Pros & Conn

Adam and Dan assess whether the Florida effectively ended the GOP race, and whether immigration reform is effectively DOA. Should we, unlike Mitt Romney, worry about the very poor? Dan calls b.s. on both Occupy Wall Street and Romney. Plus: hip-hop as the purest expression of American capitalism.

Economist Ross Levine is on The Glenn Show to discuss money in America. Did Mitt Romney get rich through “vulture capitalism”? Glenn comes to the conclusion that private equity firms have gotten a bad rap, but also that they should probably pay more taxes. And Ross explains how competition can fix the banking system.

The Week in Blog
This week: Bill and Matt need viewer input on renaming their show. Then, under consideration: Is Romney getting stronger, or are his opponents just pathetic? Do political leaders need inspiring “moon-shot” ideas, or are voters craving a return to normalcy? Did the State of the Union show Obama triangulating or rallying his base?
