The introduction went right to left, and the closing went left to right. The video has been broken up into 9 segments, each of approximately 10 minutes. The first two segments contain the introduction and the last two segments contain the closing statements. Listen to them only for candidate background.

Good government is the art of compromise.
You can't compromise if you take yourself too seriously. Can you trust the candidate to make a reasonable decision on new issues or will you have to watch him every minute. It doesn't help to have a candidate that agrees with you who can't argue your interests. You will get better government from people that expect the best than from people who fear the worst. It's almost always right.
