Monday 25 August '08 show
- Show live from the 2008 Democratic National Convention, Denver, radio row.
- Guest: Steve Hildebrand, deputy national campaign director of Barack Obama's presidential campaign. He's been in the business 22 years. This is a very important week, an important time to communicate with the American people and broaden their base of support. Change. Larry Johnson, a Republican who supported Valerie Plame, first blogged about Michelle Obama saying whitey on tape and other RNC smears, targeted at Hillary supporters. It's the same old political games. McCain is more of the same. He supported and worked for the Clintons. Nixon's dirty tricks against Ed Muskie. Republican interference in Michigan Democratic primaries. Hillary has made it clear that we should unite behind Obama. A handful will decide not to. Get on board if you are passionate about the issues. Teddy Kennedy is in Denver. It feels like Obama is the heir to the Kennedy legacy. We've got to get him elected.
- Bumper Music: Blue State Liberal, Pat Scanlon.
- Calls about Hillary and her supporters and the need to show up McCain, go on the offensive. Polls.
- Article: Pawlenty Promises CEOs

From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
