The Inside Scoop on Campaign 2016:

Apocalypse Now?

Join us as we kick off our 2016 "Conversations on the Green" with two of the country’s most respected political experts:

E.J. Dionne & Charlie Cook


A nationally known commentator on politics, E.J. Dionne appears weekly on National Public Radio and regularly on MSNBC.  He also is a regular guest on "News Hour with Jim Lehrer" and other PBS programs. A senior fellow with the Brookings Institution, his latest book is "Why the Right Went Wrong: Conservatism-From Goldwater to the Tea Party and Beyond.” Dionne began his career with New York Times and started his column in The Post in 1993. He has written several award winning books, including "They Only Look Dead: Why Progressives Will Dominate the Next Political Era," "What's God Got to Do with the American Experiment," "Bush v. Gore," "Stand Up Fight Back: Republican Toughs," "Democratic Wimps, and the Politics of Revenge," and "Our Divided Political Heart: The Battle for the American Idea in an Age of Discontent."

 

 Charlie Cook is Editor and Publisher of the  Cook Political Report, a columnist for the National    Journal Group, and a Political Analyst for NBC  News.    He is considered one of the nation’s  leading  independent, non-partisan authorities on  American  politics and U.S. elections.  In 2010,  Cook was a co-  recipient of the American Political  Science  Association’s prestigious Carey McWilliams award to  honor “a major  journalistic contribution to  our  understanding of politics.” He founded the Cook Political Report in 1984 and it has become one of Washington’s most trusted sources for analysis of U.S. elections and political trends. Over the years Cook has served as a political analyst for NBC News and has appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press and ABC’s This Week, among many other prominent national programs.

Moderated by Jane Whitney

 Former NBC News correspondent and talk show host. Audience members will be  encouraged to participate in the interactive town-hall style format.
