The Race for President and the Politics of Change

Hosted by
In an election year that has been defined by unexpected changes in political fortunes, what kind of changes might still be in store? Would a race between John McCain and Barack Obama, or John McCain and Hillary Clinton, mark a return to a more civil and less cut-throat approach to campaigning? Or is all the talk about change just this year's version of an election strategy? Also, Scotland Yard on Benazir Bhutto's death, and Hollywood writers may be back at work as early as Monday. Sara Terry guest hosts.

One of the most unusual aspects of the 2008 presidential campaign is its changing dynamics and how they affect political dialogue. Would a race between John McCain and Barack Obama, or John McCain and Hillary Clinton, mark a return to a more civil and less cut-throat approach to campaigning? Or is all the talk about change just this year's version of an election strategy? Also, Scotland Yard reports on the cause of death of Benazir Bhutto, and sharpen those pencils  or plug in those computers. The Hollywood writers' strike could be over this weekend. Sara Terry guest hosts.
