fifty percent of the vote what's your feeling on this and what does this do for massachusetts oh yeah like i said before massachusetts is voting for a fresh face we have a fresh face in office i think there will be changes with deval is administration i think we're hopefully make a better call mention one point zero one party politics that's what i'm actually afraid of because now they're going to go with the governor restrooms being a democrat and the state legislature being democratic we don't dominate and we're going to have all lost out that's what i'm afraid of most well i really i think that like we said you know last week show massachusetts needs change and this this was a big change i mean what was a huge margin a win for deval patrick first black african american governor to run massachusetts i in the state house you have all the state senate state representatives and this off this election swung that representatives and state senate seats there are only five republican state senators in this state house behind me is that a that's what they tend to do but i think they're changing and what the public wants i think is going to see happen i think we'll have to see the tax is going to be a very important issue to see what deval patrick does he says he's not going to lower than come back we'll see if the pressure from the public ends up lower what you guys think it was the only one that might remind the budget and if we do see some change on taxes i think it's on it's going to come towards the end of his term if it does come at all because another point is massachusetts ready for an african american governor i know all of the i know the people voted them in but are they read in office because you know the well i'm all for the love of people but the will of the people is not always the right one you know also if you have been known to promise people that he will give them money and then those all those promises he made go out the window and he's going to start doing what he really thinks he's going to do and none of the policies are going to get that well i'm thing i worry about that's one thing that happened with mitt romney that happens a lot in you know you see that with the present the united states now i think it's very scary lives in hungary actually they it was a very they demonstrated quite well to the world what a real democracy is because when the when the sauteed general state of all their prime minister saying he lied about the election they went out into the streets and demonstrated the citizens of massachusetts came out and voted wow that is a huge number why the change i feel most of those people voted as you said as we've seen with the results most of the people vote in front of all and deval having a politically active also guys let's move away from massachusetts government will move come back to it later but let's talk about national news this election was huge not for just massachusetts but also the nation of very close races we saw in virginia the senate came down to virginia we have for genia tipped the balance and democrats won democrats now control both parties in the congress the house and the senate they want to they took over the house by a large margin and because if you look at if you look at the candidates closely democrat the democratic candidates often resembled very closely there is this their republican opponents and i don't know it's it is a change it's a gradual change it's a change in the way to action but i don't know i don't feel that is it is such a dramatic change as people think as people think it is almost might work quite well in two thousand and eight unless the republican way the majority is swinging right now this is going to be like this for a while i assume so but i feel yes and you mentioned the war in iraq right after i feel that our as we stand now our political system isn't that divided between democrats and republicans they they do work together to a large extent which is surprising as  parties to work together i feel they will continue work together and in the future and live with the executive office know that it no matter the party i prefer when the political situation falls when the parties are forced to work together as we are now the president and governor republicans and their staunch republicans and vv other side legislative branch is democratic so there's going to be some she had to be who they're going to be some problems for the president the congress and passing various bills and that's good they're president will do is they will not go out into a later time or jumping the gun but sorry all it won't do together that's why i'm saying that the first thing that congress will do is find the very fine issues that they both agree on for instance congress this congress and senate will change surprising you know it looked into the night when i was up till twelve o'clock and i watching this countdown and it looks like the republicans will hold on to that sensi you know what it is senate and congress first know wage will be passed in january because of them the congress majority and i feel that bush's proposal to have private private united states tries to improve its image overseas will it do anything now while bush is still in power well i don't know if i don't feel congress has a lot of power over image overseas because the executive branch bush is and we have we have democrats and in congress who are largely voted in because of their opposition to the war the deal issues and issues like that we will governor elect of all patrick in the great fashion and you have the democrats taking over in the congress another big issue that played out because of these other events was secretary of defense donald rumsfeld has had so was one of the biggest bullies on capitol hill if there were no more no less than eight which generals calling for his resignation you know the cabinet of defense absolutely hated the guy i mean we have to be careful about his transparency and his his interaction with congress because cia tends to be a very exacting organization which answers the president and they tend to operate through history they have operating in rather sor what changes need to be made in iraq i think this is a very key point i'm talking about gates that we need to bring up gates wants change in iraq he wouldn't be on this panel if he didn't want to and gates is very old school guy he was in the gulf he was involved in the gulf war with george bush's father that's a big point because they won that war they clearly won that war and you know he wore a different title or yeah but he can he knows that he knows the land out there he knows how this works and i really think he's going to be stern with his points and you the end for iraq and as much as bush they said needed i mean bush doesn't want to be the president to pull troops out of iraq without really does he would have you know george bush has already place on november seventh on george bush came out to make a profit on friends about donald rumsfeld's future he said rumsfeld pretty much saying my rumsfeld my man for the next two years he's done a great job for me he's done and we stayed the course doing i thought he's done exactly what i want do and you know if things look all good and all good and happy between rounds from president bush i guess that was a little bit of a wrong statement by bush because you know the day after democrats take power there he's out of here you know to the point that i don't know if you guys know is he said after he had named gates that he knew he was going to make this move before the election started he said he knew that he was going to take rumsfeld out before the election happened so if he knew that is that push like we know is a politician like every other politician he was going to say he's going to try to say what the citizens of the united states want to hear so you know he said no he's not leaving then he leaves yes the covered up a things fall where they are take it from there what do you think george do anything about the new round don rumsfeld out in and out and bill gates it is not a good move for the country there's always a risk involved in change  i think the way that the current administration is going is probably for the best that we made that change when we did my great thanks a lot for your comments and we really with mary mary how do you think the elections turned out in massachusetts i'm very happy about the election turnout i mean it was very surprising that so many people turned out to the polls why do you think so many people turned out to vote this time take a lot of people who are very upset with the way things are going but in the state  appreciate coming on the show so guys we just saw the opinions of some people so this is amounts to just i seem to like them to like the feeling of the new feel in the air of after the elections with the democrats in power they seem they like that on the field going to bring change and you guys agree i agree a change we'll just have to see what happens and it's a new day for massachusetts people like you must be good yeah you know it's all about the people i'm glad to see that they're happy with it that's why we've had such a large turnout so guys you know very good  the huge change of power we see democrats take over all around the country all or all in a lot of different states guys let's just discuss for a minute i know it's two years away oh wait predictions for president who is going to run who do you want he's a republican which means if they were going to call her stands she will be told me to be any with them and they will have the two party system back and also he's willing to work together with them he's not intransigent to the point of no return he's he's willing to compromise  happen but it would be a good choice so our guys one last let's comment on one last thing you know we saw we had four candidates running grace ross who is the green rainbow independent with christie miles and then you had the republican and democrats ron is it important for states and in the federal system to have candidates like green rainbow party run or should we just keep it to the independents and republicans or democrats there's issues and it brings it it brings the public into in so the political realm and i agree with you guys it's important but i mean i think that we should maybe take a look like at what israel does so  possibility to get these long under the skull under the radar parties to be able to be left up and maybe have a chance one of these days right now i don't think it's going to happen so we've heard a lot of so we've seen a lot of opinions on our show today right now we'll have to see what happens in the country we have the democrats controlling everything the state house and the congress so what happens when see what happens but that's currently speaking from the statehouse just remind everyone that all opinions you heard on the show today are our in massachusetts but that's currently speaking live from the state house good night
