The “Free Enterprise Friday” roundtable on CNBC’s “The Kudlow Report” means the always gracious but relentless Larry Kudlow focuses his panel of three guests on very specific subjects.

Larry’s table Friday included Richard Socarides, Democratic strategist and former Clinton White House official, New York City radio talker Mark Simone and me. After Larry led us through a dissection of the brutal opening of the 2014 edition of the Obamacare follies, we all turned our collective attention to the Senate races of 2014.
