The speaker, a nationally recognized political expert who has attended every major party convention since 1984 will give an analysis of the 2008 US Presidential race. He will argue that this battle is unique for many reasons besides the obvious one (Barack Obama's race). It will be the first time since 1928 that neither an incumbent or former President or Vice President will be on the presidential ballot; campaign fundraising has broken all records; the red state/blue state breakdown may not hold; the Clinton effect.
Please register by Tuesday 30 September. E-tickets (with directions) will be sent on Wednesday 1 October and must be presented on arrival.
