[0:00]" To the primaries and dom. Let me let me ask about this debate question the global looks at it today there was forum last night legal women voters out in Amherst. And Martha Coakley was a no show she says she had a previous commitment longstanding commitment. But the other candidates are calling for more debates and nothing's scheduled beyond that one televised it's already happened. What about that Marianne -- down Martha Coakley step up to the --"
[0:28]" She says I'm Anderson and what she's doing Martha Coakley the front runner and running like one by trying to run out the clock. And controlling her appearances to minimize the chance of losing that advantage. And then you have Kaplan -- you can KV clamoring for more attention more coverage and more debate to try to catch -- by December ninth but the pressure only -- increase -- And at the time of the enemy of everyone in the streets especially the other three and that's been true from the beginning it's true today."
[0:54]" That said I think voters in Massachusetts one another debate."
[0:58]" Who wins with another debate Charlie."
[1:01]" Well marketed by in the first debate and I heard from folks that with their chief said well glad that's over no more -- all be very surprised -- market anticipates -- anymore debates from what we've seen in the polls -- at the big lead. The other three candidates are kind of bunched together the three guys. And I don't actual debate again in much he's extremely. Pressured to."
[1:23]" All right let's move on to the weekend house vote in Washington on health care reform. It has a public option -- but it's appears dead on arrival if you believe the pundits and members of the US senate when he gets to the Senate floor. On -- what do you make of that."
[1:39]" You know as far as that let the past the -- house with only two votes despair that might have been the easy part. Passing health care reform in the -- will be much harder the bill will be much different and it may not even be this year."
[1:52]" well it's a Republican I should be glad that they have to -- everybody knows the last national poll last week showed the folks opposed to this approach. 54 to 42 with flashes Medicare. It may be the single worst piece of legislation passed in the last fifty years in Washington but it does make me -- the having -- arrogant leaders when the the voters oppose that when everybody knows it's so bad for our country to go down this road they rammed it through anyway. And I think the going to be paying up the price next year at the polls."
[2:26]" But the -- looks right now -- hairy -- is not scheduled floor debate yet. I think he knows the votes aren't there in fact he's actually admitting that there may not be health care reform this year --"
[2:38]" I think that's not true and I think Gregory as something else in -- with some of his senate colleagues in the Senate is up for reelection. And I think that's one of the big factors here. I'm especially in the Senate."
[2:49]" In a year or wait until Tuesday this past his it was a lot of incumbents down. I think you're gonna see that the Democrats and Republicans they're getting the message from voters. That if you're not fixing the problem you're part of the problem and health care -- the problem that they need to fix that I'm not sure they figured out how yet."
[3:05]" And Charlie. Any any last word on health care reform."
[3:10]" Well we hope. That it doesn't pass we hope that the folks in Washington don't blow up the greatest health care system in the world to ruin it the way this pollute the bill would. Again the people overwhelmingly oppose it it's gonna hurt seniors it's gonna hurt states like Massachusetts. We've seen what happened here in Massachusetts that the costs will explode through the roof but it they have with the health care plan here. It was a bad idea here it's a bad right here in Washington."
[3:37]" Hi guys I -- leave it right there and thank you very very much."
