Where is Martha?

At the Bruins return to the garden to host the Chicago Blackhawks. I Malcolm Walter WRKO news hour tour of veterans for begins now at 680 WRK all.

For gum balls drug -- by moment step aside until five terms will be all for Connecticut Democrat Chris Dodd declining to run. Reelection yeah. Massacre the Washington establishment especially Democrats. Here that Byron Dorgan was going to retire rather than run for reelection the 2000. About there's retirement on both sides. In the Senate bill do the -- democratic politicians and Robin. It's time floor Sharon is -- month over the past twelve months -- myself in the toughest. Shape. My career and he's wondering just don't I have better things to do with my life and that's the real tragedy here we're losing weight can. The Bush Administration was such -- how we search warrants on to a 666. Your six -- President Obama meets this afternoon with house democratic leaders to discuss the way forward on health care reform. The key question is whether to use a formal conference committee was simply cut a backroom deal. The real world war club there's also a public battle beyond these rather will be. Framing Olbermann that brought Justin from a -- world headquarters builder in -- terror. These forward. Good morning it is. There's this other stuff has been done estimate yet another man were racing towards the weekend which makes people happy it's worst.

Dead into winner though it's not not beautiful out their band but it is -- days are getting longer this is it time to time anyone that's the only hope I can cling to that the days are actually getting along that I actually noticed that over the weekend -- yeah. Because it that for ten or whatever moment when you expect to see the the darkness out CNN is a little later the dark you know getting -- for an afternoon as the Sox it's horrible it's one of the worst inventions ever I -- permanent daylight savings -- he's a true but it we did exist that one time during the energy crisis the net. -- overseas badly -- I think they -- they want a couple winners where they had it just so whether you could save money -- I would have thought -- Carter -- remember that I just -- we put on -- CIA overnight sale of the -- is a they were talking about all the things that are changing in the country we were promised hope and change or getting -- but it's going against the Democrats it's going against Barack Obama it's a very interesting thing to watch. Well listen this little short president Barack Obama has ordered quote these surge. A federal marshals to be replaced -- photographer -- that doesn't think it's another surge as it's another surge surge is don't work well -- he's going to surge right now we just won't call it -- Sarah -- and Afghanistan and they're using the administration's using the word a surge in other words. In the minds of the American people Edwards surge means success. By the bush is brilliant and yes exactly. And basically what it on foreign policy or Barack Obama has been on the surface stacked like a liberal. But in real life -- like he's George W. Bush and to a large extent. --

And that's show that help from Fox25 co hosting in place of Tom today. And this unfolding of well they coming up part of the Euro Obama administration the democratic dominance. Yesterday it was is if there was an orchestrated day because he had that this Scott Brown news on the poll from the running before the Kennedy in -- news and Kennedy endorsement to if you wanted to energize. Scott Brown's campaign. What would help doing it doing a demo to get the national party focused on -- create a sense of excitement on in the conservatives nationally. And in the state of Massachusetts wasn't a perfect have two Democrats quitting in the same new cycle.

I know a critic delay is like you blow it you said it was orchestrated. In no way in NATO I don't know author of the Byron Dorgan thing -- people expected that certainly Chris Dodd was not a huge. Shocker gig given you know how the fact that he's not exactly very popular in Connecticut right now I also like to say he's -- we did what he say he's not in the great should political shape of his career yes he's also not a great day you know physical shape being there doesn't appear. -- He's he also mom likes to go to -- talent we saw on the so at Morton's steakhouse quite a -- so that's a real blow in this all died -- not running again is what all Morton's -- now in DC when I'm Chris -- around he'll probably be a lobbyist and they'll have -- I'm sure you'll always a bigger your bigger budget you're right you'll -- lobbyists always say -- usual political moment you're looking at the Scott Brown race what is it that. Can be done do you think you create a little more pressure. On Martha Coakley I think what -- what needs to be done now is is I mean I know Scott Brown doesn't want all these national Republicans coming up but he needs of their money. He needs -- he needs to compete on the air no matter what he says. Any it also when I heard I know we know of the previous caller not a big fan of John McCain -- John McCain won two primaries here presidential primaries in Massachusetts. He's still pretty popular here. So a visit by John McCain could double least generate media it generates so much attention or -- enemy now but he wants to bring in you know national Republicans like Mitch McConnell of people like now but I think anybody who appeals to an independent voter right now is what he or Democrat do you think of anyone else besides McCain while there is I mean and white image of bill while Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney now is more popular lot more popular -- was when he left office here it was not. So I think -- a couple visits by Mitt Romney McCain. You know Curt Schilling and he's always available as anything. With Kurt should go on the campaign -- go into yeah I mean -- you know Doris but it would be nice to maybe haven't gone to some appearances like -- Curt Schilling did that for McCain in New Hampshire did I know I was up their their doing that then you know people still respond my share of them. The Curt Schilling mystique is still around but use. Well he's always available I know and.

Make some calls what do you think would help Scott Brown rice I believe that he's in energized as assuring now Martha Coakley isn't a defensive one. Because she's now -- rolling out the Kennedys now the Kennedys you say they don't like Martha Coakley why they doing this I think the -- family will do anything to support socialism they want that social Aaland our past they need Martha co.

The morning very very don't have -- guided tours -- what time anytime you want. And I tried I left a message yesterday I know I get I got your message and all right -- all right I'm totally preventable by proceeds. If you took me up there they need to swat team won't know until -- that's -- they might have extra security is true. -- so my question yeah I for an you know I've only had a computer for a couple of years I love and I send a lot of email usually a couple years general William. I don't know that just if I send out a bit unfortunate and had a lot of letters part in the Phoenix and -- have been thrown out of the globe but. That's okay great -- you'll do. Mike I've got a good referendums appreciate it and why do you most of my stuff is evoked what goes on the city almost eight -- this is why do you waste your time. Writing about the second graders -- one -- you write about what goes on national arrested because I live here. And I care what goes -- so my question deal was I heard you wouldn't you went by talking about the word search. Okay where is you cover politics. Are you where is the surge in Suffolk County. The at City Hall or the state house -- you want you talking about any bank and yeah did you could. Consider. Promising iMac had just you -- I.

I mean I see you mean there I mean you look at -- to -- died about light City Hall there's no asserts Tom Menino has been there for five terms.

You guys City Council listened to announce -- new look if you look up the word you -- says he bought the City Council OK so -- great question again I always have this feeling. That Suffolk County. Controls the whole state and.

A lot of elections they do because they have such a big voting -- to be when Suffolk County it did really helps you out and I don't I don't think it's gonna work -- big statewide race where. The more more voters come out but you know.

But if you if you're looking for equality of -- every every little section of the coastline gets its title -- different times of and it may all be part of the same trend. It may be part of the same thing that's happening out there notion you have to do it hits land at different time there's definitely -- good good -- whether there is there is definitely. More people I live in Suffolk County in you know it's obviously huge democratic stronghold -- to change but it is definitely more dissatisfaction out there -- the way things are not. Not so much a locally in City Hall just because Menino is a master at using his personality and be popular but if you laughing talking -- that we lapin. I was going to turn up at 617266. Exceeds 68. We're we're talking about the changing political climate what could Scott Brown do a really. Light a fire under his campaign now that started with the Rasmussen poll results coming out two days ago. It continued yesterday with with the with the -- news that. Chris Dodd who is joining one other the democratic key liberal senator in getting out of of politics. All of the trends are going the opposite of where we would have expected them to be -- right now. And you know way I guess Mike's question sort of is is feeding this story line in that is. Where do it where is gonna pop up next you're saying you're off the legislature is gonna take a while I don't know you have gone some made an isolated cases Governor Patrick appears to be in deep trouble I believe bill -- is gonna take John charities that congress I don't know about that that would be another thing -- be really tough to do it and incoming target when it's always tough. -- it only happens when there's a tidal wave of public opinion it's angry and incumbents and and is angry at the way the government is being managed there's nothing to make that happen like 10% unemployment which were told -- gonna last for another year and a half for very 617. 2666868. So question number one is so what do you think Scott Brown should be doing is they're somebody who could campaign -- them to create more excitement. They are you excited about him yourself and then go larger story line of the implosion of the whole democratic dream of dominance for the next three --

Martha Coakley his campaign has had better ads. More clever ads he's been out everywhere and a guy I some a couple of days ago the guy look like he was dying he was very sick and he was still out there are debating. And he you know -- sick I mean he doesn't download but easy decades ago yeah and then Martha Coakley was gone for a week so he's he's definitely out working her right now NC she's got to turn that around Patrick here -- WRKO Joe -- fell from fox story five filling in for time today good morning I took the morning.

Mario -- good let's get our ears I -- Martha Coakley have a sister in London so yeah we global air. I don't think that stopper out wet -- getting -- I think Scott Brothers due. Really close this -- anyway and it's to continue. Budget debate -- the code which you'll do it because.

While that question have. You know what are she won't she won't debate him one on why Joe Kennedy -- independent nice guy. Should not be an all the debates -- disagrees and me on this but he should not be on the -- the voters who would be served by a one on one debate with Scott Brown right now and -- I'll I think it be wonderful if there was a one on one debate I'm just not totally opposed to third party I am -- involved sometimes two sometimes but I mean the -- only running because of his name let's face it so I mean with the voters really it would -- deserve I think one and that's the best way to really gauge the candidates if you see him go -- each other one don't want. -- Jones and hockey in the globe today Republican Scott Brown still leads a political miracle to win Ted Kennedy's senate seat but he cool opponent. Is giving him hope yeah Coakley has been in hiding which. I think the average voter should take as an insult in Brian Magloire a by the way back to writing columns for the globe thank god instead of waste his time be an -- czar Brian that was a joke but. Seriously he wrote another column is a great call about -- police saying you know where is Martha what is she doing she's not around she won't debate so Agassi no in the globe stars turning on new. You know you've got problems just good morning -- NW RKO.

Good morning good morning morning I do I think she's cute and home number one she won't come on talk and but you know while -- the -- pretty -- and one help somewhat -- talk actually believes it so much it's a great idea that. I like this this is what's good about what you -- that it is such a great idea yeah. And all these other things like militia commanders say this is -- about it. And he hasn't really wanna since they too much about anything. Coming. All -- it's not a game because she think she -- she doesn't have to look participated and number wonder what good first. -- is that you know. --

Not to mention she was against healthcare few weeks ago and -- analyses for because an abortion issue now she say you know everything's fine I'm in the -- great.

Right because -- an -- credit. And she knows terror attack could she knows so little that he talked to connect people and -- these people don't -- satan -- what'd you might need so that.

Well that's -- famous people should be angry at Martha in -- and not thinking about voting for you should be angry at a politician who thinks the way to win your vote. Is to not campaign. Not a lot of news stories to be written about you not doing interviews on TV and radio. And it to basically go into hiding in new assumed that because you're the Democrat you're gonna -- any GR any any candidate whether you're Democrat or Republican voters should take that as an affront when somebody is afraid to come out -- one debate. You know you that's -- should be -- you know I -- had a question for cause them for Todd to do you thanks Scott Brown should go negative right now. And I don't think -- please I would like to see I love his positive -- I mean hit driver on -- of pickup truck but I would love to see in had to do was. What does Martha Coakley think about. Black and then you'll have silence on the screen what is -- think about black or -- or -- funny thing -- Martha kind of game where achieved you know some like that would -- what are you send guys out on the street like the reporter where O'Reilly yeah -- I know they guy yes they do a crowd is he has something Iran and -- outset we're trying to Myanmar the Republicans we wanna ask her. And says she's nowhere nobody seems we're giving you all these ideas free of charge right now forgot to consultants. That Whitman how about it now -- for real hardy and add the ecologists mentioned that an ad about you know ward where -- she -- foreign policy advice from her sister who lives in Europe that's the kind of thing that people remember it's got kind of like this is -- no audio of that -- has Allen ask. Now I don't think there -- audio first saying it doesn't matter Heidi it still again only that could that it was -- so we -- planet -- you could still do an add on and I think if you really want to date to get dirty and how about that and it's a dirty -- you make a save and about higher tax we've got to you have more taxes or something like that not only was that. This specific but you know they got -- did dig up something like that. All right it's it's a very exciting year it's an exciting moments I don't know if there's ever been a better political environments for people who are political junkies -- it's a great year for me for -- covering politics and -- I was kind of down on the on -- Rent A -- raised before when we had a Ford Democrats who were busily saying all the same things all the time. Very low voter turnout now and now we know hopefully they'll change. -- More coming up on 680 WRKO.

Garland smart enough. --

Well season. It's. You lost about.

I'm Martha Coakley.

I'm Martha Coakley -- I'm Martha Coakley.

Whereas it's zero -- You need is more resilient.

That's soft that it is not the new Scott Brown -- as far as I know but you never know that I did not a bad idea. He could have his daughters saying -- yeah de -- can do it right we have family about it if you speak up very wary of the -- Martha -- she is -- yours is going to be in about two hours is going to be in Medford -- they do in this event that his senior Saturn those senior senator Medford is a world that's -- ground out to the fifth and -- not or -- diplomats. But a we I have this big.

Kevin is endorsing it today along with Joe Kennedy and others who don't like Martha Coakley were told. And have resisted getting involved but now there's danger on her eyes danger danger danger Martha Coakley is spent months now. -- ignoring the fact that there's an election going on as a way to get elected and all of a sudden. That strategy is failing no doubt that the biggest thing I think that's exciting about this it's that Coakley campaign confirming. That the Rasmussen results in the poll released this week.

That let -- with guys that I've done before the governor Governor Patrick gags and is very fond of saying that. Oh I don't believe in polls in our targets like -- you do have a pollster though you paid a pretty good money yards of you don't care about what you -- ailing US I don't think they'd have much of response is sort of like oh you know that's negative talk you know that's right that's negative cynical talking -- me -- But. I love -- citizens they are Sosa so superfluous culture as there always gets me the planet always gets me did you know -- matters to me -- oh yes you're right he's spent 300000. Dollars last year our -- why did we really well that's my consultants they do they just tell me to do that 6172666868. That is of course show -- fell from fox -- five. Joanne you're on WRQ good morning morning joining.

Good morning hi Todd and I know I. I'm just caught too much you know that my husband who is a lifelong Democrat even moderate Democrat you believe Obama.

And are you -- saying he I but I thought -- you were continuing our I guess.

How we met Scott Brown add an event that I brought it took about Republicans. And he'd like Scott Brown saw much of that he changed -- designation to independents so he could sign. Scott Brown's nomination papers. And he not only voted to absentee ballot -- he'll be at a time on the nineteenth. Fort Scott Brown but he also wrote -- only a hundred dollar check to any Democrat ever in his life.

Top -- Republican Yuma yeah yeah it Democrat are -- any threat to hack politician. Why do I got yet however why is your husband so easily influenced by superficial things. I -- imagine you always vote for Democrats because they were the next their name. He needs one Republican he like Scott -- here in the isn't it yeah I Scots could want us.

Well I think it's you know he's watching what's going on a -- movie and it's clearly not. What he had in mind when he voted for hope and change.

What if it Joanne and as if this is true I mean it's anecdotal evidence but I mean you VCR I -- actually heard more other people say that. To me out on the street and also emailing me and going in on blogs on our website. On myfoxboston.com. Pals are up for plug in and I think -- there are a lot of people out there who were saying this and one of the questions as it did you know it do you think the media really didn't miss the story I know larger taught agrees of that. About what's happening out there about the sort of a quiet movement that's garden sort of a way. From the traditional Democrat in the Kennedys and maybe to something else. I think you're right yeah did the medium isn't now the media isn't jumping on the story but. You know I think in this case the people were ahead of the media on the source of joy and moving forward view would you require your husband actually develop a political philosophy. And then find candidates who represented in vote for them instead always order for Democrats. This is nice to hear from him.

I didn't say I think that a lot of Democrats. Are really Republicans.

There's no question. Well yeah but a lot of independents out there though -- traditionally lean democratic in this day they vote they tend to vote for Democrats so it's a big deal when Scott Brown and you know to get a lot of the independent voted show is there's definitely something out there but this is the incongruity -- thank you for the call thank you for bill and being willing to confess that about a lot of because they got every dried up the divorce papers later reflects this blindness that there is in the voting process the reason we have. Ten. Radical congress well eight out of ten are our congressman are pretty radical government really found that I try to be terrorists and leave a little slack I think. Well I don't time to break him down but the the reason we have so many radicals including John Kerry and we had Ted Kennedy is because people vote habitually for a party that does not represent their belief system they have in the past tended to do that mean and the state TV look at the voting -- Democrats tend to -- independent even though 50% of the voting population is not enrolled with either party they tend to vote for Democrats but -- also look -- they also can vote for Republicans on a state wide basis there is a much stronger conservative. Thread in the belief system of Massachusetts and is reflected in the people we elect. We have a universally -- democratic state legislature. We have a universally democratic. Federal officeholder -- the coalition itself and hasn't always been that way but it's sure now they know that -- if more people like join -- husband actually woke up and voted for what they believe in rather than their habit we'll have much better government in the state of Massachusetts. Joe bad -- here from fox joining five come on -- talk about terrorism. But really amazing. New stuff coming out of the federal government on the Christmas Day. Bombing attempt of the shorelines -- in charge enough depth what's that.

Break cold coming out hotline 680 WRK OG.
