It’s the Republicans’ turn as guest host Mike Pesca plays excerpts from, and gets analysis of, the first Republican presidential debate. How did Giuliani, Romney, McCain and the seven others do in their first face-to-face? Also: the third IPCC report on climate change; and Gustavo Arellano, the author of Ask a Mexican! debunks myths and answer questions like "Is a burrito authentic?" and "If Mexicans keep sending money back to Mexico, why aren't circumstances there improving?"

Red Round Robin
We analyze and excerpt the first Republican debate in the 2008 presidential campaign with Congressman Peter King (R-NY) in support of Rudolf Giuliani; Congressman Dave Camp (R-MI) for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney; and Nancy Pfotenhauer, former president and CEO of the Independent Women’s Forum and a surrogate for the John McCain campaign. Then Rich Lowry, editor of the National Review, looks at where the candidates stand.
