There Are Two Kinds of People in This World....
Are we really so polarized in this election year—or do most Americans actually agree on the issues? Sara Fishko examines the old adage that there are two kinds of people in the world: those who believe that there are two kinds of people in the world, and those who don’t. Also, Wayne Barrett on next week’s primary election, Alan Murray on the "ownership society", and Philadelphia goes wireless.
