    Washington, D.C. 20005
  • 9AM – 10:30AM EDT

The longest Presidential campaign in American history has finally come to an
end. To sift over the historic results, the ¹ú²úÊÓƵ Foundation is bringing
together its best political thinkers to discuss what happened on Election Day
and why:

  • How did Barack Obama’s rise from Illinois State Senate to
    the nation’s highest office is just four short years?
  • Does his
    victory presage a political realignment in America and a
    new era of Democratic dominance?
  • How has the 2008 election changed
    the way all campaigns will be conducted in the future?
  • What is the future of the Republican
    Party and how can the party reassert itself after back-to-back electoral
    drubbings?
