Arianna Huffington
Conservative-turned-liberal author Arianna Huffington made headlines in recent weeks when she said presumptive GOP nominee John McCain told her he didn't vote for George Bush in 2000. It's a charge McCain denies. We get Huffington's take on the presidential race and on her new book, "Right is Wrong: How the Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America." Huffington is the founder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post.
