TODAY: The American Democracy Conference
Once again, The Hotline has partnered with the Univ. of VA's Center of Politics to present our 9th annual American Democracy Conference. It's a unique year-end event in that it doesn't just look back on the year that was but looks ahead to the election that will be.
This year's ADC will feature a keynote address by James Carville, in addition to top Republican and Democratic panelists representing many of the oft-mentioned contenders for each party's WH '08 nod.
The event is free and open to the public with advance registration, and it will be held from 9am-1:15 at the Ronald Reagan Building and Int'l Trade Center (1300 Penn. Ave. NW; WDC) on Thursday, 11/30.
