On today's edition of Dakota Midday, host Paul Guggenheimer welcomed Regional Political Junkies Dave Kranz, columnist for the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, and Denise Ross of the Hog House Blog to the program.

Then Paul spoke with Eric Jepsen, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of South Dakota about the attacks in Mumbai. Jepsen has spent time there and has been following the situation closely.
