In this special report KERA's Shelley Kofler recaps the final moments of the campaign and talks to SMU Political Scientist Cal Jillson about the future. Is Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison's political career over? Will Debra Medina play a role in future political campaigns? What does the landscape look like as Rick Perry and Bill White square off?
