder in the scheme of things now. Barack Obama had jumped ugly with you after the whole Rutgers situation and blade -- whole world was turning up the point you've you've come back and and more than than then come back actually. But. You know he was pushing out the door and and say you bear no ill will use no personnel will know now angered none of that doesn't seem to."

" No I I didn't think of what he set -- conservative and also it's time what I thought was -- and hypocritical. A bottom of my shoulder. Is one of the wheels came off from the Reverend Wright situation. He then announced goal most of what reverend Wright's comments in the context. And to consider all of the good things that Reverend Wright. A government -- all the way I never asked anybody who development I didn't like my conduct my comments were thwarted being put them to conduct. I don't think anybody should. Consider although I have a ranch because of cancer not. I shouldn't -- set them up all of those Florida that would excuses for but I I -- think that it was hypocritical sort of Obama. To pick up position -- no I don't the whole world on at all Obama. I'm Bob don't party children."

" Well the response at the time was a little over the top but that's my opinion let let me -- get your sense then. John McCain I've always thought Donna I'm not -- that. Yours is slow -- are -- usually more revealing interviews in his last interview with which you. Struck me as a guy navy was the hour but he was. Angry and and it -- say is blaming anyone but he just seemed peeved and and what -- cases and showing here is what what a lot of it was -- should assume more on the throw the anger because that's what a lot of people but like about it. So he's shown more of what he showed you that morning."

" I don't know I mean I I've known him Allard drive miles I think your house -- his electorate. But -- you know as a potential to be one of the great presidents. The history of this country a victory throughout what a bunch of strong true rebel repulsive reporting campaign against -- in South Carolina. And it'll be one of the Jamaica -- with a double I mean I guess that's okay but did you going to win. So I think he's on I think part of it is anger. We realize and it'd make this deal with a double -- there's not going to win. Home."

" we'll see about that but if he does go down to defeat this would be the second camera in a row. That you've endorsed and it's gone on to -- so you could. Become kind of like the kiss of political that but it only in this on May border and just observe it that's it I'm just observe."

" Army in the -- the last election was stolen from me -- there's while we everywhere were preparing it chooses is that something tomorrow until he lost he law as a standard lost that's. And as a sort of McCain lose my. There's a pattern movements."

" Well it's still too is hardly a pattern but at the third time could be the charm but. Donnie it is always a pleasure thank you very much for joining us we know it says something you don't often do when we're flattered that you do. Your court order all right -- want to listen in tomorrow watching you. Don Imus. -- Barack Obama."
