HOST: Tim Russert


Mr. BALZ: Yeah, the secret society.

RUSSERT: ...society. I mean, I--have you gone up on the Web sites on
Skull & Bo--you will--you will not believe the conspiracy s--theories now that: 'This is it. Skull & Bones has taken over the country.'

Mr. BALZ: I--I--I suspect not. It--it is--it--it--it's fascinating to look at these--I mean, certainly have the two parties aligned against one other, but individually I--I think these are two candidates who are not going to warm to one another over the next six or seven months. I think they genuinely do not like one another and that this is going to be a tough campaign, in part, for that reason. I think, as I said, that Kerry has a certain amount of contempt for the Republicans and for the way President Bush has conducted himself. And you have to believe that Bush has a certain amount of contempt for Kerry and where he comes from and what he stands for--I mean, a kind of a Northeastern elite, which--you know, which Bush has run from for most of his life.

RUSSERT: But it is ironic, they are both sons of privilege. Both went to prep school, both went to Yale. Kennebunkport is not far from Nantucket. I mean...

Mr. BALZ: But--but as--but as Bush has always said, you know, his father was Greenwich, and his father was Connecticut, he is Midland. I mean, that--that he may have that in the blood, but he grew up in west Texas, and that is a much different environment than--than growing up the way John Kerry did.
