Conventions of Love
Mora Stephens wanted to look at how the political divide in America affects personal relationships. So she made a romantic comedy set in the 2004 Republican National Convention. She tells the story of a Democratic protester falling for a Republican delegate and asks if the person can come before the politics. We talk to Stevens and hear how listeners deal with the same question. Plus: 30 Issues in 30 Days: If the Democrats take Congress, should they investigate, or even impeach, the President?
