Guests:

Walter Shapiro, political columnist at USA Today, author of forthcoming book "One Car Caravan: Running for President Before America Tunes In"

Eleanor Clift, contributing editor for Newsweek magazine

Jack Beatty, On Point news analyst, senior editor at the Atlantic Monthly magazine

This program aired on February 24, 2003.
