[0:00]" This is Lisa Meyer in the WBZ user we're talking with political science professor Jeff -- at Tufts University. About the way that the Senate race is now shaping up let's talk about Joe Kennedy for surprise that he's not immigrants."
[0:12]" Complete surprise to the left politics -- some years back and and slammed the door and communicated very clearly that he didn't enjoy trio like from. His wife and Washington and to his role as a congressman. And it seems to be much happier in working known -- nonprofit."
[0:31]" So what does that do to live race right now I -- it conceivably could we have. A bunch of members of the congressional delegation in the racer do you think it's likely -- which Jesse want."
[0:42]" I think if I could organist seem more than one street from which is already signaled but he can and we have. Congressman Markey -- auto congressman Tierney all. Testing the waters sell -- like release one of them well. -- and -- former. Congressman Marty Meehan is to connect -- seriously."
[1:01]" What do you think the chances are -- going to."
[1:04]" Meehan we just four point nine million dollars it is federal a congressional you know. And to. My Fox's if not -- Howell wept. Mr. sentencing -- come up very often and so this is really wants lifetime opportunity -- It is very awkward for him to walk away from the presidency in -- it will electorally a couple of years is clearly not completed the job there."
[1:29]" If in fact you wind up with on well let's just hypothetically say Steve lynch in the race and maybe might -- the guano and maybe Marty Meehan. -- campaign against each other because they were brother closely together that they."
[1:42]" Don't think that this will be vicious racist words each of them tries to kick down the other they're really very. Little in the way of ideological daylight between them either its exceptional lectures more. More moderate. So I think we're all going to. Campaign on. Pushing the Obama agenda pushing health care and joined fidelity to the -- legacy."
[2:04]" You know it when you think about it in terms of policy these folks and also Martha Coakley there it. How do you tell apart you really don't."
[2:14]" You don't and I think big factor here is name recognition rather than the aperture each of the candidates who's known and Martha Coakley is the best known of the contenders possible contenders such stars with a -- lead. Downside for her is that as a statewide officeholders doesn't have -- several campaign account and no kitty. Leftover campaign which advocates for all the other democratic congressman."
[2:40]" Now you said that you think that this is going to be a fairly tame race. It and and."
[2:45]" It's estimated. That the but I don't think it's going to be a vicious race were there's a lot of negative campaign against each other."
[2:52]" Do you think it's going to be an expensive race."
[2:54]" I know that it's going to be an expensive race because the only way you improve your name recognition has to advertise. So it's going to be very expensive."
[3:02]" Anything up to one that could you be answered my questions."
[3:05]" Well I think what they -- things in this race is that Martha Coakley the only woman in the race and to develop over. Recent years have an infrastructure of women democratic activists who. Have. Pledged themselves informal ways to help raise money for democratic government and helped get them elected. So she's going to profit from that. You know very literal sense which also remember that -- and Obama faced a heroic Clinton and democratic primary in 2008 Hillary Clinton easily be. Drop bombs -- pictures -- very strong feminist presidents' presence in the Democratic Party. "
