An shorter show this week as Brook and Kartik fill-in for Rick. Topics discussed will be the state-of-play with state and presidential politics. Pre-show chat focused on contextualizing different campaign models, which I'm dying ask Kartik about tonight. Expect some thoughts on the latest establishment freak-out vis-a-vis those who plan a break from The Party, alongside Robert Reich's recent suprising post that what we need is a Third Party.
