St. Louis Candidate

Linda talks with Jo Mannies, a political writer for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, about the controversy in St. Louis concerning the disqualification of a candidate for the mayoralty of the city. A 28-year-old lawyer, Donnell Smith, has sued for the right to be on the ballot for the mayor's race, even though election rules state that a candidate must be 30 to run.
