After two GOP debates that made Kennedy-Nixon seem tame, Spitzer & Matalin agree that Romney blew it by having no good answer on releasing his tax returns. Mary has a suggestion for Mitt to get off the defensive -- give a paid 30 minute address on all networks on "the moral basis of capitalism" (think Ross Perot meets John Galt). They also clash on whether Newt played the race card in South Carolina (a black man the best "food stamp president"?) and whether the Keystone decision was about economics, the environment, or politics.

“Let’s create new talk shows and blogs in which liberals and conservatives interrogate one another’s views...it
would be a useful antidote to the current cable and blog ghettoes, where you can go years without hearing the
other side make its case.” — “Washington is Broken,” Time Magazine cover, March 1, 2010
Both Sides Now is a views-on-the-news weekend radio show that exchanges ideas, not insults. It covers both sides so listeners decide for themselves. You'll hear from Arianna Huffington, CEO of the AOL-Huffington Post Media Group, and Mary Matalin, CNN contributor and former top aide in the Bush-Cheney White House. Sitting in for Arianna occasionally will be Ron Reagan and Eliot Spitzer. Hosted by Mark Green.

BOTH SIDES NOW- JANUARY 14th, 2012
Arianna & Mary debate: Resolved, Romney's the very likely nominee after winning two of two contests, but the less likely president because GOP rivals have opened big wounds -- Bain job-killer? deeply divided party? Mary thinks the attacks have only hurt Gingrich and Perry while Arianna argues that it's potentially devastating if Romney's rationale against Obama as a "job-killer" is turned on him. Then the women discuss how Michelle is doing after publication of The Obamas and whether Tebowing is good for sports and religion.

BOTH SIDES NOW- JANUARY 7th, 2012
Reagan & Matalin spar over the GOP contenders and Obama's ballsy recess appointments. Can a blue collar Santorum seriously challenge the blue-blood Romney? As for the human IED named Newt, Ron adds a personal note: "when Gingrich invokes my father, I throw up in my mouth." Then: Mary opposes but Ron applauds Obama's recess appointments and end run around a balking Senate GOP minority.
