Your Podscope hit is at 0:13
Will W---s late effort to broker MidEast peace bear fruit or will the details kill any possible deal. The GOP CNN/YouTube debate saw Mike Huckabee rise above the others--- dog-fight fray. Plus Tony has lunch with him! Obama has breakfast with Mike Bloomberg --- will his billions make him a VP candidate. And Bob accuses the media of a lack of substance. Hillay says Obama---s health care ads are a lie; Bill Clinton says he never supported war in Iraq --- is that a lie. And will the new embryo-free stem cell technology end the stem cell debate.

California---s fires and the politicization of natural disasters. Putin objects to a US plan for missile defense shield in Europe --- is a pipe dream. New US sanctions against Iran. The Dems revise SCHIP --- will it pass or is this just a political game. The cost of war is projected to be $2.4 TRILLION --- is it worth the money. And conservative columnists complain about the crummy GOP Presidential candidate field.

The subprime mortgage crisis may force 2 million people out of their homes and a
small army of Wall Street executives out of their jobs. Will there be a
recession.-- Would government intervention make things better or worse. Also, the
US turns another province over to Iraqi control, and Christina Fernandez de
Kirchner succeed her husband as President of Argentina. What that could mean for
other women in politics.

Can we bet on Bhutto as our new War on Terror partner in Pakistan. Can we trust them with the nukes they have. The Las Vegas debate: Democrats take on Pakistan, Iran and Iraq and Hillary.

Should America Use 'Soft Power' in the Middle East.>
Your Podscope hit is at 0:13
With the US bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan, even tough-minded
conservatives are talking about a new emphasis on "soft power." We talk
about what that means and how it could serve America's interests in an
increasingly dangerous world. Also, immunity for Blackwater security
guards, and the US Supreme Court, the First Amendment and child
pornography on the Internet.
