Convention Politics and the Fall Elections I

Summary:
In the aftermath of the national conventions, the 2008 Elections are clearly all about "change." The presidential election, in particular, is now framed as a choice between opposing ideological visions of exactly what that change will actually look like. The panel, moderated by fmr. Minnesota Congressman Tim Penny, includes Thomas Mann of the Brookings Institute, Ramesh Ponnuru of National Review, and political analysts Larry Sabato and Vin Weber.
