For better or for worse, whether we think it's great for our democracy or terrible for

our democracy, many, many people do not sort through the particulars of a candidate's

policy proposals before selecting their preferred candidate.

Okay?

Like, it just, it's not how it works.

This is Sarah.

This is Beth, your listening to Pantzuit Politics, the home of graceful political conversations.

Hello everyone.

If your heads are spinning, welcome to the Pantzuit Politics table where we're going to try to

sort out everything that has occurred during a truly bizarre week before we get into the

news, what's happening with Syria, the Democratic debate.

We are going to start with an important reminder from Claire, who sent us a note that the

third Friday of October has been National Mammography Day since 1993.

A mammogram saved Claire's life and she wanted to share her story so that we can mark this

important day and remind all of the women in our audience to stay up to date on your

mammograms.

We also want to remind you that you can come see us live this Saturday, tomorrow in Washington,

DC for the New Ones Nation tour.

And then in early November in Dallas, Texas, you can check the show notes to get your tickets

for those.

Sarah, it's been a lot this week.

I think what you meant to say, it's been a lot this Wednesday.
