State of the Race with Greg Lebel
Even with Mitt Romney’s victory in Florida, the Republican primary is showing no sign of stopping anytime soon. All four candidates are in it for the long-haul. This week, Greg Lebel, assistant professor of Political Management, joins us to recap what happened in Florida and explain what we can expect moving on to Nevada. He also looks beyond the primary to the general. Will the birth control mandate hurt Obama? Will grassroots responses to Republican state legislatures, like the recall effort in Wisconsin, be a factor this November? And what could happen that would be a game-changer in this election?
Occupy Faith DC
Since the era of Eisenhower, presidents have spoken at the annual National Prayer Breakfast. This year, however, members of the Occupy movement in DC set up their own event – the People’s Breakfast.
