Women in Politics

The 2012 election was a turning point for women in politics. There will be a record number of women in the U.S. House of Representatives where Ohio's Marcy Kaptur is the most senior woman member. There will be more women U.S. Senators than ever before, and New Hampshire becomes the first state to have an all woman Congressional delegation. Are women still under-represented? Join host Mike McIntyre for a conversation about the ascendance of women in politics, Tuesday morning at 9 on the Sound of Ideas.

Topics: Government/Politics, Elections
After what seemed like the longest presidential campaign in history -- at least here in sought-after Ohio -- voters finally have their say at the polls. I'm Mike McIntyre. Join me Wednesday at 9 for a post-election wrap up on the Sound of Ideas. Plain Dealer politics writer Henry Gomez joins me along with WKSU News Director M.L. Schultze other guests. And we'd love to hear your take on the races, the issues and what many see as the merciful end of merciless campaigning.
Reporters’ Roundtable 11/2

Topics: Community/Human Interest, Economy, Courts/Crime - Fire/Law Enforcement, Government/Politics, Elections, Health, Children's Health
A storm without precedent hits the region and new Ohio polls show President Barack Obama maintains a very slim lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney. The week’s news has been dominated by those two stories, but there is much more going on in Northeast Ohio. We'll look at another guilty plea in the apparently-never-ending Cuyahoga County corruption case. Plus a first—and a second—for the under-construction medical mart in downtown Cleveland. And we’ll also hear why an area school seeks legal help to win one more game for its football team. Rick Jackson hosts the Sound of Ideas Reporters’ Roundtable, Friday at 9 on 90.3.
Campaign Horse Race in Home Stretch

Topics: Government/Politics, Elections
The campaign is winding to a close and all signs now point to the certainty that Ohio will be the state that decides the election. We're being carpet-bombed with political ads aimed at influencing voters still undecided. We'll speculate on what more needs to be said. And if you have questions about early voting, provisional ballots or what to expect on election day, we'll have the answers. Join Mike McIntyre for The Sound of Ideas Thursday morning at 9:00 on 90.3
Tax Deductions and Politics

There's no place like home, especially when home also serves as a tax shelter. Tens of millions of taxpayers take advantage of the mortgage interest deduction, saving roughly $600 year. But some argue the government can no longer afford to let people write off the interest they pay on mortgages. How do President Obama and Governor Mitt Romney differ in their ideas to deal with mortgage interest and other tax deductions? Tomorrow morning at 9 with host Mike McIntyre on the Sound of Ideas.
