Garrett Quinn, blogger for boston.com, talks about Obama's chances in 2012

It's WR give talks on Wednesday morning bright sunshine -- much cooler day you walk outside. It's like. It's like one of those -- Summers -- winter storms. Always wallet. The North Pole on the. All Leo -- all Leo and absolutely gorgeous day -- -- seventies low eighties though that's good for October. Let's talk a little politics. Are Quinn joins us from Boston Globe He blogs there what's the name your blog Garrett. Less is more on what one of my favorite -- so is it your way around well less it's nice heavy here now. -- But stuff with President Obama -- an interesting week in what is finish what the Fed let's finish with a cancer well. You know we're a little bit more than a year out of the that you know the next presidential run what what are his prospects look like -- handicap this race. I think everything changed significantly after this that's silly debate com. -- I thought his prospects for re election -- fairly good. The Republican -- -- the area is fairly we. Perry -- it into the race it appears well I think actually very sick and the secret areas legitimate candidate. Barack Obama and Alex He brought Obama I think -- can win the Republican primary to. Which is the other big wildcard I like Rick pottery how -- sure that He can survive. Is the -- that'll be the Republican part. The did that the conservative state social conservative states is that we think is probably. All it's not that we just saw the -- movement flex their muscles to an incredible. Incredible level where they were able to reverse the old there's there are -- there are significant other Republican caucus where they are. They were able to change that the state. And changed that area of a vote about spending and completely. In the country that we've ever seen before. And I don't know -- a guy like that Ronnie who's always going to have. Balmy air as inspiration for all our -- our -- over at like albatross. -- it -- -- you're right except that primaries have bunches of people -- -- are often -- its whittled down. So at the beginning they'll be Michelle Bachmann will be Herman Cain and whoever whomever else can attract. Tea Party votes and that allows that's sort of there's a Tea Party. Angle and then there's a mainstream angle where you have Mitt and and whoever else will compete with -- Huntsman say if Perry doesn't get into the race or or Perry is in the race and you have Mitt and Perry on that it. Don't they sort of have separate battles. I think -- base that we have to remember a look at the way the delicate they're going to be distributed and -- has changed and that set up. They're going to be proportionally. If it. We take -- -- that's quite a longer race significant that helped Bobbie because autumn though. But it also helps guys like -- Paul who have the ability to raise significant -- significant amount of money from a small donor -- Yeah running a nice for a much lower -- campaign. Yeah but in addition that true that they could -- get back the -- -- -- believe that this has the ability. You do look lovely boat we're gonna care I think that is. To attract support from Tea Party activists could He has bet. Slack here I don't think on the. Right. A lot of you know it's a good point he's got he's got legitimate social conservative credentials is -- Tea Party credentials he's got a successful state that he's he's running currently with a lot of good talking points. -- help me handicap Pawlenty is He still alive in this thing is -- showing a pulse and all Garrett does He have a chance and I it was to get back on the big radar screen what's going on politics. Well I think you know what let's think that people are saying -- pull it used what -- -- plenty now being -- he's not trying to present this image of you know lever that video which console earlier start I don't think I think -- -- -- I think point drop of already have an opportunity to go after the rocket correctly and that the. I was in one of those historic moments -- where you'll always look back consider remember once thought Tim Pawlenty blow it. Chip I just went out of pockets -- There's there's. I personally though I personally don't think there's much to get excited about when it comes to simple it is a bomb. I I think yeah -- -- you're gonna have enough if there -- enough issues with. Just try and -- exciting interesting you know he's like He liked it -- beliefs even lack charisma. And -- -- With less with less you know is released yeah I think it -- a very impressive resume where I don't think import it. Gary Quinn blocks for the Boston Globe Garrett is that we we concluded the the debate on the on the debt package yesterday and the president gave a speech. What's your assessment on on how that thing wrapped up. You know -- I think it be summed up in a way that -- -- -- you know IT TV it they're usually when you're out. -- this bill to amend the legislation there's picked -- circumstances. Vote -- and there's. Congressman Robert tests are always got resilient and beside it -- it and if sinus what a private palm I think they're really summed up how He feels about. -- never had given me the speech satellite views like I I pictured that arm He didn't wanna give the speech by Michelle made him. Like she's she's not out there Brock come on -- window at the teleprompter is all loaded just read what it says a comeback yet. What if they prefer Obama's speech to a relatively not under well it pretty quickly after the senate vote a bomb I. Hey. -- -- they got the sense that you want to sound -- but He just couldn't do it and I. That's -- correctly that it exactly how it felt He was I mean He -- eggs He feels and sounds exhaust it. It looks like he's. 8000 year. During our time talks about every day is Saddam mention too much have taken off -- -- start -- -- your WRKO Derek went from the old formula I yeah. I can't expect it to I'm respectfully. Disagree. A -- that. The way there's the present Obama has come out of this deal. I I think that. There are cheap parties five minutes of Spain is coming to a net and has what to do because of of the fact what this deal I think eight. The present a caricature artist painting. The but also -- here to a very extreme faction of congress. Which brought the country. Or really bad place. And I think that it. See ultra conservative hit them up the -- party is not going to be in quite favorable light that it was last election. Gary you feel that. Well I don't think people are so we keep all they're they're they're remember that they elected in the twenties. Twenty and there's also -- summit -- lose but after that He has. Many of these many many of these congressmen. Punishment congresswomen or elected in favorable districts and they won't be going away and it's not like. Not like you had a -- party here replace you know Barney Frank or. Where it's ease it's or it's -- -- districts are quite streak is usually what they got back. A lot of a lot of work economic a lot of the more victories were Democrats had won seats in traditional Republican districts and they swung back. That's what happens in big elections you'll also pick up seats you don't deserve and those get peeled back to the other party so Republicans will lose some. But the real Doug Doug but Mike is saying that somehow the president. Was successful in. Embedding this story line into the psyches and American people that this. This debt crisis never should've happened and it was all because of those evil Tea Party people. And I don't see that as having been the storyline that won the day. I don't feel bad at all either. To Detroit are I think. You know I think it's pretty difficult they're -- a moderate they -- the president what was was it what awareness so that part debacle. He made -- Q. You'll see where it gave Republicans much more than ever want to keep it really. Yet tax increases in audit or are using. Enhanced revenues. Our. He didn't and and He also really upset is our -- I I can't think about a single. One group homes that the rebel -- hitting a single liberal columnist blogger commentator -- happy with the president right now you know it's -- Always amused and in the -- on article hooters. Remarkable -- -- anarchy with Derek and lol yeah. You guys still do great. I. Think is that -- watch it I record. Changer on creature. -- He gets tired. I don't actually work if you're job mister president. And not the other thing is it's got extreme catchy. Our efforts to -- rhetoric on the art -- party people you know street an -- that's response -- is extreme. And not I'd like -- -- That's it's a wonderful point that those who wanna save the country from financial oblivion are being called terrorists but that's. How it goes in the world politics -- let's go back to candidates from minute how does said Rick Perry if He gets into the race which you thinking now will. How does -- get by Michelle Bachmann. He blows by our high speed. Right she's she's got Tea Party support. And she's an attractive candidate that he's a mainstream guys don't you see them as being entirely different but -- -- the team try to people have a disproportionate influence on primaries. I think Rick Perry will track key parts of port forward on its axis. I mean this is a guy who despite is wavering position and how it goes both gay marriage. States' rights -- -- that issue. Of big academic side that states Robert is a significant issue with that a lot of the a lot of -- around the country. Remember his -- comment. Remember his secession comment. Do you remember that I I think I think He. -- I I I think Bachmann. You know despite our -- and -- going to be the -- for most of most products are figure out who want all of this great. Sarah Palin is not already I don't think is going in this race should order that this sport and I do I do believe that Perry. Records -- the -- is the governor out their big state like Texas. They'll be able to generate. -- lot more revenues that spot. And parts of that parts exit network. There was. Ever name of the site it was -- -- -- -- remarkable -- about. Is offered is that is the guy behind. Rick Perry and this is the same guy that was what sort HW bush camp and -- too. Old I'm sick but He worked. The picture Nader He has incredible. Record when it comes to actual races and other partner states. I wish that there are up by the mark 00. Yet even in other incredible you know rout of the axis party -- all of I think. That would make -- could possibly. He hit it it -- but not ready declared it. Garrick Quinn Boston Globe we appreciate it keep blog and weeks that will keep reading. All right take hair -- -- less is more at the globe rock your WRQ with Tom -- good morning. Big guy like good morning. I am you guys kind of segued into what that was and I talked about. And regarding the election and in twentieth well how is it possible all kind of premises and the current president. Gonna run on -- -- just been. Did bullet tough -- street three years been. And ridiculously well I need another or years to six office -- yeah. He won't talk about himself because is nothing you say about himself and that's why your -- it is in particular in the aftermath of this week's events it is the enduring question for 2000 or Hillary on the attack Jonah Jonah Goldberg has a great piece on it and today's a national review online -- probably worth reading essentially He says. He had to re mix because the economy stinks so we can't pretend to be writing photo and a strong economy the way Clinton triangular that it. He's just got -- -- -- -- daughters in my -- doesn't we got from him have now been dissolved. -- you don't get a second chance at a first impression you just don't. So it goes on the attack it probably is on terrorism part whoever other outlets but -- what a lousy place to run for a I mean postage stamp and up until it's good about always saying thank you. -- it's a lousy. -- -- -- A good morning to things what -- actuary I think He can triangulation I think he's exhausted now by the fact that. -- and Boehner had it -- pretty close. There in the middle I'm having some revenue they were one of them was at 800 billion the other one was that a trillion. And the Democrats wouldn't let any Medicare medic aid is Social Security that being Harry Reid in the senate. And it Tea Party wouldn't allow any revenue so Boehner and Obama were in the middle. I think now Obama can say. Well you know we gotta stay in the middle there we need a little bit of -- and we've got to change votes the Democrats in the senate. And the Tea Party on the -- and why are they like are you want -- it is refreshing candor and honesty but I was shot yesterday here. When He said. Because there are no more earmarks. They couldn't fire off the Tea Party guys and offer money to bring back their. This guys is that interests -- which it just like commodity got to be kidding me. One good horizon that it's nice that earmarks are done. Well and edit -- show. If we have coalition government we're not gonna be able to talk people out of their position by. Why are things that spending and getting no money for bridges are. Kevin -- it don't you think it's nice to be able to actually a conversation about what's right. There that I I don't know about whether it's right but I have no problem with the Tea Party thinking and that's saying we've got to cut spending we now have to find a way go to they -- That we do have to do some reform and Medicare Medicaid and those thirty without destroying the program. But we also need revenue and. That was so the president just wanna make sure you understood that thank you -- it's exactly. Are you too tired to walk all the rescue team call 911 that's what happened to a Los Angeles and rescue -- It comes suppressed or -- hey. How those -- sales on his heels up electoral votes normally come to his rescue -- know -- isn't about the needs to be rescued. No this is about a different party being rescued wasn't human being. We'll talk about how Lenovo and we'll take your calls 680 WRKO. Agree don't mayors. -- or break it down each of the ball six kiddie books cost the publisher 245. Dollars a pop. Why would they spend that kind of don't want to Massachusetts governor. It was an -- memoirs were -- probably answer -- for every phone every six rape WR Kerio.
