Samuel Popkin: What it Takes to Winand Holdthe White House

Monday, June 18 at 7:30 pm
There are two winners in every presidential election: the "inevitable" winner at the start (think Hillary Clinton, 2008) and the fated victor after it ends; Samuel Popkin explains the crucial difference. Plenty of political insiders have written about campaigns, but Popkin, author of The Candidate, analyzes exactly what it takes to win the next campaign - how challengers get to the White House, how incumbents stay there, and how successors hold power for their party - illuminating the intricacies of presidential campaigns, and what makes one succeed while another fails.
