The View from Washington

How do we resolve America's problems in ways liberals and conservatives will embrace? In Part I of the Wisconsin Academy's "Getting to Purple: Beyond the Red and Blue of Partisan Politics" series of Academy Evenings talks, Washington Post national political correspondent and Pulitzer Prize winner David Broder shares his views on the political climate and some broader aspects of American political life. Broder is a regular commentator on CNN's Inside Politics and makes regular appearances on NBC's Meet the Press and PBS's Washington Week. This Academy Evenings talk was recorded on September 10, 2008, at the Capitol Theater in the Overture Center for the Arts, Madison, WI.
