4.5.10: Today's Guests

Today on "The Lisa D Show" we'll start the show with Monday guest Chris Babcock talking about news that matters. Our main focus is one news story in particular that broke over the weekend, "Rep. Norma Chávez baits Naomi Gonzalez about sexual orientation." Seeing as Early Voting starts today, this story is a great conversation piece as it's timely and deals with the culture of politics and dirty campaigns.

Later in the show, se'll talk to El Paso Representative Susie Byrd about her personal experience with dirty campaigns and how she feels about Chavez "outing" Gonzalez.

Byrd posted a link to the article mentioned above on her Facebook page and a tremendous conversation started and is still going strong. Is it ethical to make a candidate's sexualty part of politics? Tune in today to look into this issue and more.
