Democratic Roundtable

Democrats won big this year once again. In 2006, they won control of the U.S. House and Senate. Two years later and they still maintain control, while voting in a few more seats as well as a Democratic President. Many Democrats call the victories of 2008 a mandate by the U.S. citizenry and time for the Democrats to “cash in” on their political capital. Today a roundtable of New Hampshire Democrats join us to talk about how they might drive the federal government’s car, now that they seemingly have been given the keys.
