Better Politics with 'No Labels'

Partisan stalemate has become a hallmark of modern politics. Our guests are two of the founders of No Labels, an organization that aims to push us beyond the gridlock of partisan politics to actually solving problems.

We talk about what's broken and how we could reinvent the political system for the new century.

Guests:

• Mark McKinnon, vice-chair of Hill & Knowlton Strategies, former advisor to President George W. Bush, and co-founder of No Labels
