Just when you thought we were getting sick of the horse race … we decide to do 2014 election coverage in a 2016 battleground: New Hampshire. And what a place to choose. It’s the site of a key Senate race (and a small silver lining for Democrats) and, lucky for us, a fantastic staff at …
The results are in. It’s good news for the Republican Party. And a sweeping repudiation of President Obama and the Democrats. In the Senate, a new GOP majority. In the House, enough pickups to make it a record number for the party. In the contests for governor, Republican victories in states that are solidly blue. …
The midterms are so close we can smell them! Or are we just smelling the hog farm? Either way, it’s time for this week’s trivia question. At least one independent — Greg Orman of Kansas — is given a decent shot at winning election to the Senate this year. If that happens, he would join …
We’re here. It’s time for the 2014 midterm elections. And so, we have a show for the ages. We start off with Republican Vin Weber and Democrat Anna Greenberg laying out what’s at stake on November 4th, and what it might mean for the final two years of the Obama presidency. And then we go …
The World Series started this week, with the Kansas City Royals facing the San Francisco Giants. If you follow Ken on Twitter, you know he’s rooting for the Royals.

Reid Wilson of the Washington Post …
A Senate race in the Midwest is suddenly heating up, and that leads to this week’s trivia question. Larry Pressler is running for the Senate in South Dakota this year. Eighteen years ago he was defeated for re-election to his Senate seat. Who is the last senator to lose his bid for re-election in the …
If politics can get you sick, and Ebola can get you very sick, then what happens when Ebola and politics collide? Both parties are pointing fingers at each other as to who’s responsible: Democrats blame Republicans, claiming that their budget cutting votes hurt the country’s ability to fully fund the Centers for Disease Control. The …
We’re getting so close to Election Day we could practically burst. Being that restless only really has one solution — going to sunny California to relax. And, luckily for us, Capital Public Radio was there with open arms. But, with so much going on — including a new podcast — the last thing we could do …
This week we talk about sex and the Supreme Court. From this week’s decisions on same-sex marriage, to all the way back in 1991, when the Hill-Thomas hearings that raised awareness of sexual harassment in the workplace. Plus, a look at former Democratic strongholds, and how they’ll influence 2014 — a swiftly changing Republican landscape in …
