Can a conservative, a centrist and a progressive all have their eyes on the same voting bloc? On the morning of the New Hampshire primary, see why McCain, Bloomberg and Obama are all of interest to America’s independent voters. And go live to the Granite State to see how well the voting machines are working. Plus, Hillary gets emotional and listeners respond. We talk briefly to a Daily News staff writer about the petition to change the trial of the police involved in the Sean Bell shooting. And, how punk capitalism and piracy are reinventing the marketplace. We also talk to a woman who decided to go cell-ibate- and not use her cell phone for sixty days! Finally, the return of the late night talk show: did you cross the picket line with your eyes?
