With the most divided U.S. government in
memorable history, one outcome of the upcoming election is almost
certain. No matter who captures the presidency on November 8, the
policies of the government will be aligned more clearly along either a
liberal or conservative agenda on such issues as affordable health care,
immigration, taxation, approaches to terrorism, and the political and
economic challenges posed by China, Russia, and the Middle East.

The election will also determine whether each party falls into line
behind its established leaders or passes the torch to a new generation.
Glenn Altschuler and Nick Salvatore will analyze the presidential race
as well as key gubernatorial and Congressional contests—and on Sunday,
they will hazard predictions about the outcome.

The majestic Mohonk Mountain House will provide a wonderful Victorian
setting for our lectures, lively discussions, and conversations over
excellent and abundant meals. Its splendid surroundings include walking
trails, woods, craggy outcroppings, and an exquisite mountaintop lake,
all of which ensure a variety of pleasurable activities during our free
time on Saturday afternoon.
