Politics Is Local: Super Tuesday 2008

2008-02-07

This year, Super Tuesday came earlier and was bigger than ever before. But by all accounts, the day did not turn out any decisive winners. However, one thing was very clear: Americans are voting.

Community radio stations in the Pacifica Network and other media activists around the country called in from Super Tuesday primaries, with vivid descriptions of the people that showed up in record-breaking numbers to vote and why they did so.

This week's Sprouts edition is produced by Ursula Ruedenberg and Doug George of Pacifica Radio in New York City, with contributions from:

  • Nell Levin from WRFN and the Tennessee Alliance for Progress in Nashville, TN;
  • Joel Edelstein from KGNU in Boulder, CO;
  • Gabriel Piemonte in Chicago, IL;
  • Hamilton Kahn from WOMR in Provincetown, MA;
  • Scott Clarke from KEIF in Enid, OK;
  • Leigh Robertes from KRFP "Radio Free Moscow" in Moscow, ID;
  • Lauretta Dawolo from KFAI "Fresh Air Radio" in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN;
  • Vic Bedoian from KFCF in Fresno, CA;
  • Amanda Shauger from KXCI in Tucson, AZ;
  • Gene Cauliflower from KZ88 in Cabool, MO;
  • Heather Gray from WRFG in Atlanta, GA;
  • John Zippert from the Greene County Democrat & Greene-Sumter Enterprise Community in Greene County, AL.
  • Thanks also to Bill Dupuy from KSFR in Sante Fe, NM.
Music includes selections from Kwela African Jazz, and "Super Tuesday" by Hearts of Palm UK. (myspace.com/heartsofpalmuk, weekendamerica.publicradio.org)
