New York Times columnist David Brooks and, eventually, syndicated columnist Mark Shields, joined us on the Rundown Friday to discuss the effects of President Obama's stimulus plan, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's Proposition 14 election reform and the NBA Finals.

We started our conversation with Brooks because Shields was stuck in traffic, but he eventually showed up in time to weigh in on California and predict the Boston Celtics will win the NBA championship.
