The Wheelhouse: It's Almost Over!

We're almost there. Today, it’s the final edition of our weekly news roundtable The Wheelhouse before next Tuesday’s election. We’ll check-in on the final dash to the finish line, from big-name campaign visitors (two Obamas and a Christie), to a state-wide bus tour for Tom Foley. Our panel of reporters and observers will fill you in on what you need to know in the last six days of the campaign. If you love political commercials, then you have six more days to soak them all in.

GUESTS:

  • Colin McEnroe - The host of The Colin McEnroe Show on WNPR
  • Bill Curry - Democratic political analyst
  • Keith Phaneuf - State budget reporter for the Connecticut Mirror
  • Harriet Jones - WNPR's business editor and reporter
  • Diane Orson - WNPR's managing editor, Morning Edition host and education reporter
