Host Ken Rudin welcomes back his old friend from NPR's Talk of the Nation, Neal Conan, to the Political Junkie. They talk about the emergence of Chris Christie as the Republican frontrunner for 2016 and how that may not be going over too well with members of the Tea Party. Colorado political analyst Floyd Ciruli discusses how his state has gone from reliably red to bountifully blue… while noting that some are saying that an ambitious and aggressive Democratic majority may have overreached. Plus trivia, this day in history, and more!
