Which Way to the White House?

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
It's been a long time since the South was a Democratic stronghold. On today's show, we'll hear a debate on whether the Democrats should woo back the South in order to win the White House in 2008. Then, Turkish novelist Elif Shafak tackles questions of Turkish identity - she was once brought to court for "insulting Turkishness." Leonard talks to a writer who says that women's emotional relationship with money affects every part of their lives. Also, borderline personality disorder: what it is, and why you should know about it. The illness affects roughly 10 million Americans.
