Play from 0:00[0:00]" The movie a number of years ago with -- Billy Crystal and has said forget Paris. Well these days politically -- yet. We're joined this morning at WBZ by ABC news political analyst Tori Clarke and that was a romantic comedy. This is just a comedy all bold. It seems to be paying some dividends for John McCain his likening of Barack Obama to so Libya -- like Paris Hilton and her record -- YouTube presidential campaign commercial for herself --"

Play from 0:28[0:28]" That -- actually two things and I'm struck eyewitness. One is that despite mixed reviews last week the the John McCain wants to Barack Obama likening him to Paris Hilton. Is definitely worked McCain's favor. And two -- more impressive personal every day that people find opportunities and she keeps herself from the public he just kept applicant a grudging measure of respect for."

Play from 0:50[0:50]" you know the use of the weather intended in advance or -- of celebrities. Some of them considered vapid unfairly so it turns on by politicians especially Republicans is nothing new I remember standing. In a New Hampshire school room years ago. Window then just actor now governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Came in during a George Bush the first campaign and get a big round of applause. Then the the sitting vice president of the United States cut and I've also remember window the rock appeared. With the Republican candidate at the convention. In in Philadelphia. How does John McCain leverage Paris Hilton."

Play from 1:30[1:30]" Well -- it every candidate arsenal and does something funny like this it's a reminder of the -- and carry out his immediate."

Play from 1:36[1:36]" Replay John McCain's -- in which Barack Obama is being compared to celebrities like personal and Brittany spears."

Play from 1:42[1:42]" And that's not something the Obama campaign -- obviously and your appointment Lebanese will play a role -- campaign probably more for Barack Obama. And John McCain as he goes on and he has to pick and choose very carefully which one can help which ones might hurt."

Play from 1:56[1:56]" Other matters -- although some polls show the race to be neck and neck at this stage in new CBS. New York Times poll just out still has a six point edge for Barack Obama what are we believe."

Play from 2:09[2:09]" I believe is probably somewhere in that five to -- point range at least for Barack Obama. And a lot of people including a lot of Democrats are privately worried that it should be much larger than that given all the trend."

Play from 2:21[2:21]" And I think if you want to look at do you see yourself this is going to make the ground who's got the best organization on the ground that much more important in this key states."

Play from 2:29[2:29]" Finally the handicapping the vice presidential choices which of the -- with the the the the people who were polled -- would make a difference on whom they would. A select for president. You go to shortlist for McCain."

Play from 2:42[2:42]" You know eight -- to continue to be the same ones he's seen Mitt Romney unity Tim Pawlenty."

Play from 2:48[2:48]" The Minnesota in of people would like controlled Mike Huckabee back on the list."

Play from 2:52[2:52]" I am I don't think they make a decision yet and I honestly don't know who the going to look -- today and slower since Obama. Obama even even tougher because every candidate that you look at whether to Evan Bayh is."

Play from 3:05[3:05]" Indiana or if you look at the Catholic population of candor you look at Hillary Clinton could you can never take --"

Play from 3:12[3:12]" They all have plans and they'll have to make this as well as a very tough to an abrupt about."
