INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Today on the show, the balance of Congressional power is up for grabs in this midterm election. It could be determined by a small number of voters in a few battleground states. Blueprints from the past could be the guide for big wins. The GOP has embraced a block-the-vote strategy set in motion in Arizona in the 1960s. And the Democrats are embracing a grassroots power base set up in Michigan in the 1970s.
Guests:
John A. Jenkins, author of The Partisan: The Life of William Rehnquist

Ismael Ahmed, co-founder of the Arab American Center for Economic and Social Services.
Sally Howell, Professor of History with a focus on Arab American studies at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
