" Broadcasting from a new balanced world headquarters buildings and stole him. Harbor it EO Carly baker becomes a Republican Allen a crowded 2000 and --"

" lose your right hello --"

" Since striking. Four everybody. Not just for a challenge sacred to Republicans this is good news for a couple of reasons for the people competition is great that people have real choices and shall make it is a very serious highly qualified this is -- right."

" I thought that up I'm -- a -- a."

" Or ask someone highly qualified -- and -- Charlie Baker turned -- Harvard pilgrim is that your were not if it is it was in the damper on the verge of collapse and what happened turley strolls in turns it around makes -- a major player it's viewed by many as one of best in the country current alienated if it is actually topped all of the service the professional service of HMOs. -- The areas for I think the last four years it's an astounding it's an astounding achievement what he has been able to do. Yeah well let's listen up too well. It it hit it passed in terms of a member's satisfaction. So okay the members happy that's how odd thing to do health insurance for a short. -- Ha ha ha that's really where you -- he's got the personal charisma. To miles -- Qualified for the job and now even after having done as a matter correct guy the longer he does -- bless all fighting can come pass that's the irony of Deval Patrick. No he came in it's gotten to me a break I mean educated doesn't make you qualified to be governor. Well what else do need some management experience would be appropriate thanks so you know you the -- isn't that a manager -- America don't think so -- the voters of Massachusetts did not think so yeah well that doesn't mean there were correct bill -- and and -- management experience turns -- to -- our governor -- good point he was -- out of management experience turned out to be pretty -- I don't know about solution bill -- was a big drinker and I think that helps that -- you also look for people. Who understand the value of a good -- get a deal with the likes of me and that's -- a 20099. Of the legislators you drink heavily to know well it was. You strip people downing you wire up electrodes to their private parts and see other sponsor couple things that lower interest."

" About wells impressed about wells and one. He would that he would delegate he did not have to be the maestro and commendable -- not micromanage that was what was that deal with disease governing so intact he was all. He is actually probably the most. Comfortable guy in his own skin and of government via the never ever ever had a sense that. Somehow -- that he needed the title of governor of the public attention. While people comin' up with two on the street antagonists leads and no government but I have a word with you. In order to feel -- I don't never had the sense that he needed a title reports to which he was it was Soo much that way because you got -- lost interest -- And sort of drifted away the other the other I think impressive -- do well it's a services to chip was that he was able to attract. To recruit and retain very very good people so you think of folks America. Mark Robinson. And the folks like -- pay cut. A whole host of other people -- novelist but to thank you weld could attract talent so we liked Charlie yeah because he's competent yup he's done jobs well done both in government and outside of government he's knows how to manage. But I think most important in terms of getting elected and maybe even for doing the job is his personal appeal ever since a lot but I don't know what it is still have a lot of democratic crossover appeal why is that. People -- professionalism competence ability. He is a great listener and it's a huge scale -- an underrated skill it's in my opinion the essentials -- politics. You have to be a good -- you also have access. You have to be how hot hot hot. Yet to be good listener and you have to come with day boat load of patients well I understand has a lot of time to listening to people who really -- don't have a -- To have an agenda."

" Excuse me a second you know how much fun we're gonna have which -- how many months silly election fifteen it's it's been all lord how much fun that an and it's a really static you wraparound. Labor Day and then it's going to it's not gonna Europe now. -- wind of Europe yesterday week. Two new guys in the race right was that just yesterday. -- I mean that went -- KOK he'll lose when we have Vermont yesterday but. He was at the day before the new status to break the debuts at this week is gonna busy week this week the governor's race is heating up this it is yeah let video I I'm disappointed that it isn't starting sooner ha ha -- I want four year election cycles for governor cancer so much fun it is it is a lot of fun so it. What what I find mr. -- Charlie Vickers I find him to be a lot like Deval Patrick except. He's got the experience where it's -- discuss qualified to be Governor Deval Patrick rolled into town. Sort of like Barack Obama totally. Though without the appropriate experience for a position of that magnitude. And never actually presented anything that would have made you think he'd be a good governor except that he could say hope and change effectively. And I think there was a readiness for change. Which is symbolize black candidates now I think have a huge advantage in the marketplace if they go to Harvard and have these kind of crossover. Credentials and make people feel comfortable with them. Because say they symbolize change on their very."

" Understood in say the essence of change the essence of a message of change is. While look at this an African Americans have been to the force to be the governor of a serious you know bump of Europe as a serious and well respected state. Law a series of well respected nation. Deval Patrick Barack Obama brand that is that is the ultimate that is the visualization. I've changed the radius this is change and it we hear it all the time from Alice this is a lot of people -- very very proud of what has happened not just beyond Massachusetts what happened in this country with the election of Barack Obama it was for some people at least. Not just the writing of a new chapter it was the closing of some old and shameful China -- Yup and now the -- beautiful point Brad is is sweet and not look at skin caller we can just load and performance effects and say. Proudly. That Deval Patrick can't do the jobless. Elect someone tries something else and not worry about what people skin colors this -- This also although Charlie Baker could have a good slogan and you know middle aged white guys can lead to ha ha ha ha ha -- it rolls off the -- that it's so compelling. No question about. -- also has at least for those of us who are under six feet -- He also has scanned the gravitas that goes with a guy -- walks into the room and he's good looking guy in 65 and he speaks with cute he listens well. And you just say. I feel as -- from being well led. He is knowledgeable. Very knowledgeable and very good at the intricacies. Of public leadership which is different than private -- she's obviously an extraordinary success is a privately to room with the turning around the you know on the -- with the fortune and the reputation. Of of but when we spent the last of -- But. Legislators from all across the political spectrum. And -- and like this guy he's smart. And as you say the height is only one aspect of it it provides a may eighth. Physical presentation -- the color elements of leadership that he possesses he's a compelling to me he's a likable guy like you -- right away easy -- and fifty connect with them he connects with you irrepressible -- complex issues -- it boils it down in simple -- not simplistic way -- But I guess CS it was a recruits clarity brush strokes all of a sudden he can kind of breakthrough complexity that it would have by the people little puzzled little confused and not mature themselves his his someone else that I admire about. He actually ran for law office in views. In this town as far as -- Scott. Served a term as selectmen. And by all accounts brought the cerebral but personable style. For which he has become famous I looked I like people who Willis did that go beyond words they're actually in the arena. You will minister -- what -- like crap that goes with that tedious meetings that you and I've talked about time and time and time again. TV businesses. Unfortunately you know the an aspect of of governing and lead -- the -- up in his his Tom Finneran and a nut shell Canada for most important pillows -- about -- stated the state of the state and decide. The economy and jobs number one. Education. Number two. Transportation. Number 3-D effect on the quality of life and health -- which. -- Can you put your belt back in your pants ha ha ha ha ha ha on those four issues. I think -- debate will be hit the ball out of the talk should he become governor notes -- road from here to being elected and all the rest that stuff but I think on those four issues. He understands that the rest. It's really pretty much a sideshow -- nailed down those four areas with efficient breakthrough kind of ideas and management units."

" The reduction we have a prize ring gives anyone to call and give us those four flashy hot. Let's find something got a case 61726668. Succeed there will be a test then when we continue on 680 WRKO. You always wake up with the head up the arrest."

" One of my learned to -- street analysts."

" Vicar describes himself as socially liberal backing gay marriage and abortion rights but says his -- issue will be the faltering economy. And find Patrick has failed to keep jobs in Massachusetts. It can't grow jobs can't keep its its people is in deep deep serious problems or trouble. There's -- campaign right. -- wonderful him."

" Speak up I can't area those things to set aside a little bit. He saw here overseeing a funeral White Sox officer Osama. This is fun and I'm get excited funerals then I'm not excited. What is that all about. Two to 4079 that's it's like he's auditioning to be an undertaker. Now good afternoon it's good to see you thank you for coming and strike. That's how they are who have cancer -- about the car at a press service begins at such and such such and such. I think that's interest single as a social one of the reason to get silly candidates is because -- like you think it's all about entertainment. It's not it's about it's a serious discussion about your future William works around it and -- Iran -- tell us a serious discussion about our future that we have with Barack Obama. Best of the problem is you did not have won all that is my point so -- is right -- or Barack Obama got elected president didn't have a serious conversation who's correct then here. Cook series you're accusing coaxing of getting it wrong -- because he says political campaigns are -- having. About entertainment product candidate who can bring in the clowns have opened shipments how works out of our dreams don't article on capturing and other ones we've been waiting for what a budget and nice and shine down it's time for everybody to grow up what -- Deval Patrick Ferrell do and -- is the grown up -- is the ground up that's what it is. Plain and simple. Endorsement. Does is it lob I've ever heard him talk -- any politician -- And yes most politicians you cover up for -- Charlie Baker your glowing over and a lot of Democrats and rarely feel the same line Nocioni baker and I think he he'll bring to a unique -- ability to this that the unique ability nominate Deval Patrick's -- talented guy he's inherited a mess. And I don't divulge any theatrics and had to sub Deval Patrick talent and the reasons governors because he is personally very appealing to Syria he's very compelling guy like intellectually. And he's personable. And he's secure. Any feels like a leader. And Charlie Baker has all of those attributes but he actually has led and that's a big difference between the two -- of course have all -- having is at this point his resume is one of failure. We'll see what he can do to change that perception over the next couple of years I mean he doesn't the next year he does carry the baggage into the race of at least 3 central promises that I recall. One was who's gonna -- a 100000 jobs to Massachusetts the Massachusetts economy what to others hope and change. Jobs have hope and change property tells her property tax relief and a thousand cops on the street thousand constant colors on the street none of those things they will be though the -- will be --"

" Hot hot hot he did it say whether it -- a pleasure out of -- got to be a thousand at a cost of property taxes nuts thousand cops MIA not gonna happen and jobs not gonna happen so this does what happens you end up getting Iraq. This is all that's also why Barack Obama's president Barack Obama do you stay around you stats cast votes you make decisions you develop a -- a track -- it usually that's not going to be too appealing. Has campaigns are fun if thematic. Governing is a little different things Charlie Baker has government he really has been built on war."

" Yeah."

" Yeah this is. Tom veterans choice for campaigns are you low Charlie -- and I'm. Little yeah. And an open letter to Charlie for zone -- and --"

" You are sick and I had a particular gonna copy is this giant this -- good stuff. Good good stuff a lot by the way this is also the best day that Charlie -- have between now and not relevant at this -- so now. Because again it's the novelty it's the excitement the announcement it's all that stuff would be the profile the initial profile that the newspapers write in and pretty soon. Very soon. The viciousness rule. -- in it'll be people who drop and absence and Arabic is responsible for the Big -- finances while that Harold is already doing a lot of -- it's there are already attacking -- bush watch because come probably nonsense I think what they would that's good the sooner they come with that south the better."

" Welcome your attorney and a Big Dig on baker. Looked at it was the beginning it and and we don't have to answer our Arab world we did it and in state government and where we've been. While getting into the nitty -- already grading fifteen months before knowing who says the presidential election starts too soon -- Littleton good morning your NW RQ with Tom and Todd."

" Very good morning guys -- slight correction to I had to drop a comment on just made I'm Dana Deval Patrick inherited a bat. I don't want that OpenId conducted 22 broadly because he didn't. Romney had balanced the budget and sent it about it it was 500 or 700 million dollars -- cuts and they cut."

" Nine and you're you're absolutely right Ken and I appreciate the Koran it was about point is about 380 of 400 million -- so that it can 400 inland sixties -- million or something like that you know that that every night Romney had cut and had vetoed. And -- locked in and showed his true colors right off the bat which is a -- Am a liberal I will fight for liberalism. It's about spending first and being responsible second to third where everyone put it to analysts it's not a priority he inning that was such a gift from New -- beauty -- it really was it was a great great political opportunity from to say it looked I just got he yeah I'm gonna -- and really let Romney's. -- stand instead. He reversed the whole thing with one fell swoop one executive or play as a Rico with such a crime was such a sense of rightness. And that thank god I'm here at this moment to undo the damage that evil Republican would do well I mean and that's that's the danger of -- believing -- press releases and that kind of let them he has done on beacon the only was riding the wave at the time he was -- you remember the in the interim between his election. In his swearing in. The globe and everybody else whose -- this guy I was presidential material discount is going to be the next US senator from Massachusetts. This guy I was an unstoppable political force and -- within three weeks become -- governor to. He had a message blew the whole thing on one -- it was offered damages ha ha ha. Never has got a call on some -- many of the and that's going back Julius Caesar as I've got is a very funny thing but this is what instincts are all about and you know what I think. We've been listening to talk about media coverage that actually sets things up -- 180 degrees from where there really are. We've been hearing for several months now about the end of the Republican Party and how will they ever resurrect themselves what will. There has never been a better time. To be a Republican to be the opposition. As when you have wackos into in control of government we have total extremists. In charge of the government. And they will it be their own undoing. The republicans' problem moment anything else -- and the inability to to accurately. Principled it won't matter -- because it does not because he would agree with me that Republicans. Have -- conservatives let me say it that way. Conservatives have an uphill. Climb an uphill battle constantly and it's not just unique to Boston a message -- discouraged this being written. Because you have extreme leftists in charge of the government but George Bush and Dick Cheney had the same script the -- and they Winona and I articulate -- telling running at a transition running against as the -- compelling are equally when we continue we're gonna talk about this side healthcare thing all of -- billions of dollars for parks and -- are an essential part of any health care plan."

" Until then this is what we will learn I'm not. From. The Democrats in Washington this is why Charlie Baker is the one he is -- it's been we've been waiting room. A little the little throw out there from Tom -- Charlie and thank you look at."
