Veteran CBS News White House Correspondent Bill Plante is the host of CBSNews.com’s Smoke-Filled-Room. Each week, Bill will invite a top political expert into the Smoke-Filled-Room to answer your questions.

This week’s guest is Republican pollster and consultant, Dr. Frank Luntz. The address for questions to Plante and Luntz is smokefilledroom@cbsnews.com

Dr. Frank Luntz is currently President of the Luntz Research Companies.

He was one of the strategic architects of the Republican landslide in 1994 that gave Republicans control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years and made Newt Gingrich Speaker. Luntz, famous among campaign pros for his research on language and politics, is one of the most innovative marketers of political ideas.

He has written and supervised more than 400 surveys for political and corporate clients in ten countries since founding his company in 1992.

When not consulting, Dr. Luntz has lectured at over two dozen colleges and universities, including Harvard, George Washington University and the University of Pennsylvania.

His book, Candidates, Consultants & Campaigns, addressed the American electoral process. He is also the co-author of The People's Budget, a much touted spending plan.

Send e-mail to Frank and Bill and tell them what’s on your mind.

Check back here for answers on Friday, March 3.
