The Super Seven

Yesterday, seven states held Primaries and caucuses that many felt might make or break the contest for Democratic Presidential candidates. We look at how these races fared, especially the much contested battles in Missouri and South Carolina. Also, if the elections in New Hampshire and Iowa affected the outcomes and what these results mean for candidates in the months ahead. Laura's guest is Dean Spiliotes, visiting scholar at the Department of Politics at Saint Anselm College and author of "Vicious Cycle: Presidential Decisionmaking in the American Political Economy." We'll also hear from Katherine Welch, news director at NPR affiliate KBIA in Columbia, Missouri; Dr. Gary Copeland, director of the Carl Albert Congressional Research Study Center at Oklahoma University in Norman; and Mark Moran, reporter at public radio station KJZZ in Tempe, Arizona.
