The country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate. Especially ones such as Obama a quote light skinned African American. With no negro dialect. Unless we want to have one as he said privately it's harmful or fair and thorough and small room mr. Steele should read stepped down he -- mean -- the standard is the ones that I've spent a lot is that where he was wishing happy birthday to Strom -- compared to calling. The candidate for president you know light skinned negro. Such one's own to a 6660. Or sixty yeah.

The largest group -- population. Is Indian Americans moving from India. You cannot go to pay 7-Eleven. How much of a slight Indian. You've got concerns.

What's sexy and pray. Broadcasting from a new Mellon's world headquarters builder in the trailer in the store mode just felt -- vocal group and certainly you lost half. Yourself hey you know this big -- on and I'm -- yourself and about.

Deliver deliver them I don't call chapstick come talk talk talk. Not chapstick again I have enough power what is the prom with your lips that drives they tend to get tribal ones in the morning maybe wants an afternoon you know inattentive. You realize your were your lips are actually like shiny red I realized they have this fresh -- street is look at the rest your skin and stay on the other side -- you know this wasn't a couple of by the power -- I don't know but you're gonna have to be nervous.

This big news out there with you got to the enemy. But tonight is -- a debate that cannot be a Make or Break moment for the Martha Coakley the Democrat nominee are excited -- and really nobody's been able to talk -- because it's impossible to predict what role of what impact if any will what Joe Kennedy. Do you libertarian who's in the candidate to have but. He you know he he could sure he could shake things up tonight not that he's gonna win this thing I don't think even think mister Kennedy has is -- of that. Delusion but. This going to be big debate and so -- our broadcast to carry on several channel.

So tonight was the first -- are real live -- to -- debate because others have been fairly isolated -- where they have been done just yet and this one so our primetime I think what times and articles on 7 o'clock 7 o'clock right on several channel said the Kennedy institute is putting it upon -- the host and you mess. Boston right up their -- spot was the -- right -- Morrison boulevard near the -- feel this going to be hosting and I'm gonna be in the audience Abdullah tonight and -- one that's dynamic is hard to predict his while the effect -- have yes that's true -- you intimidate Martha -- will she freeze up with the pressure your -- I -- to cuts that might not a bad idea. So this Scott Brown surging into poles and getting crushed in the Boston -- On Saturday. Public poll -- policy polling came out with a -- And the results of that worry one point Scott Brown believed to pay one point lead and then earlier in the week Rasmussen come out with its Paul. And that showed a nine point Coakley -- both very good news for Scott Brown and lighting a fire under the box of the Coakley campaign. Who'd been incredibly cynical and if capped their candidate off the campaign trail. For fear that she might lose the race of people that's an -- little bit better to leave things well enough alone another idea -- enjoy it now the best.

Handling in my opinion -- said this before. How I'll say it again I do think Martha Coakley very talented very good on her feet has been poorly handled knew how Idearc candidate if your candidate is inept. If the candidate as talented as she is she clearly is -- cannot deny dispute she's a very good life. And she has done a -- Brazilian jury trials she's good on her -- she's articulate US commander is subject matter about her problem more than anything else is. The ideological position she stake.

So it's a video of the day but I wanna challenge your point on -- this is not the appropriate way to run campaigns is what John Kerry does. -- what Ted Kennedy does this is what incumbents who feel confident do. They told what -- while there -- themselves much time face to face with her opponent of the challenge they do the debates they try to do them in time.

Then there incumbents and indeed it's the person challenged them as a non entity should they can do the rope a dope on the disappear because thing and normal John Kerry when he was challenged by bill weld who that was not going to work. Martha Coakley has not established itself as an incumbent senator.

Don't know what the attorney general what she thought was that Scott Brown was not a significant enough force for -- get busted. On being cynical and malicious in the way she's handling the political process. And -- she miscalculated but all I'm trying to say is this is standard incumbent secure. Politics if you know your gonna win. Then if you don't like roping out the other nobody give your opponent a chance -- knock out the -- by accident now maybe they take a swing day after the Melanie thank you know you down and there's nothing you can do. But. What's going on now is that it's a different political environment then she realized gently so we're getting to see what a savvy politician Martha Coakley this -- no there was an angry electorate. She didn't know there was backlash against the cynical politics of the Democratic Party in the state of Massachusetts. -- another Barack Obama dream was over months ago a news you're just coasting downhill had to pick up speed it's also probably inevitable that she and others were too good to do would be caught up in the fact that this is the replacement election for people of characterized. As the Ted -- that's when she saw on a short her Camelot and -- and that's another miss I'll close out she taught -- the Kennedys was so significant it's not. And it's over and it is he in fact the fact that fact that she brought them out to endorse -- last week that's her idea how to save herself that she's out of touch that she's wrong on the issues. And that she took a cynical approach of the campaign like she was some kind of ordained candidate. She thought the way to correct Edison caught a bunch of has been Kennedys or never been Kennedys to endorse our. She's totally miss the boat she keeps miss stepping in to miss step.

Well I think she's figured it out now and if nothing else the -- indicated to them there's no there are no grounds for complacency. The the -- the mood of the electorate is very volatile the mood of the electorate does not -- is beyond volatile it's angry and it's frightened and it's about the economy -- This in Detroit bomber situation over Christmas. -- by its people. I'm enough of the ideological. Excess and nonsense and focus on things that we the American people are concerned about national security. And the economy. The EU yes in the samples and I'm saying you talked to the not the same people but pretty either compete get the pulse the people on this healthcare situation. Nobody in their right mind actually thinks his health care crisis and yet. Leaders in the democratic idea may you know mother -- responded to this -- bit sick or without this he'd be impasse right now. The other country gonna Helena hand basket but it's not because of their health well yeah.

Or were alleged crisis a war I don't think -- be waiting for years in the legislation to have it implement the so that's contradicting themselves on that but also on the health care I think what people are realizing is that this bill is not responsive to the legitimate health care problems. It is a desire to socialize the country and to add costs of doing business -- you know the the economy and the cost of government the explosive expansion of government. Under the the Democrats of Barack Obama is scaring the heck out of people. And they're seeing this healthcare thing as part of sequence of decisions and policy preferences on the part of Democrats. Then have to do with increasing the cost of doing business sure growing the size of the deficit creates more and more uncertainty in the minds of decision makers who active with creation of you know you Rhode colonies. The -- already is frightening to those folks they are not going to -- if you will still be mired at ten plus percent unemployment. In my opinion unfortunately for many many months all right so the whole sequence. Nine point -- Coakley leave the last -- forgotten what they Rasmussen came out up there on Saturday public Paul policy polling comes over the poll officials say one point. They one point Scott Brown lead and then miraculously on Sunday. The globe comes up with a fifteen point lead -- Martha Coakley the globe trying now it seems CF Scott -- elected. Trying to discourage Democrats from getting excited and thinking they have to worry. In playing into Coakley is all I can just sit in the easy chair you're watching the patriots reruns and everything will be fine on Election Day. What do you think about this little manipulation by the globe which polls are you believe -- who's gonna win this race and -- have you voted yet 617. 2666860. Mike you're NW RQ with Tom and Todd.

Hey Tom might not talk I don't need my good morning. Listen I'm curious of the globe Bob you know -- newspaper. It's not a political com web -- or wrong that's wrong. And and you know -- to swear an attempt to sway public opinion like that. To me it's incredibly reckless and democracy.

but all newspapers do this all the time.

I know that and I and I'm not naive but. It's at this same time you know Martha Martha Coakley whatever absurd -- I'm gonna be responsible to you voters. Spinning the Democrats power in Washington with. Our cap and trade and their health care saying it's. And -- going against all their constituents well or the majority of their constituents what -- on the go to help. They're so Martha Coakley essentially saying that she's responsible who are the voters in nonsense.

But might let me ask a question how does it help the globe. Two published a poll that. He is manipulative that seems to be the -- because they run out -- thank. There are plenty but do you what might actually think that these things become self fulfilling prophecies.

Yeah it's not there it's just it's still wrong heroes they are public document. It's really it's I mean and and again that type of politics mr. Russert came on the planet.

They are right I agree with Didier I think you make a big mistake however when you say it's a run use of a public document. I'm reminded of the observation. That we always. Forget and insist they are private entity like any private entity they were interested in power off. Profit influence prestige and he'll do anything however not just from my perspective I don't think it helps them one bit achieve those other things that they pursue. If they seen anyway this manipulating. Inflammation.

don't know they're manipulating information because they're the primary -- news source of news in the city well let's hope they let NFL team point Paul most people don't know the other poll came out Saturday Sean Scott Carolina.

Let's say the real deal -- let's say the real deal was somewhere between the PP people and the rest -- that is between 19. Martha might be ten point that gets a little ten points went OK let's say that's the real deal -- How does it help the Boston Globe institutionally to publish pro fifteen percentage points -- Coakley screws like most people then. Say in the and they conclude and say it if you if it's gonna come subway between the 19 we just talked about they say. The globe is a collection of idiots now the -- you know it doesn't help the -- they take.

As they wanted to be a self fulfilling prophecy like you said you want to be an audience people on that energized Republican side guess what this is -- and -- happen. The institutionalized. Support for Martha Coakley is gonna drifter in this nothing the people can do about this took. Good to stop this avalanche of snow from just blowing you over. You're stuck now --

Radical I think gives the goal was is manipulative and mischievous as you suggest. He would creeping into the way they -- pull up to date results. How candidate creeps whenever I holes that can so tell me this why did they mention the other polls in this story on their -- If you if you wife Europe I'm biased newspaper just trying to do good coverage you would say to -- came out this weekend one last week one was our Paul. One came from public policy and one came from grass must alleged break down the number I'll -- folks at the globe to explain why are you raise a question -- that's the answer right there don't know not necessarily when you and I are on the reach of every day we do not talked generally about any other stationed. Any other show there -- million radio -- not masculine to talk about another newspaper. Well they don't have to but they're talking about they -- hand me a whole B not Saunders also in the last power -- when they in the very last paraffin inside the newspaper saved by the weight or couple on the Paulson had different results because that would be accurate reporting of the -- we depend on the global mean the paper of record. And what they do they deliberately Alter the record to deceived people -- WRKO atomic Todd.

awards are ready they welcome back what the.

Thank you sir it's good to be home it was a great great trip with conservatives too as we had a ball why don't I get called mr. talk coast.

Like it's. -- Hey you know it what do you expect from the Boston Globe paper of record and our area well well well what a surprise. You know they should do nothing know what what what I'm concerned about is that so voter turn up for the primary in the front what 1013%.

Terrible -- and really some ridiculous somebody else.

It was outrageous but this does not bode well for Coakley because what Cheney's mission is the unions in the the infrastructure of the lead that Democrat party in this state to come up big time for our.

You make -- a mistake re his wife Andrea that infrastructure does not dependent has not moved by globe headlines. They like those headlines when their favorable they had the own communications infrastructure it's a great mind it's electronic kid's digital obviously is -- all less than every union met every union member has been told ten times now by emails by -- Greg. By snail mail in my phone -- don't forget next Tuesday don't forget that's I don't know play not only -- gonna vote for Murtha call.

Right exactly what the guarantee that they're gonna even show up at the -- what I'm saying is that. BP overall majority of the voters and if they still believe and I can you I think I'm correct or independent. And what do people need to listen to the debates very closely I looked into the Democrat debate. With the four of them know what I came away with it is more of the -- Fast tracking illegal aliens in this citizenship. The the health care probability is very important for the United States not only in the in the way that they deemed it. I mean it's it's one thing after another after her -- she represents politics as usual. She she there's a issues given the impression that she is the heir apparent said the -- they absolutely have not seen fit well at all. With independent.

Now -- you have laid it out beautifully. Every decision the Coakley campaign has made proves that she's not ready to -- she's she's out of touch with the people Massachusetts. Out of touch where the big issues that go ahead are going and she's -- on all the issues -- there's not one stance she has that's right for this country.

Well it's interesting she has a stansted differs from Scott Brown she also has it in that same stance she differs from President Obama -- He can't say she fits into the Obama Reid Pelosi agenda. A 100% in my B eighty might be ninety whatever it is. It's north of fifty I'll grant you that but on the sewerage and Afghanistan another 380000 true she says hey wait a minute end of story I'm not by an -- now Scott. Is supportive of the president's -- it shows is a little kind of topsy turvy politics go.

Not really well now that's you know -- a lot of liberals are upset with the president on that he's playing national politics she's played state politics that's all. Frank you're NW RK an -- good morning to you.

More guys Zelaya. -- I think. I think the basic issue there with the it it was a globe as they realize that there were their audience is depleting and depleting rapidly as the Florida half point swing I believe on merit that poll. And all other Gallup polls that are reflected. And I think it's -- steal it. Based steel and they all it's also important. That they can maybe generate O'Donnell 5% spur route Martha Coakley it -- and the fixes here and and that's the end of this. I had tickets as she orders simple -- so does that. And it's the situation is serious self fulfilling part. We're pregnant it's it would -- point. Very can bring it heavyweight sultan our bodies over -- they're concerned.

I don't think the old school machine politics is what is controlling the country anymore. Or is what's going to control this election and people are gonna be shocked at what happens with these election results. And they're gonna find out the Kennedys don't matter the globe doesn't matter. You've got an angry population as you -- very angry very energized conservatives is Mohammad time going are seen as an incumbent. For better or worse that's what my ethical and is there will be seen as well is there anything she's done that would make every -- otherwise.

On the other on the Afghanistan. Does the divergence on Afghanistan for the most part know she's been down the line. In terms of Harry Reid and let me say Democratic Party Pelosi stuff on cap and trade health KF. Immigration I have to assume I have to Sonoma not a not exactly sure -- Philly down the line on that she would've done herself a huge political favor. If she was comfortable enough to say hey you know what I'm not buying into any of -- you've got to show some deviation from the.

Kevin you -- I won't Al contrivance were talkin'. She's not original in anyway everything's -- you look -- TV commercial. And it's like they could they left they say can you go where's the next candidate bang -- a hundred why you stopped that's no different than any other candidates talk and talk six AP WRKO. Remember where multiple personalities who remembers -- chairman talks.
