A blockbuster book about the 2008 campaign exposes unflattering, behind-the-scenes details about the key Democratic and Republican players, including John and Elizabeth Edwards’ relentless push for the White House despite his affair with Rielle Hunter. Democratic watchdog Joe Sinsheimer and Chris Hayes of the Civitas Institute join host Donna Martinez to discuss the revelations found in Game Change, written by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann. The guests also weigh in on news that an independent panel can’t find the missing Mike Easley travel records that may hold answers to investigators’ questions, potential trouble for the former head of the DMV, the impact of the retirment of state Sen. R.C. Soles on the Senate and comments about the fiscal insecurity of the country made by Newt Gingrich in Raleigh. Rick Martinez also welcomes Democratic senatorial candidate Ken Lewis to discuss his quest for the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Sen. Richard Burr in the Fall.
