AbstractFive on Five: Elections at local and federal levels; Marjorie Arons-Barron hosts a discussion about comments by Gaylan Ellis-Hagler that incited much anger among local voters; discussants include Jack Flood, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Avi Nelson, and Hubie Jones; the essences of the conversation is that the challengers for mayor claim to have ideas, while the incumbent doesn't seem to say anything at all about what he plans to do, and is that okay; black screen breaks; the national picks in the democrat party are discussed loosely; Clinton is barely mentioned, Kerry is lightly discussed; hostages and aid to Israel are the the topics for the final segment that leads to a very divisive conversation;
