Fans of politics, or of Public Radio, are familiar with the work of Mara Liasson. The NPR National Political Correspondent, who also appears regularly as a contributor on Fox Television's Special Report with Brit Hume, was in Maine last night as a guest of MPBN.

Liasson spoke with Keith Shortall about the unusual power now wielded by Maine's two moderate Republican senators, and how it came to be. Mara Liasson was in Maine yesterday as the guest speaker at MPBN's Board of Trustees Annual Meeting in Augusta.
