Ben Adler on RNC Conservatives, Media, and Primaries:
The Nation Magazine Election Writer takes us through Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Beyond.
What did the media ask Republican Presidential candidates, what was left out? The Nation Magazine's Ben Adler looks at Iowa, New Hampshire and S. Carolina with an eye toward what could be asked of the candidates, what they are really saying. Is Romney for the 1%? We look at Ben Adler's story in The Nation Magazine, "Ten Questions for Mitt Romney" plus examine the new role of Rick Santorum as a Christian Conservative candidate, and consider Ron Paul's results. What did we learn from Iowa? Where do we go from here?Produced by Dori Smith, Storrs, CT
