Part 1

We begin with an assessment of whether Mitt Romney will be slowed or sullied in New Hampshire as Ron Paul makes gains on Romney’s substantial lead. Michael Lind, who has an article at Salon.com “Race, Liberty and Ron Paul”, joins us. |

Part 2
|
Then we look into strikes in oil-rich Nigeria over the removal of gas subsidies that have more than doubled the price of gasoline. Aniedi Okure, the Executive Director of Africa Faith and Justice Network, a community of advocates for responsible U.S. relations with Africe, joins us to discuss the government's rampant corruption and President Goodluck Jonathan's state of emergency with the Islamist militia Boko Harum. |

Part 3
|
Then finally Tom Ferguson joins us. He has an article at Alternet “The Devil and Rick Santorum: Dilemmas of a ‘Holy’ Owned Subsidiary” that makes the case that while Republican policies are stunningly oriented towards making the richest Americans richer, they have spent decades cultivating ordinary voters to focus on social wedge issues rather economic policies and are thus missing an opportunity in 2012 since the Democrats are vulnerable on the economy.
