Columbus Metropolitan Club - Race Gender and the Presidential Election
 
Play
 
In the race for the President this year, a victory for either the McCain-Palin or Obama-Biden ticket would be unprecedented in U.S. history, featuring either a female vice president or an African-American president. The national debate regarding racial and gender bias has been in full swing since the democratic primaries featuring Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and has only heightened with the confirmation of Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin as the Republican vice presidential nominee. Join us for an in-depth discussion of this year's historic election from a gender and race perspective, and hear how our panel believes this election will change (or not change) the country's attitudes.
