Let the Races begin! Candidates for state and federal office can start filing for the September Primary today. Democrats are hoping their popular governor will lead to a shift in power at the Statehouse, but they're having some trouble finding candidates to run in all the races. We'll talk about that and the battle over congressional seats.

Our Guests Are:

Dante Scala, Associate Professor of Government at Saint Anselm College

Arnie Arneson, Former Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate and Talk Show Host

Rich Killion, Republican Consultant and Vice President of Elevare Communications

We'll also talk with former Maine Governor Angus King about his efforts to put a third-party candidate in the Whitehouse. It's called Unity 08.
