Ari Berman: The Day After: A Progressive Response to Election Night

After the 2004 election, the Republican Party held the White House, both houses of Congress, 28 governorships, and most state legislatures. And yet the Democrats came back. Journalist Ari Berman, author of Herding Donkeys, chronicles the improbable grassroots resurgence that transformed the Democratic Party, examining Howard Dean's 50-state strategy and how the Obama campaign built it into victory—all through the present-tense lens of the 2010 midterm elections. Berman will be joined by Seattleites Timothy Egan, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and New York Times correspondent, and Eli Sanders, associate editor of The Stranger. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with Elliott Bay Book Company. Series media sponsorship provided by PubliCola. Series supported by The Boeing Company Charitable Trust and the RealNetworks Foundation.
