"Thom Hartmann on the News" with Jim Javinsky:

Mike Papantonio, co-host of the weekend show Ring of Fire, is guest hosting today, as Thom continues to recover from surgical complications. (The website incorrectly lists today's guest host as KPHX host Dr. Mike Newcomb. Also it turns out it's a rerun of Monday's show. You may listen to Randi Rhodes instead, her official audio stream is here.)

TODAY's AGENDA (see the email newsletter from Monday):

Hour One: GOP war on women..."legitimate rape", really?! (Video of this segment is on Mike's channel, GoLeftTV, on YouTube.)

- Nancy Cohen, Political commentator, historian and author-"Delirium: The Politics of Sex in America" Twitter

Latest developments in the war on voting
- Ari Berman, Political Correspondent-The Nation Magazine / Author-"Herding Donkeys" Twitter Twitter

Hour Two: Potential ethics violations of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan
- Joshua Holland, AlterNet Twitter Twitter

How the right wing is pandering to the fringe of their party
- Steve Rosenfeld, Alternet / Author-"Count My Vote" Twitter Twitter

Hour Three: Will Mitt Romney's Mormonism be a factor?
- John Amato, Journalist / Creator-Crooks and Liars Twitter Twitter

Paul Ryan's potential to swing the swing states, and not in a good way
- John Nichols, The Nation Magazine / Author-"Uprising"
