Each week Brian Lehrer, Anna Sale and Todd Zwillich compete to play the most revealing soundbites they can find -- from the ones that help define major policy to the ones that made everyone say “Wait, what?!” It's also your chance to join the fun with games, tweets, surveys, and -- of course -- your vote on who you think brought the best clip. Every Thursday from now until election day.
