Thom sits down with former presidential candidate Ralph Nader for an extended interview about the 2012 election, and with journalist and author Thomas Frank on our country's subservience to the billionaire class.

The Good! *The New York Times* Yesterday - the Times' editorial board officially endorsed the marriage equality ballot intiatives that will be voted on in four states on Election Day. In the endorsement - the paper urged residents of Maryland, Minnesota, Maine and Washington State to "not place their state so sharply on the wrong side of fairness." The editorial went on to say that, "the freedom to marry is a fundamental right that should not have to be won or defended at the ballot box." Unfortunately - the sad reality in America is that marriage equality does in fact have to be put to a vote. Let's hope that more and more Americans realize that everyone should have the right to marry whomever they want - and vote for marriage equality on Election Day

As millions of Americans clean up from the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy - Mitt Romney says the federal government should hand responsibility for caring for them off to for-profit companies like Bain Capital. Should disaster relief in our country really be left up to corporations that only care about the bottom-line?

Thom looks at why government is so crucial during times of crisis, like now during the aftermath of Super Storm Sandy. Tonight's "Lone Liberal Rumble" panel discusses Romney's call to privatize the role of FEMA, how he staged a storm relief event in Ohio, and his lies on shipping Chrysler/Jeep jobs to China and how Obama gutted the work requirement for welfare. In tonight's "Daily Take" Thom looks at how the electoral college doesn't just pick our president it protects slave labor.

With the fate of the Supreme Court hanging in the balance - are we one election away from the death of the Progressive movement in America?
