Talk to the editor: What's ahead in the nation's capital?

Join us Thursday at 1 EDT for a conversation with Monitor Washington bureau chief Dave Cook. We'll examine the Obama administration thus far, the political agenda for the fall, the life and times of the later Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, and jockeying that is already beginning for the 2010 midterm elections. Dave is the longtime host of the Monitor Breakfast.

The conversation will be webcast in this blog via Ustream. You can watch it live here.
