Protest Contest

Today we discuss the data points that seem to contradict predictions of a major democratic sweep in the midterms, the political unrest in France and England, the increased sociopolitical capital of protesting and rioting in an age of diminishing reasons to protest and riot, Obama campaigning with Abdul El-Sayed, Brett McGurk's new book pouring cold water on Clinton-era revisionism, and John recommends John Steinbeck's East of Eden.
