Frank Beckmann:       Whose going to have a husband by the way to take care of her.

DM:     Yeah, an 18 year old husband who on MySpace was swearing about how he didn't want to be a dad, and uh you know ....

FB:       So the attacks continue from the democrats we have evidence of it hear from the husband of a governor who's gone through this. I'm surprised to hear you say this I must tell you.

DM:     Frank

FB:      Your wife has gone through this she has lived this and she has done a terrific job with it, and you don't want to give this woman the chance based on the same conditions.

DM:     Listen Frank you are the one who introduced the kids not me, I'm only talking about the mother's perspective. Now you would be the first one to tell me that stuff that's in the public domain is in the public domain. And that stuff was in the public space that this man who want to exalt as a good dad and I pray that he will be. I pray that he's working is way through it...

FB: Dan, I have not exalted anyone as a good dad. I simply said he was going to be her husband, I don't know if he is going to be a good dad or not.

DM:     Ok, all I'm saying. This girl is going to go through a lot, and all I'm asking Frank is does she know what she is putting her family through. And you know its fascinating ...

FB:      Are you telling me that your wife Jennifer Granholm regrets putting your family through her public service?

DM:    All I'm telling you this is an entirely different situation, Frank.

FB:     No its not, it's the governor of a major state raising children, while doing a job how is that different?

DM:     Well number one our kids were much older, number two we didn't have a teenage pregnant child, number three we didn't have a child, an INFANT with down syndrome. Now I'm not saying they can't do it Frank, I'm not arguing. I'm only asking a question and sharing my perspective, which is why I think you put me on the line. I'm not judging her I'm asking do they know what they are getting into and I would love to hear more from her husband. I'm not judging, I'm not saying he is not going to do it I hope to god he rises to the task for the family.

DM:     You know what Frank I think its really curious that you as a host are playing the advocate role, and I as a caller am really asking questions, that I think are really good questions for all of us. I'll continue to be balanced and non partisan, when John Edwards ran I thought it was crazy, I had the same questions.  He's got kids, his wife's got cancer and they are going to run around the country while they have kids.  When Barack was going to run, I say do you really want to do this Barack, to your family.  Now this situation is, how much further do we push it.  You've had infants, a 5 month old child, neither of us have raised a special needs child. You've had teenage kids, a teenage kid who's pregnant...

FB:       I've got to tell you it sounds if you wish your wife had never gone through the public life like this, I gotta tell you.

DM:    Not at all.

FB:       Why, deny someone else the opportunity to do that.

DM:     I'm not doing that.

FB:      It's suggesting that she shouldn't even be Governor now, that your wife could do it, and someone else's can't

DM:     I mean Frank there are 20 leaps of logic as usual on that conclusion.
