This what Anderson Cooper and Jeff Toobin had to say about it on AC360...


Tonight, I want to introduce you to Phil Davidson. He wanted to be the Republican nominee for treasurer for Stark County, Ohio. I mean, he really, really wants to be treasurer.

Keep in mind as you watch this, he's speaking at a community center in front of a friendly audience of Republicans whose votes he wants. Listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

PHIL DAVIDSON (R), REPUBLICAN NOMINEE: My name is Phil Davidson. And I am seeking our party's nomination for the position of Stark County treasurer. And I will not apologize for my tone tonight.

I have been a Republican since I was good and I have been a Republican since I was bad.

Albert Einstein issued one of my most favorite quotes in the history of the spoken word, and it is as follows. In the middle of opportunity -- excuse me -- in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. I'm going to repeat that so I have clarity tonight. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.

This is the opportunity we've been waiting for. The Stark County treasurer's office is a mess. We're tired of business as usual. Drastic times require what? Drastic measures, yes. Who said that? Thank you. Drastic times require drastic measures.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

COOPER: Yes. Sad to report that Mr. Davidson did not win his party's nomination, Jeff.

TOOBIN: I'm shocked, especially after he invoked Albert Einstein. That was the best part. COOPER: And misquoted his favorite quote in the spoken -- spoken word. My favorite is when he -- he's like drastic measures -- yes, who said that?

TOOBIN: Hey, you're pretty good.

COOPER: Yes. Well, I'm trying.

TOOBIN: You could be treasurer of Stark County.

COOPER: We're hoping.

5. Thanks but NO THANKS! This guy must have got a day pass out of
the local hospital's mental ward. He needs some meds, which he obviously skipped before his speech.

Thank to the goddesses he's a Republican.
