Frost over the World - Laura Schwartz - 07 Mar 08

  • 12 years ago
Sir David is joined by Laura Schwartz, a Democratic political commentator and former Special Assistant to Bill Clinton, former US president.

Schwartz warns that the closeness of the Democratic race could benefit the Republicans. She also says that Obama is likely to have more delegates than Clinton by the time of the convention.

Sir David also talks to Kate Parker of the Economist Intelligence Unit about Columbia's actions and the subsequent tensions in the region.

Parker warns the possibility of war cannot be discounted but says Venezuela and Ecuador would have little chance of beating US-backed Columbia in a military conflict.
