The African American Vote
Larry Mantle talks with Jeff Douglas, News editor of AOL Black Voices about the significance of the African American vote in this historic election.
The Youth Vote
Larry Mantle talks with David Phelps, vice president of the California Young Democrats, Molly Kawahata, age 18 and a California delegate, and Trevor Martin, MTV Team 08 citizen reporter about the youth vote in this election.
What Does Obama Need To Say Tonight To Clinch It?
It is a coincidence that the first minority Presidential candidate of a major political party is accepting the nomination on the 45th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech. But it's certainly a lucky coincidence for the Democrats. Senator Obama will speak to a crowd of nearly 75,000 at Denver's Invesco Field this evening. Larry and his guests discuss what is expected from Obama's acceptance speech and what he has to say in order to clinch the election. Guests include Doyle McManus, Washington Bureau Chief for the L.A. Times, Mark Barabak, political correspondent for the L.A. Times, and Barbara Boxer, Democratic Senator from California.
