You know like how do I voted Arlington it is I'm thinking of voting in Arlington to. Isn't that nice.

About this healthcare reform. -- called -- the mother of all unfunded mandates. And he's had the guts to stand up and tell his delegation. They ought to be voting against this it is an abomination. And I find it interesting that -- our governor in New Hampshire governor lynch. -- your Governor Deval Patrick have had the backbone to stand up until President Obama. That he is just talking. To the states with this piece of legislation.

Well like I got I'm sure you've heard this before but you know if your son were still in the US senate we wouldn't be that concerned about what's going on down here in the Senate race what way.

Well. 2008 was not comedy shorts Republicans or America.

How it's it. By the way Peter bloat the former congressman from Worcester and now radio morning show -- like our affiliate WCR and just called and he was watching MSNBC. Comrade Chris Matthews. Just announced with an ashen face and a somber tone that there is a good chance that a Republican will be filling Ted Kennedy senate seat. And I think up Peter said that there was not apparently a tangle running up Chris is -- when he said -- us.

You know it's just amazing how -- of the you know there is bad on MS NB CR. -- supporting the dark side is we are a Jewish jokes supporting supporting what what's good and -- two assists and we'll just talk.

Are you -- person you know inattentive to act on the road. But. They also own -- that network that prost book prize is 24/7. That the recession is over and die happy days are here again CNBC. Who owns CNBC.

golf -- together Dunn that sure it's really and truly -- you know it's it's just the simple message. Don't as of voter let this opportunity. To make a difference go but. This is a chance of a lifetime.

Is a national election. In one state.

It's unbelievable and it's so easy it is so --

I've already done it that's how easy it is.

You gotta -- knowledge into.

What do you mean I don't live in Arlington man look at this ball and.

out it's it it really is interesting. -- here watching this now I have no idea frankly you've got to give the devil they do. And I'm just waiting to see the onslaught. Both of whatever the Democratic Party sends into. Battle here from around the country. And that's why people can't take anything for grant didn't have to be part of the solution here because there will be you've been reading some nice numbers. But there will be. An army of people up here -- Massachusetts. Trying to get the vote out on Tuesday. Yup they will think they do it very well we have to give him credit.

That's right that's right they work the cemeteries. 18774694322. Kim your next with Howie -- governor John Sununu from New Hampshire go ahead.

I Ali -- Lenovo but it Scott Brown but I'm afraid to -- the absentee ballots. What the chances that those belts the disappear or accident happens to it and the -- at the polling station night he might.

I see going to the box. I keep going into the -- it goes into a box.

if it's like most places they you know they put you put it in a minute the the machine cook grabs it puts it in the box. You know what could disappear from the box just as easily as it could disappear from town hall count.

The answer is do it no way that you're most comfortable with -- you feel better doing it the other way go right ahead. I like that there really is nothing wrong with an absentee ballots I'll -- them up a monkey around with no they won't.

Yeah what tell the eleventh Jim we give you better right there -- we know what town you live event you know. Not that you're going to be okay and you'll be all right yes. Thanks for the call Kim why did you know what I. 18774694322. -- running about even from -- what they were in the primary. You know and it's live but it gets a moan about places that community so that's why you that that's why there's not as much enthusiasm is there isn't Maura consulted -- and -- I don't wanna wake them up.

It did nothing to see here folks just move along she's gonna win by twenty points. He's gonna win by twenty point Martha is our -- to lull them into a sense of -- and get deep do you filter of -- allowed to listen here show.

I unfortunately. Well I'm not unfortunately no I don't. Just one of its its called broadcasting. As opposed it MSNBC is narrow casting this is broadcasting. Chief you're next with Howie Carr and governor John Sununu go ahead keep.

they go well it's good. Good good Leo anyway today. And here the the ideologically decided and -- both their party and then they get this sort of a moderate party members they're gonna do the same. And like every other election it's gonna be independent and a little -- this thing and so if you're an independent voter out there. I they ask you look at it this way would all the partisan bickering in Washington DC. And Republicans being locked other democratic caucuses they're Democrats bailout bill Republican -- Would that be like if we had one of -- It would go home blocked -- we of one of the ultimately. Twelve other states students across the country we have one Democrat senator -- what Republican senator and I think inevitably become the thirteenth.

Well you know what what. People should really dude I think that's a good point but even beyond that just think of it this way why do you wanna give Harry Reid another vote.

Right and I hope I keep his right when he says that the independents are gonna decide because according to that latest Rasmussen poll the independents are breaking for Scott Brown. 71 to 23. 71 the 23. You know ever had numbers like that.

Now all in one polish it up. So you'll never had numbers like that yeah.

Well -- give up it is -- this is this an election in which people can put their hands around a specific issue. Healthcare and and so. This that that this is they go vote your feelings on health care election. And and and never needed it it's really a rare election you have a chance. To make a statement on on the an extremely important issue. That statement can save you listen if you. Look at the numbers clearly thousands of dollars over the next few years it's because this is a mess of.

Dimension and -- believe it's gonna say it's probably gonna save your health care over the long term.

While the quality of -- you will vote down. And that we actually actually out there we have to break governor Sununu thanks -- the -- congratulations on winning those two brush.
