Matthew Stoller, a writer and fellow with the Roosevelt Institute, sticks around to talk more with ‘TYT’ about the role of money in politics and why Americans actually need to be more power-obsessed, not less. “The focus on the race is a good way to distract people from the underlying lack of power that voters have,” Stoller says. “The question is not who to vote for, Mitt Romney or Barack Obama… The question should be, how can the public reestablish a way to block the stream of profit and commerce — that they could do when they could strike — and thereby establish leverage with policy makers and economic elites… We should put the question of the election aside, because this is almost a meaningless spectacle.”

Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin attacks Michelle Obama for her work on — get this — health issues and nutrition. Cenk asks the TYT gang whether Malkin should join the ranks of one other conservative commentator who shall not be named (ahem, Ann Coulter) and be banned from any mention on the show. What do you think?

Cenk asks his Power Panel — BuzzFeed.com’s McKay Coppins and syndicated columnist Cliff Schecter — whether President Obama has done enough to help support efforts to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. “If he went in, he could bring a ton of momentum to the race,” Coppins says, “but if he goes in there and they lose the election, he’s got egg on his face…in what could be a very important swing state.” Schecter says, “Maybe Obama needs a little more John McCain in him. This is a risk but it’s a calculated risk. I don’t think they look at the longer picture. High risk, high reward — worth the risk in this case.”
