CMC paddles out into the mainstream of the murky political river with our "2006 Election Preview" featuring seasoned political journalists Bill Cohen, Sandy Theis and Joe Hallett. With equal parts insight (consider the panelists) and entertainment (consider the panelists and the topic!) these three will gaze into the crystal balls of their laptops and microphones to lead us on lively adventure across an ever-changing political landscape.

Never a dull subject, this year's campaigns, including the gubernatorial race, are already providing entertaining news and conversation daily. Who's running today? Who's jumping in, jumping out? Who's ahead in the polls? Do the polls predict how people will really vote? Are the keys issues education, the economy, jobs, crime, the war on terrorism or who will win American Idol? Will the political scandals and corruption, perceived or real, at the Statehouse and in Washington guide voters at the polls in November?

Forget November, what about some of the heated races on the horizon for the May primaries!
