[0:00]" All right let's pitcher -- on the record to talk about quick chat about last night's debate the last broadcast debate between Tom Menino Michael Flaherty. They were reading each other giving each others' grades Marion I'll start review different grades for each candidate would you."
[0:16]" I think the fact that Tom Menino -- a twenty point lead going into the -- and nothing happened in the debate that they had to change that. Give them and the today and against clarity. --"
[0:29]" About future. I think it was tough I think the globe headlined update sort of thumbs up clarity -- but they Iran saved. With 430 needs to do with the -- being in the voter base to get people excited to get people who don't. Usually vote out to vote that's the only way he can win that's why he's teamed up with -- June and that all other things. I don't know if he got a last night he he was certainly grasses he did a good job. But I don't know what he actually you know provided people talk about votes."
[1:00]" you talked about this before expanding the base and the election days to weeks from today is there any place to go all. For Michael's learning."
[1:08]" Now and that's the challenge in Menino has had everything thrown at them these last few weeks but he still has the twenty point lead. And we -- the twenty point lead with fourteen days ago. It is nearly impossible to think of a scenario that could get him to drop twenty points."
[1:24]" So."
[1:25]" If you can't get -- to -- twenty points. You have to pick up votes and I think Charlie had been known and an and we talked about the export putting you on the ticket didn't do it. And we intend I was skeptical to begin --"
[1:38]" So it's hard to see now despite the support from firefighters then and and some police officers and others. Where Flaherty is going to be able to get those votes."
[1:48]" Charlie did dumb is. Michael flirting make any inroads when he brought up the controversy over a deal those lost City Hall emails."
[1:56]" No I think he needs -- couldn't eat in broad scope when he talked about schools that he talked about jobs and he talked about services. Those that those are issues that people -- much more about than the city call emailed. In fact Flaherty had a problem to about excluding people from City Council meetings and records so. That's also available let. It would be good -- from -- years by neighborhood going to be safer are the schools where my kids -- going to be better. Are we gonna have some jobs that our neighborhood that's what voters really care about much more."
[2:30]" this as the toughest challenge Tom Menino is ever had a looks like he's on his way to an unprecedented fifth term. Does that mean he's the Teflon mayor."
[2:40]" Well he might be but that the practice that has been a tough -- for him and the fact is he's still twenty points up and I think the poll really showed. The one of the big reasons -- people he's well known by people the majority of people opponent -- And they like him and right now they see no reason to elect a new mayor and when you look at that and you look at the effect of Flaherty is not as well known and to Charlie point. Larry do you think -- spent too much time talking about process. And left about how he would change effects problems in Boston and at the end of the day people look at the choice they have and they clearly like -- better."
[3:15]" That's what the voters -- going to be looking at. He's the other person better than the one we have now we know we have now he's. He's been their for a long time we know what he does we know without the main areas is that other person that's running better than what they hope mean more. And I don't think my priorities -- decades yet."
[3:34]" Thank you to both of you appreciate it. Document probably in two weeks if not before."
