We begin and go to the Democratic Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina and speak with Stanley Greenberg, the former pollster for Bill Clinton and co-author with James Carville of the new book “It’s The Middle Class Stupid”. We discuss what President Obama needs to do tonight and the memo that Stan Greenberg and James Carville wrote to President Obama, ”The Big Things That Obama Can Get Done at His Convention”.

Then we examine ways that President Obama might re-awaken the youth vote that put him over the top in 2008. Mike Lux, the co-founder and CEO of Progressive Strategies joins us. He was a Special Assistant to the President for Public Liaison in the White House and we discuss his article in the Huffington Post about the choices facing Americans in this election, “What Kind of People Will We Be?”

Part 3
|
Then finally we speak with veteran journalist Peter Stone who has been tracking money in politics for decades. We discuss the many issues in the Democratic platform that will likely not be discussed on stage at the convention; gun control, raising the minimum wage, slowing and reversing climate change, and most of all, campaign finance reform. |
