Obama's Visit into American Homes: We begin with comments on Obama's half hour infomercial. We thought it simply stunning, with a brilliant live ending. Tune in as we talk about F.D.R., Kennedy and the Dixiecrats to give a little historical perspective, as well as Sam's segway into Chaim Potok's "The Chosen" and isolation.
Obama as President: How would he govern? Jodi Kantor gives us a glimpse with "Barack Obama - forever sizing up", published Sunday in N.Y. Times election special issue, where she explores Obama's leadership style going back to law school. Fascinating and hopeful as well. Listen up for details.
Alaska Senator Ted Stevens and his Campaign: Apparently Ted Stevens is undaunted by his convicted felon status, as he returns to Alaska to continue his campaign for re-election. Anchorage Daily News' Sean Cockerham helps us understand the various scenarios with Tuesdays's "GOP Senate Campaign May Feel Fallout of Stevens Verdict", in the event he is re-elected or resigns now or later. Interesting.
Listeners Weigh In: We are always gratified to hear from listeners, as sometimes we wonder if anyone is out there. Join us as we read comments from new listener Nick and from faithful follower Boots.
Okay, folks. One more podcast to go before November 4. We plan to get back to a variety of topics post-election. Until then, we're stuck. And so are you. Thanks!
