This week’s edition of WNRN’s Wake-Up Call is a discussion about politics - specificially the 2008 Presidential Race.

Three guests: Bonnie, Thalia, and Jim, give their opinions on questions such as, “Should Clinton drop out?” “Which Democratic candidate would do better against McCain?” and “How does ageism/racism/sexism play into the equation?”

The conversation then moves to each candidate’s specific policies. How does each one stand on domestic affairs? Foreign policy? What policies are popular with the voters? They also discuss the college vote - what college-age voters care about, and how that could affect the general election this November. Callers also chime in with their opinions on the issues.
