Campaigning vs. Governing

Whether it was the President's State of the Union or the GOP debate in Jacksonville, Florida, passions were on display this week for the President and his challengers alike.

We talk about President Obama's State of the Union address and the state of play in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Joining Matt Miller and Robert Scheer as guest panelists are David Frum, contributing editor to the Daily Beast and Newsweek, and Chrystia Freeland, editor of Thomson Reuters Digital. Frum has just returned from Florida, where voters will head to the polls for the primary on Tuesday, January 31. (KCRW will carry NPR's wrap-up of the primary from 5-7pm.) Chrystia Freeland gives us the view from "the snowy hamlet of Davos, Switzerland", where the World Economic Forum is underway.
