Competition in U.S. Elections Is Dead. But 'The Stone Pony' Is The Greatest Rock Club Ever. So There's That.
The Smerconish Podcast - Un pódcast de SiriusXM
Nick Corasaniti is the author of "I Don't Want to Go Home: The Oral History of the Stone Pony." This is what Michael really wanted to talk to the New York Times correspondent about, as they both share a love of music, especially live music. So yes, listen to a great conversation about that to start, but then, the actual reason Nick comes to talk is on his NY Times piece "The Death of Competition in American Elections." He says a vast majority of 2024 races for Congress and state legislatures were decided by low-turnout or meaningless primaries. It is not a great trend - but a great opportunity here to listen and learn. Original air date 27 February 2025.
