[1:58]" I think they act and I'm -- you have to really questioned whether we have a separation of church and state. When you look at the pattern of the Catholic Church recently. We had cardinal O'Malley lobbying President Obama on the altar of the church. Where Ted Kennedy's funeral mass had just ended on health care unit bishops across this country. -- launching a full fledged lobbying campaign on health care reform with inserts in church bulletins. All kinds of things so I think you have to ask the questions do we have the separation of church and state anymore and a and it doesn't appear that way you can't have it both ways. And the reason we know the Kennedys is because when Jack Kennedy was elected president as the first Catholic president and only Catholic president of country. He promised voters. That he would not allow his religion to would dictate how he govern this country. That's what it was successful now we have more often than not especially the Catholic Church. Did you really blurring don't mind -- that you can't have it both ways I think the Catholic Church is trying to."

[2:59]" let -- move on to something perhaps a little less explosive. As people I enjoy their there'll -- this morning and that is the the latest poll taken by the University of New Hampshire for the global. For the people who were running to replace Ted Kennedy in the US senate. Far and away the leader is as Martha Coakley. The attorney general -- but a big chunk of the expected electorate say they really made up their mind yet."

[3:24]" That's right and I and it it's been insisting the poll has said throughout that Martha Coakley had about a twenty point plus lead throughout this race. What we don't know with what the turnout going to be in an unprecedented December 8 primary for US senate -- So I think that's the big question mark here -- who's gonna turn out how many people are gonna turn out. And right now you have to say the bigger the turnout the better for Martha Coakley but no one knows how many Pippen and return on December -- included in the folks who were in his campaign."

[3:52]" Charlie this morning's Boston Globe has a story about then Middlesex County district attorney assistant district attorney Martha Coakley is. Decision to seek a plea deal with eight since defrocked and has maverick now murdered there priest the John -- When she first prosecuted him for. And his allegedly touching inappropriately. Three boys in Waltham family she made a probation deal. Four father gate and at the time machine later on would. Prosecute and convict him. In another sexual KC course being one of the poster boys for the the church abuses. The globe brings this up now there are some critics who say that she should of pushed harder earlier maybe. More children should've. Come forward may -- should maybe she would force the church to open up its files. That's obviously controversial issue that's the church's trying to nurse itself over included two by Martha Coakley. "

[4:49]" Well to really explosive story about Martha Coakley in the globe today I'll leave it up to everyone to take a look at it read it for themselves and decide I think with the poll showed B is that. Although Coakley is clearly the front runner and has been over 40% of the vote all long. There's that definite second place person now congressman Mike kept -- 10 has come from single digits up to 22%. And it speaks sort of anti Coakley -- the folks who are looking for someone else. Wanna bring their vote to someone who may be at the chance to -- he could be the perfect so although he's in second place. I don't think that was really bad news for my -- state could come down now to a two person race and that's much harder than a four person -- from mark."

[5:53]" 88 you don't want that story. And the front page of the -- Martha Coakley. "
