The DMZ
Bill Scher (CAF, Liberal Oasis, Wait! Don't Move to Canada!) and Kristen Soltis (The Winston Group, Crossroads Generation, KristenSoltis.com)
Kristen makes a triumphant return to Bloggingheads and learns the rules of The DMZ. She and Bill size up the Paul Ryan pick. Who now has the edge on Medicare? Does Ryan give Romney a chance to win the youth vote? Was Biden's "chains" comment a meaningless ad-lib or the sign of an increasingly divisive campaign? And should we blame the media for this frivolous political climate?
