Muwakkil on Democracy Now

Tracy Van Slyke

The Kerry campaign announced yesterday that Illinois state senator and Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Barack Obama will deliver the keynote address at this year's Democratic National Convention in Boston. On Democracy Now this morning, Salim Muwakkil a senior editor for In These Times talked about Obama's rising star in Illinois and in the national arena. Check out the transcript. I can safely say that all of us at In These Times are Obama groupies.

Tracy Van Slyke, a former publisher of In These Times, is the project director for The Media Consortium.
