Civilizing The Public Conversation

Does civil discourse stand a chance in an era of negative campaigns? We take a look at some of the harshest moments in the 2012 campaign, and talk about how they affected voters, friendships, relationships and society. And we'll talk to some experts about how to improve civil discourse in our politics and our daily lives.
