Today on The Ed Morrissey Show, we have another bonus-minute show in store for you at 3 pm ET!  Jim Geraghty joins us first to discuss all of his hottest items at Campaign Spot. We’ll talk about the primary upset in Idaho, and how a Republican has a lead in Oregon. What exactly is the status of Rob Simmons’ campaign?

In the next 30 minutes, we’ll meet former Congressman Tom Campbell for the first time.  We’ve interviewed Carly Fiorina and Chuck DeVore in the past, and now we’ll get to know the third Republican vying for the privilege of battling Barbara Boxer for the US Senate seat from California.  Can Campbell make the conservative case?  We’ll ask him about the issues and the election, and we’ll be taking questions from the chat room, too!

In bonus minutes, John Lott returns to talk about the release of a new edition of More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws, Third Edition (Studies in Law and Economics). John will bring us up to date on all of the new information he’s included in this new edition, and maybe talk about Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s argument for gun control.

The Ed Morrissey Show and its dynamic chatroom can be seen on the permanent TEMS page — be sure to join us!
