As voters gape at the news of this year’s presidential race, Forum talks with Carlos Watson, executive producer and host of PBS’ eight-part series, “The Contenders.” The series examines sixteen of the most influential campaigns for president. From flame-throwers like Howard Dean and Pat Buchanan to straight-talkers like John McCain and Shirley Chisholm, we’ll discuss the also-rans who changed politics.
