Politics and the Economy in the Mid-Term Elections

Hosted by
The gap between the rich and the middle class is growing fast, but President Bush says the economy will help Republicans in next month's elections. Will healthcare costs and gasoline prices make a difference? Do voters resent the wealthy--or want to be like them? Plus, the US grows impatient over the UN debate over sanctions against North Korea, and an American citizen from Orange County, California-turned-spokesman for al-Qaeda is indicted for treason.
