PROGRAM FEATURES............
Our speaker on October 7, John Dinan, Associate
Professor of Political Science, WFU and our speaker on October 14, John Hood,
John Locke Foundation, both brought us very interesting and informative talks
on the upcoming elections. Each one has his own perspective of the election.
John Dinan says this is a very interesting election year. Political Scientists
use tools to analyze the election outcome such as historical patterns. They
are not preoccupied with polls. They prefer to look at long term factors.
John Hood, says he and his partners in the think tank pay attention
to the politics of politics so we don't have to. Hood loves public policy
and journalism. His predictions and journalism reflect conservative and market-driven
ideas. Both speakers talked about demographics and the battleground states
and how they will influence the outcome of the elections. Thank you to both
speakers for very thought provoking information.
