Power and Politics: The War Room podcast

On today's Power and Politics: The War Room podcast:

Ruth Ellen Brosseau, the NDP MP-elect known for visiting Vegas during the campaign, is not a college graduate, as her candidate biography claimed.* What does this do for her credibility and the NDP's image? Plus, Liberal Senators convene on the Hill in the midst of a looming leadership question. Who do they want at the helm of their party, and do their voices even matter?

Rob Silver of Crestview Strategy, Ian Capstick of MediaStyle and former Ontario Conservative cabinet minister Janet Ecker are in The War Room.

*Since the podcast taping, the NDP has released this statement:

"[Ms. Brosseau] never claimed to have this diploma, as she was two credits short of completion when she had to move back to Ottawa to be close to her family. When her bio was posted on our web site, a party staffer inadvertently changed the wording. We apologize for posting this information in error and regret any inconvenience this has caused Ms. Brosseau."
