In advance of the publication of Professor Larry Sabato's newest book, The Year of Obama: How Barack Obama Won the White House, the Center for Politics is hosting a free event at the University of Virginia Special Collections Library.
Professor Sabato will moderate a panel of distinguished academics and political analysts for a discussion about our 44th president and current political conditions. Panelists include Alan Abramowitz, professor of political science at Emory University; Rhodes Cook, political analyst and author of the Rhodes Cook Letter; and Diana Owen, professor of political science at Georgetown University. The upcoming book will include contributions by these panelists and other respected experts.
The Year of Obama explores the unexpected and historic rise of Barack Obama-from the early primaries to the convention to the days after the election-and how a relatively unknown junior senator ran an unprecedented campaign to win the presidency. With frank, accessible prose, the authors offer their insights on the issues that propelled one of the most exciting election seasons in recent history.
The event is free and open to the public with advance registration.
