Linda talks with Mark Souder (SOW-der), Republican freshman from Indiana, about the Contract with America. Souder says it is time for the Republicans to regroup and go to a fallback strategy. He says that the Republican leadership has been too accommodating, and that individual members of Congress should vote independently, even if it causes tension within the party.
