Political Data Inc. head honcho Paul Mitchell joins us to talk about the political environment as we move toward the midterms. This week's upset special election in PA 18 - where Democrat Conor Lamb won in a GOP-leaning district that went for Trump by about 20 points - is being cited by many as further evidence that a Democratic wave is building. But what happens in California, where the national Tea Party wave of 2010 failed to cross the Sierra? Will California's red house districts STAY red in 2018, and how will Top Two affect the outcome? All this, and more in today's Capitol Weekly Podcast.
