Martha Coakley is in it to win it

CM sixty in the WRKO. Play this senate thing. What she's saying. Doesn't care about Joe Kennedy and she shouldn't care about -- had to say that in Russians are to obviously -- delicately and our actions are saying yeah her subliminal message is the right one for voters to hear what's his comfort pair did -- bread for the job right now best person for the job I don't care Joe Kennedy gets in the race should care about Joe Kennedy's are gonna be a factor he gets in the race. It's it took it to be -- on the screen now it looks like a grandmother to be dead deferential. Right out of the box to anybody else as opposed to saying to having the confidence and as I said -- moxie to step forward instead of the people of Massachusetts. I am prepared right now especially if they know Chris let's go race stuff so are you ready to vote for a woman over the US senate I wouldn't vote for this woman because she happens to be part of a liberal tradition of fellow Massachusetts. And I would want our first woman senator to break centered -- would be very interesting match up by the way a reality if in fact the final is say is his -- called for the democratic nominee in Kerry Healey. Did Kerry -- is not getting in -- that she is not now okay now that's the word that she hasn't announced -- got the word is that she doesn't wanna take the plunge yesterday's media frenzy of course was about Curt -- which I think this proportion -- nonsense -- was -- if you read -- language of Kurtz quotes they were meaningless I do you also feel that. It was since we've never had a member of the Boston Red Sox in the US senate. That's that's long overdue to and there's an unusual pride and prejudice against athletes and Paul ships in the state 617266. Exceeds sixty about our -- question -- Do you want abroad in the Senate seat or not or are you somehow opposed to that why we never have one before in the state. That's an interesting question Marian Braintree can perhaps address a seminar in -- is gonna show some like c'mon America.

Good mining gallon. I really don't yeah or -- it exceeded a lot of the best practice for that he got. But I have to say we should talk radio and TV I don't why am I being batch because kept well. Maybe at best today.

That's true but there anyway when you look and you see that 50% of the population is essentially blocked out of the power structure. Doesn't have -- the American.

It's certainly cabinet is changing but the bad. The white male if you look at -- a lot of good about the -- they've got --

We talk about it all the time here about you know we're taken a look from the other perspective which is if half the population is blocked out of the power structure then you're losing access. To at least half of the best they talent --

I agree with -- I'm Nat and I just why put it people have to vote for the bad precedent that.

Larry I read on that allows points as well I mean I think that the big issue here more than anything else is that. White men have not faced a historical barriers that existed for blacks. He end women's there's just no particular barrier that went -- to women get the right to vote month 1918. -- 1920. That you know the civil rights struggle continues almost to this day well obviously I -- for women as well there. I'm away women's may I ask you know I I I disagree at this point in this is where would get into a fist fights are over a bowl verbal fights with a different Brookline and a few others. They continue -- to the days from Brookline to continue to think that they rob Barry is blocking people there are no barriers anymore there are no barriers to wipe he has allegation that idea.

Larry is they might be a different type in the barrier and I don't think so wonderful how can you explain that I -- think women just don't wanna be in the US senate I I think there's -- give that'd been. Accustomed to since -- got a aiming at lower office. Select -- Hey according Tom -- state rapidly legs and it just aren't ambitious enough to make it to the US senate Martha -- is the first one million OK good you're. Every US him is that why would never have one we've already this -- they should this year has there should be about the state about the way we got ready it will Martha's got -- not wanting to go but she's already was over the top she should have settled for AG and realize she'd already -- are rough times expectations. You guys had -- hot hot hot hot Mike you have sir good morning -- WRKO. I it's gonna.

I I agree I think that that's a much. Corporation or are. Aren't -- out there I think it's more are there should be more of these calls additional -- but the first not going to be. Great urge -- this state but my site you com.

thank you everybody will be called side.

I don't think -- won't be called fighter and you comment before that everyone in the race just disqualified I mean after quite -- not to be true football. Cutting cash out but yet he made it.

I was very true but that was that was a ridiculous anomaly but if you look at the people -- line after the Senate seat. You've got everybody's a member of congress or former -- congress are holding a political position that would prepare them for this now you can make the argument that none of them are qualified based on that alone. But you know it basically the Senate job as an intellectual job you learn. You will go to meetings there was some people talking you vote it's not very rigorous.

Well there's this barriers by some people bring more sort of stable I think all of my Garros but a white bell Whitewater matter. Are otherwise I think the person not gonna bring the most the most. DOD exactly XP executives spent about.

Are you saying it's wrong to look at race or gender when you're voting for -- not say if there was a woman running their running on the Republican side a conservative woman. And a conservative guy of equals -- I'd go for the woman. Just on gender.

Well I you know I I don't know what what -- that -- you bite boating number eight. Where is he a moderate Serbs earlier gender what the step by.

It buys you opening up -- the process so that in the future we can draw from a bigger talent pool because I'm woman goes out there and builds opportunities for women. It changes the perception in the society about what's acceptable and our role in moves more money. Away from man in the into the hands of women southern in the future women can run for office -- appoint -- as a matter of fact Martha Coakley undoubtedly will connect into women's political networks are. Across the country chart to try to generate a fundraising and advantage from people who feel rightly or wrongly as if they've been inappropriately shot out from the corridors of power and from these type of opportunities there's no and no white guy's gonna be of the tap into. Those. Those fund raising no organizations are -- around death we need more senate checks to a foul ha ha ha yeah. And I and we need the younger ones now Martha Coles -- never vote for which should be a good look at senate. Down -- their names on the -- Fortunate thing. About women and politics thus far it seems to me is that because there's so few of them if they think they have to imitate man. So I don't think we've gotten the benefit women look at life differently. They do make -- that because they are tied to the their monthly cycles and they give birth that you know human beings are growing inside the belly of a woman. That's got to make your perception -- life a little different than men don't you think. Well it probably does I don't know how we as guys couldn't could could relate to -- and understand who -- we can understand is when we try to talk to woman -- and makes sense of it. What we realize how differently we process slight yellowish I've altered about I. I like to see women in power positions to get its act. -- Afghanistan. She would help him. Aligned to build around the aisle when you stop the hotline to Billy yeah I've got -- I would have been screwing carries a hot shot a New Hampshire good morning RW RJR Rajon.

And legitimate election 2000 anyway about Senator Kennedy there was well you guys. And black Republican. Then it'll be a little over there and all the liberals hope for the old white guy.

Well they don't they don't believe in -- diversity unless it's convenient. No question about that well pointed out their John Russ embossed in good morning -- you.

I think you know they'll feel it makes no difference but -- Massachusetts but most important. If you have the around the a movie that's the ideal and that that makes a big difference. Second of all I'm looking for strongly here. Com I think because you -- brutal -- democratic party for sure.

But forget about the left right thing for second -- John Kerry has been a senator for 25 years. Separate from philosophy. He's probably one of the weakest man you'd ever meet your -- you don't need a strong leader in the US sound. Ted Kennedy was I'll get drunk and get away with Chris Dodd did we did we suffer no we're -- he was the greatest senator of the twentieth century.

That's that's why we have to copy of legislation we have.

Perhaps but it in May be that we need to look at this in a different way and that is that structurally. There is an issue when you have. I know minorities no women really seeking public office or higher public office and and being credible candidates. There were depriving ourselves of an opportunity for us it's not about opportunity for them it's a lot separate -- for us as a society. If we're not picking the best person for the job out of the largest potential pool.
