Back to Politics at the RNC; Peter Baker on George Bush's Legacy

It’s Day 2 at the RNC and presumptive VP nominee Sarah Palin is on everybody’s mind as more details about her personal and political life come to light and McCain’s screening process comes under scrutiny. Patt talks to political analysts about the situation and hears your opinion, too….the comment area is open.

And let’s face it - the perception of the GOP is that it’s a party of white, affluent males. We talk to former Congressman JC Watts about the perspective of black Republicans and how the old and new guard may be looking for different things from a McCain presidency.

Then Larry Mantle talks with New York Times Magazine contributing writer, Peter Baker, about the legacy of President George W. Bush. Baker interviewed past and current friends, advisors and the president’s father to learn what the President really thinks about his own legacy, along with views on his former rival and the fall campaign. Its a topic that will be examined for decades after he leaves office, but how does the President view his legacy in these remaining days?

    Is anyone making book on how many times Rudy Giuliani will mention 9/11?
