HD205 - Campaign & Debate Clips, Bloopers and Blunders [10:31m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadThe winnowing of the Presidential Candidate field on both sides of the aisle (what - Huckabee and Paul are still in the race?) leads our fearless commentators to reflect upon their favorite bloopers of the campaign primary season. Candidate gaffes and goofs abounded this year, and Hawke and Dove are on hand with their favorites for you to listen to. Historically, gaffes have put an end to aspirations, whether you look at Howard Dean’s scream or Bob Dole falling off a stage (but somehow still managing to hold on to his pencil), but this year, moment’s like Hillary Clinton appearing emotional in response to a (planted?) question at a rally in New Hampshire just may have propelled her to win that primary.
As this episode of the Hawke and Dove Political Punditry Podcast shows, this year’s crop of candidates all have said things that they may now regret. Join us as we take a tour down memory lane and hear the unscripted, unguarded moments from all of the following:
