00:26:14.539 --> 00:26:16.400
We<00:26:15.180><c> begin</c><00:26:15.500><c> by</c><00:26:15.819><c> recognizing</c>

00:34:59.239 --> 00:34:59.900
Christ.

00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:03.179
And<00:35:02.059><c> this</c><00:35:02.179><c> all</c><00:35:02.400><c> takes</c><00:35:02.699><c> place</c>

00:35:03.179 --> 00:35:05.539
within<00:35:03.619><c> three</c><00:35:03.940><c> months</c><00:35:04.420><c> of</c><00:35:04.800><c> the</c><00:35:05.019><c> election</c>

00:35:09.300 --> 00:35:11.199

And<00:35:28.460><c> the</c><00:35:28.659><c> strategy</c><00:35:29.260><c> is</c><00:35:29.659><c> that</c>

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:31.699

00:52:41.219 --> 00:52:42.380
So<00:52:41.599><c> they</c><00:52:41.719><c> will</c><00:52:41.960><c> know</c>

00:52:42.380 --> 00:52:44.480
