As long as there have been politicians,there have been secretive operatives digging dirt and using it to best derail campaigns and careers. Noble? possibly not. But very much a reality. Bob takes on the unlit art of opposition research and talks to veteran researcher Alan Huffman, co-author of We're With Nobody: Two Insiders Reveal the unlit Side of American Politics, or approximately the reality of working as a political dirt-digger and how increased campaign spending and public acceptance have brought opposition research out of the shadows.
