that's how we got scott brown in the first place in blue state massachusetts. but in this special election, the republican candidate so far has not done all that great a job making his case for himself. his name is gabriel gomez, he's an ex-navy s.e.a.l., he's a private equity guy. the democrat in the race, markey, long-time congressman. he's attacked markey for being in congress too long and once called ed markey pond scum, but it was not all that clear way why. because mr. gomez is not all that clear of a talker, they've ran ads that are uninterrupted clips of gabriel gomez trying to explain himself, like this one. >> did you release warrior clients so the public knows who you worked with and what kind of investments you made and dealt with? >> ad international is a private organization. i have to discuss it with them and leave it up to them. >> did you ask them to release the name of the clients? >> i resigned two weeks ago. >> i asked last time if you disclosed your client list from the private equity days, you said you didn't know if they'd allow you to as

ahead of the safety of the people of massachusetts. and that's also the reason that you didn't vote for the 9/11 resolution. you put party and politics ahead of what's right for the people of massachusetts. and that's why i'm running because i think this election's about the future, not the past. i think it's about new and fresh ideas, not old and stale, and more importantly we need to put the people -- >> equal time and then we're moving on. let him in, please. >> our country's much better tan his politics. >> and by the way, by the way, my position ultimately prevailed. i voted no, i thought that news workers, these first responders should not be stripped of their right to negotiate, and ultimately, that provision was taken out even though mr. gomez supported it, and that is now the law. we have a department of homeland security, but these workers are given the respect which they need. when they rush into the world trade center, when they're rushing towards these victims on boyleston street, no one checks to see if they're union or n

some people say this common core that massachusetts is going to it, it's going to water down massachusetts standards? >> i don't think that. this evidence is contrary to that. massachusetts did have high standards. unfortunately most of our states did not. if massachusetts thought its standards were higher they should have stayed with their standards. they actually did some independent evaluation. they brought in a team of teachers to analyze their standards against the common core. they were highly credible teachers. they concluded that common core, and done her of who is is a guy that created core knowledge on the standards kit for the last 30 years while progressives have watered down standards. he himself said these standards are top of the line. that doesn't mean it can't be improved. i think by and large they are going to move the needle forward. >> paul: i think some of the people worry, it's going to be captured by political interests, particularly most powerful in education and then watered down? >> i think it's the reverse. i think it's watered down at the state levels. i think m
