The DMZ

Bill Scher (CAF, Liberal Oasis, Wait! Don't Move to Canada!) and Matt K. Lewis (The Daily Caller, MattLewis.org)

On The DMZ: Can Scott Brown overcome being a Republican in Massachusetts? Can Politico's Roger Simon overcome a failed attempt at satire? Can Romney overcome the polls? Or is Obama the Teflon President? Did Obama mislead the public about Libya? And why hasn't the attack in Benghazi become a bigger campaign issue? Plus: Romney's wrong bet on the economy.
