Six days out from the midterm elections, the punditocracy predicts massive losses for Democrats in the House.  California, however, remains the exception – Republican candidates Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina seem to face certain defeat.  What explains California’s exceptionalism?  We’ll ask HAROLD MEYERSON — he writes columns for the op-ed pages of the Washington Post and the L.A. Times — and JOHN NICHOLS — he’s Washington Correspondent for The Nation and writes “The Beat” blog at TheNation.com.

Also: TOM HAYDEN on the new WikiLeaks: the largest classified military leak in history –400,000 pages that document the brutal war and occupation in Iraq.  Tom of course is a leading voice for ending the wars in Iraq and Aftghanistan, after 40 years of activism, politics, and writing.
