In a special live broadcast, Tavis and his guests, Gray Davis, Dr. Kiron Skinner, Antonio Gonzalez and Sandra Tsing Loh analyze Election Day results. DNC Chair Howard Dean also weighs in on the party victory.
Gray Davis
Gray Davis
Gray Davis was the 37th Governor of California and viewed as a possible '00 or '04 Democratic presidential candidate. But, in a huge political upheaval, his lifetime of public service was cut short by the first gubernatorial recall in state history. Davis now practices corporate law with Loeb & Loeb and, in tandem with a former GOP state Senate leader, has been a guest lecturer at UCLA's School of Public Policy. Urged by some in the party to run for governor again, he says he has no interest in running.
