[0:00] Very special Lou Dobs tonight. Lou,

[0:04] >> well, thank you. Tonight, there are two

[0:06] storms raging in this country. Hurricane

[0:09] Ike, a storm like we've not seen since

[0:11] Katrina 3 years ago, perhaps more

[0:14] powerful, and a political storm like

[0:16] we've never seen in presidential

[0:17] politics. Tonight, Hurricane Ike is

[0:20] charging toward the Texas and Louisiana

[0:22] coastline. It's expected to make

[0:24] landfall within hours. Our

[0:26] meteorologists say the storm will bring

[0:29] certain death to people who have refused

[0:31] to evacuate from Galveastston Island and

[0:33] a political storm on the campaign trail

[0:36] as Senator Obama has launched aggressive

[0:38] new attack ads against Senator McCain.

[0:40] Will Senator Obama's aggression lift his

[0:42] sagging poll numbers or will it alienate

[0:45] independent voters? Three of the best

[0:47] political analysts in this country join

[0:49] me to give us their assessment. And our

[0:51] public education system is in crisis. In

[0:54] fact, it's failed an entire generation

[0:56] of our students. But neither

[0:58] presidential candidate has offered a

[1:00] clear plan, a clear, urgent plan to

[1:03] address what is nothing less than a

[1:05] national crisis. Tonight, we talk with

[1:07] some of the most respected and

[1:08] innovative thinkers on public education.

[1:11] From a school that proves success is

[1:13] possible if we hold elected officials,

[1:15] administrators, and teachers

[1:17] accountable. All of that, all the

[1:19] today's news and much more from our

[1:22] independent convention with our

[1:24] independent perspective straight ahead

[1:26] here tonight.

[1:30] >> This is a special edition the Lou Dos

[1:32] Independent Convention. News,
