Follow Friday: CPAC, Gay Marriage, Contraception

The Takeaway

It’s Friday, the time we spend time with our most valuable minds here on The Takeaway to look at the week’s stories. Is the Conservative Political Action Conference a right-wing Star Trek convention? How will the gay marriage issue play out? And why has contraception become a political issue? Our panel tackles these stories and more. Ron Christie is a Takeaway contributor and Republican political strategist. Jeff Yang writes the Tao Jones column for The Wall Street Journal and blogs for our co-producer WNYC’s It’s a Free Country. Farai Chideya is a journalist and blogger at Farai.com.
