Ross Reynolds interviews Matt Bai, national political correspondent for Yahoo News, about his book on the Gary Hart debacle.
If you know who Hart is, you probably remember his flame-out campaign for president. In 1987 the Democratic Senator from Colorado was running against George H.W. Bush was ahead by double digits. But when the Miami Herald ran a story about a supposed affair Hart was having with model Donna Rice, his campaign fell apart within a week.
Bai, a former political correspondent for the NY Times Magazine who has covered three presidential campaigns, has re-reported the Gary Hart story for his new book, "All The Truth is Out: The Week Politics Went Tabloid."
