It’s said that politics creates strange bedfellows.

We put together a podcast which includes the discussion in its entirety along with special guest commentary from Congressman James Clyburn D-SC who is the current whip of the US House of Representatives, and James Rucker who heads up Color of Change. Included on this show are; Harvey Kronberg of theQuorum Report, Ann del Llano of Southern Shift and Carmen Llanes of PODER. They discuss the importance of redistricting in the 2010 elections, especially as it pertains to Texas.
We spoke with long time activist James Rucker about the upcoming 2010 elections and the census, and how they will impact an important issue like redistricting and gerrymandering. We also talked to him about the battle Color of Change has with Fox News and Glenn Beck as well as his relationship with Van Jones.
