    Deeper than Debate

    Former governor Mario Cuomo was so unhappy with the presidential debates that he launched his own dialogue series with the candidates. On the next Brian Lehrer Show, Governor Cuomo talks about politics and policy and his upcoming discussion with John Edwards at Cooper Union. Plus: French businessman turned politician Jean-Christophe Fromantin on France in the Sarkozy Era.

The Status of Sarkozy

The opposition Socialist party made big gains in last week's election in France. What does this mean for the center-right government of Nicolas Sarkozy? Jean-Christophe Fromantin, a businessman who ran an underdog campaign for Sarkozy's former Assembly seat, gives his perspective.
