Wisdom from congressional alumni on domestic and foreign policy … and a new senator urges common sense on sequestration.
 
Today, some straight talk from a couple of former Democratic Congressmen. Tom Allen, from Maine, argues that bad things happen when lawmakers ignore evidence.

And Bill Press talks with new Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin.
