Coakley And Husband Discuss Motivation During Long Campaign

WBUR's series of conversations with the Massachusetts gubernatorial candidates concludes Friday with a visit with the Democratic candidate.

WBUR's Bob Oakes sat down with Attorney General Martha Coakley and her husband, Tom O'Connor, at their home in Medford. They spoke just after a WBUR poll put Coakley just one point behind Baker, but a new Boston Globe poll shows Baker with a 9-point lead.

They invited Oakes to join them at a dining room table they say has not gotten much use in the past 14 months. Hear the full Morning Edition interview in the audio player above.
