The legislature. Released -- senate has passed a bill that's a purely going to pave the way for."
" Believe it or not. -- Stanley Dukakis. To become -- United States senate armed felon he can't make this population when my columns last week. I've never understood why the globe columnist -- are always in trouble for making stuff up there's no need to make anything but just report the facts. You know you -- you couldn't make up something is absurd is this Mike Dukakis as the United States senator from Massachusetts. Because they wanted to fulfill the death -- wish of Senator Ted Kennedy. That the legislature repeal the law that he had passed. Five years -- he had a death -- wish to repeal a law that he had had a non deathbed wished to put on the box five years later. He used to be that the governor appointed the interim senator until the next election if there was a vacancy. Then the Ted Kennedy wanted the bill changed because he thought. Mitt Romney a Republican was going to appoint a Republican may beat me. To the Senate seat if John Kerry was elected president so they changed law. In the -- Ted Kennedy said. In July in a win a lot of -- was not delivered until last month took us to the legislative leadership that now. That's changed out why it's a terrible -- let's let's fix that -- I broke. That's not the way put it of course but of course the other thing is that you know the way the law that he initially wanted passed was sent up. He could have resigned. Months ago when he was banging. And we could be having an election right now we wouldn't have to wait until December 8 to have a primary would have to wait until January 19 in the middle of went there. To have -- General election to fill the -- would could have election today for instance. With -- city of Boston voting. 1877469432. -- what do you think -- that's the so they go at that point to a point they they've. Yeah this is just that this is just soul. Erica I -- I mean again no one -- saying that it's a bad idea to give the governor an interim appointment. But when you have changed with the law to take away the governor's right to have an interim appointment because the governor was a Republican. To change it back at the behest of the same guy who wanted to changed in the first place and who lets face it I know -- should not speak -- of the dead but this is the guy who had you."
" Record throughout his entire life of of thumbing his nose at the laws that other people have to back. 18774694322. By the way if you if you live in the city of Boston get out and vote today it looks like it's going to be a pretty good turn out but to -- for preliminary election. 25% it looks like. And by noon about 27500. People had voted. Looks like it looks looks like from the early that from the turnouts through a new -- Bet it will be -- Menino of course will be on topic and I'm guessing for charity will be the there's the guy who gets into the into the finals. Michael clarity flats -- would -- be flats missed the S senator from but the center of the city councilor from South Boston. Highest turnout is in the biggest -- which happens to be mobile home precinct. As of -- 3268. Votes cannot cast and mumbled some home precinct. Let's see some of the other big voting precincts. Are well SE but not as big as it used to be. Six and seven that's where flats is from. Some of them the -- hard to see were -- votes are coming out of this big vote in ward three witches Chinatown. But that China but -- three also includes the North End which is it's still. -- that Italian and should go heavy for for Mobil's so I'm gonna guess and overall it's going to be it's gonna be probably among balls. And -- followed by clarity so but don't call me that they could they could change the ponson -- sixteen they've had a big day at a big turnout today. All the elderly complex ought to be flats country down on the Malcolm line that's 250 -- voted -- idea known. Spewed just scattered results 1872 will have -- the afternoon goes on. One as more -- it won't have any results will just people would tell you how many people voted in the various wards. So what do you think give us the -- either Democrat -- senate. They said it was going to be closer wasn't even that close almost 24 of sixteen I guess you could say that's close because they're only five Republican so they were joined by eleven Democrats. And does some of the Democrats like Jack Hart you know the guy who pushed hard to preserve Bunker Hill day as a holiday. -- was on the show. It media and and in June I guess may or June I guess who was. And he said this could be the straw that breaks the Camel's back come vote against that site so I I'm opening right focuses the straw that breaks the Camel's back. So you know they they didn't want the governor appointing a an interim senator when the governor was a Republican -- changed the law. At Ted Kennedy's been tested -- the governor became a Democrat and at Ted Kennedy's behest. They -- that they have now they are now changing the law back there's one more up -- procedural vote tomorrow but it's a it's a done deal they'll be. It looks like Kim Stanley Dukakis barring a major upset what's so let's keep our fingers crossed. 18774694322. Out your next with how we cargo."

Doesn't even have a majority of the voters are enrolled in its party by the way."
" It's crazy that was voted Democrat -- mr. Republican -- independent and I. I can't find anybody who who's worth voting or more."
" Yeah well I mean right. I was gonna vote for latches but he dropped out of the race in many voted to keep continue the funding for -- so I don't know if I did I'd be voting for now anyway. But I I -- no problem I'm stuck. I still -- to vote just to be on this you know just to make sure no one can ever use it against me some down the -- you know what I I don't know who you know I have no particular interest in voting in this primary election I mean I think I assume Scott Brown. Will be the nominee of the Republican Party and he's my state senator but he he does and every competition -- rather go into the democratic primary end to end. Create mr. Yeah death but it is the there's no world mischief to create with this crowd. Thanks to call Al. 18774694322. Mike chappell 10 from Summerville he also voted to continue funding for acorn.

" A lot I don't -- used to send out our next time there's a lot of -- just thought all. Or so ago that would get sick of us now they do what they wanted to build not what we want them to have --"
" Right how a lot of these guys it was more than they none of the Democrats said you know Ted Kennedy should have resigned he should they -- NAFTA where is he didn't have to give up his senate seat. He could've kept it until his death but you know what it looked like he only had two or three months to Libby should -- in the letter of resignation to the governor and the secretary of state. Started the calendar around the clock running. Towards having a new election. You know I mean when we Ted Kennedy miss my 87% of the vote the votes this year we never heard ball about it in the mainstream media until after he decided he wanted to be replaced by a Democrat."
" I'll and then what they're primarily from all your -- he's never hear all of well as Kennedy was never there it."
" Writing it was never there in 1980 when he was running for president Andy and Kerry was never there when he was running for president in 2004."

The senior citizens anyone unclear how is chemical is gonna clear out. Even if -- can even you don't have a place in Florida if you're gonna get out of the state at all in the winter. The week of January 19 is a real good time to go as I've said before I know how bad week of January 19 this 'cause it's my birthday wake. And I stopped -- birthday party well and I never really had -- Okay -- Abrams who say you never had before it's okay how. But I had friends it's just how -- you plan a birthday party when you know there's going to be a snowstorm or around January 17. So. Some communities. In Massachusetts. Have gotten into the habit of scheduling a prop 21 half overrides. In January because they know that the snowbird is the senior citizens who really don't care that much about the schools are living on fixed incomes and can't afford higher property taxes. Aren't going to be around or we're gonna -- or gonna be missing in some numbers. And I have a feeling that's going to be the case here I hope everybody -- plan not to be here in January will be getting an absentee ballot to what the vote. 18774694322. Jim your -- with how we cargo ahead gem."
" Arianna you don't got to let him know what everybody's -- boring old liberals and Democrats beat you know what they know what they got. They've they've they've done has more time -- try out.

Senate ways and means chairman Steve Tangier Penn Jillette tacos -- Angie said he would vote no senator Steve bulwark. The second ranking senator -- ways and means is also post that's that's -- old friend. That's a friend of bug BBs family."
" The wool Democrat that's P&G said it was difficult to reconcile voting for an interim senator when he had voted for legislation in 2004 stripping them governor Mitt Romney of appointment power. I."
" In 2000 for the Senate voted -- if they voted to take away Romney's appointment authority on a 32. -- eight in Grossman vote with the late Charles Sheehan and the only Democrat to join Republicans and of course she was a former Republican -- The perception of -- votes for partisan purposes. Has several senators and easy with today's votes senator Jack -- the South Boston Democrat was an ally of senate president -- predicted last week that people would revolt that this measure is passed let's hope so. This is the possible proverbial straw that might their break the Camel's back in terms of the public trust -- us Hart said. Well rule. Again I hope so Jack. How many people were really ought to trust you I'm thinking of oh I don't know senator -- I'm thinking of senator -- some I'm thinking of speaker the Macy am thinking of speaker felon Finneran I'm thinking of speaker for charity.

" I always played -- No I don't well what you did -- bet shut it -- like he'd take an -- and now what we're gonna call Kennedy. Lot of Mulligan those all the -- against it -- it out. I --"
" If you you know another another -- the telling point about this whole. This facade and this whole charade. Is that when the globe broke the story they were handed off the story because they're the the Kennedy family organ. They didn't even mention. That Ted Kennedy had had had. In June neared the original changing of the law. They forgot right. It took The Wall Street Journal to point that out in the next that'd be that that morning debate they found out even before we did at that Harold."
" Yesterday Larry at one and a late night ticket candidate."
" Take care okay thanks for the call Joe one makes it one in the lake. Who. I don't even though -- who he was -- was treading close to another call issue with Ted Kennedy wasn't it. Steve your next with how -- cargo ahead staved."
" There are always try to picture this scenario. Their health care bill was before the Senate. They're missing one little vote this senator for Massachusetts. Stands up. And cast the deciding vote in favor which makes the former senator immortal because even in death. He has the power. To change legislation. To screw the country. Although if you -- opinions I think that made him one of financial legislatures. Legislate horrors."
" Yeah but -- Steve but -- gonna happen I mean there's our there's already a handful of Democrats that have said that they're not gonna vote for this thing I mean it's mind it. This is you know even the Democrats were saying that in the floor debate today. There's nothing gonna happen you know the the Democrats were for at you know guys like O Leary from Cape Cod there we're talking about. Well there's transportation. Funding I mean that's not even -- not even the dim bulb. Democrats stuff five watt bulbs who were promoting this were -- saying that the health care legislation was on the line here. I mean this is just that this is just a I think this is more for card -- Steve. They wanna I wanna destroy the secret ballot in union elections that's always a good idea to doorway with a secret ballot don't you think."
" How Ali you also thought that they -- These in the Massachusetts legislature would never changed a lot again and it turned out."
" You were wrong all I absolutely was wrong I did you know I've admitted that Steve I I you know what did you know why I thought that they wouldn't change it because what's in this for them. This this is like -- waving a red flag in front of the voters again and and win and why."
" I don't think so because the voters aren't so upset about it maybe your listeners are. But by -- sixty or 70% of the voters who really don't care but I can see a dramatic. Turn. In the US senate."
" Yeah UT agreements the incredible victory for Obama team dreaming -- way to assure us the wrong Steve."
" Cecile -- 18 session 746943. To do it what does it up till now up 56%. Our post. Good health care plan the more Barack Obama pox. The higher the un favorability numbers go up for him and the health care legislation. 18774694322. Rich you're next with how we cargo ahead rich."
" I have good -- the words right out of line up on things that form and fitness every building an apology that was until. Anyway. Hey I think we all. -- Says I think if you had -- Jones -- a few months ago I mean I -- you get out of things going on. -- a little -- database but I think it was thought about it on out I mean I did everything on my part I'm sure you did individually back."
" We we have people on last week they said it was close rich -- yeah I told the hall all weekend I told them the call and say and do what they could. You know and again I'll -- eleven not out of the 35 Democrats switched their votes."
" I know but at the beginning when they weren't sure what the public reaction was going to be it was like a slam dunk wasn't gonna happen and -- that they could tell. Had they kept their toes in the water over those few weeks that's when it turned it was like a violent bank. You know it's and it because we let it go. We fumbled meant Karachi resigned wanna talk about resignations and allegations president heap fumbled part we all day."
" Well I -- I don't know you don't you can't tell. You can't you can't spend. Every moment of every day banging away on one issue. You know I mean that's just say that's the reality of an Emmy people most people one of the pogrom wanna talk about health -- we're talking about this today because it it it passed today. The they were they really put the heat on -- the real I didn't think -- pass again is because. I did I don't see anything for the legislature here what what. What is Buchwald for their wed the quid pro quo we what do what do they get out of this other than a headache. Other than being blasted on talk radio. We should closely we should post roll call vote just like we did for the house. Thanks for the call rich 18774694322. Pam your next with how we cargo ahead --"
" I have -- that Martha Coakley didn't she prosecute that while back. It -- Oakley -- order what are."
" always Woodward -- did she basically get off."
" Issue when it at the time that I think. And on another note my husband from the far left -- this morning that -- and Colorado I have yeah -- not bitter recount gore."

" Three houses and has decided on Boston's talks -- you -- AM six AB WR --"
" 187. 469 for a breakthrough."
" To. Give Deval Patrick. Right that it took away five years ago from Mitt Romney to appoint an interim senator. Of course the difference is that it's Mitt Romney was a Republican a year ago he didn't deserve to have the right to appoint an interim senator Deval Patrick is it Democrats so they gonna be an -- appoint a rubber stamp. 1877469432. To joining us on the line now is senator Scott Brown he's there were one of the Republican candidates for the -- seat. Scott Scott what happened -- you know I predicted that the legislature was not going to do this what am I think. And it a lot of people thought they weren't gonna make the move what happened."
" Well -- credits and then they usually happens -- which is you know -- the strong arming the calls from Washington it. So the pressure from you know the leaders the ultimately got what they want to -- that this is the very instinct thing. There is no. In order to get this done. And have it be effective immediately -- and this is very critical for you and your listeners they needed two thirds. Vote. By both branches to have an emergency preamble to have -- go into effect immediately they don't have that right now."
" All that's great fear they don't have bad -- together sixteen people just voted against that right."
" That's correct and they need to obviously."
" We need to keep Cellini to flipped three or four votes."
" The then both chambers those who is going to be very difficult and to do so and both chambers so. That's part of the -- of the big challenge right now for the governor and I'm not sure what kind of shenanigans. They're going to to do that you know we get an election it's nonpartisan and and doesn't serve you know the interest of anyone party. And we don't need robbers tampers going down there so it's I would encourage you and -- listeners to call these senators and reps and the ones that. Actually voted with us that -- for good government you know -- on the state for state -- that you're gonna supporter because they took a tough vote. On the others you know you Syverson if you if you fit -- if you flip on the alternative and we're gonna work against you it is that this is a critical time right now. Is is giving him the ability to have them in effect immediately."
" So what -- saying is we need to grow up post the roll call votes and the end and that's so people could see the eleven state senators and democratic state senators who voted. Against the legislation and see if they for the thing gonna flip their votes and try to keep from because if you if you keep the sixteen votes than you can stop as."
" That's correct then that we're gonna affect and Jordan in ninety days I think it's so it would it would certainly I think achieve whatever once which is."
" You have a roll call vote Friday by the way I don't I don't however we can certainly irrigated overture you yeah I just wondered who the Democrats are okay heart I know that I can see blue or."
" mpeg Angie brewer. -- yeah. Let me see here look so Baltimore's. Yeah and that you had to. Both Russia but to reject you know and we'll both -- so -- the door."
" Yeah Steve but door for -- won the out here."
" And that's sex -- there -- five more -- about Syria we have civil case okay Timothy blood got it just think they're Republican leaning this."
" Yet they've that we had a whole host of amber we'll get you over that list and and you know people can call -- and thank them. So for the -- as it was it was a tough vote they wanna went against their leadership so."
" If you want Terry Murray didn't release it wasn't that really hot to trot on that's."
" Well it puts you know after we've been doing the good government stuff for the last year this is you know obviously I think which is. There's just a couple of steps back in terms of the good government thing in this clear wedded to what they need the sixty vote filibuster to. Pass you know obviously health care reform and which would mean higher tax."
" Still a long shot those Scott. Well you know longshot."
" and they'll they'll they'll count the votes and on the cap and trade which could cost energy wise an average -- another 1700 dollars a year and -- immigration reform. They'll -- the amnesty for illegal aliens and there's a whole host of things that are on the table that the try to ram down. Everybody's throat and you know we don't want somebody down there like Dukakis too good to rubber stamp things that need to be good for Massachusetts."
" Yes so would it what are they gonna have a hold on the emergency -- tomorrow that's tomorrow all right Mario so we're gonna has so how -- the vote in this so in the east. In the house. They had what 5858. PM 08 votes you know so it's very close in the house they only need to flip four or five."
" That's close and both chambers eventually close and both chambers and -- if people stand firm then you know good government will prevail and to business as usual in a long so this is a critical time you another vote today it was a very very important bishops vote tomorrow. There's even more important because if we didn't. If we didn't do the emergency preamble then gosh by the time they get everything squared away it would be. You know only a couple weeks later in excess senator Tucker and senator Joyce and senator Flanagan were also on the right side of this."
" Tucker Joyce Flanagan okay so that's where 12345678910. We go one more. We got the two more as we go."
" We have sixteen there was sixteen total."
" Right so there okay so they were there were eleven works is there's eleven Democrats is the five Republicans -- there's P&G bulwark. Hart. Both wars but door to multi Tucker Joyce and Flanagan. One -- we got one who does he can get brewers the last one cup odds I -- yeah."
" Well I know -- is that. If it was a it was a shame to take this away if there's any you know whoever won the primary is over whoever's in that position assays to packet servers somebody else that they put in there. They're gonna use that as a bully pulpit to reach out and try and influence the selection for that Democrat who's who's won the primary and now they go gosh I love. I love my -- my third urged her -- Stephen they're great and -- you know I love them and they're gonna do wonderful here -- It chatter chatter is so they're gonna use this as a bully pulpit almost like an all so like Kim can't campaign -- sort of final one I was Morrissey."
" Well Mike Morrissey from Wendy -- REIT. Okay so that those those those are the ones so with five if you know any of these if you know what -- of these eleven Democrats in the -- in the Senate. Call up today in -- to what took two while vote against the attaching an emergency preamble. So if that's three let's see I'm just thinking three months that'll take it right to was at the basically the Christmas -- if."
" It's over it Serbia -- waste of a waste of taxpayer money waste of everybody's time and let's make it come into effect after the election mr. Wright is the first time in fifty years that the citizens have. An absolute opportunity to have an open and clean election let let the chips fall they Mayweather beats me you're or whether it be you know some of the Democrats. It doesn't matter release of citizens know whoever goes down there will be have their full support."
" Okay Scott Brown we appreciate -- being with us here -- don't try to keep we'll try to keep them honest here I don't know what what the odds of keep them -- 1877469432. -- so they do what Scott said as. They they've they the it's been passed in in effect bot. Normally a bill doesn't go doesn't become law for three months. Unless to a patch what's called an emergency preamble you have -- another vote by the legislature -- two thirds vote. To attach an emergency preamble. The legislation. So there right now they're they've got about 44 there about four votes short in the house. Of having two thirds. I -- based on the of the votes in the out last week's. To pass the bill I think was 95 to 58. It's really need to peel away for five votes in the house and -- peel away 83 votes in the Senate three Democrat votes. So the -- to the Democrats you have to try to keep honest in the Senate are up. Penn Jillette tacos from what -- work from Worcester County from very. Heart from south leave the mores. But door from a -- one tell multi from the south the South Shore area at can't Norwood I guess. Tucker soon talker from high end over. Joyce for Mel opened Flanagan on another one for mom -- northern Worcester county and Mike Morrissey from Quincy they all voted the right way today. Now they got it now just to let him though you wanna devote the right way yet tomorrow on the emergency preamble and there's two released this too many were democratic reps -- list. There's they that was what it was 42 democratic -- so it's gonna be hard to hold a line in the house now for you guys can. You'll you'll lose four or five out of 42 that's it's could be easier to peel away that these these guys in the senator more more visible. So those little ones I think the concentrate on 18774694322. John your -- with Howie -- go ahead John."
" I know where to go and good. Bob how are not be cynical but I think -- you're gonna see these people's work."
" Probably but you know again I had released let's put them on the spot."
" Well I agree -- I think what bothers me is the Obama administration has aggressively. Inserted itself opens in York state politics. In influencing our legislators. To ought to get this."
" There aren't they what do what do John alluded to on the same thing in New York State they're trying to give Paterson the bombs rush out office -- yesterday Pataki the former Republican governor said. Hey Obama won a chip but out. You know. They they did this is -- this is not usually done by presidents of either party -- you know interfering in the in state wide elections."
