[0:00]" The democratic convention the -- is soon to get under way in Denver will Barack Obama announced his choice of running mate before. The opening gavel falls on joining us this morning at WBZ from the government insight group here in Boston democratic strategist. And the political -- Michael Goldman what do you think would you will who wait until the convention starts. As for example George Bush the first did when he surprised everybody with. Dan Quayle that -- in New Orleans or would you make the announcement now."
[0:30]" Well I'm what do these people who believes that in the and vice president don't make much difference despite what the polls say I certainly in nineteen the it was -- vote to -- campaign. The weak side being Quayle was the best that ever happened to the campaign. And of course in the end nobody voted for against either candidate Clinton the vice president. Having said that this cycle interest in because the subtly different potential. Strategies around the vice president -- choice whether. I had to choose someone to insider to give him gravitas in Washington to choose government is totally outside to keep the idea or the outside ago -- So for four for Barack Obama a question of timing. The convention seems to be. The right decision the biggest question is is which direction to go in as a candidate what what the Mets to one facility about presidential choice."
[1:23]" What is it -- ties during an international crisis like the Russian incursion into Georgia."
[1:28]" That seems to be polluted today but. Next week that could be caught and I think I'm one -- it would move -- before that I believe that the best thing that he could do would be to -- assembly with no Washington experience the general. My first choice was was the of Eugenia. Sedated at Webb and NBC he pulled himself out of it but that kind of president would live to Washington experience. If the idea is could be digitally changed the place. -- Joe Biden candidacy. Sort of sort of has captured two would have to that on the other hand Biden brings a lot to the table and most importantly. The ability in a vice presidential debate to be a very very strong. -- debater so. Again as as these things go this don't really interest thing placed from abroad to be is again do you take a real risk Indians having totally counter intuitive. And and choose somebody. Who is for triple -- from the lake lake senator hagel Republican. I mean that would be wildly than usual. So all of these things could be in Brooklyn right now on the Obama camp."
[2:35]" As far as people not voting for a ticket because of the vice president there is unprecedented that has happened for example 1960. JFK was able to carry Texas because LBJ. Was on the ticket could -- governor -- of Virginia. For example help to delivered that he stayed in that is one of the four tossup states that are going to be necessary to win two of Barack Obama. "
[2:55]" Well it's a very good point but it is 48 years. Since that happened and you have to go 48 years before that -- another vice president that made it different that this could be the country -- this year. This cable and I don't think he brings as much as. As as. Senator Webb did. All -- the former governor of Virginia but he could be a good choice. Do we -- before that this -- it is the it is. Very clear despite what the national polls say. That Barack Obama is on the cost of putting this right there. Six or seven open states that he needs to would only one or -- So maybe stealing a Virginia with the candidacy of McCain could make a difference of one of those two states. The other hand. Lead the that would of Coca rests with decade with a really well on the table. So this vice president -- it means blessed because -- couple -- places to win."
[3:46]" And as far as Senator Clinton goes no way no --"
[3:50]" Not in our lifetime. Neither campaign. I think we'll get that and I think -- out both campaigns realize. But it's it's a lose of for both of them to go to this position cheeks. Few scattered day at the convention if he -- to feel on this. Is quest for the presidency should be position before year's but a woman and a black. Very very tough for Americans to. To take two very counted two of the candidates I would just say think it was reversed by the way she with a nominee she could take broke open."
[4:17]" OK so his enemies know what happens civilians -- would you agenda Alitalia."
[4:21]" Well you know candidates particularly those sickle attacked but it is that the kind of counterintuitive I would say no I would say that that would need to get this system with a really strong nonpolitical military background from the strong national defense. And policy it'll be buried it's just you know watch and that's an extra politics -- interest."
[4:40]" You know before the city of New York was -- of these of these three -- money guys. Who would be playing cards and and relieve -- of their money in times square this with these ticks are little bit like that aren't they lead you never know world what's going to be under the cup."
[4:55]" And again you put -- up perfectly earlier it -- neighbor it will come down to what is the political involvement is. The Church crisis has gotten worse and the perception is is that she needs company with. With seven Washington insider experience in my very will be the thing that's going to make. Joe Biden who really wasn't being considered a week ago the -- candidates so it's fascinating to watch."
[5:15]" Michael Goldman of government insight group with the desire on the the democratic second spot force here on WBZ thanks Michael --"
