The Attitude for today is the weekly “Rethink the Week” program. With guests Shawn Sebastian in Iowa, Mark Fernald and Dean Spiliotis in New Hampshire. In the first half of the show we discuss the Iowa caucus, with emphasis on Sanders and Warren. How do the Democratic party and it’s candidates handle the inevitable accusations of Socialism? Buttigeg dropping in polls?

In the second half the opening topic is Mike Bloomberg, his Texas bus tour, his $billions, his plan to support whoever the Democratic candidate is, his plans for a role in case of a brokered convention. Are Bloomberg and Steyer angling to preserve their billions by heading off a Warren or Sanders win? Who is going to be seen as “electable”?
