Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bob Woodward is in Maine for a couple of events over the next few days. He's at Colby College in Waterville this weekend to receive the Elijah Parish Lovejoy award for courageous journalism. And he's back here next week on the 15th for a talk at the Unversity of Southern Maine in Portland sharing his thoughts on the American political landscape in the wake of President Barack Obama's reelection. Woodward - who helped uncover the Watergate scandal in the early 70s - has been covering American politics since Nixon. He's now associate editor at the Washington Post, and joined Maine Things Considered host Tom Porter on the line from Washington, D.C.
