Ryan commented on Greater Boston on 05.10.11
I strongly echo the comments about Hollys crassness and the "loser" comment but even more infuriating is that she thinks that a state rep who represents 40,000 people and is only a legislator amongst 160 others is a higher office than the Chief Executive of the City of Newton which has 85,000 people...I dare to say running the City of Newton is a much bigger job than being a State Senator which is the one that Scott Brown had before his current US Senate job...so in addition to her unprofessionalism she doesnt even get politics or government to boot!

I certainly hope that you will find a new republican strategist for future shows. Holly Robichaud was infuriating, particularly with the "Loser" comment at the end. Greater Boston is above this type of rhetoric. .....AP Quincy
Diane commented on Greater Boston on 05.10.11
I usually find the "input" of political consultants on your show rather tedious. But surely you can do better for Republic consultants than the aggressively blathering Holly Robichaud. She was downright painful, and an insult to even semiintelligence. Always a relief to have Adam Reilly there, though.
Newton Mayor Setti Warren thinks he can unseat Sen. Scott Brown and some analysts think he's right. Is it bad news for Brown, or a political gamble for Warren? WGBH political reporter Adam Reilly, Republican consultant Holly Robichaud, and Democratic consultant Scott Ferson join Emily.
