The Political Landscape is a weekly podcast where we discuss the news of the day with leading experts.

This week on the National Journal Political Landscape, we have Jim O’Sullivan calling in on his first day of a well-deserved vacation to discuss his recent piece on Mitt Romney’s run for governor in 2002. In the piece, O'Sullivan details how Romney expertly analyzed the political field to get his top-choice lieutenant governor elected. We discuss what this means for Romney’s current Vice Presidential selection process.
