Mark Halperin is the editor-at-large at Time Magazine

Mark Halperin is the editor-at-large at Time Magazine and political analyst for ABC News, is the author of The Undecided Voter’s Guide To The Next President. The book is really chock-full of funny anecdotes, interesting factoids and really unusual information presented in a quick, useful and informative way. Sort of a cliff notes for the primaries. Mark is available for interviews by phone on Tuesday, October 30th. In an interview, Mark could come on the show and go through a checklist on any number of issues and see where all the candidates stand or if you would like to do something a little more fun he could discuss the lighter things he discovered about the candidates in his candidate questionairre. Which candidate matches which wacky behavior, (see below). Take a look at the attached materials which will tell you more about the book and let me know if you think something like that might work for you. Thanks!
