You know every Monday at this time we do our Boston Globe report featuring the best columnist. Of the Boston Globe glove a courtesy of RK OE and our friends at the globe and I'm told that Scott Lehigh one of the preeminent political right as of reporters. Is on the grounded Nashua not that far away Scott welcome the veterans forum. -- hey it's good to -- voice -- you've been you've been following this in their writing about the presidential race we've got -- Donnybrook going on on both sides let's stop what the Democrats. What you see what he he'll what do you predict.
Well I -- eventful operable clintonian Obama and not an idiot than you have or Obama is just amazing -- I like that I would like yesterday. Saturday I received from this big obstacle they all your questions think it is just latter that they now. Momentum and in his side and the closing date and he'll have much more of that than they do -- I think you're there were whooping and it would surprise me if that. --
It's that that that has to be very disconcerting because I think the clintons and I dialed our use of plural on purpose. It's got to think that Clinton's counted on sort of a juggernaut in inevitable juggernaut approached. And people gradually turning whatever amazement curiosity they had about Iraq by John Edwards India India direction what if anything can Hillary Clinton if if in fact that the Obama magic continues here in the snows of New Hampshire. What can Hillary Clinton do in the states that are right around the corner. To try to knock this guy off the rails or does it in your opinion does it become too little too late.
No I may shorten it certainly shouldn't -- over the that the primary in the media it looked everywhere we respect your your -- say if she loses he or she had it. But to my mind it if that's true would or wouldn't work it and it shouldn't be true that this is this is only stepped through and the long process -- I would look. Guys -- he's won the first two pelvis is more the mind is is that you know premium anyway artistic really thwart the people's minds as to the local. And what we need to do now it is. Take your spirit should be clear that we really work debate the work -- weary yet they are in this thing that where there are people deserve a real debate we really want to -- some. -- the differences between between us between you know a few people the debate it is -- and I -- the book report but. Well I think the I'd give it. They should not decide this thing that while these honesty respect so much so I would I would have sort of expected deep breath what -- rule and let's focus on what to. -- but the strategy and and not beat -- in the right. To all we -- I think that that's that would go.
Scott helping to understand something of between the two of them Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Barack Obama would be accurately characterized this -- the doctrine neo liberal. Because Hillary at least has tried to be relatively in my opinion centrist during her senate. Right years and has not been has not allowed herself to be hustled up pushed around so much on her photo on Iraq. How -- is such a doctorate in a liberal be able to create the energy the excitement the passion the oxygen that you made reference to.
Well let me think about that -- and one of the -- as the defining issue -- if they -- out here you have to station believes more liberal and eight. She wants after all we hear from a much more universal program in which every individual mandate requiring we were we're arguing that the everywhere have helped here is more moderate that she took our credit for repealing -- prospers here where you view you as to what you look at. Certainly in interest. Date is it more liberals are not -- but -- expect we will have more I would read she certainly coming over the and it -- a moderate as a quicker what you're looking at -- terms of bomb in terms of right of me that's -- entered. You know obviously in the democratic primary world over on the left -- sides add -- that the the excitement back yet you that he's different he took part. Actually symbolically she's credible look better you know it was a risky. Isn't there is that -- sort of that the religion political you know expect. Hopefully we watch these things and if all right let's let's look realistic we have done here and it was. Problems think tank pump to electors to Washington and our commitment and -- primary or where it revved up.
You know when she goes back to her hotel at the end of the night after another long grueling day in the campaign -- must look in the mirror Jewish shaker head that some are about a woman should be a historic moment for her that a woman has become panel like -- passe stale lol hey that's this another novel there's nothing exciting yet. This should be novelty and excitement there but she moves -- quick question I gotta let it go because we have Steve Forbes but I want to hear from you stop Leo at the Boston Globe quick comment and observation on the Republican side that would -- nice transition. To Steve Forbes who's here for Rudy Giuliani but what are you seeing and hearing over the he would get I can be get any type a bounce is --
I look up her heart -- or very little it just from being event -- in events are pumping him all the work that you are here and that's what. What -- like its authenticity of this as the straight talker teller people who like -- me like that this is they added that you've given. Something urgent -- although. The couple awful lot of people think that it won't be a lot. Here are so. Spectacle really strong in different birds born --
While Scott -- you've been you've been great with -- time we'd love to do this Boston Globe report every Monday with the best the Boston Globe columnist. And of course with you on the ground here in Nashua we're looking forward to continued. Virtually real time reports thank you very very much for all the time Scott you wanna continue to chat special thanks for the -- and RKO for this -- to -- this
