Ken Rudin's Political Junkie

Episode #353: You Never Forget Your First Runoff

Listen Later
Both political parties are focusing on the two Senate runoffs in Georgia on January 5th.  Wyche Fowler, a Georgia Democrat elected to the Senate in 1986, nearly won re-election in 1992 but because he fell a tad below the required 50 percent, he was forced into a runoff three weeks later … and he lost.  Fowler is on the Political Junkie this week with memories of that time, and offers differences and similarities to what is happening today.
Music in this week’s episode:
Particle Man by They Might Be Giants
The Times They Are A-Changin’ by Bob Dylan
