Episode #295: Cokie

The strikes against Joe Biden keep piling up, as do the attacks from some of his rivals.  But as Dave Weigel of the Washington Post points out, he’s still atop the pack.  Meanwhile, there’s still another four and a half months before voters have their say. The commercial only ran once.  But as author Bob Mann notes, the so-called “Daisy ad” that was produced for President Lyndon Johnson’s campaign to be run against GOP rival Barry Goldwater has become one of the most infamous negative ads of all time. And we remember the great and wonderful journalist Cokie Roberts, who died this week of breast cancer.  We are replaying an interview we did with her nearly six years ago following the death of her mom, Congresswoman Lindy Boggs.
