Let’s Just Talk
The candidates in last week’s Democratic debate sparred over whether or not the U.S. should talk to its enemies. We look at how dealings with the president of Iran are affecting presidential politics here. Also, Google revolutionized the way we view the internet. Now it’s taking on the cell phone networks. We look at its search for a better system. Also, we ask you to weigh in on Spitzer's "Apology from Albany", and examine the possible benefits of a mandatory spay/neuter policy for animals.
We're counting on you!
