  • Recall Total

    After the polls close for California’s recall vote, election results may take up to a month to certify and there is still some question as to whether legal action may not invalidate the results. KQED’s Alex Cohen helps us make sense of what happened in the voting booth. He is joined by Lisa Garcia Bedolla, assistant professor in political science and in the Chicano/Latino Studies program at the University of California at Irvine. And it’s back to the 70’s, A.O. Scott, film critic for the New York Times, draws parallels between the New York of now and New York of the seventies. Then, author Ethan Watters joins Brian to focus on the herds of “never-marrieds” between the ages of 25 and 34 whose social networks, which Watters calls in his book “Urban Tribes.”
