Plus, it’s an abbreviated version of the Media Matters for American Smackdown with Karl Frisch, in which he packs a whole lot of funny in a short time. [24MB download mp3]

Today at 9am: Awakening the South’s Democratic Majority, Part 2 – This Time it’s Personal!

On July 8, 2009, in Liberate Your Radio from The Right, Podcasts, by Mary Mancini

Yesterday I spoke with Bob Moser, the author of Blue Dixie: Awakening the South’s Democratic Majority who made the case that Tennessee is not a deep shade of red but rather a pretty aubergine. He also gave Tennessee’s progressives clues on how we can awaken the state’s inner blue.

This morning, we take the conversation one step further and speak with two Tennessee Democrats who are in the trenches and working to implement some of the strategies outlined in Moser’s book.

Guests include Maria Brewer, chairperson of the Sumner County Democratic Party and Jordan Huffman, Vice-Chairman of the Washington County Democratic Party and the Vice President of the Tennessee Federation of College Democrats.

Also joining the show today will be Eric Boehlert of Media Matters for America, to talk about Almost-One-Term-Governor Sarah Palin and her “No Mas” moment.
