KDKA’S DELANO TO LEAD ELECTION ANALYSIS FORUM

Posted on November 1, 2010

Jon Delano, money and politics editor for KDKA-TV, will serve as moderator when a panel of political experts returns to campus to examine the results of the 2010 election 7 p.m. Nov. 16 in Room 110 of the Eberly Science and Technology Center.

Panelists are:

• William C. Binning, professor emeritus of political science at Youngstown State University.
• Louis Jacobson, staff writer for the PolitiFact online fact-checking website and a frequent contributor to PoliticsPA.com.
• Costas Panagopoulos, director of the Center for Electoral Politics and Democracy at Fordham University in New York.
• Daniel M. Shea, director of the Center for Political Participation at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa.

Panelists will discuss the mood of the electorate going into the midterm race, the issues that defined the 2010 election and the results both in Pennsylvania and in Washington, D.C. The presentation will close with a question-and-answer session.

Delano and the panel last appeared at Cal U in March for a lively look at the promises made, kept and broken during the first year of the Obama presidency. This is the third election analysis event held at Cal U since the 2008 presidential election.

The forum is free, and the public may attend. Parking is available in the Vulcan Garage.

This American Democracy Project event is sponsored in part by Cal Campaign Consultants, an interdisciplinary group that gives students an opportunity to design and manage political campaigns both on campus and in the community. Other sponsors are the Office of the President, the Office of the Provost/Academic Affairs and the Department of History and Political Science.
