The Only Poll That Matters

When David Axelrod, Mike Murphy, and John Heilemann get together to talk politics, it’s not academic.

So if you want to know what’s really going on behind the scenes, where strategic decisions are being made, pull up a stool for Hacks on Tap. Incisive, sometimes uproarious and always entertaining, these political warhorses and their guests will give you insights you’ll only get from folks who have spent a lifetime in the political trenches of both parties.&nbsp;
