Late Night Live

This week Bruce talks about the shifting poll results, which show John McCain gaining support in the lead-up to the Democratic and Republican conventions.
Bruce argues the stakes for Barack Obama going into next week's convention are enormous: If he wants to regain his lead, he needs to come out roaring. Jazz musicians talk about 'woodshedding' - disappearing to work up new riffs and refresh the act. The question which Obama needs the convention to answer: Has he been woodshedding, or just running out of gas?
