Pennsylvanians and Presidential Elections: G. Terry Madonna
October 27 at 5 p.m.
at The State Museum of Pennsylvania
How have Pennsylvanians helped to shape and complete the policies of the
nation's leading office?
What have been the historic trends, and how may they affect the 2008
election outcome?
Dr. G. Terry Madonna will address these topics and much more in his timely
presentation at The State Museum of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, on October
27 at 5 p.m.
Dr. Madonna is a professor and director of the Center for Politics and
Public Affairs at Franklin and Marshall College, and director of the
Franklin and Marshall College Poll, Lancaster. His recently published
book, Pivotal Pennsylvania: Presidential Politics from FDR to the
Twenty-First Century explores Pennsylvania's role in politics from 1932
through the 2004 election. In addition to discussing the election span of
the book, Dr. Madonna will also present up-to-date information about the
2008 presidential election.
Welcoming attendees prior to Dr. Madonna's presentation will be Dr.
Kenneth C. Wolensky, a historian with the Pennsylvania Historical and
Museum Commission who has published and spoken widely on the history of
labor, industry, politics, and public policy. Dr. Wolensky will provide a
brief presentation entitled "Lessons and Leaders from Pennsylvania's
20th-century Politics." He will highlight several of the leading figures
in PA's 20th-century political world and review some of the key lessons
learned.
Join us eight days before the 2008 election to hear these award-winning
speakers!
