Mon, 26 Jul 10
Duration:
28 mins
Former New York Times Editor and Alabama native Howell Raines discusses the weight the southern vote can carry and what history can teach Democrats about winning southern favour as the midterm elections approach. The state of South Carolina is gaining attention for its Democratic Senatorial candidate Alvin M. Greene. Greene was an unknown political entity until he swept in to win the Democratic Party's spot. With less than $200 in his bank account and 100 days until the election, he describes his campaign strategy and hopes for becoming a senator of South Carolina. Award winning author Richard Ford, perhaps best known for his Pulitzer Prize and PEN/Faulkner Awarded book "Independence Day," debunks the myths of antebellum southern literature. Boar hunter Chris Jaworowski takes Americana to visit the rural expanses of Alabama to explain the efforts in place to limit the aggressive boar.
