## Transcript

Welcome to the PageCast. It's Monday, June 23rd. I'm Mark Halperin in Hollywood, California with your three things to watch for in politics today. First, John McCain out west here in California giving a speech on energy and the environment, McCain has been trying to thread the needle there, keep the base energized, go at Obama on the-- from the right on some environmental issues and some energy issues, but also show that he's environmentalist and forward- looking on energy. Watch a big speech today as he tries to thread the needle against, see if in the coverage, McCain comes across the way he like to.

Second, Obama also out west in New Mexico talking about women, working women, watch to see if he can come forward with a progressive agenda. It's talking about expanding the role of government, expanding family and medically, watch to see if Obama has able to avoid being attacked by the McCain campaign and the Republicans as being in favor of big government solutions. And then finally, watch the press on this Monday, back to work for a lot of senior people in the media. Still clearly someone we-- people missing the Clinton- Obama conflict. Watch to see if the press corps today can set the tone for the rest of the week to get energized about covering this important general election.

Those are your three things to watch for in politics today. You can get all the political news, 24 hours a day right here on The Page. Your quiz answer from The Page yesterday-- False, I did not eat all three of those pizzas by myself, at least not all in one scenic and not counting Sunday leftovers in the equation. You can check out that quiz question if you missed it on The Page. Look for the billboard of George Bush and John McCain. Thank you for watching the PageCast. This is Mark Halperin in Hollywood.
