Title: Menino wins record 5th term as Boston mayor

" Asked this morning political reporter Alison King joins us -- a closer look at Mayor Menino is when you're out late last night yes so thanks for getting up for me. Oh very nice of you. So the final analysis what it and did it for them there -- I think it was a combination of things that after sixteen years in office the mayor has been everywhere and he's been everywhere several times. He's met. So many people in fact one globe poll showed he'd met more. Than 50% of city residents and his term and that's that's remarkable he's been popular you know he clearly loves his job he's never aspired to higher office how -- can you say that four in Boston politics and he's kind of plugged along and never looked to -- And and this is big no major scandals -- he's never had any headline grabbing scandal now the closest thing it is email controversy. I've got an aide who deleted emails from his computer. Even that didn't have the sticking power that and that Michael clarity certainly wanted it to -- finally lastly you know even his opponent Michael clarity. So he's been on good Medicare. You know so no one argues he's a hard worker put this all together no major driving force to question out of office."

" likable personal those people who of that obviously it is like. You know your your average neighbor Iran and then you say I think he's and I got people like that he says the council I don't speak well I don't know what they're gonna. Smart but I get the job done and I'm driven. -- so despite the big wind Michael thirty did come closer to being -- than any of Menino has passed challengers. Particularly on it issues like education. And and it didn't make -- a good case here Allison that the mayor is indeed Vollmer."

" You know he did make some great points to his credit they're out you know several when it's a year really long term. Of running against the merit but the Menino administration is not as high tech is it probably would could should be made you'll see that ramp up. You know Menino does have a reputation as a running city development and an honor that I've certainly heard it on the campaign trail talk to people -- and I say this publicly. But this is what happens when I tried to do XY or Z with the mayor's office -- you got out there. And finally the education piece. The mayor did come in and say judge me harshly on education and here we are sixteen years later. And the Boston city public schools are still not where there's where they and many people -- as they should be there still so many young families moving out. I think you're gonna see him working on all of us -- on in the coming months and years what's his big priority got a big schools. Well you know because he's -- going to work today showing up in his office and I think the schools certainly are are at the top analysts is always happen for enemies he's out there in the schools all the time but here's the Q -- financial crisis. This is gonna be job one for him going you know forward in the months ahead in tackling I can't do any thing. I -- got that's also I think you know that's what we're gonna see him focused on certainly that's here."

" And I heard someone ask him last night would you rather get it for years and he says I can't just why. It's finally able to sort of backed the panel and and enjoy the moment and was joking with -- but there -- political reporter Alison King thank you can't."
