Here's an excerpt from the transcript of tonight's CNN Capitol Gang:


HUNT: I think the fundamentals of this race clearly are with John Kerry. Most people in America want change. They don't think that this is a very good record. And I don't think Bush is running on his record. We saw from that clip earlier, he's running that the other guy's a bum. That is his only hope. A state like Pennsylvania -- I agree with Bob and Margaret. You look at -- one test, Mark. Look at Gore's vote in 2000. I can't think of a single block in Pennsylvania where Kerry's going to do worse than Al Gore did...

(CROSSTALK)

HUNT: ... in 2000, exactly. And I would say the one worry I would have, if it ends up a close election, I think it is -- the Kerry campaign team's pretty good, but they got to fill in some gaps there to take on this Bush team. They are very, very good.

SHIELDS: One thing that surprised me this week, Bob, was that the -- in Florida, the whole electronic voting fiasco and debate raged, and Governor Bush said, Oh, it's OK. Don't you worry about it, even though there's no record, while the Republicans in Dade County are saying, Vote absentee, which suggests that maybe Florida's not flawless.

NOVAK: I think there are plans under way by the Democrats to try to steal this election...

(LAUGHTER)

NOVAK: ... in Florida. No, I think they are, and I have some -- some factual material which will come out in...

CARLSON: Oh, sure.

NOVAK: ... in due -- in due course because the plans are being laid, have been laid for four years. But I do believe this, that the -- Kate said it, that there is a -- there is a tremendous amount of spending that's being laid out in this program, and no way to spend it. You can -- you can tax Al Hunt and the rich people all you want, there's not enough blood in that turnip to finance it.

HUNT: You don't think Republicans would want to steal this election, do you, Bob?

CARLSON: Mark...

NOVAK: I haven't seen it yet.

HUNT: Yes, just -- just the Democrats who want to steal it. I just want to get that on the record.
