A busy Political Junkie segment on today's Talk of the Nation.

A big win for Creigh Deeds in yesterday's Virginia Democratic gubernatorial primary. What to make of the November matchup with Republican Bob McDonnell?

Senate Judiciary Committee chair Pat Leahy says the Sotomayor confirmation hearings begin July 13; Republicans lump it.

Plus: trying to make sense of what's going on in the New York state Senate, Roland Burris loses a challenger in Illinois, a former New Hampshire senator tries his luck in Florida, and William "Deep Freeze" Jefferson finally goes to trial.

Today's special guest: Richard Wolffe, author of Renegade: The Making of a President.

Join host Neal Conan and me every Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET for the Junkie segment on TOTN, where you can often, but not always, find interesting conversation, useless trivia questions and sparkling jokes. And you can win a Political Junkie T-shirt!

Last week's segment, with special guest Tom Goldstein of SCOTUSblog, can be heard here.

If your local NPR station doesn't carry TOTN, you can hear the program on the Web or on HD Radio. And if you are a subscriber to XM/Sirius radio, you can find the show there as well (siriusly).
