Tomorrow is national election day in Britain. And in many ways, their campaign season looks nothing like ours. Missing are the barrage of political ads, town hall meetings, and months of candidates on the stump. We'll compare elections in the UK and the USA with Ben Fenton, political correspondent for the Daily Telegraph in London, and Anne Sa'adah, professor of political science at Dartmouth College. We will also hear from Karen Hicks, who worked for the presidential campaigns of Howard Dean and John Kerry and is now a consultant to the Labor Party in Britain.
