Posted by Staff in On The Air on Jan 22nd, 2010 | no responses

On today’s political roundtable, we focus on the impact of Republican Scott Brown’s (pictured) Senate victory, the importance of a new Supreme Court ruling on campaign financing, and the politicizing of the tragedy in Haiti. Tony Cox talks with Ron Christie — head of Christie Strategies and a former aide to President George W. Bush — and Michael Fauntroy, an assistant professor at the George Mason School of Public Policy.

Plus, it’s the end of the week and time to take a look at the big sports weekend ahead. Can a rookie in New York do what Joe Namath did for the Jets years ago? The pro golf tour is off and running for 2010, but there’s no Tiger in the tank, and the NBA is still reeling from the fallout over Gilbert Arenas’ locker room gun play. Tony Cox talks with veteran sports journalist and author Roy Johnson. He is also vice president and editor in chief of Men’s Fitness magazine and maintains the blog “Ballers, Gamers and Scoundrels.”
