September 28, 2012 – Road to the Whitehouse 2012 Discussion with Narda Zacchino and Robert Scheer
The USC Annenberg School’s Center on Communication Leadership and Policy (CCLP) presented a discussion on the 2012 elections featuring CCLP senior fellow Narda Zacchino, who is currently working on a book about California that focuses on the oft-made comparisons between California and Texas. Joining her will be Annenberg professor and Truthdig editor Robert Scheer.
Zacchino has written that “the emergence of Texas Gov. Rick Perry as the frontrunner for the GOP nomination for president has invited invidious comparisons with Democratic-controlled California, as Texas, with its lower unemployment rate and job growth, appears to be in better economic shape than the Golden State. Perry supporters offer this as an argument for Republican leadership in Washington. But a closer examination of the facts renders a mixed verdict on the success and failings of both states and some surprising reasons why Texas has not suffered as much as California in the national recession.”
September 7, 2011 Road to the White House 2012: Politics, Media, and Technology (Millenials)
In the Sept. 7th, Road to the White House 2012: Politics, Media & Technology presentation, Mike Hais and CCLP Senior Fellow Morley Winograd, co-authors of the book “Millennial Momentum: How a new generation is remaking America,” discussed the impact the generation of millennials will have on the upcoming presidential election. The Millennial Generation will vote for President Obama two to one – at least, the 60 percent who are now of voting age will. That’s the prediction of Michael Hais, co-author with Morley Winograd of “Millennial Momentum.” Hais characterizes generations as being united by common behavior, common attitudes and a sense that they are in it together In the last election, Winograd says, “these young people voted, and they voted in a president of the United States.” Motivating younger voters this November will be issues of jobs and the economy, and the quality and price of education.
