There was a big fight within the party about that. And he said, 'we can't do it the way we have been doing it with just the coasts and Chicago, basically. We have got to win, we've got to play in the whole country.' And he turned out to be right. He turned out to be right about a lot of things, you know.

I know he's an insane person, because he once spoke three octaves above the normal level of where we speak. So, of course, he's an insane, crazy man who can't run for president. But maybe they had the right guy to begin with.

MAHER: And he was opposed to it from the beginning.
