On WestSouthwest, the state of the Presidential race in Michigan and elsewhere. And the Natural Resources Defense Council questions the fine levied against Enbridge for the Kalamazoo River oil spill and other violations.
With the Republican National Convention wrapped up in Cleveland and the Democrats about to being their convention in Philadelphia, we get an assessment of the state of the race for President. Western Michigan University Political Science Professors Peter Wielhouwer and John Clark discuss polls, strategy and more.
