Thursday, November 8, 2012

Tonight on the program, we examine the turn of attention from the presidential election to the looming fiscal cliff, and how President Obama and the GOP look to find a solution before year's end. Also: How the GOP must adapt post-election, overly-long lines on Election Day, pediatricians getting kids to read for their health, and the transition to new party leaders in China.
