Description
Tufts Alumni Palm Beach invites you for a discussion with Professor Jeffrey M. Berry! With the 2010 congressional elections now behind us, attention turns to the 2012 presidential cycle. Both parties are already gearing up. What are the implications for the presidential election from the 2010 results? What are the longer-term trends that will influence 2012? Professor Berry sees dangers for both the Republicans and the Democrats. He’ll outline the dilemmas for each party and engage Tufts alums in a discussion about American politics going forward.
