Issue Tuesdays: EconomyBy Laura Knoy on Tuesday, September 21, 2004.For the next six weeks we'll be dedicating our Tuesday broadcasts to the major issues that might make or break this election from Foreign policy to education to social issues.

In the Presidential race the lines are deeply divided yet in New Hampshire with higher national average median incomes and lower national than average unemployment, the issue might be a tougher sell for a contender. We look at jobs, the economy, the platforms and how they might play out in this year's elections. Laura's guests are Dean Spiliotes, a research fellow for the Department of Politics at St Anselm College and author of "Vicious Cycle: Presidential Decision Making in the American Political Economy", Ross Gittell, Professor of Management at The University of New Hampshire Whittemore School of Business and Economics and Andy Smith, Professor of political science at the University of New Hampshire and director of the UNH Survey Center. listen:
