Election '08: The Global Impact
September 19, 2008
With the nation set to elect a new president in the coming weeks, analysts and political experts across the country continue to speculate about how the next commander in chief will address today’s global challenges. On September 19, two noted national experts presented their views on that topic, when the University of Miami’s Center for Hemispheric Policy cosponsored "Election '08: The Global Impact," a one-day forum at the Biltmore hotel.
