Part 1	We begin with how much Mitt Romney has got away with in this election, having not released his tax returns, his list of bundlers and not having spoken to the press for over three weeks at the close of a critical election. Alec MacGillis, a senior editor at The New Republic who is the magazine’s chief correspondent for the 2012 campaign, joins us. He has an article at The New Republic “Romney’s Secrecy: Did He Get Away With It?”
Part 2	Then we speak with Kenneth Davis the best-selling author of “Don’t Know Much About History” and the Don’t Know Much About series of books. We discuss his latest book “Don’t Know Much About the American Presidents” and his article at CNN “Economy Not Key to Incumbent Winning”, which contradicts the conventional wisdom and political mantra “It’s the Economy Stupid”.
Part 3	Then finally, with the cover of Business Week boldly stating “It’s Global Warming Stupid”, we look into the geopolitical, security and economic implications of global warming with Cleo Paskall, the author of “Global Warring: How Environmental, Economic, and Political Crises Will Redraw the World Map”. We discuss how much the U.S. is denying global warming while other powers are exploiting the new geostrategic landscape as the planet changes from global warming.
