All Politics Are National
It’s been decades since Tip O’Neill coined the adage about local politics. But are all politics national in 2006? Republicans want people to vote against a Speaker Pelosi. Democrats want a vote against President Bush. What about the local candidate? Also, Ned Lamont on his Senate race; Nueva NY: A guide to Latina life in the 5 boroughs, and listeners' calls on international adoption.
