...With reporting by David Van Biema, Adam Cohen, Michael Duffy, Aisha Labi, Eric Pooley and Barrett Seaman/Highway...
...group of us--led by Michael Duffy, Nancy Gibbs and Eric Pooley of our political team--concluded that it would be useful (and fun) to travel across the country listening to what was really on people's minds.
