Hosted by

California’s next statewide election is less than a month away—the first without an incumbent Governor on the ballot since 1998.

Also tonight, stocks soared worldwide over Europe’s trillion-dollar commitment to shore up its economy. Is a major crisis being only kicked down the road? And…President Obama’s latest nominee to the US Supreme Court. Can Elena Kagan be confirmed by the Senate?
