13:06U.S. Territories and Federal Elections

Guest host: Marc Fisher

The eyes of the political world were on Puerto Rico this past weekend, where one of the last presidential primaries of the 2008 cycle took place. But for many, Puerto Rico's Democratic primary served as a reminder that the people who live there and in other U.S. territories do not participate in the general election. Join us as we discuss the role of the U.S. territories in the electoral process.

Guests

Jeffrey Farrow, Former co-chair of the President's Interagency Group on Puerto Rico, 1994 to 2001; Staff director of the House subcommittee on territories, 1982 to 1994.

Newsweek's Washington Bureau Chief Howard Fineman joins us to discuss thirteen uniquely 'American Arguments' that come into play in virtually all American disagreements and debates.

Guests

Howard Fineman, Washington Correspondent, Newsweek Magazine; and author of "The Thirteen American Arguments: Enduring Debates That Define and Inspire Our Country (Random House)
