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 The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
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."
