NOW on PBS | David Sirota On The 2009 Election | PBS

Duration: 24:04 (Full Program)
Program: NOW on PBS #545

Only one year after a historic election rerouted the course of America's political culture, do the 2009 election results show momentum swinging in the opposite direction? NOW's David Brancaccio talks to political author and columnist David Sirota about populist anger, the Obama administration's successes and failures, and how this week's election results foreshadow the state of politics in 2010.
