Sep 2: David Frum, former speechwriter for George W Bush

David Frum, a former speechwriter for George W Bush and author of the book, 'Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again,' talks to Edward Luce, Washington DC Bureau Chief, at the Republican National Convention in Minnesota. Frum says that McCain's choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as the Republican vice presidential nominee was a gamble, but that the recent revelation of her daughter's pregnancy will only increase her appeal to blue collar voters. He predicts that the election will be about elitism and which candidate is 'out of touch' with the American public.
