A free sample of Mike Murphy's new podcast with David Axelrod! Campaign veterans David Axelrod and Mike Murphy take you deep inside the very top level of American politics with a degree of insight and knowledge you’re not going to get from Twitter. Or from any quick hit, headline grabbing daily dispatch. These seasoned pros have seen it all: the peaks and valleys, the pressure-cooker moments, the huge breaks and horrible calamities no one saw coming — and they will take listeners deep behind in the scenes and into the very top level of political strategy. For decades Axelrod, the Democrat, and Murphy, the Republican, have run campaigns – hundreds of them – for the White House to State Houses to City Halls-all over the country. In fact, they’ve even run campaigns against each other! Yet over the last twenty-five plus years they have maintained a close friendship and a shared love of American politics.
