Looking Beyond the Ballot

Tulane University Looking Beyond the Ballot November 02, 2010 11:15 AM New Wave staff [email protected] The midterm elections are over now comes the analysis. Tulane University will be the stage for the Bipartisan Policy Center's second annual political summit on Tuesday (Nov. 9), bringing together some of the nation's most prominent Republican and Democractic strategists to talk about the issues. New Orleans transplants and veteran politicos James Carville and Mary Matalin will host the day-long summit, “Beyond the Ballot: Making Washington Work,” in the Kendall Cram Lecture Hall of the Lavin-Bernick Center on the uptown campus. Three panel discussions are open to the public, free of charge, but registration is requested. Kicking off the first session at 10:15 a.m. is the release of a bipartisan poll by Democracy Corp. and Resurgent Republic analyzing Tuesday's (Nov. 2) election results and examining what those results mean for the 2012 election. A panel discussion, “Taking Stock: What the Election Means for Bipartisanship,” follows at 11:15 a.m. Other panels are “Blurring the Line: Is it Journalism or Entertainment?” at 1 p.m. and “The Politics of Crisis” at 3:15 p.m. Guest panelists include Whit Ayres, Dan Bartlett, Paul Begala, Lanny Davis, Matthew Dowd, Ed Gillespie, Stan Greenberg, Walter Isaacson, Kathleen Koch, Joe Lockhart, Mark McKinnon, Kiki McLean, Steve McMahon, Todd Harris and Hilary Rosen. NBC's Betsy Fischer, Politico's Jonathan Martin and the New York Times' Kate Zernike also will participate. “We are excited to be returning to Tulane for our Second Annual Summit,” said BPC president Jason Grumet. “Amidst the rancor in Congress and hard-fought midterm elections, much of the country will be wondering if Washington can solve tough problems. By bringing together many of the nation's leading political strategists, we hope to explore how the parties can shift from campaigning to governing.” The 2009 summit at Tulane was titled, “Taking the Poison Out of Partisanship.” Tulane University | New Orleans | 504-865-5210 | [email protected].

23Rd Annual Legislative Forum October 4, 2018 Legislative Forum 2018
GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS RIGHT TIME. RIGHT PLACE. RIGHT SOLUTION. 23RD ANNUAL LEGISLATIVE FORUM OCTOBER 4, 2018 LEGISLATIVE FORUM 2018 Maine could make national headlines this November because of the number of key races on the ballot this year. With important seats up for grabs and two political parties looking to score “big wins” in our state, the only thing we can predict about our political forecast is that it is unpredictable. • Who will be Maine’s next Governor? • Which party will take control of the State Legislature? • Will incumbents prevail in Maine’s first and second Congressional districts? • Who will win the race for U.S. Senate, and will the result impact the balance of power in Washington? With so much up in the air here in Maine and a stagnant climate looming over Washington, our Legislative Forum’s key note speaker, CNN commentator Paul Begala, will offer his unique perspective and insight on today’s political landscape. He will discuss why Maine’s races will be closely watched and talk about the impact the 2018 midterm elections will have on our country and state. Begala will also offer his thoughts on the biggest issues facing Congress and how the election will impact Washington’s agenda. We’ll also bring to the stage radio power duo Ken and Matt from WGAN Newsradio’s Ken & Matt Show to share their political humor and insights with our Forum guests. Through their comedic banter, they will give “their take” on today’s top policy issues and the candidates running for office. And to close out the day, Maine Credit Union League President/CEO Todd Mason will interview a Special Guest to talk about why credit union advocacy and electing pro-credit union candidates matter.

The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy
Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.
