Election 2008: Transformation or Continuity?

The Stanford Club of Philadelphia invites all inter-school alumni to their 2008 faculty speaker event at

The National Constitution Center on

Sunday, October 12, 2008

11:30 AM BRUNCH and 12:30 PM PANEL

Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama both seek to convince voters that their positions and presidencies might represent a departure from eight years of the Bush administration. 

It is reasonable to consider two questions: 1) How much would the presidency of either candidate represent a sea-change shift from previous policies? and 2) How much transformation is desirable, and how much may be too much? 

These questions will be discussed by Stanford communication and political science professor Dr. Shanto Iyengar, Swarthmore political science professor Dr. Rick Valelly, and Dr. Richard Johnston, Professor of Political Science and Research Director of the National Annenberg Election Study at the University of Pennsylvania. The panelists will be introduced by Dr. John Pollock, Stanford Ph.D. and professor of communication studies at The College of New Jersey.

Cost:
 Non-members of the Stanford Club of Philadelphia – lunch and panel: $25
 Panel only registration: $10

Please register and RSVP by Tuesday, September 30, 2008: http://www.stanfordclubs.org/philadelphia/RegCard-20081012.pdf
