Washington.

It's not how we like to do this very. No broadcasting from London Rose -- Talk your -- Boston's -- treasure my. -- On what that would have dated Wednesday didn't. We went away and it's pretty good could not just being -- well CR by the way the economy is gonna have such sunshine that's. Such we have sunshine on a rainy day -- the political -- Chicago -- completely meteorological assumption by the sales of a pickup trucks. -- dramatically increasing today in the station as a matter of fact. Joe Maddon felt.

On Fox25 has been out there shopping one Milliken for 200000 miles on it. Joe good morning.

And I looked -- might keep all. It does 200000 miles ready but I don't need -- Browning who now are well known as big. That's good putt. -- you tell me if they've got probably gonna win two months ago no way.

And I did that he used you know I did you know it's not all of that he's the -- no bad -- lovely view these -- yeah Bob Scott the sacrificial lamb did he had no led to a lot of chocolate. Oh yeah July Julian Wright played got to get -- players -- an eyebrow.

Isn't that well known across the state -- just senate. -- in wonder then why don't across the state oh he is. I'm just wondering this morning I feel bad -- air. They're hoping that you're able to get -- date tomorrow I mean right now I don't bad quarter.

He knew -- you mobile called me so many -- straight to think it sees it straight victory we don't agree and I thank I thought it was great I love how relaxed he was I -- timber to really I went yeah tomorrow.

You know even had the good life and never I think he would know. All over exuberant he got a little carried away at some point and then. Yes they're talking about his daughter wouldn't stop stop talking about bad though he's gonna provide a lot of not materialize.

It is he doing a press availability today yeah eleventh yeah. --

I mean UCLA. He's going to be very visible in spite their drive his truck got down to Washington to get sworn in.

I wanna caravan I want people driving with them -- I think today -- that would be great I think so I don't. That he will probably be -- importing the pressure on in away and -- laying out some kind of campaign for how he's gonna force them. To get him seated quickly but he said last night. Then he has spoken to Senator Kerry and to the fraudulent senator Paul Kirk. And that they both were amenable to the it ended gonna be helpful in making this happen quickly I think he's gonna be seated as quickly as possible.

Yeah and they don't -- you -- the latest now on an eight -- happened here -- used to do today they're not stupid they're not Canadian health care in the same way. I mean health care to. As we know it is dead right now there's no way they're gonna pass. -- what they've passed -- ready because they're gonna look and David and they ain't gonna happen --

Now I -- I agree with you Joe on -- did -- on the seating of now senator elect around. Nobody will jump onto the buzz saw. In and play a procedural little game and say oh we got really get it all certified. In sealed. For three weeks they just won't do a -- somebody frank statement was very straightforward CLX this is a game changer is essentially what he says -- we have to go back to the drug -- with -- we don't reckon.

How about Anthony Weiner they really vehement supporter of health reform -- in full whistling past the graveyard. -- in there he's talking about leadership. Holding a press conference yesterday having meetings on on how to push this thing forward.

And delegate for brown won no you know and connect -- there. The debt that Democrats will try to keep pushing it forward but the virgin that they passed in dead there's no way to get it even -- that now they're gonna go back you know some -- moderate.

And western web you watch Evan Bayh might -- selected you we will watch Ben Nelson who now understands that he is. What he thought was the deal of deals that have become a noose around his neck.

an important thing though guys understand it self preservation. Let's just take him. Yeah I mean and it. That's. Very good at though they know they're not stupid but they don't they will that's not I don't want that happened to me what happened -- Martha Coakley -- I mean come on so we have interest they go to -- next.

Right now I'm really interesting idea imagine if what inflict -- what ails Martha Coakley was actually contagious. And that would all be carefully campaign like her.

It felt bad girl as she looked like -- given -- in the -- by Iraq blessed by you is not.

Speaking of bathroom curious in a jury watched the politics state in national award so what do you think lies ahead for Martha Coakley and she's up for reelection.

Yeah the problems came up for reelection see -- right we're looking now like they're Republicans like. Let's go get very you know let's take -- I think is very vulnerable right now I don't know somebody can. Mount the campaign had. But could this about but we thought for -- brown could do it so I think it's very vulnerable I think a number of them elected state officials are going to be very vulnerable all. People might start running against the speaker god forbid. You know then -- that I think it'd be a lot of people coming out of the stayed -- going to be huge impact there are people running against the Democrat.

How about nationally how hard does this make it for all -- and in state too hard as a make it for Democrats to find candidates. To even run -- in certain races.

Well I think I mean they're following comment here so they won't have a -- a nationally I think -- did help find candidates to run but they're not gonna be running on the Obama platform McIntyre is our right now though then there will find Democrats but they're gonna be running that -- that they get it would try to run like -- Brown ran.

The asylum if Deval Patrick jumps out of the race for governor decide message he's just accomplished so much that there's no reason hang around. Leo who is the next in line do you think to be a power we both do you guys who would be a powerful democratic candidate I feel like they have no bench.

Didn't always have many united Democrat anymore though. It's gonna have to be so I think you're gonna see people who are more moderate come forward and try to take charge them in the governor where are you know always hearing rumors that he's not gonna run again. This is certainly -- fuel even more of those rumored.

You could see I think a bill Galvin may be thinking that this is his moment.

And I want before I don't think he's gonna you know it's got beat somebody barely knew that hadn't been there for twenty years -- you thank.

How well that would and I think given the dynamics of the day -- out politically that would help I think -- but -- Murray would like to do it but. He is a close association with Deval Patrick which will hurt him unfortunately for him. It he has them very very youthful appearance I need to -- our school did it condominiums -- a -- no name recognition has.

And -- start now. Moving away from Governor Patrick.

Well -- can't afford their neighborhood anyway how. -- he's been fantastically loyal to the governor so I don't think he would move away. Wap and hit and I think in this case the loyalty will probably heard of politically I like myself when he was the mayor -- that's really more about. Figurehead mayoral -- everybody -- he was our they're very good on economic development issues he understood did you talk about a sensible Democrat Joe he wasn't a big spender and he does he really recognize the need for private sector. Investment and growth he really did so.

You really -- linked with governor -- so try to run brand name but yeah I I think it's fascinating it's -- when Mitt Romney lord who introduce god brown of course -- Rami was the guy who couldn't do it Scott Brown did you have you looked at Scott Brown of like what happened.

Well that was nice submit to release did do the -- that had to -- it's Scott -- he said we could all learn something from the senator elect and that's certainly is true Scott it is there is something funny though it's a beauty of democracy it's kind of like an American Idol thing. -- you take somebody who was unknown nobody would listen and even sing in the shower last week and then suddenly there are huge star to put on stage not yet you don't.

Right as good I don't comparison have been -- you know the whole thing into it. Brown and -- is no I mean you look at the Drudge Report now another what they're talking about -- brown run for prime.

Did not only did you lose that status and I don't know.

I don't blog last night as somewhat of a joke that people are taking it seriously. And you know Mitt -- got everything you wait a minute I'm running into what he's well not this.

Well -- anything more about -- people talk about Scott round has been in the guide to reply to the president's state of the union message and explain. It is well that's a good idea and what we talk about right and easier Joe how about this one I know it's very different dynamic but bill -- very capable guy -- beyond belief. Good -- Just well like he could make it into the US senate pretty.

He -- MI mean different climate then but I mean look at Scott Brown what it is speech last night he barely mentioned being a Republican. After he won here everything with independent independent. I think that's really the blueprint going --

I don't know why it's important to note it's not a it's not a denial of republicanism. It's an embrace of the reality that the largest group of voters now is independence and that's -- have to getting -- according -- republic give us credit for trying to grow the -- somebody called earlier today and said this could be the moment for the Republicans to actually become -- at the Democrats -- you and I can't -- changing his -- distraction for the Democrats always claimed in the -- in the Big -- but does a civil war that goes on under that had.

you know better than any -- now that they've been all that Big Ten stuff really isn't true. No clue about why do you try to Draper and some of the party.

Call the nano dock when I try to impose that there -- all there -- control until somebody strays the nipple I got the glory ahead on. Joe Maddon told fox 35 many are closing thoughts.

Well -- put the -- called point 812 brown talked is that they'll forget brown -- run for reelection. And 52. And so doesn't like this in my dream scenario. The person who comes back acted challenged brown the Democrat Joe Kennedy the real Joe Kennedy comes back in place while the paid back -- vocal feet.

Not all I'm proud unlike I out of there right now is it -- rain might he be a judge dreaming about that for marine borders pointed yeah yeah yeah oh my gosh you want the red meat every day ahead -- okay.

You have and it he did anybody it was even not a typical Democrat when he was that not.

We -- for a balanced budget I recall I was very much for the balanced budget and.

Very -- start sleep for the war and so I mean is. He guy that's what I'm hoping anyway -- you listen and think about it.

Oh I know why I mean Dodi who did it's obvious why your fantasizing this way because you wanna see Joe Kennedy crashed that's -- its a -- a nice scenario editorial -- so what happens -- felt like advice five thank you sir. Good stuff six point 72666. Its C. It's good to get his feedback I love that I love that -- Joan Kennedy -- and -- that's a classic I would suggest to you by Joe decides to run against Scott Brown I would suggest changing his name -- quickly as possible. A new name the Kennedy name is -- you -- the -- should -- then he ran yesterday he only got 22000 vote somebody year old daughter over two million. Come on now you call Joe variety got the population of Belmont to vote from out of a stay with six million people in 2012. It's always do.
