democratic advantage was 7 percent. what we see, and obama won by 7 percent. what we see is the wall street journal polls are saying there are more democrats now than in 2008. so, the country gets worse and the democrats get better and obama s lead goes up. pat s right, the polls are skewed. and every poll is being skewed we believe in the democratic direction. it is irresponsible for news organization to run polls they know are this off and for the pollsters to allow them to be used because it creates an artificial momentum that affects the news, the donors. they have a responsibility to put polls up that pass the smell test. gregg: is there something nefarious going on? doug: i think it is just plain bias creeping in. let me take you to the white house. i can tell you, there is no way
developer steve wynn is teaming up with pat s owner to put in a casino across from the stadium. they promise a facility that fits with new england sensibility. nothing like vegas. a five-starry sort, appropriately sized and scale is an image very nice. reporter: they say the plan is a win, win, promising $10 million in tax revenue each year and tens of thousands of jobs. at a town meeting last week residents were already taking sides. i think it would be good as long as it s done right. they put it in, they pay the property taxes, because right now a lot of people in foxboro are unemployed. we need to tell mr. craft and mr. wynn that this is not right for our community. reporter: the town manager believes the stakes are just too high. what i m watching is the
that to us but that day we had some type of respite from the feeling and were here to embrace america and to affirm america and to thank our wonderful military and our president for being able. bill: remember your son, too. who was considered a bit of a ladies man, i understand. you described him as a babe magnet, because ten of his girlfriends went to his funeral at st. pat s? martha: unfortunately, i was very new to speaking to the media, in the early days, and i spoke to this family who wrote the portraits of grief book and spoke to her and didn t realize everything i said would go in the portraits of grief book and the newspapers, but, you know, his friends and the younger people, loved it. the older relatives were not too happy, but he was a babe-magnet but respected women, he loved women and, he was the type of person that we need more people like that in the world.
consequences. i don t believe it. i think if we call the president s bluff, send him something over this weekend and he maybe pat, the president is maybe the president called your bluff fz. exactly. i love this time, pat. yeah, pat s got it backwards as usual. he called the republicans bluff. you know, the president has shown wait a minute, it s my turn now. i believe that as a democrat what president was willing to do was a a bad deal for the democrats. it cut social security. cut medicare. there were no tax revenues right away until 2013. i didn t like that deal. but the fact the president showed he was to go that last mile to get an agreement. let me ask you at the white house, do you think the president is prepared to shut the government down if he has to. well his tone this evening
