Tonight the presidential candidates go back in the ring for the second of three debates. As Bush and Kerry prepare to take the stage in St.Louis, the polls are getting tighter, the rhetoric is getting hotter, and the news, well it just keeps coming.
The final report from the Iraqi Survey showing that Saddam Hussein didn’t have WMDs has both candidates arguing they were right about the war. Then there are last night’s bombings in Egypt targeting Israelis, and the continuing violence in Afghanistan in advance of this weekend’s elections.
Tonight, much of the talk is sure to be about terror — but with voters asking the questions, you can bet there will be something about health care and jobs and education as well.
Guests:
Rick Davis, Republican strategist and John McCain’s presidential campaign manager
Mike Feldman, Democratic strategist and former Senior Advisor to Al Gore
Jo Mannis, political correspondent for the St. Louis Post Dispatch
Adam Smith, political editor for the St. Petersburg Times.
