Handicapping the Odds
The upcoming presidential election continues to stir the emotions and energize the nation of voters. Terry McAuliffe is just as excited and anticipatory as we are. The chairman of Hillary Clinton for President, McAuliffe discusses his contributions to campaigns and helps audiences feel like they are insiders as well. His knowledge and participation in the political arena makes for an engaging discussion and puts a new perspective on the upcoming race as he outlines key issues and landmark moments (from caucuses to primaries to debates) and predicts the potential future for who will be the next president of the United States.

Politics—Looking Towards 2008
The 2006 mid-term elections prompted more questions than answers: how does the Bush agenda fare during the last years of his presidency? What does a re-energized Democratic party mean for policy issues like health care and education? And what will the future of War In Iraq mean for both parties? Former RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman takes a close look at the political issues of today and dissects the upcoming 2008 presidential race, parsing the candidates and their campaign strategies, showing audiences what's really happening behind the scenes. Mehlman's goal—encouraging a healthy exchange of ideas that locate common ground where both sides can agree—results in a presentation unmatched in both its candor and its political insight.
